Chapter 174: A Conversation With The Empress Dowager

After Shui Anluo took the little darling’s temperature, her arm began to hurt at the thought of the injection in the afternoon. As the little darling was argumentative, she had to hold him during the injection. Otherwise, he would cry and make a fuss. Unfortunately, Chu Ningyi’s leg was suffering from an inconvenience so she could not ask him to hold the baby.

During her afternoon break, Shui Anluo stayed with the little baby and lay on the bed while Chu Ningyi did his work on the sofa next to them.

Shui Anluo spoke as she played with her phone, “You don’t have to stand guard over there, go do your thing.” She does not want to see him at all now.

‘I don’t know’, what had he meant by ‘I don’t know’?

He had spoken as if she was clinging onto him and refusing to let him go.

Chu Ningyi slowly looked up indifferently before he continued his meeting with the senior management.

Xiao Luozi: Do you think that he’s sick? My mom too, why should she have to ask his permission to take me away?

Empress Dowager: That’s because every mother-in-law would think that Director Chu is a son-in-law who looks more pleasing to the eye each passing day.

Xiao Luozi: Oh pooh, him?

Empress Dowager: You shouldn’t talk. Previously, someone made a list of ‘A’ City’s most eligible bachelors. Your husband was in the first place and this hasn’t changed for many years. He’s still first when you had gotten married to him.

Xiao Luozi: Those people are blind.

Empress Dowager: When everyone is blind, it just shows that the person who’s seeing clearly is the actual blind person. I personally think that Director Chu isn’t too bad.

Xiao Luozi: When did you become his fan?

Empress Dowager: I always have been. More importantly, last time…

Shui Anluo stared at her friend’s incomplete sentence. She waited for a while but did not see any continuation of the sentence. She could not help but feel curious.

Xiao Luozi: What about last time?

Empress Dowager: Nothing. Don’t you think that ever since you’ve been by his side, every time we talk it’s because of him? Besides, I just called him your husband and you didn’t even show any objection. Xiao Luozi, tell me, you’ve actually fallen into the enemy’s hands, haven’t you?

Shui Anluo stared at Qiao Yaruan’s response and did not move for a long while. Had she fallen into the enemy’s hands?

How could that be?

It was impossible, definitely impossible!

Shui Anluo continued to psychoanalyze herself.

Xiao Luozi: Oh please, when did you ever see me fall into the enemy’s hands? I’ll dig your eyes out and step on them like balls.

Empress Dowager: …

Xiao Luozi: Now that you’ve mentioned it, are you alright after being dragged away by that lunatic?

Empress Dowager: I’m fine, how could anyone do anything to me? He, on the other hand, nearly had his family jewels cut off by me. It’s quite a nice thing to think about.

Family jewels!

Shui Anluo spat. It goes without saying that she does not have Qiao Yaruan’s courage to chop off Chu Ningyi’s family jewels.

Xiao Luozi: Why? Why had he dragged you away that day?

Empress Dowager: He’s crazy, who knows what he’s thinking?

Shui Anluo pursed her lips and chatted with Qiao Yaruan a little more before she put her phone down. Chu Ningyi was still in his meeting. He did not speak loudly, probably worried about disturbing the little darling’s rest. Besides, he was not speaking in Mandarin or English. It was a language Shui Anluo did not understand.

Shui Anluo lay down in silence. See, this was the difference between her and Chu Ningyi. It was a difference like the Pacific Ocean and the Great African Rift Valley. A world where she does not understand him and he might not understand her little world either.

Chu Ningyi listened to the report from Africa and looked up to stare at Shui Anluo who was lying quietly on the bed. He frowned before he looked down and continued to speak to the person on the other end.

Shui Anluo gently patted her son’s small body, deep in thought. She soon fell asleep.

After Chu Ningyi finished his meeting, he removed his earphones and looked at the mother and baby on the bed.

He still has not given an answer to Long Manyin. Would Long Manyin ultimately take Shui Anluo away?
