Chapter 414: Give Lan Xin A Call

“After I had given birth to the little darling, she was the one who had done everything for me by herself. Even my mother admitted that she did not do as much as Qiao Yaruan,” Shui Anluo said, wiping the tears from her eyes. “The Empress Dowager has the damned heart of the Virgin Mary. Actually, we didn’t have a good relationship in the beginning. Our relationship got better after I was attacked by rumors in the university. At the time, she said that she found the sight of villains acting like saints very annoying.”

“She certainly is transparent.” Chu Ningyi spoke again. These were the kind of people who carried wounds that others could not see.

“So this matter really was an accident. She certainly doesn’t want anything to happen to me more than anyone else.” Shui Anluo pursed her lips, hoping that Chun Ningyi could change his opinion of Qiao Yaruan.

Chu Ningyi kept silent.

Shui Anluo leaned against the seat as she looked outside. “Without her, I might have dropped out of university too. Maybe I won’t even have had the courage to give birth to the little darling.”

Shui Anluo’s voice was faint.

Chu Ningyi frowned and glanced at her, knowing that she was still reproaching him for refusing to forgive Qiao Yaruan over the incident. Her message was that Qiao Yaruan had taken care of his wife and child. How could he still blame her?

Shui Anluo stopped talking and simply stared at him with a kind of looming gaze.

She decided to keep staring at him in that looming manner if he still refuses to forgive Qiao Yaruan.

However, Shui Anluo failed to understand that Chu Ningyi refuses to forgive Qiao Yaruan because she had placed Shui Anluo in danger. She had unconsciously assumed that Chu Ningyi’s concern was expected of him.

Because she was important to him.

Shui Anluo had never considered how this was any of his business.

Chu Ningyi also never thought about how this was any of his business either.

Chu Ningyi coolly responded to her looming gaze and only scoffed icily.

It was automatically game over for Shui Anluo. Fine, she was no match for Director Chu but if he dared to cause any trouble for Qiao Yaruan when she came over, she would take the little darling and stage a protest.

Shui Anluo scoffed as she thought. She seemed to have forgotten that the little darling would usually stand on his daddy’s side during any battle and mock her these days.

Chu Ningyi bought Shui Anluo home and, as usual, drove the car back into the garage.

Shui Anluo was in low spirits when she got down from the car. It was not because of Lin Qianchen but because of Chu Ningyi. He still has not shown what his attitude toward Qiao Yaruan was.

After Chu Ningyi arrived home, Maid Yu decided to buy vegetables. Chu Ningyi gave her a rough estimate of the number of guests.

‘Five?’

Shui Anluo blinked and looked down to count with her fingers — There was An Fengyang and his wife, Bai Yehan, and Feng Feng which makes four altogether but Chu Ningyi had mentioned five. That meant that he still included Qiao Yaruan as well.

“Oh yeah…” Shui Anluo’s spirits were lifted instantly. She rushed over, hugged Chu Ningyi and kissed him before she happily ran upstairs.

Chu Ningyi raised his brow as he touched his cheek on the spot where she had kissed him.

It seems that she had lost all her friends after that incident. Now, even Mo Lusu was no longer her friend so Qiao Yaruan was her only friend. That was why she had been so concerned.

Shui Anluo arrived at the stairway and suddenly remembered something. She turned around and looked at Chu Ningyi. “Give Lan Xin a call later. Even though she has found out that I’m still alive, I think that she’d be even more shocked about it if she hears it from you,” said Shui Anluo with a smirk.
