Shui Anluo stared at the black blotch on her wrist as she walked upstairs in a slightly fidgety manner. It looked like she has to find her senior brother to ask for his phone number again.
“Miss Shui, it’s ti to eat.” Maid Yu called out to her loudly.
“I’m not hungry, Maid Yu, you guys go ahead.” Shui Anluo replied weakly. She then returned to her room and threw herself onto the bed.
“Have you gone mad, Shui Anluo? Why’re you quarreling with him?” Shui Anluo said and imdiately pulled the pillow over her head. Insane. She must have definitely gone insane.
Maid Yu wiped her hands on her apron. She turned to look at Chu Ningyi who was in the living room and asked, “Will you be eating, young master?”
Chu Ningyi frowned. He had seen Shui Anluo’s twitchiness. Had she cared about that phone number so much?
“Later.” Chu Ningyi replied as he carried the gurgling little darling and walked upstairs.
Shui Anluo pulled out a pile of cash from a box beneath her bed. This was the money that had been given to her to subsidize the baby’s milk powder. She had never touched it.
“Baby, Mommy’s going to borrow so of your money, alright? Your daddy’s paying for your milk powder now anyway. When your daddy no longer wants you, Mommy will make up for this money.” Shui Anluo softly exclaid. The events which had transpired today made her understand how difficult it was for her to go out without any money.
Money was not a good thing but one would be helpless if they left ho without it.
Shui Anluo’s careful actions pulled and hurt Chu Ningyi’s heart. He seed to have forgotten that Shui Anluo was still a student. She has no form of inco.
He believed that she was not exactly at the end of her rope. It was likely that she had kept the money for the milk powder. She must have kept it in case he beca weary of the mother and son and chased them out again. She would then use the money for the little darling’s expenses.
Chu Ningyi turned around to leave and returned shortly after.
Shui Anluo just pinched exactly five hundred dollars which were enough for her living expenses for half a month. Once she received her intern’s salary, she would make up the difference for the little darling.
Shui Anluo looked up when a card was suddenly thrown onto the table. Shui Anluo looked down curiously and imdiately recognized it. In fact, she knew it very well. It was Chu Ningyi’s supplentary card. She had used it in the past but she returned it when they had divorced.
“Tsk, tsk. Director Chu, do you plan on providing for ?” Shui Anluo picked up the card and looked at it from all angles. Great, this was the sa card she had used back then. At the ti, the bank had launched a promotion and she begged Chu Ningyi for a very long ti before he changed the supplentary card to feature a cartoon on it. At the ti, Chu Ningyi had been a very impatient man.
Chu Ningyi threw a knife-like icy glare at her. Shui Anluo shut her mouth and returned the card to him. “Here, I haven’t reached the stage where I need soone to provide for .”
“Nobody wants this childish thing of yours,” said Chu Ningyi before he turned around sassily and left the room.
Shui Anluo’s lips were twitching uncontrollably
‘Nobody wants this childish thing of yours?’
She cursed at him. Had he any idea how much money was in this card? Who would not want money?
He even called her childish. It was just the Kitty cartoon character and she was an international gastar. How could this be considered childish?
Shui Anluo decided to go down and eat. The little darling was sitting alone in his cot and playing with his toy gun. When he saw his mother, he cooed before he continued playing.
Shui Anluo sat next to Chu Ningyi and Maid Yu imdiately served the rice. Shui Anluo thanked her before she turned to Chu Ningyi. “Did you really call and send a ssage? When had you done that?”
Chu Ningyi looked up and sent her a cool glare before he threw his phone at her so she could see it for herself.
Shui Anluo carefully held the phone which had been thrown at her and could not help but roll her eyes. This person was unyieldingly sassy. He had just thrown his phone to her, what was he thinking?
“Hubby, let play with your phone, please. My phone has run out of battery.”
“Shui Anluo, learn to respect the privacy of others.”
They had only been married for half a year at that ti. Shui Anluo heard from Qiao Yaruan that boyfriends and girlfriends shared their phones so when she had got ho one Saturday, she smiled and asked him for his. However, she had received an answer which was close to a slap on the face.
From that mont on, Shui Anluo understood that he had never seen her as his wife but only as a family obligation.
The phone incident and the study incident had both occurred in the sa week. The week after that, Chu Ningyi received a Shui Anluo who was no longer close to him but he had not seed to care.
This ti, Shui Anluo only put his phone down silently but did not unlock it. “I was making my rounds from three to four o’clock and left my phone in the office. Perhaps soone deleted the missed call and ssage.”
Shui Anluo shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. After the news had leaked, nurous won in ‘A’ City had begun to hate her. Even though An Fengyang had deleted the original post, the fallout was still there. Chu Ningyi had never intended to care anyways.
Therefore, it was understandable that those two-faced won who had elbowed her could have deleted the ssage.
“It’s only your first day and your popularity is already so abysmal.” Chu Ningyi scoffed coldly.
“Yes, yes. A divorced woman who brought a child from an unknown father has shalessly returned to tackle the Prince of ‘A’ City. You have no idea how much hatred this shaless woman has garnered from other shaless won,” Shui Anluo said nonchalantly before she began to eat.
Chu Ningyi finally raised his brow. “Hasn’t the news been deleted?”
Shui Anluo chuckled and only continued to eat.
Even though the news had been deleted, a woman’s jealousy was truly frightening. From the mont the news had leaked, Shui Anluo knew what her image would beco in the hearts of most won in ‘A’ City. Though it had not bothered her, she had no power over it. She could only pretend as if she had not heard anything.
No one liked to be cursed at but so won were naturally short-tempered so they would give back as good as they got. However, Shui Anluo was inherently eker so she could only pretend as though she had heard nothing.
Chu Ningyi furrowed his brows. He had announced that he was coming out of the closet with An Fengyang because An Fengyang wanted to stop his marriage to Shui Anjiao but needed a reason to do so. He had then brought Shui Anluo ho because he had seen the baby’s photo. In order to stifle his mother’s nagging, he made his mother choose one out of the two.
As for him leaking that picture of him with Shui Anluo, that had entirely been a slip of the hand.
His hand rely slipped when he had seen the words ‘Senior Brother’. 1
However, he never thought that this matter would affect Shui Anluo so much.
If she had complained and quarreled with him, perhaps he would feel a little more at ease. However, this woman had clearly suffered yet she had not said a thing. This caused him to feel as though he had done sothing wrong.
After Shui Anluo finished her dinner, she picked up her son who held his arms out and asked to be carried. She slipped her hands beneath his armpits and let him step on her feet. “Say Mommy, Mommy.”
“Ah pu... Ah pu...” He continued his spit bubble making business.
“Silly little thing, silly little thing.” Shui Anluo carried him and got up before she turned to walk upstairs.
“Shui Anluo.”
Chu Ningyi suddenly spoke up and Shui Anluo turned back in curiosity.
