Chu Ningyi lifted his head to look at Shui Anluo’s icy-cold demeanor and once again recognized Shui Anjiao’s innate stupidity. It seemed that the last lesson she had received had not been enough.

Shui Anjiao felt frightened by the sudden change in Shui Anluo’s face. Thoughts of what had happened last time rushed back into her mind and she unconsciously began to cover her face.

“In short, you can just wait to fall into her lies.” Shui Anjiao stomped her feet again before she left the place.

Chu Ningyi let Shui Anluo’s hand go and she blinked. Had Chu Ningyi done that because of Shui Anjiao’s presence?

Usually, holding someone else’s hand meant that this man actually liked that woman and was only using the other woman to provoke her.

The corners of Shui Anluo’s lips twitched. ‘ Director Chu, how many people do you actually like?’

“No, how could Shui Anjiao turn out this way? Was her past lovable character merely a facade? What a waste of my past perception of her as such an obedient child,” He Xiaoran spoke irritably.

Shui Anluo abruptly understood the situation then lowered her head to look at Chu Ningyi who was now reading to fill his boredom. ‘ You really are a god, every step you’ve taken is always calculated.’

At that moment, He Xiaoran has thoroughly given up. She would never agree with her son taking a male wife but if her son found another woman who was as two-faced as Shui Anjiao, it would have been a loss as well. No matter how she looked at it, Shui Anluo was still the most suitable person. Even though she was sometimes useless and easily bullied, her value lay in her kindness and her straightforwardness.

“Luoluo, we’ll leave Ningyi in your care, don’t make any more mistakes.” He Xiaoran purposely added weight to those words before leaving the place with her silent husband.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Honestly, Director Chu, you really are annoying. Just that one little scheme has caused her to be unable to play the part of a good person in front of your mother.” Shui Anluo sympathized with Shui Anjiao a little.

“Even if I were to arrange it, I would not have had so much time to trouble myself by pitying that woman.” Chu Ningyi looked up slightly before he continued to calmly read his book.

‘Uh…’

Shui Anluo looked at the ceiling. It goes without saying that Director Chu has always had a formidable ability to look beyond the physical into a person’s true intentions.

“It feels quite nice.” Shui Anluo nodded complacently. “However, why did you have to cause trouble for her?”

Chu Ningyi once again scoffed coldly at her.

Shui Anluo rolled her eyes with her back turned against him. What was so great about throwing this attitude? She could roll her eyes at him as well.

Chu Ningyi had suffered a mild fracture on his calf. Even though he did not need to stay in the hospital, Shui Anluo took advantage of his full attention and immediately said, “Look, Director Chu, your amazing mother has asked me to take care of you and I happen to work in this hospital. Why don’t you humbly stay for a few more days?”

Chu Ningyi slowly raised his head to look at the expression on Shui Anluo’s face. She resembled a fawning lackey and her eyes were flashing with a peculiar light. In the end, he scoffed.

Shui Anluo blinked. What does that scoff mean? Did he agree to stay or not? ‘ Great Master, you should at least give some other form of acknowledgment.’

“Doctor Shui, Doctor Lin is looking for you. You better hurry over,” A young nurse rolled her eyes at Shui Anluo and spoke as she stood by the door.

Shui Anluo shot a look at the nurse’s position. ‘ How nice, that position is just nice. She thought that Chu Ningyi couldn’t see her at all from that place and that was why she had dared to roll her eyes at me.’

“See, Director Chu? I need to get busy.” Shui Anluo grinned as she stood by the bed and quietly waited for a reply. When Chu Ningyi only scoffed once again, Shui Anluo scrambled away.
