Chu Ningyi opened the car door and pushed her inside. “Let them squander their time over their own matters.”
Chu Ningyi was now completely fed up with Qiao Yaruan’s existence even though she had taught him how to identify his own feelings.
However, it was because he had identified his feelings that Chu Ningyi now dislikes how Shui Anluo continued to put Qiao Yaruan at the most important position in her heart.
Shui Anluo stroked her chin and looked at the dormitory. She slapped her thigh. “That’s not right, my Director Chu is much better than he is so why should I be scared of him?”
Chu Ningyi got into the car and calmly glanced at her. His heart silently added: ‘Because you’re an idiot.’
He then instructed Uncle Chu to start the car.
When Shui Anluo got into the car, she noticed that he was dressed in off-white leisurewear that matched her sportswear well. She could not wear a gown because of her injuries so Chu Ningyi had coordinated his outfit with hers and did not put on a suit.
The dissatisfaction that Shui Anluo had felt instantly dissipated when she thought about this. She grinned and put her head on his shoulder. “Director Chu, are you starting the reception with a sporting event?”
Banquets have always been lofty and snooty, she wondered how people would react when they saw them.
Chu Ningyi glanced at her icily, had she only noticed what he was wearing now?
Was he that non-existent in her eyes?
This woman… Deserves to be smacked.
“Feeling better?”
Shui Anluo shook her head. Even though she felt moved by Chu Ningyi’s consideration, Qiao Yaruan’s issues still made her sad.
“I never thought that the Empress Dowager would be connected to Sister Qirou’s death.”
Chu Ningyi leaned back on the chair and patted her back gently. He did not give an opinion.
“That’s right, what was that call from this afternoon about?” She had not asked in the afternoon but he seems to be in a pretty good mood now so he should not be angry anymore.
Chu Ningyi frowned when he heard her question. He felt irritated when he thought about that call and the matter which he had sent someone to investigate.
That caller this afternoon had been Mo Lusu. It was a simple message, he had informed him that Shui Moyun was awake but the next part of his sentence was even simpler – he was gone!
He understood what Mo Lusu meant. What Shui Anluo hated the most in her entire life was being abandoned.
Shui Moyun’s actions undeniably meant that he had abandoned Shui Anluo once again. Mo Lusu had talked to him about this because telling Shui Anluo would be a troublesome matter.
Mo Lusu had told him about this just as he had managed to lower Shui Anluo’s defenses. He had then asked Chu Ningyi to personally tell Shui Anluo that she had been abandoned by her father again.
Chu Ningyi smirked with a hint of ridicule on his lips.
He had seen right through Mo Lusu’s plan.
If he told Shui Anluo about this, the whole issue about Chu Ningyi abandoning her in the past would explode.
And the conclusion?
What kind of change would their newly-stabilized relationship go through?
Shui Anluo blinked at Chu Ningyi. She thought that it was strange when she saw the disdainful sneer on the corners of his lips.
“Nothing, it’s just work.” So Chu Ningyi was still choosing to hide it from her.
Naturally, Shui Anluo would not ask too much about his work so she simply lay on his shoulder, closed her eyes and rested.
The car arrived at the venue. Uncle Chu stopped the car at the doorway and drove it to the car park after they had got down from the car.
The Chu Group was hosting the banquet this time to collect donations for the disaster.
There were many handsome men and pretty ladies at the venue. All were decked out in splendid attires, especially the women. When they found out that there was no definite news on Shui Anluo’s survival, they had exhausted every effort to dress up.
It had all been in vain. Chu Ningyi escorted Shui Anluo into the venue and shocked everybody.
