Shui Anluo and Chu Ningyi were just acting out a classic scene from Titanic at the balcony when Shui Anluo’s phone suddenly rang.
Chu Ningyi placed his chin on her shoulder and frowned.
Shui Anluo giggled and wiggled away from his embrace. She ran to the living room and pulled out her phone. When she saw the name on the screen, she rejoiced. She held her phone and flopped onto the sofa to answer the call.
“Empress Dowager, are you thinking about me now?” Shui Anluo asked with a grin.
“Yes…” Qiao Yaruan replied with a forced smile. “I’m thinking of strangling you.” How dare she keep such a huge issue from her.
Shui Anluo blinked. “Empress Dowager, as the powerful mistress of the harem, you must grant me three feet of silk or drag me out for a chop. How can you say such degrading things like strangling someone?” Shui Anluo said with a smile. However, her mind was working. The Empress Dowager was angry so she has to come up with an explanation.
“First, tell your man that the mission has been accomplished.” Qiao Yaruan did not forget the reason for her phone call.
Shui Anluo pursed her lips. She looked up at the man who had sat next to her and softly said, “Empress Dowager says that she and the madman have accomplished the mission.”
Chu Ningyi raised his brow, indicating that he understood. He could now carry out the second step but he needs Mo Lusu’s help in this.
Chu Ningyi reached out and switched on the laptop on the table. After that, he began to look for something.
“Speak, why have you kept such a big issue from me? Didn’t you fall over on your own?” She had found it strange that Chu Ningyi refused to let Shui Anluo make any calls. She never thought that it had involved Lan Xin.
“I didn’t keep it from you, I just didn’t have the chance to tell you. Besides, Director Chu loudly proclaimed that he would handle this entirely. He wouldn’t let me touch it.” Shui Anluo spoke so innocently and pushed the entire matter onto Chu Ningyi.
Chu Ningyi looked up and stared coolly at her.
Shui Anluo used one hand and gestured pleadingly. If Qiao Yaruan ever found out about that phone call, she would squash her brain and scold her for being an idiot. In contrast, if Director Chu had been behind it, Qiao Yaruan would never dare to say anything about it.
Chu Ningyi put his laptop down, leaned over and pressed her down onto the sofa.
Shui Anluo hugged her phone and blinked, was she going to be thumped against the sofa again?
Shui Anluo mouthed a hint at Director Chu, ‘Calm down, I’m still on the phone!’
“Heh, so you now have a patron? Will you bring your man up at every turn?” Qiao Yaruan smiled icily.
“I have to, right? Haven’t you always been my patron, Empress Dowager?” Shui Anluo immediately had her lips nipped after her reply. Shui Anluo shot him an angry glare but Chu Ningyi only stared calmly back at her.
He did not want to be jealous of a woman!
“Keep acting, I won’t mind giving you a gunny sack so you can keep acting.” Qiao Yaruan smiled icily.
“Hehe…” Shui Anluo faked a laugh. She reached out and pushed Chu Ningyi away, making him get up. She then immediately turned around and lay in his lap. She placed her legs on the armrest of the sofa as she replied leisurely, “How’s Chen Qiantong? It was rather strange today and Xin Le had actually kept quiet.”
“Your man actually exposed all of Chen Qiantong’s past deeds. I don’t expect her to be able to stay in school for very much longer. Indeed, when Director Chu acts, everything will be confirmed. See how badly she’s bullied you in your second year? Now, your Director Chu has liberated you in one blow. What a lovely sight.”
Shui Anluo rolled her eyes. She just did not want to lower herself to Chen Qiantong’s level. Besides, Mother does not like her to be scheming.
