Chapter 603: I’m Sorry

Chu Ningyi turned to the woman who had covered her mouth as she lay on the bed and petted her head. “There’s no fever, you can go home and rest in the afternoon.”

Shui Anluo’s large eyes whirled round and round. ‘Does this mean that they’ve reconciled?’[1]

She had not done anything and they had reconciled just like that.

“There’s really no sense of achievement, I feel like I didn’t even do anything much.[2]” Shui Anluo lay on the bed and mused, bored.

“What more do you want to do? Continue the ruckus? Or would you like me to do a flying kick this time?” Chu Ningyi asked as he bent down slightly and stared at the unsatisfied little girl.

“But you’ve never apologized. It was your fault this time.” Shui Anluo stared at the man who was inching closer to her and slowly covered half her face with her blanket.

“It was my fault?” Chu Ningyi raised his brow.

“It was. If all our feelings need to be tested and second-guessed, why should we even talk about feelings in the first place? You might as well take up psychology and solve it all,” Shui Anluo explained. Her voice was muffled as her mouth was under the covers.

Chu Ningyi tapped her forehead with his. “But you’ve guessed it correctly and you still met him.”

At the mention of this, Shui Anluo sat up and decided to talk this over with Chu Ningyi. She had initially wanted to tackle the subject but had been interrupted by her senior brother.

“Ow…” Shui Anluo accidentally moved her foot when she got up and cried out in pain.

Chu Ningyi reached out to support her. “Slowly,” he said with a frown.

Shui Anluo endured the bout of pain. She waited for it to alleviate before she said, “Chu Ningyi, I must explain this to you very clearly. I had gone back to the university that day to see the Empress Dowager and I never expected to run into Senior Brother there. When you saw us, we had just run into each other. Before that, I was with Empress Dowager the whole time. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.” Shui Anluo blabbered on and refused to give Chu Ningyi the chance to speak. She finally looked at Chu Ningyi after she had explained everything. “That’s all I have to say.”

Chu Ningyi listened to her every word seriously. The smile on his face became hard to conceal as she continued her explanation.

They had run into each other by accident.

That also meant that she had never intended to meet Mo Lusu. He was very satisfied with this answer.[3]

Shui Anluo stared at the man who was smiling handsomely after she had finished speaking. ‘Why is he not saying anything?’

“Brother Chu?” Shui Anluo called out in a soft voice.

Chu Ningyi looked down at the innocent little girl and suddenly pulled her into his arms.

Shui Anluo was even more confused. She had nowhere to put her hands.

“I’m sorry.”

Two softly spoken words rang out in a deep, elegant voice.

Shui Anluo looked as though those two words had gone right through her. Her hand was frozen, suspended in midair. ‘What did I just hear?’

‘Is he apologizing to me?’

Chu Ningyi’s apology. This man, who was favored by the heavens, had always issued orders. People would follow his every word without question and each decision he made was always the right one.

No one in this city would ever accuse him of being wrong; no one in this world had the nerve to make him apologize.

However, he had said those two words today so clearly. It was so powerful and moving.

Shui Anluo slowly placed her hand on his back. They were not good at fighting. Besides, she had not wanted much, just an apology was enough.

Shui Anluo leaned gently on his shoulder, took a deep breath and gently replied, “I forgive you.”

[1] After all his psychopathic manipulations, this is reconciliation…. Seriously? *rolls eyes to the back of my head, all the way to Jupiter*

[2] He. Emotionally. Abused. You. HE SHOULD BE DOING MORE THAN CUTTING FREAKING DRAGON FRUIT. WHY SHOULD YOU BE DOING ANYTHING? HE WAS THE ASSH*LE.

[3] God. Egotistical prick.
