Chu Ningyi suddenly called out to Shui Anluo just as she was leaving.

When Shui Anluo heard that voice, she felt as if she had just heard someone from hell summon her. She shuddered as she hastened her steps.

“Let’s go, hurry.” Shui Anluo’s heart was howling in grief. She never thought that he would come to look for her.

“Eh, he seems to be calling out to you. Isn’t that the director of the Chu Group?” Qiao Yaruan turned around to look. She had a very good memory for handsome men.

“Shui Anluo.”

The voice was still bleak and indifferent but anyone who knew him well understood that this was the tone Director Chu usually used before he flipped out with rage. He had given Shui Anluo too much preferential treatment by staying away from her over the last few days of her exam period.

Shui Anluo paused abruptly. She knew that if she took one more step, that man would certainly take further action.

She turned around and stared at Chu Ningyi with a smile while he leaned against the car. “Ah, isn’t that Director Chu? What a coincidence.”

Once Shui Anluo was done smiling, the person next to her looked at her. The look in that woman’s eye collectively conveyed one sentence, ‘Go on, keep on pretending. I’ll give you a gunny sack so you can keep up with your pretense’.

Chu Ningyi rose to his feet and slowly walked toward her.

Shui Anluo’s heart skipped as fast as lightning. The urge to escape grew even more obvious in her feet as she looked at the figure who was slowly approaching her.

No matter how far apart they were, Chu Ningyi still ended up standing next to Shui Anluo in just a short moment.

“So, what have you decided to do?” Chu Ningyi did not bother with idle chit-chat and immediately raised this question. He only wanted one answer.

‘Huh? Have I agreed to consider anything?’ She wondered

“It seems that I need to be the one to make the decision,” Chu Ningyi replied coldly. He then lowered his head to look at Shui Anluo before reaching out to grab her wrist. “Shui Anluo, if you enjoy having extramarital affairs, you’ll need to be married before making those claims”

Those words had endless contempt weaved into them.

Shui Anluo bit her red lips and stubbornly looked him in the eye. “Director Chu, the road to marriage is bumpy. Haven’t you already been trapped once? Why are you trying to fall into the trap a second time?”

“Since I’ve already jumped into it once, what’s wrong with jumping into it again?” Chu Ningyi’s voice grew increasingly icy as his grip on her wrist tightened. “What were you thinking when you were giving birth back then?”

Shui Anluo listened to his indifferent tone and could not guess the meaning behind his words. Was he implying that she wanted to use this child to catch him again or was it really as straightforward as it seemed, devoid of any deeper meaning?

“What was I thinking? That I wanted to leave proof of an extramarital affair,” Shui Anluo replied with a grin.

“Say those words again, try it.” He did not know why but each time he heard those words, Chu Ningyi would feel extremely annoyed. Perhaps, it was because those words represented the scorn she felt for him.

Shui Anluo was shaken. Her wrist was stinging in pain from his grip. The spectators around them were increasing and Shui Anluo did not wish to become an internet sensation. She growled softly, “Director Chu, let me go.”

“Shui Anluo, there are some things that I don’t intend to repeat twice. If I still don’t see you and that child in the apartment tomorrow… You’ll know the consequences.” Chu Ningyi finished his speech and released her hand. He then straightened his sleeve and looked at the indignant expression on her face but suddenly, he felt his mood improve.

After Chu Ningyi left, the crowd who seemed as if they had been struck by lightning finally returned to their senses.

“Oh my god, that was Chu Ningyi, right? Right? Right?!”

“No, no, what were they just talking about?

The girls around them chimed in excitement.

Even the usually rational Qiao Yaruan was shocked. “So he’s the father of the baby.” That little darling’s cleverness made sense now.
