Shui Anluo’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt. She turned to look at Chu Ningyi in disbelief as if she never thought he would resort to such an underhanded tactic to threaten her.

‘Besides, it’s only one meeting. Would he lose that much money?’

“I say, Chu Ningyi, are you enjoying this? Bullying a little maiden like me,” Shui Anluo angrily retorted.

“If you have to time to make idle chatter with me, send the documents over.” Chu Ningyi’s frown deepened.

Shui Anluo looked at Chu Ningyi up and down as if she was checking to see if he was serious in asking her to pass the documents for him. When she saw his frown, Shui Anluo felt that this master probably had no idea that there was such a thing as email in this world.

Shui Anluo snatched his computer over, radiating an ‘if you don’t know then I’m kind enough to teach you’ vibe before casually finding his inbox.

“Let me tell you…”

Shui Anluo was speaking but when she turned around, her lips happened to brush across Chu Ningyi’s cheek.

Shui Anluo’s words became stuck at that moment as her large eyes fixed squarely upon Chu Ningyi’s face. She could not hear anything else aside from her own heartbeat.

Shui Anluo wanted to back away but Chu Ningyi wrapped his arms around her waist. He was neither forceful nor gentle and happened to cause Shui Anluo’s lips to land on his cheek again.

“What was Mo Lusu doing here?” Chu Ningyi whispered into her ear. However, his seemingly calm intonation held undertones of unrestrained fury.

Shui Anluo’s legs gave way. He was clearly the one with the broken leg here but why does she now feel as though she was the one who had injured her leg instead?

Shui Anluo pushed against his chest and tried to get up but the large hand on her waist held her down firmly.

“How’s it any of your business what my senior brother is here to do? Director Chu!” Shui Anluo replied in a sassy manner.

Chu Ningyi narrowed his eyes and pulled her close to him again. “Shui Anluo, don’t forget that you’re my former wife and the mother of my child.”

“Director Chu, an ex-wife isn’t your wife. The mother of your child has the right to find a stepfather for the child.” Shui Anluo chuckled and forced Chu Ningyi’s arm away. She was in a very bad mood today. After being played by Lin Qianchen, she now suspected that Lin Qianchen was also the person who had deleted her missed call and text message yesterday.

Previously, Shui Anluo had not had a good impression of Lin Qianchen but since she was different from her aunt and cousin, she had not disliked her either. Now, it seemed that she had regarded Lin Qianchen to highly.

Shui Anluo thought for a moment before she looked at Chu Ningyi again. “Didn’t you have an appointment with Lin Qianchen last night?”

Chu Ningyi was irritated by being swatted away so his eyes filled with annoyance when he looked at Shui Anluo.

Shui Anluo was unafraid of him.

“Yes, it was her birthday yesterday.”

Shui Anluo nodded in understanding and took the USB drive on his table. “Alright, I’ll send this off for you.”

Chu Ningyi gently tapped his fingers on the table. This version of Shui Anluo did not seem like one that he could hold on to.

However, as long as he wants to catch her, those words were as good as non-existent.

Shui Anluo looked at the USB drive in her hand after she left Chu Ningyi’s room. Perhaps she would need to interrogate Lin Qianchen to clarify the matter before sending this off.

Shui Anluo was just about to look for Lin Qianchen when Lin Qianchen herself came over.

“Luoluo, please don’t take today’s matter to heart, it was my fault for not giving you clear instructions,” said Lin Qianchen exasperatedly.

“It wasn’t the fact that you had not provided clear instructions. Instead, you never intended to say anything at all, right?” Shui Anluo curled her lips into a cynical smile.
