An Fengyang watched as a dejected-looking Shui Anluo walked up the stairs. The mockery on his face intensified as he asked, “Why have you suddenly thought about bringing the prey back? Has that woman, An Jiahui, decided to make a move?” He turned to sit on the sofa before reaching out his hand to turn on the television.
An Jiahui was Shui Anjiao’s biological mother.
Chu Ningyi walked off to pour himself some water and looked at An Fengyang as he leaned against the kitchen door. “You should be worried about yourself. You’d be the first recipient of An Jiahui’s revenge after the public announcement of your sexual orientation.”
An Fengyang fiddled with the remote control in his hand but there was no trace of fear in his seductive eyes at all.
“I’m more excited for the day when Shui Moyun loses the family fortune.” An Fengyang curled his lips and his voice was icy as he continued, “However, I’m really curious, why have you chosen to protect Xiao Luoluo?”
Chu Ningyi’s hand which was holding the cup trembled, causing a ripple in the water. “Protect?” He laughed coldly. However, he did not give an answer to that.
Shui Anluo was in the room on the second floor and was curious over their conversation. Before her little darling woke up, she tiptoed and opened the door. She then walked out, fully intending on eavesdropping on their conversation.
‘If I’m lucky enough, perhaps I might even manage to see them… Hehehe’ Shui Anluo thought wickedly. A smile equivalent to an evil demon’s appeared on the corners of her lips. She even came prepared with her phone. If she could snap a picture, she might end up gaining a windfall.
However, when Shui Anluo went out, the only person left in the living room was Chu Ningyi who was standing at the kitchen door. Shui Anluo blinked and straightened up. Where was the other one?
“Shui Anluo, do you enjoy eavesdropping on the other’s conversation so much?” Chu Ningyi laughed coldly.
Shui Anluo detected the disdain and contempt in his voice but she did not care at all because Chu Ningyi was already dead in her heart.
Shui Anluo pursed her lips. “What a pity, I wanted to get some material to sell for some money.”
Chu Ningyi knitted his brows. He put his cup down before slowly ascending the stairs.
Shui Anluo’s eyes opened wide as she gulped and slowly backed away. She had just turned around when he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pressed her up against the wall.
“An exposé?” Chu Ningyi whispered into her ear in a voice tinged with evil charm. His other hand slowly traced along her wrist before he grabbed the phone in the palm of her hand and cleverly moved it into his hand. Just as Shui Anluo was dazed with confusion, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
His right hand which was raised up high opened the selfie mode in the phone.
In that one kiss, time stood still. In a flash, memories washed over.
Not a sound could be heard except for Shui Anluo’s erratically racing heart.
Thump… Thump…
Ding dong…
The doorbell rang and Shui Anluo suddenly returned to her senses and pushed him away just as he was about to intrude. She forcefully wiped her lips and her eyes filled with hatred. She wished that she could burn him into ashes just like that.
Ding dong…
The doorbell continued to ring. Chu Ningyi looked at her glare which was utterly harmless to him. He then curled his lips and confiscated her phone before he went downstairs to open the door.
As Chu Ningyi was heading down the stairs, Shui Anluo kicked at his shadow. She then tightly pursed her lips, hating him for kissing her.
Chu Ningyi promptly opened the door when he reached the lower floor. He then knitted his brows when he saw the person outside and asked, “Who let you in here?”
He had not asked ‘why are you here?’ but ‘who let you in here?’ instead. One could tell how much Chu Ningyi detested the guest.
