Chapter 320: You’re Still A Young Maiden?

The little darling reached out his little paws to grab the items as he babbled and insisted on playing with them.
Shui Anluo grabbed his little paws, these were not for playing. What if he breaks them? Both of them would not be able to reimburse them even if they were pawned here.
“Ah, ah…” The little darling struggled unhappily as he held his paws out. He had not even touched those shiny things.
Icy Chu raised his brows and picked the little darling up. He placed him on the counter and the little darling crouched down, using his meaty little hands to sweep the emeralds away.
Shui Anluo placed one palm on her face and watched as her prodigal son swatted the emeralds onto the ground one by one. It was a good thing those were of good quality so they do not shatter easily.
Once the little darling finished sweeping, all that was left was a delicate and exquisite emerald jade. The jade was smalled than a palm and glittered enticingly. It looked particularly beautiful beneath the special lights.
Chu Ningyi reached out to pick up the little jade and looked at the little darling. “This one?”
“Ah pu…” The little darling smiled at his daddy.
“Alright.” Chu Ningyi nodded and gave the jade to the salesperson. “Wrap this up.”
Shui Anluo’s lips twitched, was this a special kind of communication between father and son?
Her son certainly had a unique style when choosing things. He would throw away what he did not like. This prodigal child, ever since he was by his father’s side, he had been prodigal to the end1.
After choosing the present, Chu Ningyi got Shui Anluo to take it and carried the little darling as he left.
Shui Anluo could see the viciousness hidden in the salesperson’s smile because she would have to clean this mess in a while. However, because this was her big boss, she did not dare say a thing.
Now that the present has been chosen, Chu Ningyi brought them to the Chu family’s old residence straightaway.
Ever since she had been conned by Chu Ningyi into coming here, she had never returned.
The old residence was more lively than usual. The Chu family was considered to be one of the elite families of ‘A’ City. Even though this was considered a family dinner, the number of people who had arrived was no small amount.
Shui Anluo felt a little repulsed. Aside from the fact that she was the little darling’s mother, she has no relation to the Chu family now.
After he got down from the car, Chu Ningyi turned around to look at Shui Anluo who had remained in the vehicle. He looked at the time. “There’s still time for you to leave but if the little darling is unable to find you and ends up crying, what will you do?” Chu Ningyi threatened calmly.
“You…” Shui Anluo looked up and angrily opened the door. She had already gone with him to buy the present anyway, why would she be afraid of making rounds with him inside?
Shui Anluo thought secretly and immediately flung the car door shut.
Chu Ningyi smirked. When Shui Anluo approached he handed the babbling little darling over to her and wrapped one arm around her waist.
“Hey, Director Chu, have some dignity, we have no relationship,” Shui Anluo scoffed coldly.
Chu Ningyi raised his brow and murmured into her ear, “Are we not the parents of the child?”
His words were too seductive and his breath was much too hot.
Shui Anluo shivered, wanting to distance herself from where his breath had dispersed but did not want him to follow him like a shadow.
“Director Chu, are you teasing a young maiden from a good family?” Shui Anluo scoffed icily.
“Young maiden?” Chu Ningyi repeated and looked profoundly down at his gurgling son. The meaning of it was obviously to ask if she was still a young maiden.
“Ningyi?”
Before Shui Anluo could retaliate, a surprised yet familiar sounding voice called out from behind them.Comment (1)nikkiharley

Chu Ningyi and Shui Anluo whirled around at the same time and found Lan Xin who had just gotten out of the car.
Lan Xin was dressed in a white gown with a small, simple shawl draped over her shoulders, likely because it was nearing autumn. Her long hair extended to her shoulders as a large pair of sunglasses covered her entire face.
However, when she saw the pair, Lan Xin slammed the car door shut, pulled off her glasses and walked towards them. “Luoluo, you’re here too, what a coincidence.” Lan Xin smiled.
The smell of antiseptic…
Chu Ningyi slowly looked up and stared at the woman who has just appeared in front of him.
Mixed-blood, the smell of antiseptic…
“Lan Xin, long time no see. When did you get back?” Chu Ningyi greeted emotionlessly.
Lan Xin stopped next to them. When she saw the little darling, she was instantly shocked but she only smiled and replied when she heard Chu Ningyi’s question. “I flew in this morning. I had rushed to the hospital immediately after I got off the plane.”
The morning flight?
A deep glint flashed across Chu Ningyi’s eyes. He then looked at Shui Anluo. “Do you know each other?”
Shui Anluo was still in shock over Lan Xin’s appearance. Lan Xin was attending the director’s seventieth birthday party and Chu Ningyi had also mentioned his grandmother’s seventieth birthday party.
This means that the director was also Chu Ningyi’s grandmother!
This realization was a little difficult for her to accept at the moment.
Why had he not said a thing when she had a dispute with Lin Qianchen?
“Luoluo? Luoluo?”
Lan Xin called out softly.
Shui Anluo immediately returned to her senses and looked at Lan Xin with a disoriented look in her eyes.
Chu Ningyi naturally knew what she was thinking. He had planned to reveal the old lady’s identity after she had accepted her but now, he suddenly could not bear to have the old lady torment her.
Because his heart would ache!
Shui Anluo remembered Chu Ningyi’s question, shook for a bit then replied, “Mm, we know each other, we met at the hospital this morning.” Shui Anluo had emphasized the word ‘hospital’ on purpose as if reminding Chu Ningyi of something.
Chu Ningyi cleared his throat. Naturally, he knew what she meant.
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, you’ve heard her name before,” Chu Ningyi calmly remarked.
Lan Xin stared at them curiously. “You’ve mentioned my name?”
Shui Anluo was also curious. She had never heard of Lan Xin’s existence before this day.
“Let’s talk inside instead of standing around at the door.” Chu Ningyi suggested and held Shui Anluo to leave a space so the other guests could walk in.
“Ya yi…” The little darling agreed with what his daddy had said. He did not like standing here.
Lan Xin smiled and walked inside without objection.
However, after Lan Xin had walked in, Shui Anluo was quickly pulled back by Chu Ningyi just as she was about to take a step. She then watched as Chu Ningyi called Uncle Chu.
“Uncle Chu, check something for me. Find out when Lan Xin had come back to the country and what time her return flight was,” Chu Ningyi instructed seriously. Lan Xin matched two of the characteristics that had been described by that woman. The only one that did not match was that she was not in ‘A’ City yesterday.
Shui Anluo felt even more curious, unsure of what he was doing.
Shui Anluo frowned and asked once Chu Ningyi had ended the call, “Why didn’t you tell me that she was your grandmother?” This made her feel as if she had been lied to.
Chu Ningyi put his phone away, raised his brow and escorted her inside. “I’ll explain this to you when we get home.”
