Was the little darling fishing for sympathy because they had neglected him?
Chu Ningyi stroked the baby’s little head. The little darling continued to cry as he blinked his teary eyes at his daddy.
When the little darling finally stopped crying, he babbled and cooed incoherently as he waved his little arms around. However, neither his mommy or his daddy could leave. If one of them tried to leave, he would burst into tears again.
“Let’s talk.” Just as Shui Anluo felt like leaving, Chu Ningyi sat next to her and reached out to grab her wrist.
“There’s nothing to talk about.” Shui Anluo swatted his hand away and moved aside.
However, Chu Ningyi did not let go and continued to hold her wrist.
“When I told you that I’ve never been in love, I was telling the truth.”
“Then what about Yuan Jiayi?” Shui Anluo asked through gritted teeth. Logically speaking, Yuan Jiayi had been with him before her. She has no right to be concerned but Chu Ningyi was now saying that he had never loved Yuan Jiayi.
“Yuan Jiayi…”
“Don’t deny it, you were so cold to me when we were married.” Before Chu Ningyi could continue, Shui Anluo hurriedly cut him off.
Shui Anluo had prevented Chu Ningyi from saying what he had wanted to say. He pondered for a bit before saying, “Luoluo, at that time, it was true that I had no intention of getting married but that has nothing to do with Yuan Jiayi. It was because…”
Shui Anluo waited for him to speak but Chu Ningyi gave her a look that seemed to convey that he was struggling to say it.
“Forget it. All I can tell you is that the matter has nothing to do with Yuan Jiayi.” Chu Ningyi reached out and pulled the little darling into his arms.
Shui Anluo looked down, unsure if she was feeling frustrated or not.
“If we never had the little darling, perhaps you would never have thought about someone named Shui Anluo in this world.” Shui Anluo spoke in self-mockery.
Chu Ningyi lowered his eyelids and did not object.
If the little darling had never existed, perhaps he would never have looked for her again. However, he may have developed feelings for her at the start because of the little darling but he would not have given himself grief over the little darling and do something that was beneath his dignity.
“Forget it, you don’t have to answer me, I know the answer.” Shui Anluo said and got up to go to the kitchen.
“Ya…” The little darling shook as he watched his mommy get up. He twisted his little body around, wanting to follow her.
Chu Ningyi got up and carried the little darling as they followed Shui Anluo to the back and into the kitchen. He noticed that Shui Anluo has this bad habit; no matter what the question was, she would not wait for the other person to finish answering the question before cutting them off. She always acts as if she already has the answer and it was not a good one too. What was she afraid of?
Shui Anluo started preparing food as Chu Ningyi stood at the doorway with the little darling and watched her.
Shui Anluo was feeling inferior but the reason behind that sense of inferiority could be traced back to that incident from a year ago.
It had been caused by both Shui Moyun and him.
The little darling was looking down and playing with his tiny paws in his daddy’s arms. He would look up and smile foolishly at his dad from time to time.
“Shui Anluo, you can’t shut yourself inside your shell all the time,” said Chu Ningyi in a somber tone.
Shui Anluo paused and looked back at Chu Ningyi. “Director Chu, how I choose to live is my business. The only thing you need to worry about, Director Chu, is the little darling and not me.”
When Chu Ningyi heard what Shui Anluo said, he knew that her spikes were beginning to come out again though it was a completely unnecessary move to him.
