n“What’re you blabbering on about? Get up, now,” said Long Manyin. She then stood up to carry the little baby from his cot.

nShui Anluo got up while still scratching her head. She stared at her mother who was cooing at her son and felt that it was impossible. How could her own mother possibly betray her?

nShui Anluo washed her face and rinsed her mouth. Chu Ningyi’s personnel were already waiting for her downstairs. Though Shui Anluo might not like this, she had no other choice.

nFirstly, she could not challenge Chu Ningyi head-on. Secondly, she had been sold out by her own mother.

nHer biological mother. She was definitely her biological mother.

nLong Manyin watched Shui Anluo as she disappeared from sight. The smile on her face gradually fell, settling into a serious expression.

n“Director, the Madam has left her home.”

nAn assistant spoke softly to the Director on the top floor of the Chu Group’s building.

nChu Ningyi pressed his hands on the banister as he stared at the panoramic view of ‘A’ City. How long had it been since anyone said the word ‘Madam’ in his presence?

nThat word had once represented Shui Anluo.

n“Former Madam.”

nChu Ningyi corrected his assistant indifferently before he turned around and left the office.

nShui Anluo was delivered to Chu Ningyi’s condominium. The personnel had left after opening the door and left Shui Anluo to forcefully wave her hand at them. However, she could not really land a blow.

nShui Anluo turned back to look at this familiar yet strange place. The wedding portrait on the wall had been changed long ago but she could still remember how excited her mother-in-law was at the time.

nShui Anluo lowered her head to look at her son who was looking around with his large eyes.

n“It’s strange, isn’t it?” Everything around her felt strange to her.

n“Yabu…”

n“Don’t ‘ya’, you silly, ignorant little thing,” said Shui Anluo as she carried her son into the guest room on the second floor. The bedroom was no longer hers.

nShui Anluo was showing her son around to familiarize him with this strange terrain when the door opened. She left the guest room and stood at the flight of steps to look at the man who had just walked in. His face was as icy as ever.

nShui Anluo could not help but feel her stomach churn. If he did not like her, he should not have made her come here. What was the meaning of him showing her a stepfather’s face?

nChu Ningyi put his keys down and slowly walked up the stairs. “Where’s the child?”

nShui Anluo automatically stepped away and watched him go up.

n“Chu Ningyi, let’s be frank, are you really doing this for the child?” Shui Anluo leaned against the banister and crossed her arms as she stared at Chu Ningyi. At this moment, she did not seem like a twenty-one-year-old woman at all.

nChu Ningyi turned back and hid the sharp look in his eyes as he replied, “What else is there? I won’t allow my child to stay outside the family home.” He then concluded by himself where the child was and walked into the guest room straight away.

nShui Anluo stroked her chin as she watched Chu Ningyi enter the guest room.

nWhen he walked in, the little baby was waving its little hands and kicking its tiny legs, playing all on his own. His small hands were always balled into tiny fists and he would always put them into his mouth to chew on them.

nChu Ningyi lowered his head and watched the little baby play. This little thing was more shocking to him than what he had seen in the photos. This little thing was his son whose body held his blood. This was almost inconceivable to him.

nChu Ningyi reached out. He could cover the baby’s entire little head with one hand and the child was so small that Chu Ningyi felt as if he could have held him with only one hand.

n“Hey, what are you doing?” Shui Anluo acted as if she was frightened and quickly ran over to snatch the little darling into her arms. She stumbled backward and stared at the man whose hand was still suspended midair. Oddly enough, Chu Ningyi’s action made her feel as if he had wanted to strangle the little baby instead.

nChu Ningyi stared at the defensive look on Shui Anluo’s face and laughed coldly. “Shui Anluo, what are YOU doing?”
