Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I don’t want my mother to leave.” Shui Anluo tugged Long Manyin’s hand as she stared at Luo Yun like a little hedgehog. She said pitifully, “Mother, he looks like Chu Ningyi, he’s not a reasonable person at all.”
Chu Ningyi felt unjustly attacked and could not stop himself from cursing Shui Anluo internally. How was this fifty-year-old man similar to him in any way? He only looks youthful.
Indeed, Luo Yun’s age was not a secret in the business world. He was actually a little older than Shui Moyun.
Luo Yun’s face was filled with black lines as he stared at Shui Anluo. However, he reminded himself that she was Long Manyin’s daughter so he could not get angry. Otherwise, he would have snapped her neck by now.
“Luoluo, didn’t you say that you’d support my second romance?” Long Manyin stared humorously at her willful daughter.
“But he looks like a gigolo, a man like that is unreliable.” Shui Anluo finished speaking and noticed that the man was glaring at her. She quickly hid behind Long Manyin as she continued to speak. “See, he’s so fierce, he must be a stepfather who bullies his stepdaughter.”
‘A gigolo?’
Chu Ningyi admitted that he had laughed carelessly. This was probably the first time in a long while that someone had called Luo Yun a gigolo to his face.
Indeed, Luo Yun’s expression has turned increasingly ugly. The way he glared at Shui Anluo described how much he wanted to choke her to death.
Long Manyin looked at Luo Yun and he quickly put the gloominess on his face away to stare outside instead.
“But Luoluo, what if I like him?” Long Manyin stared at Shui Anluo as she asked seriously.
“You still don’t have to leave.” Shui Anluo was filled with grief. She has never opposed her mother’s intention of finding a second love but this man actually wanted to take her mother away.
“Or you can come with your mother.” They had a little girl at home but it was not like they would be unable to care for another daughter.
“Luoluo can’t leave.” Chu Ningyi saw that he was being backed into a corner and felt that he could not stay silent anymore. Therefore, he immediately spoke up.
Shui Anluo looked at Chu Ningyi. She had never expected him to say anything. After all, there was nothing between them now.
However, what does he mean when he said that she could not leave?
“Luoluo, would you like to come with me?” Long Manyin’s heart was a little moved. Shui Moyun was the main reason why she had left Shui Anluo here. As she did not dare to leave her daughter in Shui Moyun’s care entirely, she had chosen Chu Ningyi as her guardian. However, if her daughter was willing to come with her, she felt that she could be selfish for once and bring her daughter along as well.
Chu Ningyi’s frown deepened. He headed over and placed a hand on Shui Anluo’s shoulder as he calmly said, “Uncle Shui hasn’t woken up yet. I believe that the first person he’d like to see is you, Luoluo.”
These words were clearly directed at Long Manyin but were also aimed at Shui Anluo as well. She still has a father who had lost everything.
When Shui Anluo heard about her father, she began to struggle internally.
Luo Yun stared intently at Chu Ningyi. He was no stranger to Chu Ningyi either and understood the man very well. Since Chu Ningyi had said this, it proved that he would not allow Shui Anluo to leave.
What does it imply when a man puts so much effort to keep a woman by his side?
He believed that even if he did not mention it, Long Manyin would understand as well.
Shui Anluo was at a loss. One was her father and the other was her mother. Should she stay or leave?
However, deep down, Shui Anluo had another person whom she could not let go — Chu Ningyi!
