Shui Anluo just arrived at her front door when she heard voices making conversation. Who was Maid Yu talking to?

The little darling?

Shui Anluo was shaken, the little darling does not know how to talk. Besides, that was clearly a man’s voice.

Shui Anluo reached out to take her keys but realized that she had left her clutch at the hotel and could only collect it the next day. She had to knock on the door and Maid Yu opened the door for her.

The door opened and Shui Anluo leaned against the door and entered. She cried out, “Maid Yu, I…” Before Shui Anluo could finish, she was shocked by the person in front of her. “You, what are you doing here?”

“Oh my, my Young Miss, this is your mother’s stepson, your older brother,” Maid Yu chuckled and explained. She clearly already has a good impression of Luo Xuan.

“My older brother?” Shui Anluo eyed him as she closed the door. She was nearly frightened to death when Maid Yu screamed.

“My Young Miss, what happened to your foot?” Maid Yu gasped as she pulled Shui Anluo to a chair.

Shui Anluo did not respond to Maid Yu. Instead, her mind was processing this relationship. Her mother’s stepson which also meant that he was that handsome stepfather’s son.

No wonder his surname was also Luo. It was such a strange last name.

Luo Xuan faced Shui Anluo, cocked his head aside and said, “Tell me, how did you manage to get bullied so badly just by going to a party?”

“Who was bullied? I won’t lower myself to their level, okay?” Shui Anluo rolled her eyes, “Is my mom alright?”

“Auntie is quite alright. They’re both traveling around the world. It’s likely that neither of them remembers any of us.” Luo Xuan shrugged his shoulders.

Shui Anluo sighed. Indeed, her mother no longer wants her daughter now that she has a lover.

“What’re you doing here?” Shui Anluo asked without any trace of courtesy. “I’ve already thanked you for what happened that day.”

“Don’t you find us both rather pitiful for being abandoned?” Luo Xuan sat next to Shui Anluo and placed one hand on her shoulder. “You were abandoned by your mother, I was abandoned by my father…”

“My mother did not abandon me!” Shui Anluo snapped impatiently. She, who had been cast aside by two people who were most important to her at the same time, was now still very sensitive toward that word.

Luo Xuan felt shaken and watched as Shui Anluo got up and stomped back to her bedroom.

Maid Yu shook her head. “Young Master Luo, next time, don’t say things like that in front of the Young Miss. It’s her taboo.”

Luo Xuan stared at the tightly-shut room door but did not say a thing.

Not too long after Chu Ningyi had returned home, Uncle Chu brought Shui Anluo’s clutch back. Chu Ningyi accepted the clutch and asked Uncle Chu to leave.

However, before Chu Ningyi could open the clutch, Shui Anluo’s phone rang. Chu Ningyi raised his brow and took it out. It was an anonymous number. After some thought, Chu Ningyi accepted the call.

“Shui Anluo, let this day be a warning to you, keep your hands away from someone else’s man.”

A woman’s feminine voice came from the receiver. Unfortunately, the call was ended very quickly.

Chu Ningyi frowned and looked at the number on the phone.

‘A threat?’

Chu Ningyi smirked. ‘Threatening my woman?’

He would love to see who has such an ability.

“Director Qiao’s seventieth birthday…”

This was the common topic that Qiao Yaruan and Shui Anluo heard once they arrived at the hospital.

“Also, I’ve heard that Director Qiao’s last disciple from a foreign country is coming back today. I wonder if we’ll get to see her?”

“You mean Senior Sister Lan Xin? I’d love to meet her, she’s so beautiful and her medical skills are great too.”

A nurse passing by exclaimed excitedly.

‘Senior Sister Lan Xin?’

The pair looked at each other, where had this person come from now?
