Chu Ningyi ate his meal slowly and deliberately as he asked, “And then?”

“Huh?” What did he mean by ‘and then’? Should he not have taken over from here?

“Do you think that she’s the one who tried to hurt you just because she still has feelings for me?” Chu Ningyi asked calmly as if he was only asserting a problem and did not carry any personal feelings for it.

Shui Anluo frowned. “Isn’t that enough? You don’t understand women. It’s just like Lin Qianchen. Didn’t she jump at the opportunity to accuse me of plagiarism just because of you? She had even bribed Shui Anjiao to kidnap me.”

Chu Ningyi nodded. “So this is all my fault?”

“Are you saying that it’s mine?” Shui Anluo poked her neck out and questioned.

Chu Ningyi stared at her little face as she stuck her neck out, and laughed instead. “Shouldn’t you feel honored? Look at what a good man you’ve chosen.”

Shui Anluo nearly twisted her little neck as she stared at Director Chu with an appalled look in her large eyes. Her meaning was clear to see, Director Chu, where was your dignity?

Chu Ningyi did not seem to be too concerned about the look in her eyes and continued to eat. However, he gave her an explanation, “If it really was her, I won’t spare her either.”

Shui Anluo looked up, she did not miss the frown in his brow.

Was she a cause of trouble for him?

Was that not the daughter of his benefactor?

Chu Ningyi had indeed frowned but not because he was feeling troubled. He just hoped that the culprit would not turn out to be Yuan Jiayi. After all, her father was a martyr. He did not want Yuan Jiayi to smear her father’s name who was also his mentor.

After lunch, the first thing that Chu Ningyi had done was to take Shui Anluo’s phone away. Shui Anluo thought darkly whether Director Chu was stupid? Her phone had fallen into the mud long ago.

Chu Ningyi only recalled this after he had taken it. He cleared his throat to drown his embarrassment.

“I’ll ask Uncle Chu to make a card and get a new phone for you,” Chu Ningyi said. He then deactivated the wireless network in their home and locked their fixed-line.

Shui Anluo blinked. She stood in the living room and stared in disbelief at Chu Ningyi as he switched off the WiFi and locked the phone.

“You, what’re you doing?” Shui Anluo stammered. He had cut off all her lines of communication.

“Don’t make any contact with the outside world for now, especially to Qiao Yaruan and Mo Lusu,” Chu Ningyi calmly said. Before Shui Anluo could object, he coldly cut her off, “No need to say anything, I’m only protecting you.”

‘Uh…’

Shui Anluo shut her mouth, what else could she say?

“Then I can’t read the news either in the next few days? I’ll suffocate to death. Besides, if you turn the WiFi off, Maid Yu can’t go online either, right?” Shui Anluo objected as she trailed behind Chu Ningyi who was now walking upstairs.

Chu Ningyi paused after taking two steps.

Maid Yu happened to overhear Shui Anluo’s objections after she had cleaned up and stepped out. She could not stop from lamenting internally. ‘Young Madam, are you stupid? Aren’t you clearly telling the Young Master that I have a phone too?’

Indeed, before Maid Yu could finish her lament, Chu Ningyi turned around and cut across Shui Anluo. He looked at Maid Yu and said, “Maid Yu, hand your phone over to me.”

Shui Anluo stared at Chu Ningyi as he reached out to Maid Yu. She blinked and returned to her senses, unable to restrain from howling in grief. Had she gone insane? Why did she have to remind Chu Ningyi that Maid Yu also has a phone?

This was great, she has lost her final means of communication.
