nShui Anluo pursed her lips but she ultimately kept quiet.

nChu Ningyi drove back home. Just as he walked in, his son stretched his little arms out and hugged his leg. He looked down at his son who had opened his little lips into a smile at him. He bent down and picked the baby up from his walker before taking the book that Maid Yu had handed to him.

n

n

nIt was the notebook that Shui Anluo had brought back previously. He did not know where the cleaning lady had kept it because the cover was dirty and smudged but that did not hinder him from reading it.

n“The property manager had sent this over. Take a look, Young Master, do you want to give it to the Young Madam?”

n“No need, it’s time to give this back to its original owner,” Chu Ningyi smirked as he replied calmly.

nMaid Yu stared at Chu Ningyi curiously, unsure of what he was thinking.

n

n

nChu Ningyi rolled the notebook up twice and handed the little darling to Maid Yu. “Make a few extra portions for dinner tonight. Old Third and the rest are coming over,” Chu Ningyi said and turned around to leave.

nThe little darling reached out and stared at the person who just left. ‘Daddy had just come back, why has he disappeared again?’

nIn the silent hotel, the windchimes would tinkle from time to time, disturbing the peace.

nShui Anluo held her chopsticks and ate her meal with a lowered head. She was still wondering how to speak up.

n

n

n“Luoluo, that tutoring job that you’d mentioned previously…”

n“Senior Brother, can I talk first?” Shui Anluo suddenly looked up at the gracious and refined man, tightening her resolve.

n“Senior Brother, please don’t waste any more time or feelings on me,” Shui Anluo said bluntly and went straight to the point. “I’m not a good person and I’m not worth having you do anything for me.”

nMo Lusu tightened his grip around his chopsticks. If she had not said anything, perhaps he could still quietly love her. However, now that she has brought it up, loving her has become something that was mo longer allowed.

n“Luoluo, were things not good between us in the past?” Mo Lusu asked hoarsely, clearly helpless.

nShui Anluo gently put the chopsticks in her hand down before she picked up the cup next to her. “Senior Brother, Chu Ningyi was right, running away doesn’t solve anything. I always thought that as long as I don’t say anything, we can always be friends. However, if I don’t say anything, our ambiguity would give you hope so I’d prefer to make things clear.”

nThe tips of Mo Lusu’s fingers trembled. He lowered his eyelids as an endless sorrow flashed across his eyes.

n“Chu Ningyi?” He lowered his voice. “Is he really that important to you? So important that you don’t want to be friends with me anymore?”

nShui Anluo took a deep breath. When she heard the last part of Mo Lusu’s words, she knew that it was not possible for them to be friends anymore.

n“But what if your feelings for me is a form of disaster to me?” Shui Anluo asked in a small voice. Lan Xin was attacking her most likely because of Mo Lusu. She did not mean to blame Mo Lusu but she still feels aggrieved.

nIt was not her fault in the first place but she had unwittingly invited calamity.

n“What?” Mo Lusu looked up as if he did not hear what she had just said.

nShui Anluo looked up and shook her head at him. “It’s nothing, I just hope that you can understand and not waste any more feelings on me because there’s no sense in that.”

nShui Anluo said these words with such resolve yet she endured the sour feeling in her heart. In her circle of friends, there was only her senior brother aside from Qiao Yaruan. Now, she has to personally push her senior brother away because this was the only way that was best for him.

nMo Lusu pressed his hands on the table and slowly rose to his feet.

n“May I know how am I inferior to him?”
