nShui Anluo asked Qiao Yaruan to head home first after they returned to the hospital. Otherwise, she would get locked out of the dormitory.

nQiao Yaruan sat on the side of the bed and reached out to take an apple on the table. She wiped it carelessly before she bit into it. “By the time I arrive at the university, it’ll be locked alright. This VIP ward of yours is no worse than the place I live in.”

nShui Anluo rolled her eyes but tragically, she could only lie on the bed and sleep.

n“Hey, how’re things between you and the madman?” Shui Anluo lay on the bed and watched as Qiao Yaruan left to wash her hands after eating the apple.

n“What does he have to do with me? I don’t think this guy has ever appeared in my life,” Qiao Yaruan said as she hinted for Shui Anluo to scoot over after she stepped out from the washroom. She lay on the bed and asked, “Want me to get some painkillers for you?”

n“No need, it doesn’t hurt that much now. I just took them this afternoon.” Shui Anluo used her hand to prop her chin up as she stared at Qiao Yaruan who was lying on the bed with her eyes shut. “Is there really nothing between you two?”

n“Nothing, nothing, why are you being such a busybody now? Sleep.” Qiao Yaruan scoffed as she shut her eyes and went to sleep.

nShui Anluo lay down properly again and placed her hands under her face. She could not help but sigh mentally. It really looks like there was nothing between them at all.

nMo Lusu’s slim figure was reflected on the peaceful surface of the lake.

nChu Ningyi walked confidently to his side with his hands behind his back and stared at the reflection of the moon.

n“You always make me look at you with new respect.” Mo Lusu mocked. “Is there any situation that you can’t make use of in this world?” He was referring to how Chu Ningyi had used Lan Xin’s incident to solve Soaring Distance Technologies’ financial problem.

n“I don’t think that I had done anything wrong, this is just an added benefit.” Chu Ningyi slowly replied.

nMo Lusu clenched and unclenched his fists beside him. He then looked at Chu Ningyi. He had never paid too much attention to Chu Ningyi because it had not been allowed by his family. He only knew that this cousin of his was swift, vicious, and accurate when he dealt with his matters. This was the first time he had witnessed him doing something so clearly.

n“Does everyone in the Chu family do things that way? Just like her?” Mo Lusu asked through gritted teeth.

nChu Ningyi turned away and looked at him. “Have you decided to face it now?”

nMo Lusu’s tense body was like a bow that could snap at any time. He did not reply.

nChu Ningyi looked down and pulled his card from his pocket. After some thought, he wrote a row of numbers and an address on it and handed it to Mo Lusu. He kept his pen and said, “If you want answers, this person can give them to you. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.”

nMo Lusu looked down sluggishly. He did not accept it.

nChu Ningyi did not put his hand away either.

nThe atmosphere instantly came to a pause.

n“You haven’t told Luoluo about her father.” Mo Lusu suddenly spoke up.

nChu Ningyi’s face immediately froze. He placed the card in his hand on the railing by the lake as he looked up and sneered. “That’s my business, Mo Lusu. I don’t like it with other people threaten me or scheme against me. That’s an unwise decision and you probably know why I’ve been indulging you.” Opportunistic Chu spoke icily and looked at him again. “Therefore, this time is also the very last time.”

nChu Ningyi immediately turned away and left as he spoke.

nMo Lusu looked down at the card on the railing. He clenched his fists at his side as if he was willing himself to not take it. He did not know if he could endure the answer.
