n“Shui Anluo, do see what you look like now?” Shui Moyun asked, enraged.

n“What do I look like?” Shui Anluo laughed icily as she looked at the man who was linked to her only by blood. “I don’t steal or rob and I don’t take anything that doesn’t belong to me. So what’s your issue with me?”

n“See for yourself, you’ve brought a baby to live in another man’s home. Do you still have any dignity left?” Shui Moyun frowned and his expression turned even uglier.

nShui Anluo slowly took a deep breath and slowly gathered her emotions as well.

n“Uncle, what’s wrong with having the mother of my child in the same home as me? You, on the other hand, who are you to come here? Are you the maternal grandfather of my son? I’m sorry, I don’t recognize you… As my former father-in-law. I deeply apologize, you’re not even my former father-in-law.” Chu Ningyi tightened his grip on Shui Anluo’s shoulder, pacifying her from any emotions of rage.

nIndeed, Chu Ningyi was not a man of many words but when it came to matters that concern Shui Anluo, he would never stay silent.

nChu Ningyi had spoken with one hand pressed on Shui Anluo’s shoulder. He then walked back and sat on the bed. He would never cause her grief.

n“Chu Ningyi, what’re you doing? Must you insist on making an enemy of me?” Shui Moyun restrained his anger and narrowed his eyes which were filled with a mild sense of gloom.

n“I only hope that you can see things a little clearer, Uncle. Don’t wait until you end up regretting what you’ve done,” said Chu Ningyi as he slowly turned toward Shui Moyun. “You’re not in the best of health, Uncle, and running a company requires hard work. Don’t let Grandpa Shui’s lifework end up as someone else’s wedding dress.” Chu Ningyi added more weight when he mentioned the word ‘someone’ as a reminder for Shui Moyun.

nPerhaps because of Shui Anluo’s grief, Chu Ningyi had considered stopping the process of buying Soaring Distance Technologies if Shui Moyun were to change his attitude in time.

nShui Moyun frowned, “What do you mean by that?”

n“I mean, as humans with presbyopia, we can choose to wear glasses. I hope that you’ll be able to see things clearly, Uncle. Shui Anluo is the mother of my child. I won’t let anyone lay a hand on her. That, naturally, includes you.”

nChu Ningyi had spoken steadily but each word hit Shui Anluo hard.

nHe would never let anyone touch her. Even though that was for the sake of her son, Shui Anluo still felt touched.

nChu Ningyi may not be very nice to her but when he was in front of others, he had truly not allowed anyone to cause her grief.

nFor example, he had supported her from behind when she had hit Shui Anjiao. Another example would be when An Jiahui had come to the house to cause trouble for her. He had stood next to her and carried the sky. One more example would be this moment now…

nShui Moyun’s chest heaved unsteadily in anger. “Alright, Chu Ningyi, you better be able to protect her for the rest of her life,” Shui Moyun spoke furiously and shot Shui Anluo an angry glare before he turned around and left the place.

nShui Anluo’s tense body thoroughly relaxed after Shui Moyun disappeared out the door. She raised the corners of her lips; the last look her father had given her was as if he was looking at a piece of trash.

n“Funny, isn’t it? To be scorned by my own father to such a degree,” said Shui Anluo in self-mockery. The hurt on her face no longer seemed to exist.

nChu Ningyi flicked her forehead. “Whether it’s embarrassing or not, you’re not the one in the wrong. Say what should be said. What do you have to be afraid of? Even if the sky collapses, something taller is here to protect you.”

nShui Anluo touched her forehead. One year had passed since she had seen him and she just did not know how to react.
