nChu Ningyi stared at the coquettish little lioness in front of him and reached out to stroke her head. He has the belief that his life was too complicated. Out of the many reasons he had for choosing Shui Anluo, the main reason had been because she was a simple person.

n“Actually…”

nKnock, knock, knock…

n

n

nBefore Chu Ningyi could finish speaking, there was another knock on the door.

nChu Ningyi turned around to see Gu Qingchen walking in.

n“What is it?”

nGu Qingchen passed a document to him. “I’ve come to see what has happened to my cousin-in-law this time. She’s somehow managed to turn you into a miner for half a month within three months,” she said indifferently.

n

n

nThere was a sense of cynicism in her words.

nShui Anluo had her blanket over her face so her expression could not be seen. However, her grip on the edge of the blanket tightened.

nChu Ningyi’s sharp eyes caught the way Shui Anluo’s hand had clenched. He looked down to read through the document and signed his name. He then handed it back to Gu Qingchen.

n“You’re still alive,” Chu Ningyi calmly mused.

n

n

nHe had loaned his car to Luo Xuan last night so he did not expect his cousin to be in such a good mood today. She had come all the way here after work to chastise his little wife.

n“What do you mean?” Gu Qingchen frowned.

nChu Ningyi looked at Gu Qingchen from head to toe. She was still wearing the same clothes from the day before. He immediately came to a realization. “Did you not go home last night?” No wonder she still seems alright.

n“I was working overtime, Big Brother,” Gu Qingchen scoffed as she snatched the document from his hand. “Unlike some people who have to keep a disaster-prone goblin company from day to night.”

n“Gu… Qing… Chen.” Chu Ningyi was enraged, his little wife was still awake. “I’m the one who has nurtured her appetite for disaster. Any further comments?”

n‘Uh…’

n

n

nAn appetite for disaster can be nurtured?’

nGu Qingchen gave her cousin’s answer full marks.

nShui Anluo’s hand trembled again. Fine, Brother Chu’s answer has smoothed over the discomfort in her heart.

n“Keep nurturing her. Sooner or later, you’ll end up crying one day,” Gu Qingchen replied indignantly. She then turned around and left the ward. She was nearly thirty years old, was there no one who would dote on her like that in her life?

nS’hui Anluo, you’re certainly enviable.’

nThe ward was quiet again after Gu Qingchen left. Chu Ningyi continued to cut the dragon fruit. He did not ask the eavesdropping girl to come out either.

nShui Anluo carefully peeled a corner of the blanket away and watched Chu Ningyi. “You should go back to the office, I’m fine,” she said in a small voice.

n“Lie down, what’re you talking about?” Chu Ningyi calmly replied, placing the small cut pieces of dragon fruit nicely. He got up and washed his hands in the washroom before feeding Shui Anluo with a toothpick.

n

n

n“Where did this toothpick come from?” Shui Anluo blinked.

n“I’d conjured it. Hurry up and eat,” said Chu Ningyi as he placed a dragon fruit piece into her mouth.

nShui Anluo giggled and ate them one by one. Finally, her gaze landed on his wrist. The bandage on his wrist was cleaner than the one on her foot. This mysophobic man.

n“Umm, how’s your arm?” Now that Shui Anluo was thinking about it, she remembered that she had bitten him quite hard.

nChu Ningyi glanced at his wrist then chucked her chin. “The little dog’s teeth are pretty sharp. Next time, I’ll pull them out.”

nShui Anluo covered her lips and glared at him forcefully with her pretty eyes.

n“Go to the office, I don’t want to sit here and endure a scolding.” Shui Anluo groaned.

nChu Ningyi grunted indifferently but he did not get up. Instead, he placed the plate of dragon fruit on the table.
