nChu Ningyi nodded in satisfaction. This little girl’s apprenticeship would be completed very soon. After all, it had been very lonely for him to live unrivaled in the venomous tongue world.

n“How have I brought disaster upon you?” Chu Ningyi raised his brow as he reached out to snatch her half-finished cup of milk tea away. He then threw it into the rubbish bin.

n“Chu Ningyi, what’re you doing?” Shui Anluo’s voice suddenly dropped, she was not done with her milk tea yet.

n

n

n“Don’t drink too much of that. I suspect that the source of your brian deficiency comes from drinking too much of that stuff,” Chu Ningyi stated indifferently.

nShui Anluo was like a small, enraged lioness. She glared at him viciously as she said, “You’re the one with the brain deficiency, your whole family is full of brain deficiencies. No, that’s not right, my son is exempt.” Shui Anluo scoffed.

n“Answer the question first, how have I brought disaster upon you?” Chu Ningyi refused to quibble with her over the question of milk tea causing brain deficiency. Instead, he pulled the topic back to the actual question.

n“Heh, aren’t the women of ‘A’ City just dying to swallow me up? Look at how handsome Director Chu is, the woman standing next to him always gets Photoshopped into an ugly wretch, okay?” Shui Anluo sulked but her heart was still waiting for her father’s report.

n

n

n“Mm… Maybe they think that I’m too ugly. I’m not compatible with a beautiful woman like you so the Photoshopped an ugly girl in for me.” Chu Ningyi lied with a straight face.

nThe corners of Shui Anluo’s lips twitched. Very good, she would give this answer full marks.

n‘However, Director Chu, if you say that you’re ugly, shouldn’t the men of ‘A’ City give up on life?’

n“When will the results be out?” Shui Anluo asked as she glanced at the doctor’s office.

n

n

n“Calm down, they should be out soon.” Chu Ningyi waited calmly. His staff was still processing the arrangements so, naturally, nothing would be out yet. As long as nothing big was exposed about Shui Moyun’s condition, all would be well. Otherwise, he really has no way of explaining things to Shui Anluo.

nShui Anluo nodded and continued to wait with her head lowered.

n“I wonder if the Empress Dowager has asked the madman for money yet?” Shui Anluo asked in a small voice, trying to shift her mood.

nChu Ningyi frowned. “Old Fourth won’t let this chance slip away. Since he’s agreed to that three-month contract, he’ll make it happen.”

n“Are you saying that the madman has actually fallen for the Empress Dowager?” Shui Anluo asked for confirmation, still worried.

n“Yes.” Chu Ningyi reached out and stroked her head. “Don’t worry, as long as we stay quiet about his original motive to get close to Qiao Yaruan, I can guarantee that he won’t reveal that on his own.”

nShui Anluo nodded as she leaned against his shoulder and watched the man in the ward.

nAfter an hour, the test results were released. Shui Anluo limped her way to her feet to take the report. She looked over it several times before she exclaimed, puzzled. “There’s not much of a problem here so why hasn’t my father woken up?”

n“Based on the report, it really does seem like there isn’t a problem. As for why he hasn’t woken up, it’s likely that on a subconscious level, he doesn’t want to wake up.” The doctor explained with a smile.

n“Thank you, Doctor Jiang. I understand.” Shui Anluo watched the doctor as he turned around and left. She then reread the report a few more times. Was she too stupid? Why does it look like all the numbers on every page were in the normal range?

n“Feeling relieved now?” Chu Ningyi stroked her head.

n“But the report from Senior Brother had indicated an issue.” Shui Anluo frowned and turned to Chu Ningyi. “Did he get better after we switched hospitals?”

n“Since we’re certain that he’s alright, let’s go home.” Chu Ningyi did not elaborate nor did he take the chance to point out the possibility that Mo Lusu might have tampered with the report. After all, these tactics were beneath his dignity.
