nShui Anluo watched Chu Ningyi as he left before she lowered her head to look at her son.

n“I’m afraid your daddy has ulterior motives for liking you,” sighed Shui Anluo. Therefore, the only thing she could do was to protect her heart. She would not get hurt as long as her heart remains unmoved.

nThe little darling cried for a while before he was finally coaxed to sleep by his mommy.

nShui Anluo carefully placed him on the bed and tucked him in. She then picked up her phone and walked a distance away to make the call.

nAt this moment, Qiao Yaruan was rolling around on the bed as she waited for Shui Anluo to call back. She got up immediately when her phone rang.

n“Is the baby alright?” Qiao Yaruan quickly asked.

n“He’s fine, it’s just that I was too loud when he was about to sleep and startled him.” Shui Anluo felt a little bit distressed as if she had disappointed her son.

n“As long as he’s fine.” Qiao Yaruan felt more assured about the situation. “I might have to move. If I stay with such a handsome guy, what if I lose control and throw myself at him?”

n“I told you that you should switch places,” said Shui Anluo as she walked to the bedside and pulled her computer over. “Let me find a temporary place for you. Otherwise, I can beg Chairman Chu to let you stay with me.”

nShe had felt unsettled when she remembered the look in Feng Feng’s eyes when he had questioned her about Qiao Yaruan. Besides, Feng Feng still has a grudge against her. Also, Qiao Yaruan was her best friend so it was better if they did not live together.

n“No, I don’t have the guts to stay in Chairman Chu’s place,” scoffed Qiao Yaruan. “Will you be going back to school in the next term?”

n“Of course, don’t we have classes in the next term?” Shui Anluo replied matter-of-factly. “By then, my mother should be back.”

n“Uh…”

nQiao Yaruan felt that what Shui Anluo had said was somewhat unreasonable. Based on her observation, Chu Ningyi would never let her leave so easily especially after he had claimed that he wants to court her.

n“Shui Anluo, who told you that there would be classes when school starts? Did you not check the time table? The first half of our fourth year only consists of the internship, we’ll only have classes in the second half.” Indeed, she could not put too much hope on Shui Anluo.

n“Oh…” Shui Anluo felt somewhat ignorant. She has never consulted the time table so, naturally, she had been unaware of this.

n“Are you moving tomorrow? I won’t be free the day after this.” Shui Anluo could not find any decent options online and was considering whether she should speak to Chairman Chu.

n“Isn’t the day after tomorrow a Saturday? What are you doing?”

n“It’s Shui Anjiao’s birthday. I’m going.” Shui Anluo calmly replied.

n“Why are you going to Jiaojiao’s birthday?” Qiao Yaruan had not known about it before but she was aware of it now. That woman, Jiaojiao, who needs a good slap, looks very disgusting.

n“I don’t like the looks of her so I want to stir up a storm for her,” said Shui Anluo calmly. She put her computer down before turning out the lights. “Want to come with me?”

n“I’m free, just waiting to watch the news and see what kind of trouble my exiled princess will cause.”

n“Alright, wait for me, I’ll fight for your honor.” Shui Anluo gently patted her son. The little guy did not stir.

n“Go on but don’t cry or your value will drop.” Qiao Yaruan could not help but remind her, afraid that Shui Anluo would burst into tears at the sight of her so-called father.

n‘Cry?’

nShui Anluo looked into the darkened room. She had not cried when her father had slapped her in the hospital. Now, she was not going to cry more than ever.

n“My tears have dried up long ago.” Shui Anluo chuckled. “I just want everyone to know that my mother was innocent. I want him to apologize to my mother in front of everyone,” said Shui Anluo as hatred flashed in her eyes. She has waited for so long, how could she possibly give up at a time like this?
