Chapter 23: Destroy The Report

After an hour, the doctor emerged from the emergency room and removed his surgical mask before saying, “Director Chu, Mrs. Chu is merely suffering from acute gastroenteritis.”

Chu Ningyi hummed indifferently. Based on what she had eaten for dinner, it would be strange if she did not have diarrhea. However, she had brought this onto herself.

Shui Anluo was placed on an I.V. drip and sent to the ward. However, it was likely that she was still suffering as her small face winced occasionally. The little darling’s face was also scrunched up like a meat bun.

Chu Ningyi sat by her bed and placed the little darling next to her. The little darling did not cry or fuss as he obediently leaned into Shui Anluo’s arms. Perhaps he had exhausted himself by playing for too long as the little one soon grew sleepy. It did not take long for him to shut his eyes and cuddle up to Shui Anluo as he fell asleep.

Chu Ningyi frowned as he watched the mother and son on the bed. He covered the little darling with a blanket before smoothing out Shui Anluo’s messy and sweaty hair.

He had not seen her for a year and she had become more beautiful.

She just pa.s.sed the age of twenty but because she had given birth to a child, she looked more mature than other twenty-year-old girls.

He did not have much of an impression of her when they had been married for a year. All he knew was that she was a good girl. Aside from going to cla.s.ses, she played computer games on Sat.u.r.days. Furthermore, she was always smiling. It was just as outsiders had said, her life had been perfect with a good family and a good husband.

If it had not been for Shui Moyun and Long Manyin’s divorce, they might still be husband and wife. Chu Ningyi would have been able to witness the little darling’s birth and continue to live that boring life.

However, after meeting her again one year later, he realized that the wife he knew had been a facade.

A year later, her haughty yet lovable demeanor and the coldness in the slap she had given Shui Anjiao made him understand that this was the real Shui Anluo.

When An Fengyang received Chu Ningyi’s call, he immediately abandoned his woman and rushed over. He entered the room and watched the family of three.

“What happened that she had to be admitted to the hospital in the middle of the night?” An Fengyang was still dressed in flashy attire but he looked a little less put-together. It was clear that he had rushed over immediately.

“Nothing, she just ate something wrong,” replied Chu Ningyi calmly. “Why are you here?”

“You only told me that she has been admitted to the hospital so how would I know what happened?” An Fengyang rolled his eyes and lowered his head to look at the pale-faced Shui Anluo. He stroked her hand. “Why’s she so cold?”

Chu Ningyi swatted his hand away. “Why’re you concerned about her?”

An Fengyang curled his lips after his hand was swatted away. His smile was a little bit evil because he had such feminine features. This smile was enough to put flowers to shame and outs.h.i.+ne the moon.

“Naturally, she’s like a little sister that I’ve grown up with, unlike some people,” replied An Fengyang, unafraid of death. However, he did not test Chu Ningyi’s patience through that action.

“Have you thought about tomorrow’s news? You’ve just announced your s.e.xual orientation yet you’ve reunited with your ex-wife. Aren’t you’re abandoning me now?” An Fengyang spoke in an aggrieved manner as he raised his hand gracefully. It was an absolutely charming sight.

Chu Ningyi raised his head. The iciness in his peach blossom eyes was clear.

Others feared him but An Fengyang was certainly not amongst those in that category.

An Fengyang pulled a chair over and sat astride it. He then placed his hands on the back of the chair as he asked, “You mean Long Manyin was the one who had asked you to take Xiao Luoluo back? But why?”

“Long Manyin wants to leave or she knows something.” Chu Ningyi turned back to look at Shui Anluo. How could this girl, who had single-mindedly wanted to return to her mother, know that it was her mother who had pushed her away?

“Then your journey won’t be easy since you’ve brought Xiao Luoluo back and you want to acquire the Shui Cooperation,” said An Fengyang as he shook his head.

“She has long cut ties with the Shui family.” Chu Ningyi glanced at Shui Anluo before he looked at An Fengyang again. “Any updates on the matter that I’ve asked you to investigate?”

“Xiao Luoluo’s report back then had indeed been tampered with. Shui Moyun’s illegitimate daughter is actually Shui Anjiao,” An Fengyang shrugged his shoulders as he spoke. He was no stranger to the dramas of powerful and wealthy families.

“Destroy that report,” replied Chu Ningyi.

“What?” An Fengyang turned to Chu Ningyi before he looked at Shui Anluo who lay on the sickbed. “You don’t want her to know the truth?”

“Since Shui Moyun doesn’t want her, if he ever wants to find his real daughter, let him beg for it himself.” Perhaps what Chu Ningyi wanted was not the Shui family’s estate but to give Shui Anluo justice.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Alright, I’ll destroy it. However, I wonder if Xiao Luoluo would be moved if she ever finds out about this?” An Fengyang’s phoenix eyes were filled with mockery.

“If she ever finds out, I guarantee that within a year, Wen Xin will no longer appear in front of you.”

After Chu Ningyi issued his threat, An Fengyang’s expression changed greatly. He dropped his teasing expression and stared at him seriously because he knew Chu Ningyi would follow through with whatever he had just said.

What a joke. His efforts had come to fruition after great difficulty so how could he let Young Master Chu mess it all up so easily?

“Since Xiao Luoluo is alright, I’m leaving. I guarantee that Shui Moyun and Xiao Luoluo won’t know a thing before the Shui Corporation is finished.” An Fengyang then distanced himself from the dangerous Young Master Chu as he suddenly felt that it was a better prospect to go home instead.

After An Fengyang had left, the ward returned to silence.

Chu Ningyi looked at Shui Anluo who was frowning and pinched her face. He then exclaimed in a deep voice, “Serves you right.”

This was a perfect example of ‘persisting in evil things will bring about self-destruction’. There was no need for him to worry about Shui Anluo too much.

As for his reasons for helping Shui Anluo, that was because Shui Anluo was the mother of his son.

‘It hurts…’

Shui Anluo woke up from the pain. Her stomach was hurting and her entire body also hurt.

Aside from the pain, there was another obvious sensation… The cold!

‘Who left the air-conditioner on?’

Shui Anluo slowly opened her eyes before closing them again sheepishly. Her actions were so natural that it left no trace.

She had felt cold not because the air-conditioning had been turned on but because there was a large, portable air-conditioning unit that could not be controlled at her side.

‘I’m still asleep. That’s right, I’m still asleep.’

However, how could Chu Ningyi not know that she had woken up? He scoffed coldly and looked at the little darling who was beginning to wriggle about. The baby looked ready to throw a fuss. However, he stayed still and waited for Shui Anluo to react.

“Wah!!!” The little darling may be small in size but his cries were earth-shattering.

Even if Shui Anluo wanted to pretend to sleep, that was impossible now. She could only ignore her aching body as she tried to hold the crying baby. However, she had no strength left to carry him.

The little darling bawled and automatically leaned into Shui Anluo’s bosom, looking for milk.
