Chapter 28: Regarding The Interns.h.i.+p
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Ningyi unlocked the door and got out of the car. He Xiaoran, who was sitting in the other car, saw him and immediately unlocked the car door and ran out. She looked at her son as she asked, “What on earth are you doing?”
Chu Ningyi shut the door before leaning gracefully against it. “You saw it.”
“Chu Ningyi.” He Xiaoran shot her son an angry glare.
Chu Ningyi stared indifferently at his furious mother as he spoke in a conceited tone.
“I’m only considering it. Why’re you so anxious? Your son has chosen someone else now so don’t you think it’s a good thing?” Chu Ningyi’s expression showed as if he was in great demand and his mother was almost angered to death by his att.i.tude.
“Considering what? Let me tell you this, remarry Shui Anluo tomorrow! Don’t you dare consider An Fengyang at all.” He Xiaoran laid her ultimatum down before she immediately turned and got back into the other car.
Chu Ningyi continued to lean against his car. Chu Mobai, who was in the other car, glanced at his son calmly. He could feign ignorance about his son’s actions but he could not make it too obvious.
Chu Ningyi sent his mother off before he lifted his head to look at the direction of his home.
Remarry?
He had no intentions of remarrying for the time being.
Chu Ningyi walked upstairs. The living room was quiet and peaceful as Uncle Chu dozed off on the sofa. The little darling had clearly fallen asleep.
Chu Ningyi stood at the doorway and looked in. The apartment he had returned to was no longer cold and icy. If the little darling had been awake, he would be making gurgling noises. If Shui Anluo had been awake, she would be talking and laughing with her son.
“Young Master?” Uncle Chu woke up, rose to his feet and smiled.
“You can go back, there’s nothing much to do now,” said Chu Ningyi as he walked in.
Uncle Chu nodded. “Young Master, the Madam…”
“I know, I ran into her downstairs,” said Chu Ningyi as he walked to the bedside. He lowered his head to look at the little thing who was sprawled on the bed. A little towel covered the infant’s stomach as his tiny, lotus root-like arms and legs were stretched out. He was so fair and tender that one felt the urge to bite him.
Uncle Chu did not say anything more as he turned around and left the place.
The little darling has fallen fast asleep. Chu Ningyi would definitely not disturb his son’s rest, unlike a certain woman. Instead, he turned and walked upstairs after taking a look at his son.
Shui Anluo was still awake. What had kept her up was not her former mother-in-law’s visit but the video call she was having with Qiao Yaruan. She had forgotten that she had to find an interns.h.i.+p during the holidays or she would not be able to graduate.
It takes five years to complete medical school so, logically speaking, they should only need to get an interns.h.i.+p after their fourth year. However, their abnormal administration had insisted that the students must do their interns.h.i.+p during their fourth year. Shui Anluo has yet to find a hospital for her interns.h.i.+p.
“You can stop sighing, my father has found a hospital near my house. It’s my aunt’s so why don’t you come along as well?” Qiao Yaruan suggested from the other end.
“I certainly want to but what should I do about my little darling? I can’t leave him at all!” Shui Anluo exclaimed as she rolled around the bed twice. “Why don’t you make a fake interns.h.i.+p report for me?”
“Stop teasing me, can these things even be faked? It’s not just any other profession,” said Qiao Yaruan. “However, isn’t your child’s father Chu Ningyi? The Chu Group owns a hospital too.”
“Pfft, that’s only my son’s father. He’s got nothing to do with me.” Shui Anluo clicked her tongue and rolled around twice to work her bones. However, just as she was rising from the bed, she saw a certain someone’s face with an expression similar to the great King of h.e.l.l.
Shui Anluo shook and recalled what she had just said. However, she did not think that her words were offensive to him. No matter how hard she thought about it, her words were not offensive so she did not worry too much.
“Since he’s the father of your child, it shouldn’t be too hard for him to help the mother of his child to get an interns.h.i.+p.”
“Heh, I’m a person with integrity, how can I possibly betray my son for the sake of a job?” Shui Anluo walked past the black-faced man to check if her son was still sleeping.
“Be careful, you might fail to graduate for the sake of your integrity,” said Qiao Yaruan. She stopped speaking when she saw that Shui Anluo had gone out.
Shui Anluo paused in consideration, it would be an embarra.s.sment if she failed to graduate.
She has to weigh the decision between her integrity and her graduation certificate.
Chu Ningyi saw Shui Anluo pause and knew that she was choosing between integrity and graduating.
Shui Anluo thought for a while before she chuckled and turned to face Chu Ningyi. “Ah, Director Chu, I heard that your company operates a great variety of businesses and that hospitals are one of them?”
Chu Ningyi did not even blink as he looked at her calmly. “You’re only the mother of my child, how’s my company’s business related to you?” said Chu Ningyi before he cut across her and returned to his room.
…
Shui Anluo was speechless, why had those words sounded so familiar?
She heard some noises from downstairs which signaled that the little darling was awake.
Shui Anluo has no time to figure out why those words sounded so familiar and quickly went downstairs to scoop the little darling into her arms before he could burst into tears.
The little darling’s tears stopped as soon as his mummy carried him and his tiny mouth opened wide into a smile.
Shui Anluo planted a big fat kiss on his smiling little face and carried him to the kitchen. “So, this little ancestor has slept another afternoon. You aren’t going to sleep again tonight, aren’t you?”
“Babble…”
Alright, since this was how her son chose to answer her, perhaps she would throw him to his father tonight. There was nothing to be worried about when she thought about leaving her son with him anyway.
“Why don’t we eat some apples?” asked Shui Anluo. She saw the apples on the kitchen table and suddenly felt as if she had just made a pretty good suggestion.
“Babble…”
“Say mummy, mummy…”
“Babble…”
“Forget it, you silly little thing, you only know how to blow spit bubbles.” Shui Anluo picked an apple up and felt around the kitchen for a paring knife.
After Chu Ningyi returned to his room, he dialed Lin Qianchen’s number.
“Luoluo can certainly come to my place for her interns.h.i.+p. As it happens, I can also help her out a little.” Lin Qianchen behaved as if she had completely forgotten about the incident earlier this afternoon and smiled as she replied.
“Regarding this afternoon’s incident…”
“I know, Jiaojiao was indeed harsh with her words to begin with. Even though I disagree with Luoluo’s actions, it has already happened. Let bygones be bygones. Whatever it is, Luoluo is still my cousin.”
“Mm, I’ll let you go ahead and take care of this matter. I’ll bring her over to see you in a few days.” Chu Ningyi then turned his computer off.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you’ll personally send her over? When do you plan on remarrying her?” Lin Qianchen smiled as she asked.
“Wait for it,” Chu Ningyi said before ending the call.
Lin Qianchen saw that he had ended the call. He had only said ‘wait for it’ instead of ‘soon’ so this remarriage was not on the register yet.
“Shui Anluo, did you really think that having a child would be your trump card? Aren’t you a little too naive?” Lin Qianchen murmured indifferently before she threw her phone on the desk, packed up her things and went home.
