Chapter 542: I’m The One Who Can Walk This Entire Path With Her
Shui Anluo slid the blanket down a little and stared at Chu Ningyi. Why does her mother want to see him?
Chu Ningyi’s heart, however, thumped nervously. At the end of the day, he could not avoid what was expected.
Luo Xuan turned around and left. Chu Ningyi handed his laptop and the little darling over to Shui Anluo as he said, “I’ll go check it out.”
Shui Anluo sat up, taking the little darling and the laptop. She watched as Chu Ningyi got up and left.
“Why does your grandmother want to see your dad?” Shui Anluo wondered as she carried the little darling and rose to her feet. The little darling babbled and squeaked. His computer! However this time, his mommy had ignored him.
Shui Anluo had just walked to the doorway when Luo Xuan appeared out of nowhere and blocked her way. “Auntie had instructed that you should stay in your room.”
Shui Anluo, who had stumbled back when he blocked her, frowned at him.
Clearly, Luo Xuan was not going to give way so Shui Anluo angrily carried her son back.
Chu Ningyi stepped into Luo Yun’s study and knocked on the door. He entered upon receiving permission.
Luo Yun was an abnormal talent and his study reflected that.
There were three large bookcases that reached the ceiling in his study and were filled with all sorts of books.
Aside from the bookcases, there was a dark wood writing desk and a lounge chair that looked out of place. There was also a small rattan coffee table on the balcony outside and two chairs. Long Manyin was sitting as she waited for him.
Chu Ningyi took a deep breath and slowly walked over.
Long Manyin noticed him and signaled for him to take a seat on the other rattan chair.
“I believe you already have your answer in regards to the previous matter.” Long Manyin reached out to pour him some water.
“Yes.”
Long Manyin put the kettle down and smiled. “However, my daughter has had to pay a huge price for that answer, am I right?”
It was as expected…
Chu Ningyi’s hand paused just as he was about to pick up his gla.s.s but he soon returned to normal.
“It won’t happen again.” Chu Ningyi a.s.sured her in a solemn voice.
“I had intended to go back to the home country when Luoluo had been involved in the landslide but Luo Yun said that I should give you another chance. He always believed in you,” Long Manyin suddenly said.
Chu Ningyi slowly stroked the edge of his gla.s.s. He knew what Long Manyin was about to say.
“But still, you’ve let me down.”
Chu Ningyi’s hand paused, causing the water to splash on the back of his hand and scald him.
“It’s my fault.” Chu Ningyi did no object and immediately spoke.
“Yes, it’s your fault.” Long Manyin chuckled and sipped on her warm tea. However, her voice carried a chilly tone.
“Had it not been for the fact that the situation here was not suitable for her to stay on, I wouldn’t have allowed you to take her away,” Long Manyin said as she suddenly put her exquisite teacup down.
However, despite feeling distracted, Chu Ningyi did not forget to tell her this: “I believe that you’re mistaken. Even if the situation had allowed for her to stay, I would still have taken her away. After all, her home is in ‘A’ CIty.”
“Do you really think that you can?” Long Manyin sneered.
“Whether I can or not, we’ll only be able to find out when I try, right?” Chu Ningyi slowly said as he put the cup down again. “Besides, as a mother, the time for you to accompany her has pa.s.sed. I’m the one who can finish walking the rest of this path with her.”
Chu Ningyi spoke evenly in a voice that was neither haughty nor humble.
