Chapter 596: Stop Following Me
The little darling blinked and smacked his mommy’s cheek as if to say: Mommy, what’s wrong? Had you forgotten to take your medication?
Shui Anluo looked at her little darling and kissed his fair little cheek. “Come, Mommy’s going to get you some diapers,” said Shui Anluo said as she walked into the living room. She pulled a tin box from under the coffee table. She, who had left her wallet at school, has to now to dig into her coffers.
The little tin box was a Danisa Traditional b.u.t.ter Cookie box. It has a dark blue cover and was filled with five and ten dollar notes. This was the change that Shui Anluo had kept when she had gone out to buy things for the little darling previously. Her mother had not wanted it so she saved the change.
Shui Anluo took several of the larger notes from the tin and put them in her pocket. The little darling stretched his little paws to take a five-dollar note as his little mouth babbled away.
Shui Anluo glanced at him, the little darling was obviously saying: Buy, buy, buy!
“Hold on to this, we can buy some sweets with that,” Shui Anluo said and closed the cover. She put the tin back and picked him up.
Knock, knock, knock…
Someone knocked on the door. There were no doorbells in this old neighborhood.
“Uncle’s back, let’s go see what Uncle’s bought,” Shui Anluo said. She carried the little darling and went to open the door.
Chu Ningyi’s car was gone so that must mean that he had left. Therefore, she was not worried about whether Chu Ningyi would be behind the door.
“Look…” Shui Anluo said as she unlocked the door. However, just as she unlocked the door, someone pushed it open. Shui Anluo stumbled back and cried out, “C-Chu Ningyi…”
d.a.m.n it, had he not left?
“Baba… Baba…” The little darling cried out excitedly. He seemed to have forgotten that his dad was the cause of his little teeth aching this morning. He was now stretching his little paws out, asking to be held.
Chu Ningyi lowered his gaze and stared at the woman who was holding the child and shrinking away from him. Was she that averse to being near him[1]?
“Baba…” The little darling grew anxious when he did not receive a response. His voice was filled with annoyance. ‘d.a.m.ned old man, he dares to ignore me. Is he trying to rebel?’
Chu Ningyi returned to his senses. His eyes finally s.h.i.+fted from the shrinking turtle to the little turtle who had flipped over this morning. He stretched out his arm and Shui Anluo took another step back.
Chu Ningyi’s expression turned ugly.
Shui Anluo stared at the little darling in her arms who was twisting around and asking for his dad. She handed the little darling over to him. This was good, his hands would be occupied so he would not be able to hit her now.
“You can watch him, I’m going to downstairs to buy some things,” Shui Anluo said and quickly ran past him. Internally, she was scolding her cousin from top to toe. If her beautiful brother was Beijing’s biggest b.i.t.c.h, her cousin could be said to be Paris’ biggest b.i.t.c.h. Do all of them take pleasure in betraying her?
Chu Ningyi frowned. He held the little darling as he immediately turned around and followed her out.
Shui Anluo walked ahead as he followed her. When they arrived downstairs, Shui Anluo turned around and glared at him, “Stop following me!”
Oh my, this little lamb was angry!
Chu Ningyi stared at her coolly and did not reply.
Shui Anluo turned around once again and took several steps forward. However, the person behind her continued to follow her. Shui Anluo frowned and glared at him angrily, “I said, stop following me.”
Chu Ningyi carried the little darling with one arm and placed his injured hand in his pocket. He slowly pa.s.sed her by and walked in front of her. He had known what Shui Anluo had planned to do from the moment he held the little darling.
[1] Uh… Because you’ve abused her?
