Yuan Jiayi tightened her grip on Chu Ningyi’s wrist. Her heart was betting on the last shred of regret he holds for her and his last shred of grat.i.tude. That way, he would not neglect her.
“Shui Anluo, what’s the meaning of this?” Chu Ningyi asked. Had she not promised that she would not personally make a move?
Shui Anluo stared at the confident smile on the corners of Yuan Jiayi’s lips. It was a small smirk on with a hint of ridicule.
Yuan Jiayi felt complacent when she heard Chu Ningyi’s question. In the end, he was still on her side.
Shui Anluo smirked and replied in a voice that was even more aggrieved than Yuan Jiayi’s. “Miss Yuan, the baby’s still young. It’s our fault that he couldn’t hold his milk bottle properly and had dropped it on your thigh. However, you can’t just say things like that. How have I wrongly accused you?”
Does she want to compete and see who could act more pitiful?
Does she think that she was incapable of doing the same?
Chu Ningyi raised his brow. This girl has no plans on staying silent yet she also does not plan to confront her directly. Instead, she was competing against her on who could look more pitiful?
Chu Ningyi reached out and took the bawling little darling to gently soothe him.
The little darling leaned into his daddy’s arms as he gasped. His large eyes were filled with tears and his tiny hand pointed at Yuan Jiayi as if to tell his daddy: ‘It was this evil woman, she had frightened me’.
“Ningyi…” Yuan Jiayi spoke in a grieving voice.
“I’ll get Uncle Chu to send you to the hospital to change your medication. As for Luoluo, she had just experienced a great shock so it’s likely that she’s still recovering from it,” Chu Ningyi calmly explained before he summoned Uncle Chu.
He would get Uncle Chu to send her to the hospital?
What about him?
“Ningyi, I…”
“I still have a meeting to attend, I can’t send you personally,” Chu Ningyi explained sheepishly as he gently patted the huffing little darling. The little darling was becoming anxious, why was this bad lady not leaving?
“Ningyi, you’d better accompany Miss Yuan to the hospital. After all, the little darling had dropped something on Miss Yuan.” Shui Anluo gently coaxed. Her large eyes were s.h.i.+ning at him like her son.
Chu Ningyi: ‘Go on, keep pretending!’
Shui Anluo: ‘Go ahead, you must go. Otherwise, how will we ever find out about the act she ‘s trying to pull?’
Chu Ningyi: ‘Are you asking me to sell myself out?’
Shui Anluo surrendered and lowered her head to look at her toes. She has already confirmed who the culprit was anyway so she did not care about anything else.
However, the little darling was unhappy. Why had he dropped it? He had dropped it because he hated that bad woman. It was her fault for scaring his mommy for no good reason.
The little darling twisted his little body around, getting ready to make a fuss. Chu Ningyi frowned as he let Uncle Chu in and asked him to send Yuan Jiayi to the hospital.
Yuan Jiayi stared at Chu Ningyi in disbelief. She then cried out in a trembling voice, “Ningyi, you don’t believe me!”
Shui Anluo secretly thought that anyone who believes her was a fool. Did she really think that she has become the Queen of the Silver Screen? That no one could possibly see through her pretense?
Chu Ningyi looked down at Yuan Jiayi’s weeping face. His expression did not change as he said, “Jiayi, it’s not that I don’t believe you. I really have an important matter here so I can’t leave.”
“Then what do I…”
“We’ll talk about that matter another time when you’re fully recovered.” Chu Ningyi interrupted her and asked Uncle Chu to send her out.
Yuan Jiayi did not say anything else since Chu Ningyi said that they would talk about the matter later. That means that she still has a few playing cards on hand and she might not be sent to An Fengyang’s office.
As Yuan Jiayi was leaving, her tear-stained faced flashed with a complacent smile. This was the result she had wanted, to make Chu Ningyi blame himself so he would let her stay.
As long as she could stay, she would have ways to get close to Chu Ningyi.
