Shui Anluo’s mouth twitched as she glanced at Chu Ningyi. How had her top dog of an ex-father-in-law produced such a glacier of a man? That was really incomprehensible.

Shui Anluo shot him an angry glare but still ate the rice and vegetables that he fed her with. She then continued to look at the news.

There were several mentions of Chu Ningyi being out of the country. Some even confirmed that Chu Ningyi was seen in Paris because an accident had occurred in that branch.

Shui Anluo looked at Chu Ningyi. “Who was the one who had confirmed this? Are they stupid?”

Chu Ningyi looked up at stared at her in complete earnestness. He then calmly said, “I confirmed it, is there a problem?”

Before Shui Anluo could look back up, she felt a small, chilly wind rudely brush against her back.

Shui Anluo decided against looking at Director Chu’s cold features and continued to read the news.

“Sigh, you really are an ungrateful brute,” Shui Anluo said and looked up so Chu Ningyi could feed her. She chewed several times before swallowing and saying, “Did you put this news up so everyone would believe that they won’t need to put so much effort into saving me because Chu Ningyi doesn’t care anyway?”

Chu Ningyi raised his brow which could be seen as an agreement to her theory.

The most important reason why he had done so was to show the person behind the scenes that Chu Ningyi would not help Shui Anluo. He wants that person to grow complacent.

Shui Anluo curled her lips and continued to read. Although Chu Mobai had made the announcement, some people would still speculate over the result. Perhaps Shui Anluo could not be saved after all.

Some have even said that Chu Ningyi had done this on purpose so that he could gain custody of the little Crown Prince. Hence, he did not care whether Shui Anluo lived or died.

At the thought of this, Shui Anluo suddenly remembered the divorce agreement beneath her bed. In the past, she had also believed that Chu Ningyi was doing everything for the sake of gaining custody of the baby.

However, now that Director Chu had admitted that he likes her, perhaps that divorce agreement would be rendered void very soon.

As Shui Anluo thought about this, she looked up at Chu Ningyi. “How much longer do we have to wait for the outcome?”

Chu Ningyi spoke calmly as he ate his meal, “As long as there isn’t any result after five days, they can admit that you’ve met your demise. By then, the employee will naturally ask the employer for their pay.”

“It must have been Yuan Jiayi,” Shui Anluo scoffed coldly.

Chu Ningyi’s chopsticks shook. He was momentarily dazed before he said, “Uncle Chu had said that the person had gone to the hospital but he did not go in.”

“See, I just know that she’s involved.” Shui Anluo narrowed her eyes and looked at Chu Ningyi. “I know that it’s your love affair.”

Chu Ningyi reached out again and slapped her over the head. “Eat your food, the mother of my child.”

Shui Anluo yelped, this manner of address was truly vulgar.

However, Shui Anluo would glance at Chu Ningyi from time to time as she ate her food. What exactly does he mean? Who could she believe?

Or could she say that he does not believe that Yuan Jiayi was the culprit?

Shui Anluo thought about these two possibilities and held her chopsticks sulkily as she jabbed them at her rice. She had lost her appetite.

“If you have any questions, just ask. Don’t get over-confident and slap me with an accusation.” Chu Ningyi looked up at Shui Anluo’s little head as he spoke coldly.

“Cough…” Shui Anluo nearly choked on her own saliva. She then looked at Chu Ningyi with eyes full of disbelief.

Fine, she had forgotten that Director Chu was like a god. She could not hide anything from him so Shui Anluo threw caution to the wind and spoke straightaway. “My intuition says that Yuan Jiayi was behind all of this.”
