“There’s no need.”

Just when Bai Yehan thought that he would not get an answer, Chu Ningyi suddenly responded.

Bai Yehan raised his brow when he heard the reply. Why was there a tinge of sadness in Chu Ningyi’s voice?

After Chu Ningyi ended the call, he glanced through his list of missed calls and messages. There was not a single call or message from Shui Anluo.

Perhaps she had never thought about him at all during this period of time.

As he thought about this, Chu Ningyi felt strangely annoyed and threw his phone onto the table.

Yuan Jiayi pursed her lips as she watched him. She had known Chu Ningyi for three years but had never seen him in such an impatient and anxious state before.

How could Chu Ningyi not feel twitchy? He had assumed that Shui Anluo was just a little maiden. Who else could she rely on during this period of time aside from him? However, that vicious girl had never called him. She did not even send him a text.

Therefore, Director Chu has become angry. As the previous matter has been settled, he would let her stew in her own juice.

“Ningyi?” Yuan Jiayi spoke up carefully. It was obvious that he was pissed off.

When Chu Ningyi heard Yuan Jiayi’s voice, his expression softened a little. “It’s nothing,” Chu Ningyi replied as he picked up his knife and fork again.

Yuan Jiayi smiled and nodded. She then continued to eat. She truly felt envious and jealous of the woman who could cause Chu Ningyi to display such varied emotions. Whenever he was with her, he would always only show the same expression.

It was the dead of the night and only the sound of heavy rain slamming against the windows could be heard.

The little darling seemed to realize that his daddy would not come back to hold him no matter how much he cried. Therefore, the little fellow has given up and was now asleep, sprawled out on the bed.

Shui Anluo gently patted his little tummy but her gaze remained fixed on the phone on the table.

Every night, she stopped herself from touching her phone. She would not contact her mother nor would she contact Chu Ningyi.

“Little darling, your mommy is pretty talented, isn’t she? At least she has managed to scare your daddy not to come home again,” Shui Anluo said as she reached out to embrace her son. She then placed him in her arms. The conversation in the recording was the very reason why she had refused to call him.

She now knew that Chu Ningyi was only waiting for her to leave. That way, even if he dumped her, no one would say anything.

The little darling smacked his lips as he continued to sleep.

Shui Anluo lowered her head and kissed her son’s tiny head. Her face was still red and swollen at the moment but she did not care.

Just as Shui Anluo was lost in her thoughts, her phone rang.

Shui Anluo immediately looked up and stared at the ringing phone.

‘Was it… Him?’

Only then did Shui Anluo understand that she had been longing for this.

Shui Anluo carried her son with one hand as she picked up her phone with the other.

Beautiful Brother.

When she saw the display on the screen, Shui Anluo laughed at herself. She had been overthinking things.

Shui Anluo took a deep breath before she answered the call. “Beautiful Brother.” Out of all her good friends, her beautiful brother was the only one who would help her. She felt a sense of gratitude towards An Fengyang.

“Luoluo, the matter in the news is now almost resolved. We’ve found the original picture and we’ll announce that the pictures have all been photoshopped tomorrow. Everything will be back to normal soon.” An Fengyang’s voice sounded a little hoarse as he had been busy with this over the past few days.

“Alright, thank you, Beautiful Brother.” Shui Anluo smiled in reply.

“It’s fine, I wasn’t the one who had found the pictures anyway.” An Fengyang chuckled. “Tomorrow, I’ll ask Second Bai to come and see you. He’ll be managing your lawsuit against An Jiahui.”

Shui Anluo’s thoughts were still on the fact that he was not the one who had found the pictures but she also heard what he had said.

“Second Bai? Who’s that?”
