‘An answer?’

Chu Ningyi looked at the sky again. At this moment, the weather was hot and dry. The heat enveloped one’s heart and caused an odd twitchiness.

“I don’t know. Do you think that I’d be able to clarify my feelings in just two months, Auntie?” Chu Ningyi calmly replied. “I believe that you don’t want me to ruin Luoluo’s future just for the sake of the child. Besides, I’m not all that great either.”

Long Manyin nodded and seemed to be satisfied with his answer. This was also another reason why she holds Chu Ningyi in high esteem.

“Two years ago, when you were bothered into getting married, do you know why I had not opposed it?” Long Manyin smiled. When Chu Ningyi looked at her, she replied, “You’re the only young person amongst the elite of ‘A’ City that I’d choose. You have self-restraint and settle matters with propriety. You’re more responsible than most youngsters. However, I seem to have overestimated my own daughter. I thought that you’d both grow to love each other.”

‘Grow to love each other?’

During that one year when he had been married to Shui Anluo, the number of times he had been home could be counted with one hand. The number of times he had seen her was even less. After all, she had always been so quiet. Also, there was nothing that connected them either.

Under these circumstances, it would be very strange if they had actually ended up growing to love each other.

“If you don’t have an answer, I think I might really have to take Luoluo away. However, don’t worry, the child is yours. Luoluo won’t deny it either. He’ll still have the Chu surname even after we take him away. His name shall be Chu Luoning,” Long Manyin spoke in a fair and considerate manner.

‘Take Shui Anluo away?’

Chu Ningyi’s heart clenched as if this was not the answer he had wanted.

He knew that Luo Yun has enough power to give the mother and son a better life, more than he could.

However, whenever he thought about how Shui Anluo would also take the child away, he would feel a suffocating feeling in his chest.

Outside the balcony, Shui Anluo carried her sniffling son carefully as she stood there and listened to their conversation. Chu Ningyi’s pause made her feel nervous.

Even though she knew that her mother had sent her to Chu Ningyi on purpose, this shock was a far cry from Chu Ningyi’s lack of an answer at this moment.

“I don’t know,” Chu Ningyi replied.

Crash…

Shui Anluo was enraged and her heart shattered on the ground. What does he mean by ‘I don’t know’? Was that an actual answer?

Shui Anluo carried her son back in as her heart secretly twisted with anger. She did not know how to let go of it. She, Shui Anluo, still does not cherish him.

After Shui Anluo carried her son back inside, she realized that something was not right. “Shui Anluo, why are you so concerned about him? Look at that girl, she’s his childhood sweetheart and ex-girlfriend. Having feelings for him is just looking for abuse.” Shui Anluo gritted her teeth as she muttered to herself, contributing something for her own mind.

“Babble…” The little darling stared at his mommy who was panting with rage and gurgled with laughter instead. He grabbed his mommy’s chest with his tiny hand.

Shui Anluo looked down and stared at her son. She knew he was gloating at her. This was most definitely Chu Ningyi’s son. All he knows was to laugh at her every time.

“Stop gurgling, are you finally willing to eat something?” Shui Anluo asked. The little darling babbled again and she closed the door before unbuttoning her top to feed her son. The little darling did not want bottled milk but his mother’s breast was a little more appetizing.

When Chu Ningyi returned, the little darling was already asleep. Shui Anluo awkwardly took his temperature for him. She relaxed when she saw that his fever has subsided a little.

Chu Ningyi stood at the doorway and watched her awkward movements. She was a twenty-one-year-old university student but she was also the mother of a child. She does not know a thing and would cry whenever the child was in trouble. However, despite crying, she had to continue on. This girl’s situation was strangely… Heartbreaking.
