Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shui Anluo lowered her head. He Xiaoran stood by her bed and watched her.

The glow of the rising sun shone through the window, hitting Shui Anluo’s folded hands.

She looked like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for the headteacher to announce her punishment.

“I believe that you’re the person who’s least suited for Ningyi.”

It was over, the headteacher has spoken.

Shui Anluo’s linked fingers tightened their grip.

“However, you’re the only one who has allowed my son to longer be a cold person.”

‘Huh?’

Shui Anluo immediately lifted her head. She did not see the frostiness that she had imagined. Even though He Xiaoran still looked merciless on the surface, it was not the same as her previous annoyance or disgust.

“Even though you’re still the same as you had been two years ago, still like a child. But you are still very young after all I’ve been too demanding of you in the past,” He Xiaoran said as her expression softened a little.

Shui Anluo pursed her lips but she could not conceal the smile on the corners of her mouth.

Has she been accepted?

She had profited from a disaster and received her mother-in-law’s approval even though she had not done anything much.

“I’ll try not to get into trouble.” Shui Anluo lowered her head and promised in a soft voice.

He Xiaoran stared at her aggrieved expression and smiled instead.

Shui Anluo lifted her head and tapped her cheeks as she stared at her smiling former mother-in-aw. However, just as she looked up, He Xiaoran let the smile drop from her face.

“Although I’ve approved of you, take note of Ningyi’s grandmother’s absence. You must now pass her obstacle and it’s not that easy either. Don’t think that this is the end just because you’ve gotten together with Ningyi. Family is an important part of setting up a marriage,” He Xiaoran said in a dark voice. She and her husband may seem very loving together but her mother-in-law had remained as a line and an unchanging issue between them.

The corners of Shui Anluo’s lips twitched. She had really wanted to say that as long as Chu Ningyi has acknowledged her, that would be enough. However, she never thought that her former mother-in-law was just as sharp as ever.

“But why?” Shui Anluo did not understand. Her former mother-in-law had already accepted her but his grandmother had refused.

“The Chu family, this family, is not as it seems. You’ll find out in the future,” He Xiaoran replied. She then instructed her to take care of her injury before leaving the ward.

After He Xiaoran walked out, Shui Anluo overheard Chu Ningyi being chastised again before she left.

Chu Ningyi stepped in and Shui Anluo pulled a face at him. He got scolded first thing in the morning, he would certainly be unlucky for the rest of the day.

Chu Ningyi walked over and sat on the side of the bed. He looked at her head and asked, “Does it still hurt?”

Shui Anluo shook her head and immediately sat on his lap, wrapping her arms firmly around his neck. “Explain, I’m listening.”

Chu Ningyi placed one hand against the bed behind him as he held her with his other hand. “Are you sure that you want to listen to my explanation and are not...” Chu Ningyi slowly inched towards her ear and whispered, “Seducing me?”

Shui Anluo heard his seductive words and felt a warm yet familiar sensation. She could not help but shiver.

Chu Ningyi tightened his grip around her waist and said in a throaty voice, “Don’t move.”

Shui Anluo was shaken for a moment. She blinked and slowly lowered her head then...

She blushed!

Shui Anluo could not help but gulp. She swore that she had not done it on purpose.

Chu Ningyi restrained the sudden surge of fire within his body as he stared at the furiously blushing Shui Anluo who was smiling in an embarrassed manner. He could not keep himself from wanting to tease her so he whispered into her ear, “Or are you saying that you’re really seducing me?”

His voice was sexy and deep.

Shui Anluo swallowed her saliva.

She wanted to cry out: “Mother of... Who’s seducing who?”
