Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Ningyi raised his brow as Shui Anluo pushed him into the second floor’s living room. Maid Yu had already served the dishes upstairs so they do not need to go down.

“As long as you can avoid making me angry in the next three days, I’ll give you a piece of gossip so big that he’d remain in deep waters and hellfire for a month.” Chu Ningyi stated his request.

“Only three days?” Shui Anluo wanted confirmation as she was unsure. Otherwise, who knows if Chu Ningyi would go back on his word?

Chu Ningyi nodded.

Shui Anluo thought for a while. She then ran back into her room and ran out again. “Here, sign this. A verbal agreement isn’t binding.”

Chu Ningyi frowned. “You don’t believe me?”

“Even amongst brothers, accounts should be settled without ambiguity. What more the two of us?” Shui Anluo replied matter-of-factly.

She did not think about whether she should believe him or not. If she could not even trust her own father, she did not know who else to trust in this world aside from her mother.

Chu Ningyi saw how she had answered in such a matter-of-fact tone without missing a beat. He then lowered his head and looked at the paper in her hand.

After that, he reached out and took the pen and signed his name with flamboyant and cursive calligraphy.

Shui Anluo felt assured upon receiving the affidavit. After all, Chu Ningyi still had some character.

“From now on until the end of the third day, as long as you don’t get angry, I win.” She would go all in so that she could deal with Feng Feng.

Chu Ningyi nodded and Shui Anluo happily sat down. “Let’s eat, let’s eat.”

Chu Ningyi stared at Shui Anluo as she ate. He suddenly remembered that fateful day one year ago when she had called him. That was the first time she had called him after he had gone out of the country for a month.

She had said: ‘ Chu Ningyi, can you come home?’

What had he said then?

‘I’m very busy. I’ll come home once I’m done here.’

She had then ended the call. Soon after, he found out about everything which had happened in the country. His mother had made her sign the marriage annulment papers in a swift and decisive manner then brought it overseas for him to sign as well.

“Luoluo, since you already had me on the phone, why didn’t you explain the situation?” Chu Ningyi asked, acting relaxed.

Shui Anluo’s hand, which had been holding onto her chopsticks, paused. Her mouth, which had bitten into the sweet and sour pork, stopped as well. She looked at Chu Ningyi in curiosity as if to ask what he was talking about.

When he saw the look on Shui Anluo’s face, Chu Ningyi did not know whether he should laugh or cry. It seems like he was the one who could not let go and she had let go of everything long ago.

She could let go because she had not loved him.

This sudden feeling caused him to become very annoyed. He put his chopsticks down and wanted to leave.

Shui Anluo noticed that the situation does not seem right. This guy looked like he was about to get angry. How could she let that happen?

Shui Anluo hurriedly bit into the sweet and sour pork in her mouth before putting her chopsticks down and quickly held onto Chu Ningyi’s wheelchair. She stared at him with her large, limpid eyes pitifully. “Director Chu, what’s up with you? Can we change the agreement to say that it doesn’t count if I never provoked you intentionally?” She was only eating. How could it be her fault if this guy was unhappy?

Chu Ningyi looked at her ass-kissing face. Indeed, she had not provoked him!

Shui Anluo felt frightened at the sight of how he was looking at her. Had she actually provoked him somehow?

Shui Anluo secretly twisted around to look at the half-eaten sweet and sour pork on the table before turning back towards Chu Ningyi. “How about this, I won’t eat the food that you like anymore, will that do?”

However, she likes sweet and sour pork too. It seems that she would have to have a word with Maid Yu to secretly leave a few pieces for her. She would just have it in the kitchen.
