“Are you going to leave just like that?” Luo Xuan asked as he leaned against his car.

Shui Anluo lazily turned her head back to him and chuckled indifferently. “My mother told me not to talk to strangers.” After saying this, Shui Anluo walked to the side of the road to hail a cab.

“Your man seems to be with someone else.” Luo Xuan smiled.

“He’s only the father of my child, not my man.” Shui Anluo gritted her teeth as she replied. She then turned back to look at Luo Xuan. “If you’re here to watch a show, I’m very sorry, I won’t start a bitch fight with another woman over a man.”

“Why? Because he’s not worth it?” Luo Xuan raised his brow.

Shui Anluo turned back and stared at the handsome man from top to toe. “Because I have no interest in conducting a good show for you.” Shui Anluo raised her hand and hailed a cab after she had said her piece. However, before the cab could stop, Luo Xuan had grabbed her wrist.

“Little girl, are you really going to leave like that?” Luo Xuan chuckled.

“Help, assault!” Shui Anluo suddenly screamed. Her reaction was so quick that it was beyond Luo Xuan’s expectations.

Chu Ningyi, who was pushing Yuan Jiayi inside, overheard Shui Anluo’s screams and immediately turned around. He immediately spotted Luo Xuan who had grabbed her wrist and the little girl jumping around screaming assault.

“Jiayi, I’ll ask someone else to send you back,” Chu Ningyi said and handed her to a nurse next to her before he quickly walked out.

Yuan Jiayi watched him as he left and twisted her clothes hatefully. ‘That girl, Shui Anluo, had definitely done that on purpose!’

Luo Xuan stared at the flailing little girl in front of him as black lines appeared all over his body. ‘When did I ever assault her?’

However, before Luo Xuan could make another move, the woman in his grasp was pulled away.

Luo Xuan looked right into Chu Ningyi’s eyes.

“Mister Luo, please have some dignity,” Chu Ningyi said in a bleak tone.

Shui Anluo immediately hid behind Chu Ningyi and pulled a face at Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan came to an immediate realization, what a great... Little girl!

She had managed to silently manipulate him.

She never had any real intentions of leaving but she was also not so stupid enough to run to Chu Ningyi’s side and interrogate him over his reasons for being here. However, she also concluded that he would not allow her to leave so soon so it had given her an opportunity to create a fuss.

As it were, Chu Ningyi, who was in the process of entering the hospital, happened to hear her voice.

This way, she had not needed to use her position as the first wife to interrogate him. She managed to maintain her image and made Chu Ningyi come over by drawing his attention to her. This also allowed her to temporarily escape Chu Ningyi’s questions on her reasons for being here as well.

He had indeed underestimated this little girl. She looks so harmless yet was more sly than a charcoal briquet.

Luo Xuan shrugged and looked at the little girl who was hiding behind Chu Ningyi. “What do you mean, Director Chu?”

Chu Ningyi looked down at the girl who was clutching onto his arm. “I was just standing here when this handsome uncle walked over and grabbed me. I didn’t do anything wrong.” Shui Anluo pursed her lips and complained.

‘Handsome... Uncle!’

Luo Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, he was only ten years older than her.

Chu Ningyi raised his brow, his mood has strangely gotten better. She had made a good choice in addressing Luo Xuan as ‘uncle’.

“Mister Luo, my Luoluo is still young. There have been too many pedophiles running around this year so it’s best to be on guard.” Chu Ningyi spoke with indifference and softness.

Shui Anluo was secretly enjoying this. The words that Director Chu had used gave Luo Xuan no room for retaliation.

If he retaliated, Director Chu might accuse him of being a queer uncle. If he did not retaliate, he would have admitted that he was a queer uncle.

The more Shui Anluo thought about this, the more she enjoyed it. As long as Director Chu did not use his poison tongue on her, she was happy.
