Chapter 536: Stay With Mother

Her mother still cares about her very much.

Mom, Im fine, Shui Anluo said softly.

Long Manyin simply looked at what she could see before she looked up to eye Chu Ningyi with annoyance.

Shui Anluo slowly backed away again as if to s.h.i.+eld Chu Ningyi from Long Manyins glare.

Long Manyin saw the look on her daughters face and knew that she was in love.

Bring the baby to the room first. Come, Luoluo. I have something to talk to you about, Long Manyin said as she led Shui Anluo away.

Shui Anluo turned around and looked at Chu Ningyi. Chu Ningyi nodded.

What, do you now obey him and not me? Long Manyin stared at the look on her daughters face as she asked. There was a hint of jealousy in her voice.

No way, Mom, lets go, Shui Anluo said and hurriedly ushered Long Manyin away.

Chu Ningyi carried the little darling and followed a servant into the guest room which had been prepared long ago. Chu Ningyi found the room very familiar and after a few more glances, he understood why. Long Manyin had hidden herself in this room whenever she was on a video call with Shui Anluo.

Let me know if you need anything, Sir. The servant spoke in Chinese.

Chu Ningyi nodded. Sir,[1] so this was considered to be his wifes mothers home?

The setting of this home was rather large.

Long Manyin led Shui Anluo into her room. Long Manyins room was the bridal chamber so it was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with bridal festivity. Shui Anluo looked at the wedding portrait over the bed. The woman in the picture looked so beautiful that she did not seem to have originated from this world.

You look very pretty, Mother. Shui Anluo exclaimed sincerely. Actually, her father and mothers wedding portrait was quite nice too but her mother was not smiling as prettily as she was now.

Long Manyin wrapped her arms around Shui Anluo and sat her down on the bed. She then reached out and stroked her small face. My daughters little bun face is gone now. Youve been through a lot.

Pretty. Shui Anluo lowered her head and murmured. The tip of her nose felt sour.

Long Manyin held Shui Anluos shoulder and gently patted her on the back. Why would I leave you alone in A City if I didnt have so much to fear?

Shui Anluo reached out and wrapped her arms around her mothers neck. She took a deep breath and said, Mother, I killed someone. Shui Anluod body trembled as she spoke.

Your brother told me, Im so happy that youre able to protect yourself like that, Long Manyin said softly. Luoluo, one shouldnt have intentions of harming another but one should know when to protect themselves. You had done nothing wrong.

Long Manyin gently pulled away from her a little and wiped her tears. Luoluo, would you like to come back to me?

Return to Mothers side?

Shui Anluo looked up. Her tears no longer streamed down her face but she was staring in confusion at her mother instead.

Mother

Chu Ningyi has disappointed me

Its got nothing to do with him, Shui Anluo hurriedly explained. This time, it really wasnt his fault because he has always protected me. Mother, he The more Shui Anluo tried to explain, the more anxious she felt as if she was really afraid that her mother might make her stay.

Dont you want to live with me? Long Manyins gentle voice interrupted Shui Anluo.

Shui Anluo looked up, her face was still streaked with tears.

Staying with her mother meant that she would have to live here. Then what about Chu Ningyi?

But Mother She did not want to leave Chu Ningyi, especially after that incident. She had finally managed to confirm Chu Ningyis feelings for her.
