Chapter 20 - A Threat
Chapter 20: A Threat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shui Anluo’s body shook, she knew that this was the roar of an angry lion.
Chu Ningyi turned around and left the kitchen before he quickly reappeared in front Shui Anluo in just a few strides. He stared at Shui Anluo intently as he said, “You did this on purpose.”
Shui Anluo blinked and stared at him innocently. “What?” She refuses to admit it. She would never admit that she had once planned to understand him anyway.
“These dishes…”
“Don’t you like them? You’ve never talked about what you like to eat. These are my best dishes.” Shui Anluo continued to blink innocently as if to say: ‘Look, I have shown my housekeeping prowess. If you do not like it, you would be causing me grief’.
Chu Ningyi stared at Shui Anluo’s aggrieved expression but he did not believe for one moment that she was unaware of his weak stomach.
This girl must be using deceit to pass the challenge.
“Shui Anluo, your schemes have certainly deepened.” Chu Ningyi’s icy voice rang out in Shui Anluo’s ear.
‘Schemes?’
Shui Anluo’s body shook as a hint of self-loathing flashed across her face. Previously, her father had said the same thing about mother but she could not remain as calm as her mother had been.
Shui Anluo raised her head to stare at Chu Ningyi’s sharp gaze. She smiled as she continued, “Director Chu, did you only just discover this now?”
Her self-mockery strangely caused him to feel fidgety so Chu Ningyi pushed the woman aside. “Eat all the dishes in the kitchen,” Chu Ningyi spoke calmly.
‘What…’
‘Eat all of them?!’
Shui Anluo no longer mocked herself because she had no time.
She had cooked them with all the chilies and peppers that she could find in the kitchen… Could these dishes really be eaten?
“Hehe, about that, Director Chu, you’re the one who hasn’t had dinner. This is for you to eat. For you.” She did not want to eat. After all, her stomach was not all that great either.
“Shui Anluo, if you eat this, I’ll let you visit your mother tomorrow.” Chu Ningyi crossed his hands over his chest. He looked at the vast sea of red and knew how much chili the girl had put into the dishes.
Shui Anluo gently raised her head. “So you were the one who did something to my mother, that’s why she had chased me out!” Shui Anluo was enraged. She thought that it was strange that her mother had acted as if she was chasing her out. Now, it looks like she had found the answer.
Chu Ningyi knitted his brows when he heard the anger in Shui Anluo’s voice. However, Shui Anluo’s words also verified his guess – the person who had given him that photograph was his former mother-in-law, Long Manyin.
Since Long Manyin had sent Shui Anluo to his side, he could tell that there must be someone who was threatening them although they have both left the Shui family.
“Eat it.” Chu Ningyi crossed his arms and did not provide an explanation to Shui Anluo’s accusations.
Shui Anluo clenched her hands as she glared and him angrily.
“Shui Anluo, I’ll give you half an hour. If you’re unable to do this, you won’t get the chance to see your mother.” Since she believes that he was the one who was threatening her mother, why not use that to the fullest?
Shui Anluo’s body was stretched taut. Even her breathing became labored.
Shui Anluo finally calmed down after a short while. She then took a deep breath and lifted her head to look at Chu Ningyi again as she curled her lips. ‘Mother said that I must smile no matter the situation. When you smile, others won’t know that you’re afraid.’
“Alright, keep your word, Director Chu. I’ll eat all of this and you’ll let me see my mother tomorrow.”
Chu Ningyi and Shui Anluo stared at each other. Actually, Shui Anluo was the first person who had dared to look him in the eye. In the past, her gaze had always looked modest but he could only see hatred now.
