303 He's A Gues

A clear breeze fluttered between the pair. Shui Anluo was wearing a short-sleeved cheongsam so it was unavoidable that she felt a little cold.

Chu Ningyi kept staring at her as he watched her every move.

What did he know aside from threats?

Since when were threats the only thing that he knew to use against her?

Chu Ningyi took his coat off when Shui Anluo began to shiver and draped it over her shoulders. He then wrapped his arms around her and escorted her into the car.

"Perhaps, Shui Anluo," Chu Ningyi pushed her into the car but did not leave immediately. Instead, he pressed his hands against the car door with the top half of his body stopped inside the car. "No one else but you is deserving of my threats," Chu Ningyi murmured. He got up, closed the door, and walked past the car to the other side of the vehicle.

When Shui Anluo heard what he said, she trembled a little. This time, it was not because she felt cold but because she had been shocked.

Chu Ningyi had never issued threats because he would simply act!

Shui Anluo thought in self-mockery, does that mean that she was the exception, Chu Ningyi's exception?

After Chu Ningyi entered the car, Uncle Chu drove off immediately.

Shui Anluo stared out of the window, obviously avoiding him.

Chu Ningyi looked down and neatened his shirt button. He did not say a word either.

The silence in the car was stifling. Uncle Chu was even trying to breathe as quietly as possible as if afraid that the sound of his breathing would become a fuse for the flames of this war.

The party has already started when they arrived.

Everyone at the venue had a gossipy look on their faces. The wine glasses were passed around freely with various discussions. As a result, even though the venue was not exactly chaotic, it was unusually chatty.

"For Soaring Distance Technologies to suddenly hold this party, I think it's pretty much spent its forces."

"That's right. Previously, Director Chu had even said that he would shoulder the responsibility for the explosion at Soaring Distance Technologies but yesterday, I heard from a friend that Shui Anluo has moved out from Director Chu's place. I think it's likely that they quarreled and broke up."

"That's right, Soaring Distance Technologies is such a terrible mess. Director Chu is a shrewd man."

"I think if you can avoid going anywhere near this mess, don't. Let's just find a new home."

"I heard that Shui Anluo is also a pretty hot babe but I don't know what she looks like."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, didn't you see her at Shui Anjiao's birthday party? She looks way better than Shui Anjiao."

These were the kind of whispers that Shui Anluo and Chu Ningyi overheard once they step in.

Shui Anluo looked down to conceal the humiliation she felt.

Suddenly, she felt a hand wrap around her own. Shui Anluo looked up but Chu Ningyi did not look at her. He only held her hand as they walked inside.

It has always been like this with these hands. Sometimes, they would save her from a cliff but other times, they would push her off the cliff.

"Director Chu..."

Someone called out to him but when they saw the pair holding hands, the expressions on some faces turned exceptionably marvelous.

Were they not supposed to have broken up? What was going on now?

Chu Ningyi nodded and calmly replied, "I'm just like the rest of you today, just a guest."

Shui Anluo looked up and stared at the person whose words could shake every person in the room. He was saying that he was a guest so was she the host?

He, on the other hand, simply existed to provide the venue.

Chu Ningyi looked down and gazed at Shui Anluo. His eyes were so full of warmth and encouragement that they could drown her.

Shui Anluo pursed her lips and was seized by the urge to run. She does not like this, she does not like this one bit!
