Chu Ningyi turned around to look. It was only a message notification and not a phone call.

Chu Ningyi accepted the milk bottle that Maid Yu had passed to him, popped it in the little darling’s mouth and let him hold it on his own. He then turned around to grab the phone and check the message.

However, when the picture on the screen seeped into his sights, Chu Ningyi narrowed his gaze. Veins slowly popped out from the fingers holding the phone.

In the picture, Mo Lusu was gently covering Shui Anluo up with clothes. There was also a gentle picture of Mo Lusu getting up halfway, propping something against Shui Anluo’s head. Only the two of them could be seen in the picture. Qiao Yaruan, who was sitting in the middle and blocked from view by the back of a chair, could not be seen at all.

An evil flame flared up within his being, completely out of his control.

‘Wasn’t she supposed to be at the hospital?’

‘What was she doing?’

As Chu Ningyi thought of this, he immediately whipped out his own phone and called Shui Anluo. Unfortunately, her phone had been turned off.

The little darling hugged his milk bottle tightly in his arms. His little head wobbled around in his daddy’s arms as if he was very satisfied with his meal.

Chu Ningyi looked down at the little darling and slowly put the vicious currents on his body away. However, his deep breaths clearly indicated how irritated he had felt toward the situation.

The little darling looked up and his large eyes were darting around but he could not bear to let go of the milk bottle in his mouth. He could only stare at his strange daddy.

Chu Ningyi stroked the little darling’s head once. “Your mommy is certainly not the kind of woman who won’t cause worry.” Chu Ningyi gritted his teeth.

The little darling did not understand and could only stare up at his daddy, blinking his adorably large eyes.

By the time Shui Anluo and the rest arrived at the scene of the incident, it was already past eight at night. As their surroundings had temporary light fixtures, it was not that dark.

Shui Anluo sat on the coach and stared at her phone which had run out of battery. She then looked up at Qiao Yaruan.

The corners of Qiao Yaruan’s lips twitched awkwardly. “About that, I never thought it’d be that far or that your phone would run out of battery.”

“I’m going to bite you to death.” Shui Anluo gnashed her teeth at her, grabbed her things and pushed Qiao Yaruan off the vehicle.

At this moment, Qiao Yaruan was feeling remorseful so she was particularly nice to Shui Anluo. She opened an umbrella for her when she got down from the car and helped her to carry her things.

Shui Anluo scoffed arrogantly, it was rare for the Empress Dowager to wait on her.

However, when the pair got off the coach, everyone was standing in a daze next to the vehicle. The rescue station was set up at a particularly high place. There were around ten or more temporary tents nearby. The military police officers were resting there while doctors administered emergency medication.

Shui Anluo and Qiao Yaruan turned around to look. There was a torrential flood below them and only the rooftops of several houses could be seen.

The pair looked at each other, they had never seen anything like this in their entire life.

Qiao Yaruan gulped and asked, “Xiao Luozi, have I made a bad decision?”

Shui Anluo gulped as well. “I think that your moment of realization of the value of life has arrived.” Shui Anluo replied and shook Qiao Yaruan’s wrist forcefully. She then said in a loud voice, “What do I do about my phone? What about my baby?”

Qiao Yaruan grew dizzy from all of that shaking and replied in a trembling voice, “Can’t you just use my phone?”

“There’s no signal here. Once we’ve settled everything, I’ll take you along to find a signal.”

Just as Qiao Yaruan had spoken, Mo Lusu’s cold and clear voice rang out behind the pair. He raised his umbrella and stood next to Shui Anluo as he asked, “Anxious to make a call?”

“Not really.” Shui Anluo smiled awkwardly. In the end, she could only sigh and had no choice but to wait until she had finished with the arrangements before contacting Chu Ningyi. She does not know how badly she would be scolded this time.
