Chapter 118: What Do I Have To Be Afraid Of?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shui Anluo walked back to the sofa and sat down. Her hands had clung to her dress firmly the entire time.

If one had the protection of their parents, why would they want to become a hedgehog? However, her father no longer wants her and she has to take care of a little baby. She had no other choice but to become a hedgehog.

Chu Ningyi stared at Shui Anluo who was trembling on the sofa. He was mulling over whether he had said anything wrong but, in the end, he concluded that he had not done anything wrong. Now, Shui Anluo was indeed like a prickly little hedgehog. This was not a good thing for her future.

“Are Qianchen and you in a dispute?” Chu Ningyi decided to abandon his work and talk to her about her issues. If they were really going to continue this, he has to be responsible for Shui Anluo’s future.

“If I told you that she’s causing trouble for me on purpose, would you believe me?” Shui Anluo groaned. Now, everyone thinks that she was a problematic brat who could not be touched. Everyone had believed that hypocrite, Lin Qianchen.

Chu Ningyi gently tapped on the table as he stared at her petite little figure. She was a little girl who did not know how to conceal her emotions and only knew how to counterattack whenever she got hurt. However, she had forgotten that many people mask their true selves in this world.

Most people could only see what was on the surface.

Therefore, she would be the only one beaten and wounded in the end.

Injuring the enemy eight hundred times and getting hurt a thousand times was the silliest method.

“Shui Anluo, you don’t have to hold your thorns up at every turn. Of course, I do hope that you’d hold all of your thorns up tonight,” said Chu Ningyi as he locked the documents in his drawer. Perhaps now was not the right time to hand Soaring Distance Technologies over to her yet.

Shui Anluo had thought that he would chastise her but she did not expect him to say this. She turned back and stared at him curiously.

Chu Ningyi looked up and met her gaze. “No matter what happens tonight, I hope that you remember that you, Shui Anluo, still have me, Chu Ningyi, to support you.”

That sentence thoroughly drummed into Shui Anluo’s heart along with an acidic taste.

It was painful and sour.

She felt as if she had been walking in a desert alone for a long time and just as she was about to die of thirst, he had suddenly appeared to not only give her a glass of water, he even told her that he was here to take her home.

Shui Anluo pursed her lips and lowered her head again, concealing her mildly reddening eyes.

The office suddenly fell silent and they no longer said a word.

A gentle breeze brushed against the window frame. This gentle movement added some soul into the silent room.

At six in the evening, the car stopped right outside the Shui family home.

Shui Anluo got down from the car and stared at the place that she had left for over a year. She lifted the corners of her lips but she did not know how they would look at her once they saw her arrive.

The chauffeur took Chu Ningyi’s wheelchair out. Shui Anluo walked over and helped him into the wheelchair.

Chu Ningyi reached out and held Shui Anluo’s hand. She curled her lips at him as she clutched the audio recording pen in her hand. Today, she was going to take back everything that belonged to her mother for her mother.

“Let’s go,” said Chu Ningyi.

Shui Anluo took a deep breath once again before she turned to the back of the wheelchair and slowly pushed Chu Ningyi inside.

“Shui Anluo, are you scared?” Chu Ningyi suddenly asked.

‘Scared?’

Shui Anluo wanted to ask this question as well. “A hedgehog has spikes all over its body while I’ve got you to protect my softest spot. What do I have to be afraid of?”
