After Shui Anluo had slapped Lin Qianchen, she turned around and returned to Chu Ningyi's side.
Chu Ningyi stroked her head, his indulgence was showing between the lines.
Lin Qianchen watched them from the side of her eye. Her purple countenance now resembles a corpse but the jealousy in her eyes shows that she still refuses to repent and was still feeling jealous.
Chu Ningyi soothed Shui Anluo's emotions and murmured into her ear, "Are you still scared?" She had never mentioned her fear of death but Chu Ningyi knew that she had always concealed it in her heart and needed a source of relief.
Lin Qianchen was that source of relief.
However, Lin Qianchen's confession that she was the one behind all of this had been beyond his expectations. Or perhaps it was also within his expectations.
Shui Anluo shook her head and did not say a word.
Was she still scared?
Perhaps.
She was scared of human nature.
