The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting

Qiao Yaruan sent Shui Anluo home. The rain was pouring down heavily outside.

The little darling had been crying incessantly at home. Only when Shui Anluo returned did he sob into his mommy’s arms before calming down.

Chu Ningyi was not at home. Shui Anluo discovered this through Maid Yu. He had left the country last night and they did not know when he would be back.

Shui Anluo felt an indescribable feeling. So he had left the country, that was why he did not show up.

After plotting all this, he had suddenly left the country. She was no match for Chu Ningyi in the end. There had been a hidden agenda in all the good things that he did. Now, was it time for him to cast her away?

Chu Ningyi had indeed gone out of the country because he never expected the audio recorder pen to appear.

Shui Anluo had been very calm about Chu Ningyi’s absence from the country. To her, this was for the best. Otherwise, she had no idea how she could face Chu Ningyi.

Furthermore, this was the best time for her to leave.

The little darling had fussed for the entire night and refused to sleep. The rain continued to pour down heavily outside. Shui Anluo carried him and walked back and forth but the little guy seemed determined to cause a ruckus for his mommy.

“Can’t you stop crying?” asked Shui Anluo. The little darling had cried until his tiny face turned red. Usually, Chu Ningyi would take over whenever the little darling cried and fussed. Now, she knew how difficult it truly was to coax a child.

“Stop crying, your daddy isn’t here.” The more Shui Anluo mentioned this, the angrier she felt. The little darling’s tiny face has grown very red. Shui Anluo was both flustered and frustrated. She was also disappointed as well. This was a child she had given birth to yet she was no match for Chu Ningyi.

In Shui Anluo’s heart, she now hated Chu Ningyi to the bone.

“Oh no, Little Miss, what’s the matter?” Maid Yu heard the child’s cries from downstairs. She quickly changed her clothes and ran upstairs.

Shui Anluo reached out to wipe her tears before replying hoarsely, “Nothing.” She could not depend on the Chu family members because even if she goes back to them, she still had to take care of herself.

Maid Yu was astute and guessed Shui Anluo’s intention based on what she had said. However, she walked over and picked up the child without batting an eyelid. “You can’t keep carrying a child like this when he’s crying,” Maid Yu explained as she carefully placed the little darling on the bed. She then gently patted his little stomach until the little darling fell silent soon after.

Shui Anluo pursed her lips and watched seriously as she learned something new.

Maid Yu left when the little darling fell asleep but she called He Xiaoran as soon as she left and promptly explained everything which had happened.

He Xiaoran was still awake at this moment. She frowned after hearing what Maid Yu had said. “She wants to leave the moment Ningyi isn’t around? What on earth does this Shui Anluo plan on doing?”

He Xiaoran had previously objected to having Shui Anluo as a daughter-in-law. Now, she felt as if Shui Anluo has no common sense. It was normal for a man to go to work.

“The Shui family’s matter is pretty big. It’s natural that Miss Shui would want some comfort and the Young Master isn’t around.” Maid Yu sighed.

“It’s not like the Shui family issue had happened over one to two days ago. If Ningyi isn’t around, that means that he has matters to attend to. Can he actually be expected to accompany her from day to night?” He Xiaoran promptly replied. Initially, she had accepted Shui Anluo because she did not want Chu Ningyi to end up with a man. She never liked Shui Anluo from the beginning and as soon as she made a mistake, she would immediately push the blame onto Shui Anluo.

“Tell her that she can leave if she wants to but she has to leave the child behind.”

Maid Yu shook, she never thought the Madam would be so angry.

“I’ll try my best to persuade her,” Maid Yu hurriedly replied.
