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

Shui Anluo was instantly defeated. Big Brother, you’ve won. You’ve really won, is that not enough?

Maid Yu could not stop laughing in the kitchen. There were even tears forming in her eyes now.

Indeed, the Young Master was much cuter whenever he was with the Young Madam.

Shui Anluo finally finished her dinner in her uncomfortable state though the food pricked at her internal injury.

The little darling had smiled the entire time as if he did not think that his mother being subdued was not a bad thing.

After dinner, Shui Anluo took the little darling to give him a bath. This kid’s mysophobia had most definitely come from his daddy. He must have a bath before going to sleep every night or he would cry and make a fuss.

Chu Ningyi went to the study to deal with the matters from earlier today. He then headed to Shui Anluo’s bedroom.

“Say Mommy, Mommy…” Shui Anluo patiently taught her little fool but the little darling would only flash her a silly little smile.

“Silly,” Shui Anluo scoffed as she carried him out of the water.

Chu Ningyi was about to walk in when Shui Anluo’s phone, which had been placed on the bed, rang suddenly.

Shui Anluo was in the middle of wiping the little darling dry when she heard her phone ring. By the time she carried the little darling out, someone had already answered the phone.

When Chu Ningyi picked up the call, he knitted his brows.

Shui Anluo was initially unhappy about him answering her phone call but when she saw the look on his face, she felt a little scared.

After Chu Ningyi ended the call, he turned back and looked at a worried-looking Shui Anluo. “Jiayi had scalded herself with hot water, she’s now at the hospital.”

Shui Anluo stared at the man who had then walked out after saying his piece. She was still in a bit of a daze.

Yuan Jiayi had burned herself?

Why had she called me?

If she really was like how mother-in-law had described, won’t this be a great opportunity for her to seek comfort from Chu Ningyi?

Shui Anluo was confused and she could not figure it out.

“You’re still in a daze? It’s time to go!” Chu Ningyi appeared at Shui Anluo’s doorway again but this time, he had already changed his clothes.

Shui Anluo turned back to look and secretly cursed. After all, this great master had gone to change his clothes. She thought that he would run out immediately after hearing about Yuan Jiayi’s incident.

Indeed, the flashy Director Chu would never forget a change of clothes before going out.

Shui Anluo quickly changed her clothes and changed the little darling into his outside clothes. She had decided to bring him along. Otherwise, he would make an especially big fuss before bed.

Shui Anluo stepped out from the bedroom and Chu Ningyi reached out to take the little darling.

Shui Anluo’s arms were empty as she watched the man carry the little darling and turn away.

He had said that Shui Anluo had the most powerful talisman.

That talisman was her child.

Shui Anluo shook her head, unable to bear it and cast away the bitterest part of her heart. She then quickly caught up to them.

Chu Ningyi had kept his head down and cooed at the little baby all the way to the hospital. Shui Anluo stared at his fingers in amusement. She remembered that during her second semester, Qiao Yaruan had become obsessed with psychology and had brought heaps of psychology books back to the dormitory. Shui Anluo had read one of these books.

When a person was anxious, it would usually show on their fingers.

Shui Anluo stared at his large hand which was wrapped around the little darling. Anyone who saw his slender, fair fingers and defined joints would wish to play with them.

However, what Shui Anluo observed was that the space between his joints had remained the same for ten minutes and did not move.

Hence, it was undeniable that Chu Ningyi was anxious.

He was anxious because of Yuan Jiayi.

Shui Anluo forced herself to turn away and propped her chin up to gaze upon the neon lights outside. Regardless of how well Chu Ningyi concealed himself, these little details had cruelly betrayed him.
