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

Chu Ningyi soon relaxed and turned around to face Shui Anluo.

“It’s nothing, I’ll get Uncle Chu to send you home,” Chu Ningyi said and patted Shui Anluo on the shoulder. He then turned around to leave.

Shui Anluo chuckled. “Chu Ningyi, was this fun for you? Just to show me how deep your feelings are for her? You want me to go now that I’ve seen it, is that right?”

“Shui Anluo, what nonsense are you spouting?” Chu Ningyi’s brows froze, he was extremely annoyed.

“Nothing.” Once Shui Anluo had said her piece, she took her son and turned to leave.

Chu Ningyi stared frostily at Shui Anluo as she left. He had already told her that he no longer has any feelings for Yuan Jiayi but Shui Anluo refuses to let it go. This annoyed him.

Chu Ningyi hurried forward and grabbed Shui Anluo’s arm before dragging her to a wall.

Shui Anluo was pressed onto the wall. Luckily, there were not a lot of people in the hospital at this hour.

“What’re you doing?” Shui Anluo growled angrily.

Chu Ningyi slowly drew closer to her. The heated steam from the tip of his nose seemed to beat against Shui Anluo’s face and she felt scorched.

Shui Anluo’s heartbeat was like lightning but she still wanted to act calm.

Chu Ningyi closed in on her until there was no distance left.  ¹ His slightly cold lips then gently pressed against her fair cheek.

“You’re jealous,” Chu Ningyi murmured. His affirmation carried a hint of sentiment.

Shui Anluo shivered and her heart was beating at a thoroughly messed up rhythm at this point.

“Who, who’s jealous?” Shui Anluo gulped. However, she had no way of pushing him away as she was still holding her son.

The smile on Chu Ningyi’s face deepened. He then reached out and stroked her cheek. “So isn’t this a good thing?”

She was jealous, this proves that he was not the only one working hard with these feelings.

Shui Anluo pursed her lips, suppressing her irregular heartbeat.

“What do you think?” Shui Anluo continued to stick her neck out and stared at him, refusing to let herself show any signs of fear.

“Very good,” Chu Ningyi said and his cool lips landed on her face again. He murmured into her ear, “Shui Anluo, I’ve never lied.” Chu Ningyi then slowly increased their distance.

He drew further and further away from her but Shui Anluo’s heartbeat naturally lost its frequency.

“I’ve asked Uncle Chu to send you home,” said Chu Ningyi. He looked down at the little darling in her arms, bringing her here was clearly a lapse in his judgment. ¹  “Luo Ning is too young, it’s not good for him to stay too long in a hospital.”

What a novelty, he was actually giving her an explanation.

Shui Anluo lowered her head and gazed at the little darling. The little guy was sucking his thumb and sleeping soundly.

“Perhaps she’s not what she seems.” Shui Anluo remembered what her former mother-in-law had told her and looked up at Chu Ningyi to say her piece. She then turned around and left.

Chu Ningyi turned back. He watched Shui Anluo as she carried the child and walked away and his gaze darkened.

Uncle Chu picked Shui Anluo up but Shui Anluo did not return to the condominium. Instead, she asked Uncle Chu to send her back to her own home. She needed to speak to Qiao Yaruan.

When Uncle Chu dropped Shui Anluo off, he called Chu Ningyi.

At this moment, Chu Ningyi was in the ward watching over the unconscious Yuan Jiayi. When he received the call, he walked out. After hearing what Uncle Chu had to say, he stayed silent for a while and said, “You can leave first, she won’t be going back today.”

Chu Ningyi then ended the call and looked at the person inside. She’s not what she seems… Who isn’t wearing a mask in this world aside from Shui Anluo? Even Qiao Yaruan, whom she holds in high esteem, carries a mask to shield the issues that weighs on her mind, right?
