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

Feng Feng stared at the sorry-looking Qiao Yaruan who was crouching and gasping for breath on the ground. A small part of his heart stirred so he turned around and left.

Chu Ningyi stood at the doorway and watched as Feng Feng disappeared. His pace seemed moderate but Chu Ningyi could tell that he was cutting and running from chaos.

Cutting and running… What was he running away from?

Once Qiao Yaruan had taken enough fresh air, she propped her hand on a wall and rose to her feet. However, as Feng Feng had gripped too hard and hurt her vocal chords, Qiao Yaruan’s voice sounded a little hoarse when she spoke. “Director Chu, thank you for saving my life.”

Qiao Yaruan glared resentfully at the direction where Feng Feng had left. She had known all along that this man was crazy. He was definitely crazy.

Chu Ningyi looked down at Qiao Yaruan as if he was trying to detect something in her face but, in the end, he did not believe that they had had any interactions with Qiao Yaruan in the past.

“Old Fourth can be rude and impetuous, I apologize for what he did,” Chu Ningyi said indifferently yet he did not sound apologetic at all.

Qiao Yaruan waved her hand mildly. “It’s got nothing to do with you, he’s the abnormal one here.”

Feng Feng strode out of the hospital. He kicked and punched the car before he looked at his hand, the hand which had nearly strangled Qiao Yaruan to death.

In that instant, he had really wanted to strangle her to death.

An Fengyang, who was driving over, happened to catch Feng Feng as he left. What was he doing?

Had someone angered him?

Shui Anluo would not wake up so soon so Chu Ningyi had asked An Fengyang to send Qiao Yaruan home. Once Shui Anluo’s condition has stabilized, he would take her home.

An Fengyang nodded. His fiancée was still waiting for him back home so naturally, he would not stay too long.

“I’ve explained everything to the police. Shui Anjiao is being held in suspicion of kidnapping and the bombing. It’s a good bet that she’d probably be locked up for the rest of her life,” An Fengyang said, then checked the time again. “I’ll take my leave now.”

After An Fengyang had escorted Qiao Yaruan out, Chu Ningyi gazed upon Shui Anluo who was lying on the bed. He reached out and stroked her slightly warm forehead. The doctor had explained that this was normal and it was nothing to be alarmed about.

“Mother, Mother…” Shui Anluo’s dreams were not restful. Perhaps it was because she had not been properly soothed after receiving such a fright so she was currently plagued with nightmares.

Chu Ningyi reached out and wiped the sweat off her brow. She was a girl who was still an undergraduate and at the age where she would be looking for her mother once she had arrived home. Yet she had to experience such a catastrophe. Chu Ningyi believed that in truth, she was really afraid.

“Mother, Father…” Shui Anluo mumbled in a careful voice that was tinged with longing.

‘In reality, Shui Anluo was the one who had been hurt the most by that incident from a year ago.’

Chu Ningyi had no comment about what kind of woman Long Manyin was because he has no idea. When it comes to Shui Anluo, he knows that she was a young miss who had been brought up in the lap of luxury and a wife of the Chu family, envied by all in ‘A’ City. Yet, she had lost everything in one night. Long Manyin had not cared so she alone shouldered the cares and burdens for two.

Therefore, he was still in the wrong.

If he had not ended that call from her when she asked for him, if he had only asked her ‘What’s wrong?’

Perhaps the matter would not have turned out this way.

“Baby, the baby…” Shui Anluo murmured, getting even more anxious. Even the amount of sweat has increased.

“The baby is at home, it’s alright,” Chu Ningyi whispered soothingly in her ear. Regardless, he never expected that this day would come, a day when he would treat a woman this way.
