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

Shui Anluo was shaken but she quickly turned around, unlocked the door and got out of the car. There was no trace of reluctance in her movements at all.

Chu Ningyi looked up at Shui Anluo as she left. He slammed the steering wheel violently and started the car. His car sped off like an arrow from a bow as a car behind him hid in the darkness.

Shui Anluo watched him drive away and looked up into the sky, trying her best to hold back her tears.

He would always be the first person to rush over whenever Yuan Jiayi was in trouble. All because Yuan Jiayi’s family had died for him so he has to be responsible for Yuan Jiayi.

What a classy reason that was!

He would always question her relationship with her senior brother but he never stopped to think that he still has an unmarried Yuan Jiayi by his side.

Luo Xuan saw Shui Anluo get out of the car from a distance and watched as Chu Ningyi left. He then started the engine and slowly approached Shui Anluo.

“Get in, I knew he’d dump you,” Luo Xuan wound the window down and spoke with clear understanding.

Shui Anluo looked down at him, took a deep breath, then scoffed, “I say, queer uncle, do we know each other?”

Luo Xuan smirked. “If I really am a queer uncle, do you really think you’d be able to stand here? Besides, you should understand that it’s now late at night, it’s not safe for a young maiden like you to stand out here all alone¹.”

“That’s none of your business,” Shui Anluo snapped. She then walked past his car and reached out her hand to hail a cab.

Luo Xuan stroked his chin and stared at Shui Anluo who was getting into the cab. “How very defiant,” Luo Xuan remarked as he started his engine and tailed the cab.

Chu Ningyi made a turn at the intersection and received a call just as he was waiting at a traffic light.

“Luo Xuan?” He frowned. “I understand, protect the Madam,” Chu Ningyi instructed then reached for a white pebble in the front compartment. He smirked.

Shui Anluo got into the vehicle, mentioned the destination, then leaned back against the seat to rest.

“Had a fight with your boyfriend, Miss?” The driver chuckled. It was dark so she could not see his face but his voice was not likable at all.

Shui Anluo did not wish to talk so she did not reply.

However, the driver did not mind and continued trying to strike a conversation. “You seem pretty young, puppy love isn’t good.”

Shui Anluo finally opened her eyes and looked to the front. She could see the man’s features from the front mirror. He had a fierce face and an unkempt beard. There was also the heavy stench of cigarettes in the air. Shui Anluo was suddenly fully vigilant.

“You can just drop me off in front.” Shui Anluo wondered if she had been unlucky enough to have run into an unlicensed taxi.

“But this isn’t the destination, is it?” The driver grinned.

“Can’t I change my mind? Stop the car in front.” Shui Anluo hugged her bag, trying to find something to defend herself.

“Sigh… What’s the hurry, Miss? Look, there aren’t many cars on the road. You won’t be able to get a cab if you get down now, am I right?”

Shui Anluo inched towards the side of the car and forcefully pulled the car door. Unfortunately, the driver had locked the car door from the front. Shui Anluo cursed and reached into her bag to pull out her phone. However, before she could dial the number, the driver suddenly slapped her phone onto the ground.

Shui Anluo tried to pick her phone up but the driver placed his burly hand firmly on Shui Anluo’s shoulder.

“Trying to leave after getting in my car, Miss?” The driver sneered sinisterly. He restrained her with one arm as he looked outside, trying to find a spot to stop the car.

Shui Anluo struggled. “Do you know who I am? You better let me go or else you’ll…”

Before Shui Anluo could finish her sentence, the driver stopped the car and quickly opened the door. He immediately walked to the back of the car and pulled Shui Anluo out from the vehicle.
