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

Chu Ningyi escorted Shui Anluo to meet a few important business associates. He wanted to make a point so that every business associate knows that Director Chu’s Xiao Luoluo was still young and could not be bullied.

Shui Anluo watched as he chatted with them as he held her hand.

Actually, Chu Ningyi does not enjoy social interactions. Even when he attended parties in the past, he had always just sat in a corner alone and as he watched everyone indifferently. He would leave before the party was almost over.

Today, he has pretty much managed the entire venue.

“I’m going to the washroom,” The more Shui Anluo thought about this, the more suffocated she felt. She shook Chu Ningyi’s hand away without a second thought and headed to the washroom.

Chu Ningyi frowned as he watched Shui Anluo leave. Why was it ineffective?

However, this was what Qiao Yaruan had instructed him to do. He did not seem to have done anything wrong so why was she still unhappy?

Shui Anluo walked into the washroom, stood in front of the mirror and stared at herself.

“Hey, what do you think? Director Chu’s rather chatty today. Previously, whenever anyone spoke to him, he would only grunt a reply. Today, he’s answering all our questions.”

The washroom was a place of gossip.

“Didn’t you see the woman next to him? That’s Shui Anluo. Apparently, she’s the little prince’s mother. She even had a photo scandal not too long ago but someone took care of it.”

“Oh, that’s her. She looks so pure that this is really unexpected…”

“So many unexpected things, perhaps she’s skillful in bed?” A woman giggled in the washroom.

Shui Anluo pressed her hands on the sink as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Not too long after, two reflections appeared in the mirror, the two women who had just been gossiping had come out of the washroom.

The two women did not expect to bump into Shui Anluo outside the washroom. One woman in pink was shocked and her expression turned a little unsightly. The woman in blue, who was wearing a short skirt, stared at Shui Anluo with disdain.

Shui Anluo stared into the mirror as the pair approached her. She reminded herself of her purpose for coming here today and held back the urge to splash their faces with water.

Just as the two women were about to leave after washing their hands, the woman in blue stepped on Shui Anluo’s foot. Shui Anluo swallowed the pain and the woman flashed a fake smile as she said, “Oh, sorry, didn’t see you there.”

A wave of extreme agony burst from the top of Shui Anluo’s foot. This woman had worn high heels and she had used her fine stiletto to step on her foot on purpose. One could imagine how painful it was.

Shui Anluo glared at the woman as she left, giggling away. She held back her agony and cried out, “Wait a moment.”

The woman turned back, “What, is there a problem?”

“Yes, there is.” Shui Anluo slowly stepped toward her and tried her best to walk normally. She would never show weakness in front of others.

The woman in blue crossed her arms. She wanted to stand taller than Shui Anluo. Besides, only those with social status could be here or if they had tagged along with a man of status.

Shui Anluo approached her and they were now outside the washroom.

“I don’t think there’s much need for an apology because you’re definitely not going to apologize sincerely.” Shui Anluo stopped about half a meter away from the woman in blue. This way, she would not need to look up to stare her in the face.

“So?” The woman looked at her perfect nails, hiding her disdain as she spoke.

Shui Anluo looked down at her nails and saw that they had been manicured by a professional.

Shui Anluo smirked and slowly opened her clutch which was hanging on her shoulders. However, she continued to speak calmly. “So there’s no need for you to apologize.” Shui Anluo suddenly raised her head, grabbed the woman’s wrist and pulled out a nail clipper from her clutch to snip the woman’s nails off.
