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

Demi… Demigod?

The corners of Shui Anluo’s mouth twitched as she stared at Chu Ningyi in disbelief. Was he joking around with her now?

Chu Ningyi pinched her face again. In order to avoid biting her, he finally released the woman from the wall. He then placed one hand on her shoulder and calmly explained, “Jiayi will never be able to stand up again, that’s why she’s coming back to ‘A’ City. She has nothing to do with me.”

Shui Anluo paused. Half of Chu Ningyi’s weight was pressed down on her body mostly because he could not support himself on his injured leg anymore. Therefore, Shui Anluo did not push him away and helped him out instead.

“From that fall?” Shui Anluo could not help but ask. She had only tripped on the runway, how did she end up being crippled from that fall?

Also, he had abandoned Yuan Jiayi and returned to ‘A’ City despite her injury. Does that mean…

“Why did you suddenly come back? Shouldn’t you be by her side at a time like this?” Shui Anluo decided not to overanalyze it. In case she was mistaken, she would still end up getting hurt so she would rather ask for a straight answer.

Chu Ningyi raised his brow and stared at Shui Anluo who was trying her best to support him. “What do you think?”

Shui Anluo looked down and rolled her eyes as she silently cursed him. ‘ I didn’t want to make an assumption which was why I’d asked you, alright? Yet this man had gone ahead and turned the question back at me.’

“I don’t know,” Shui Anluo promptly replied and immediately threw him onto the bed. She then bent down and elevated his leg. During the past half a month, he had indeed taken good care of his leg but had overexerted himself during Yuan Jiayi’s accident. After he got back, he then had to manage Shui Anluo’s issues so his leg was now a little inflamed.

Shui Anluo pursed her lips as she looked at Chu Ningyi. “I’m getting a herbal plaster so don’t move. Otherwise, don’t blame me if your leg ends up becoming crippled.”

Chu Ningyi watched Shui Anluo as she left then looked at the sleeping baby. The drip was still going and the little fellow furrowed his brows. Chu Ningyi furrowed his brows as well. The little one must be very uncomfortable.

Chu Nigyi reached out and carefully picked the baby up to stroke his little face. Even though the baby’s features were like his, the shape of this little face was the same as Shui Anluo’s bun-shaped face.

This child was a miraculous existence to Chu Ningyi. He had never witnessed his birth yet his son had appeared before him all of a sudden.

Chu Ningyi lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on the baby’s little head. The little fellow would always smile whenever he saw him. Now, he was sickly and disorientated. Chu Ningyi’s heart ached. This illness was so obvious that he could not neglect it.

When Shui Anluo came back and stepped through the door, she saw Chu Ningyi who was carrying the little darling.

Shui Anluo knew that there were some facts that she has to recognize. Chu Ningyi was a man who would take care of his family. She could tell based on the love he has for the little darling.

He has money and power, and he was also good-looking. He was the prince of ‘A’ City but his conduct was very unlike that of a hedonistic son of a rich family. He was not girl-crazy and most of his time was spent on work. So, at one point, ‘A’ City had assumed that Chu Ningyi was gay. Not many people were very surprised when Chu Ningyi and An Fengyang had announced that they were coming out of the closet.

After all, when such a perfect man does not have a woman by his side, he would definitely have a man instead.

That man was the equally-matched An Fengyang. Naturally, everyone felt that it was expected.

“What’re you standing there for?”

Just as Shui Anluo was in a daze, Chu Ningyi suddenly spoke up.
