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

Chu Ningyi stood next to her and slowly retracted his hand. As it happens, it was now summer. Even though the floor was cold, it was not cold enough to harm someone. Therefore, he has no objections even if she wanted to lie there.

“Get out.” Shui Anluo’s legs were trembling and she groaned indignantly.

Chu Ningyi raised his brow before he bent down and looked at her head.

“Shui Anluo, shall I get a shell for you?” He clearly knew that she was trying to run away yet Chu Ningyi purposely wanted to anger her. He was in a particularly good mood.

In the beginning, it felt as if he had gotten a plate of dumplings that he did not like back. He had liked the dumplings’ pairing dish and after seeing the dumplings day and night, he gradually developed an appetite for her. However, the plate of dumplings was no longer content — ‘ You want to eat me? I simply won’t let you. I want to let someone else eat me’.  In his anger, he had gobbled up the dumplings and the taste was better than he had imagined.

“Get up, let me see if you’re hurt. You’re already ugly ¹ , what happens if you end up disfigured from this fall?” Chu Ningyi said as he reached out to scoop her to her feet.

Shui Anluo buried herself into his arms. She simply refused to lift her head. This was humiliating, so humiliating that it was more humiliating than sex.

Chu Ningyi raised the corner of his lips and stared at the petite little person in his arms. His earlier anger vanished immediately.

She had belonged to him in the past and she still belonged to him now.

Chu Ningyi placed her on the bed but Shui Anluo was like a mudfish. She slid down completely and burrowed herself in the blanket. It was safe to say that she looked like a pupa.

Chu Ningyi stared at her smooth and accomplished movements. This was the first time he had seen her like this. It seemed that she was actually capable of completing something at a fast pace.

“Get out,” Shui Anluo groaned from within the blanket. This was the first time she had seen him immediately after their ‘business’ was complete so Shui Anluo was aggravated by her embarrassment.

“Are you sure?” Chu Ningyi raised his brow and asked, ” Yuan Jiayi is still downstairs. Are you sure you want to let me go down? ¹ ”

Yuan Jiayi?

Shui Anluo shook beneath the covers. Yuan Jiayi was here?

However, since Yuan Jiayi was already here, what was he doing up here? Was he not supposed to spend time with his ex-girlfriend?

Chu Ningyi stared at Shui Anluo who had remained still. He gently patted her pupa body. As for why he was up here, he did not know either. He simply felt that she would be up soon so he had come up to take a look. However, he did not expect to witness such an exciting scene.

“You can rest first, I’ll ask Maid Yu to bring dinner up for you later.” Chu Ningyi thought that she must be really tired. After all, he had clearly seen that she could not stand up properly at this moment.

Shui Anluo listened as the sound of his footsteps receded. Her large eyes darted around a little under the blankets before she violently threw them off her. It was too stuffy.

Why was Yuan Jiayi here?

Was she not supposed to be lame? What was she doing here instead of recuperating?

“The King summoned me to patrol the mountains…”

The bold ringtone rang again. Shui Anluo hurriedly snatched up her phone and answered the call, “Empress Dowager, what is it?”

“Hey, I heard that you aren’t thinking of leaving anymore? Have you made up with the great Director Chu?” Qiao Yaruan said with a grin. She sounded like an old female brothel owner who had managed to sell a maiden off.

“Empress Dowager, you sound like you’ve suddenly left your great throne room and entered the Happy Red Court ¹ , have you noticed that?” Shui Anluo rolled her eyes and remarked. Internally, she was crafting a scheme.
