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

Shui Anluo curled the corners of her lips and replied with an air of indifference, “No, Miss Yuan, you’ve misunderstood. Director Chu and I simply share a child, that’s all.”

Chu Ningyi frowned again. After all, this was completely different from what Qiao Yaruan had told him. She had said that Shui Anluo wanted to defend her territory but Shui Anluo was trying to leave now.

The doorbell rang again and an uneasy feeling rose in Chu Ningyi’s chest.

Shui Anluo flung Chu Ningyi away from her. She opened the door and who else would be standing at the doorway except for Long Manyin and Luo Yun?

Chu Ningyi finally understood that he had been played by this little girl. She had contacted her mother while he was speaking to Qiao Yaruan.

Long Manyin walked in and saw the wheelchair-bound Yuan Jiayi immediately. Yuan Jiayi nodded in an appropriate manner.

Long Manyin returned the gesture but quickly turned to Shui Anluo, “Have you finished packing?”

Shui Anluo carried the little darling and mumbled, “I’m not taking anything.”

Chu Ningyi continued to frown at the side as he stared intently at Shui Anluo.

Long Manyin nodded and looked at Chu Ningyi. “Since Luoluo still decided to leave with me, I’m sorry that we’ve troubled you during his time. Luoluo mentioned that you’ve given the little darling a name. We’ll be using the name that you’ve given him.”

Long Manyin said this not because she wanted to assure Chu Ningyi but to tell him that even though Shui Anluo was leaving with the little darling, it does not change the fact that the little darling was Chu Ningyi’s son.

Chu Ningyi continued to stare at Shui Anluo and she seemed to be on pins and needles. However, she looked up at Chu Ningyi with a smile on the corners of her lips. “Director Chu, I won’t hinder your reunion with Miss Yuan now.”

Luo Yun leaned against the doorway and did not enter. Instead, he watched the scene with a distant gaze.

Shui Anluo carried the little darling out. Long Manyin then nodded, turned around and followed Shui Anluo.

Chu Ningyi took a step forward and Luo Yun immediately got up and stood in his way. He frowned as he said, “You can’t even manage your own woman, it makes me wonder how you managed to gain your reputation over the years?”

If one listened carefully, one could hear the reproach in Luo Yun’s words. After all, he had only just managed to court his woman back into his arms and hoped to spend some time alone with her. Instead, there was now the addition of a stepchild or rather, a stepchild who was dragging another tiny stepchild along with her. He has now been promoted to the status of being a maternal grandfather.

Chu Ningyi frowned. “If you had taken better care of your woman, you wouldn’t have a problem, right?”

Luo Yun raised his brow. “Think carefully, young man, life won’t grant you another thirty years to make mistakes.”

The thirty years he had mentioned referred to his past with Long Manyin.

Chu Ningyi stared as the elevator door closed in front of him and clenched his fists.

After he shut the door, Yuan Jiayi spoke apologetically. “Is there a misunderstanding with Miss Shui?”

“It’s nothing, you should head home a bit earlier,” Chu Ningyi said. He called Uncle Chu over to send Yuan Jiayi home before he left the house first.

Shui Anluo carried the little darling as she sat in the car. The little darling sat for a moment and when the car had started to move, he immediately activated his little radar. Where was his daddy?

He scanned and scanned but could not locate him.

“Wah…” The little darling opened his mouth and cried unceremoniously.

The corners of Shui Anluo’s mouth twitched as she looked down at her son. She also wanted to burst into tears herself.

Long Manyin reached out and took her maternal grandson. She carried him gently and cooed softly, “What’s wrong?”

“Didn’t you see him scanning around? He didn’t manage to locate his objective so the reception has been lost,” Shui Anluo replied resentfully. This little ancestor had never scanned for her when she was not around.

After Shui Anluo finished speaking, the little darling seemed to sense his mother’s deep resentment and stopped crying.

Shui Anluo turned her head to look out the window and happened to noticed Chu Ningyi who had just walked out from the door. They drove past him but Shui Anluo only silently turned her gaze away.
