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

Chu Ningyi heard what An Fengyang said and finally aimed his gun away from him. He turned around and fired ten shots in succession.

An Fengyang waddled his butt away again. In the end, it was a brutal 100 points anyway.

When An Fengyang returned, Chu Ningyi had put the gun away.

“What should I have done? Uncle Yuan had died in order to save us that year and Aunty Yuan left soon after. First off, Yuan Jiayi became the orphan she is today because of us. Secondly, I promised Uncle Yuan that I’d take good care of her but I did not stop her from becoming a runway model. Now, she can no longer stand. I’m also at fault here,” Chu Ningyi lowered his head and said.

“Leave Yuan Jiayi to me. I don’t believe that Yuan Jiayi doesn’t have any intentions for you. What about you? Do you have feelings of love or affection for her?” An Fengyang leaned against a training shelf as he asked the question.

“Nonsense.” Chu Ningyi pulled his gloves off and replied with a frown, “Now, all I have for her is my promise to Uncle Yuan.”

“Uncle Yuan’s death wasn’t just one person’s responsibility, I’m connected to this matter as well. Even if you’ve got to keep your promise to Uncle Yuan, it still involves the both of us. That child, Luoluo, has a one-track mind. Back then, when something had happened to her, you had run off to keep Yuan Jiayi company. What did you expect her to think?”

Chu Ningyi’s frown deepened. “I had absolute confidence that I could solve her problems for her.”

An Fengyang rolled his eyes toward the heavens, once again convinced of Chu Ningyi’s low EQ.

“No wonder you can’t manage your own wife,” An Fengyang said disdainfully. “Even if you plucked the stars from the sky, it’s no good if you don’t give it to her yourself.”

Chu Ningyi frowned. From his viewpoint, women were troublesome things.

“Let’s put it this way, if you think that staying by her side is of no use and that silently helping her would be good enough, why are you so concerned whether Mo Lusu is with Luoluo or not?” An Fengyang spoke again. “If you believe that keeping her company is of no use, why had you gone to Yuan Jiayi?”

Mo Lusu was a name that Chu Ningyi did not wish to hear now.

“Think it over carefully, who’s really at fault here?” An Fengyang said and immediately got up to leave. However, he turned around again a few paces away. “Still, it looks like it’s no use even if you do figure it out, Luoluo’s gone.”

Chu Ningyi listened to his irritating words and his expression grew even uglier.

Shui Anluo was gone, gone.

That really was not good news.

On his way back, Chu Ningyi tried to call Shui Anluo again but her phone was still off. He threw his phone onto the passenger’s seat in frustration and pressed down on the accelerator.

‘If you think that staying by her side is of no use and that silently helping her would be good enough, why are you so concerned whether Mo Lusu is with Luoluo or not?’

‘If you think that staying by her side is of no use, no use, no use!’

Chu Ningyi stopped his car and sat there for a while before getting down. The phone he had called was still turned off. He never thought that this day would come when he, Chu Ningyi, would be unable to contact someone.

When Chu Ningyi returned home, Maid Yu had not left a light on for him and he was too lazy to turn the lights on anyway. He simply walked upstairs in the dark.

Chu Ningyi walked up, step by step, and each step that he took was incomparably heavy.

‘If I think that staying by her side is of no use?’

‘Why had I gone to Yuan Jiayi?’

‘So, in the end, I’m the one at fault?’

Chu Ningyi walked forward, step by step, and a soft light slowly came into view in the darkness. He heard the vague sound of the little darling’s hum and whipped his head around to see a small sliver of softly glowing light from the guest room.
