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

Shui Anluo sat on a rug on the floor as she stared at the small desk lamp then at her humming son. She was still holding the report that she was writing in her hand. She was actually staying so she had to face the issue that she had mentioned to Qiao Yaruan. Hence, this report was particularly important.

“Little darling, I beg you, please sleep and let Mommy finish this bit of amendment, alright?” Shui Anluo was close to kneeling before her own son.

However, the little darling continued to hum. He was in newly changed diapers and he just had his milk. His head was not hot either and his large eyes darted about. Once his scanning failed, he began to hum again.

“Daddy isn’t home, let’s not search, okay?” Shui Anluo threw herself on the bed and thumped against the mattress. She was close to death. The little darling had slept a bit when he got home but he was no longer sleepy.

Chu Ningyi carefully pushed the door open and looked at the woman who was crouched next to the desk lamp by the bed and his son who was kicking his little legs in protest. At that moment, Chu Ningyi could see their faces very clearly despite the dim light.

“Please, please, please…” Shui Anluo crouched next to the bed and mumbled to herself yet the little darling refused to give face to his mommy. He did not cry and just continued to hum. Sleep did not exist for him.

Chu Ningyi softened his footsteps and slowly scooped the little darling into his arms.

A strong light glinted in the little darling’s large eyes because he had located the object he was scanning for.

Chu Ningyi looked at the report in Shui Anluo’s hand and furrowed his brows. “What’s this?” At first glance, it was a rare sight to see her use such professional terminology in writing.

“What the…” Shui Anluo was shocked. She immediately jumped and stared at Chu Ningyi who had appeared from God knows where.

Chu Ningyi stared at the cheek which had appeared in front of him and curled his lips. Only a day and a night had passed when he had been played by this little girl.

“You, why have you…” Come home so soon?

Conventionally speaking, when Chu Ningyi was in such a bad mood, he would have gotten drunk all night. Why was there not a single trace of alcohol on him?

Shui Anluo looked down and could not stop her mouth from twitching. Indeed, she did not have the right to make him get drunk.

“I thought you’d left?” Chu Ningyi carried the little darling with one hand. The little darling was now cuddled against his daddy’s shoulder and was slowly falling asleep. When Chu Ningyi spoke, his voice carried a gentleness that he himself never noticed.

Shui Anluo was currently indignant so, naturally, she had not detected it.

“You want me to leave to make room for Yuan Jiayi, right? Let me tell you this, I refuse,” Shui Anluo said and stared haughtily at Chu Ningyi. She was afraid he might say something horrible so she had spoken first.

Chu Ningyi stared at Shui Anluo who looked very much like a little hedgehog. A sense of caution lay within her haughtiness. He admits it, he had fallen this time and had fallen into this little girl’s hands.

Chu Ningyi did not speak and only stared with an inexplicable look in his eyes at her. Shui Anluo could not help but shiver. She had shamelessly returned and Chu Ningyi could not possibly be thinking of chasing her out again.

“Shui Anluo, let’s give it a try. Let’s start by dating,” Chu Ningyi suddenly replied.

A tremor ran through Shui Anluo’s body. She could not see Chu Ningyi’s expression in the dim light but his words were enough to shock her.
