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

Uncle Chu happened to walk over as Chu Ningyi stepped out from the elevator.

“I just asked the Young Madam and she seems to be searching for some kind of notebook. She’s now in the garbage station.”

Chu Ningyi left the place as soon as Uncle Chu relayed this information.

Shui Anluo stared at the black bags when she arrived at the garbage station but immediately stepped inside despite the putrid smell. She could only prove her innocence once she has found her notebook.

When Chu Ningyi arrived, Shui Anluo was raking through the trash pile violently. Her petite figure looked particularly frail amidst the pouring rain. Her long hair was tangled from the rain and was in total disarray while her white frock was stained black with dirt.

Chu Ningyi took several big strides and walked over. He then grabbed her slender wrist with one hand. “Shui Anluo.”

Shui Anluo’s focus was only on the notebook. When he called her name, she swatted his hand away and muttered, “The notebook, the notebook.”

“Shui Anluo, come out.” Chu Ningyi smelled the piercing stench and his expression turned unsightly. He has more than a thousand ways to clear her name that do not include this self-imposed sadistic method.

“Let go of me, she plagiarized me, I must find that notebook.” Shui Anluo swatted his iron grip away once again. The words she spouted sounded incoherent.

Chu Ningyi grabbed her wrist tightly, “Shui Anluo, who am I?”

“Chu Ningyi, are you quite done? I’m busy, go away,” Shui Anluo snapped angrily. She was single-mindedly fixated on finding that notebook.

“Shui Anluo, why didn’t you come to me despite such a serious incident? Who am I to you?” Chu Ningyi questioned icily.

Shui Anluo looked up, her small face wantonly washed away in the rain.

“Chu Ningyi, I really don’t have time to argue with you now. Let me…”

Chu Ningyi did not wait for her to finish and immediately dragged her away from the rotting stench.

“Chu Ningyi, let me go,” Shui Anluo screamed.

Chu Ningyi looked at the struggling Shui Anluo. He forcefully slammed her against the wall and pressed up against her before kissing her mercilessly on the lips. While it could be considered a kiss, he behaved almost as if he was devouring her.

Shui Anluo moaned. A painful sensation shot from her lips and back at the same time and her large eyes immediately widened as well.

“Shui Anluo, look carefully, who’s this person in front of you?” Chu Ningyi pressed one hand on the wall as the other forcefully restrained her shoulder.

Shui Anluo grew sluggish from the pain. She looked up at the man who was very close to her. After a short while, she replied, “Chu Ningyi, no matter what your issues are, please just let me solve this problem, alright?”

“Shui Anluo, have you ever considered that I could help you fix this problem?” Chu Ningyi smiled icily like the cold rain.

Shui Anluo felt her heart tremble. Her hand, filthy with dirt, clenched tightly in the rain and caused pitch-black muddy water to run out.

“Shui Anluo, you’re always so stupid. Must you hurt yourself until you’re covered with bruises before finding a way to solve the problem?” Chu Ningyi asked icily. However, his tone was also doting.

Shui Anluo turned away as her body grew tense again.

“Yes, I may be stupid but how’s my stupidity any of your business?” Shui Anluo suddenly screamed and forcefully pushed him away. She then slowly squatted on the ground and spoke in a hoarse voice, “I’m stupid, I’m foolish, I’m a hedgehog who goes around poking others at random. No one’s going to like me anyway.”

What else could she do?

The father who loves her would no longer help her. Her mother has a positive outlook on everything and would always calmly accept the insults and curses of others but she could not be like her mother. She could not bear watching others curse at her mother and she could not bear watching others gossip about her little baby.
