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

‘The little darling’s daddy.’

‘This manner of address…’

‘Doesn’t sound too bad!’

Chu Ningyi calmly steadied his emotions before he calmly changed the channel to the news report that he had initially changed out of shock.

Shui Anluo turned around and shot Qiao Yaruan a glare. Whose fault was it that she had to resort to this now?

Qiao Yaruan cleared her throat, feigned calmness and began to bandage her patient’s wounds. However, she really could not hold it in when she heard Chu Ningyi being addressed as the ‘little darling’s daddy’. This was the same as if she had heard Shui Anluo say ‘the father of my child¹‘, it was simply too funny.

When Shui Anluo saw that Qiao Yaruan was no longer laughing, she turned around and continued to speak, “About that… The main point is because we want to realize the value of life then escort Empress Dowager Qiao to the summit of life. That’s why I’m here but my phone ran out of battery, I wasn’t keeping this from you on purpose. Whatever it is, that’s all.” Shui Anluo blabbered on but she was unsure what she herself was gabbing about. She then handed the microphone back and turned around to take over Qiao Yaruan’s duty.

Chu Ningyi scoffed icily. What nonsense was that about realizing the value of life and escorting someone to the summit of life? He really wanted to say, ‘Shui Anluo, why don’t you ascend to the heavens then?’

“Ah, ah, ma….” The little darling ran over and pointed at the person on screen as he babbled away. He knew that person.

Chu Ningyi narrowed his eyes at the little darling who was not even at the height of the television cabinet yet. The baby only stared at him excitedly as if he were asking what was mommy doing in there?

‘How the heck should I know why mommy’s over there?’

The interview had moved to a different location and Chu Ningyi was in no mood to continue watching. He walked over, picked the little darling up from his walker again, and said seriously, “Time for bed.”

Time for bed. The little darling who had run around the entire night was now starting to look for his mommy.

His large eyes could not locate his target. He curled his lips and burst into tears.

Maid Yu quickly put her work down and rushed over. She murmured softly, “Young Master, allow me.”

“It’s fine, you go get some rest,” said Chu Ningyi as he carried the little darling, whose tiny body was twisting and struggling as he cried for his mommy, upstairs.

He had not planned to resolve the issue of the photographs yet. It seems that it would have to be dealt with once that woman returned.

Meanwhile, at the university, Feng Feng early smashed the remote control in his hand to the ground when he saw the news report. That woman had actually run away and had even run off to a place like that. Does she no longer wish to live?

“Hiding from me, eh?” A vicious glint flashed across Feng Feng’s eyes. Qiao Yaruan’s shadow has long disappeared from the television screen but the vicious currents around his body only became denser and denser.

The heavy rain continued and there was a possibility that it might get even heavier. There was a widespread flood below and busy doctors above.

Perhaps because she had settled the matter of the phone call, Shui Anluo was now in a good mood after her first shift. Even though it was still raining outside, she and Qiao Yaruan were at a small corner of the doctor’s rest station, looking up at the pouring rain.

Shui Anluo placed her head on Qiao Yaruan’s shoulder and closed her eyes.

“I’m really sorry about today,” Qiao Yaruan said again.

“Pfft, are you quite done? You’ve said that a hundred times now.” Shui Anluo sniggered and opened her eyes to look outside. “I wonder if the little darling is asleep yet.”

“Hey, how’re things between you and Director Chu now? Have you moved back?” Qiao Yaruan asked curiously.

Shui Anluo shook her head. “I don’t know. It looks like there’s still a lot of issues between us.”

“But you love him,” Qiao Yaruan staunchly declared.

Shui Anluo looked outside and did not reply.
