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

“Wah…”

A sudden clap of thunder echoed in the middle of the night and the little darling woke up in fright.

Chu Ningyi got up and scooped him into his arms. He then reached out and checked the diaper underneath his little buttocks. There was no sign of wetness and no sign of poop. Chu Ningyi turned the light on and gazed at the bawling little baby in his arms.

“You’re my ancestor.” Chu Ningyi frowned as he carried him downstairs. The little darling was most likely hungry, that must be why he had woken up.

Maid Yu had previously prepared some milk and placed it in a thermos downstairs. Chu Ningyi carried the little darling with one arm and picked up the milk with the other arm. “Eat then, ancestor.”

However, this little darling was determined to bawl his eyes out. He was crying in such a heart-breaking manner too.

“What’s wrong, what’s wrong?” Maid Yu rushed out, changing her clothes along the way.

The little darling cried mournfully and soon cried until his throat had gone hoarse.

“Why is he crying so badly? Was he frightened from what happened just now?” Maid Yu finished putting on her clothes and gently patted the wailing baby.

The little darling cried and shrieked, calling out ‘mama’. This time, his cries were much clearer than usual.

Chu Ningyi frowned even more as he looked up at the storm outside. His heart was now filled with even more worry.

The little darling bawled and flung his tiny arms around in the air.

“Ding ding…”

The phone on the table rang to notify that a message had arrived. Chu Ningyi carried the little darling over and opened the message. There were two pictures again this time, one was a picture of Mo Lusu supporting Shui Anluo and another was a picture of Mo Lusu piggybacking Shui Anluo.

Chu Ningyi tightened his grip around the phone. The rain outside has grown even heavier. The sound of it made him even more worried.

He did not know who had sent the messages but he believes that that person’s objectives could not be achieved because he did not have time to worry about why she was with Mo Lusu in the first place. Instead, he was worried about her safety.

“Is that woman courting death?” Chu Ningyi cursed softly. It was raining so heavily. What was she doing, going into a wild, mountainous country?

Chu Ningyi gently patted the little darling’s body before handing him over to Maid Yu. “Maid Yu, take good care of the little darling,” Chu Ningyi instructed. He lowered his head and kissed the little darling’s cheek. “Wait for daddy to come back.”

“Ma…” The little darling was still puffing.

“Daddy will bring mommy home,” Chu Ningyi said, reaching out to wipe his tears. “I’ll bring that worrisome mommy of yours home.”

“Ge…” The little darling sobbed and let out a hiccup, he would stop crying now.

Chu Ningyi wiped his tears before he turned around and left the house.

Maid Yu carried the little darling and sent him to the door. She turned around to look at the storm outside, prattling on continuously. “You must protect the Young Madam and make sure nothing happens to her. Oh god, you must protect the Young Madam and make sure nothing happens to her.”

“Noth… noth…” The little darling spoke in a shivering voice. It was not clear but understandable. He was imitating the last few words in Maid Yu’s sentence — the word ‘nothing’.

The second round of the storm was invading again and it was out of the expectations of the weather report.

Shui Anluo and Mo Lusu only fully understood how truly arduous the place Lan Xin had mentioned was when they arrived.

The flooded village was situated at the center of a ravine. In order to cross over, one would need to go through a slope but there was a powerful flood at the bottom of the slope. Many of the armed forces were still saving villagers near the exterior. Shui Anluo knew that this was the last village. As long as everyone inside could be saved, the remaining issues would be in the hands of the doctors.

“Stay here, I’ll go and take a look,” Mo Lusu said loudly, this was the only way for Shui Anluo to hear him.
