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

‘What a coincidence, I’m not a good person either.’

When Shui Anluo heard this, she chortled with laughter. However, she was also crying as she laughed.

How could she not love a man like that?

There was no better love than this: If you are vicious, I am vicious too; if you are a bad person, I happen to be a bad person too.

Chu Ningyi gently patted her back, soothing her collapsed mental state.

Shui Anluo raised her head from his shoulder though she kept her arms around his neck. She said hoarsely, “Why won’t you tell me that you love me?”

Chu Ningyi raised his brow but lowered his head to kiss her on the lips, using the truth to answer the question.

A flock of seagulls flew into the sky and shot across the horizon. It almost seemed like they had streaked across the final dark cloud between them.

Henceforth, if you kill someone, I would support you. If you start a fire, I would add fuel for you.

Shui Anluo felt much better after a good cry.

Chu Ningyi sat on the beach and Shui Anluo simply lay on his lap as she played with the slender fingers on his left hand.

“Do you find me too vicious? Actually, I didn’t think that she’d be killed,” Shui Anluo muttered softly.

“She willingly took the blame for someone else’s crime, who’s to blame?” Chu Ningyi calmly replied as he slowly stroked her fine hair with his right hand.

“Who did she take the blame for? Was it Yuan Jiayi or… Lan Xin?” Shui Anluo asked faintly.

Chu Ningyi looked down and gazed at her. He smirked and bent down to plant a kiss on her lips. He should have thought of this long ago. In truth, she knew everything, she only never said it out.

Her little brain-dead actions were actually the smartest tactics. She only showed what she wanted others to see.

Luckily, she has now opened her heart to him completely.

“There’s no definite evidence for now. After all, both of them were at the hospital.” Chu Ningyi analyzed it for her.

“Actually, it was ten in the morning when I called the Empress Dowager. She probably hasn’t gone to make her rounds then. She should be closer to Lan Xin at the time.” Shui Anluo looked up at Chu Ningyi.

Chu Ningyi sighed. “Are you that certain that someone could have overheard that phone call?”

Shui Anluo shook her head. “I’m not sure but I do know that regardless of whether the phone call had been overheard, the end result is of no loss to me. If it was overheard, I’ll be able to find her associate and get rid of any potential trouble in the future. If the conversation was not overheard, I’ll be able to get rid of the mastermind who had tried to kill me though I might not be able to find that source of potential trouble.”

“Then what if there was no associate?”

“Then isn’t that a coincidence? Naturally, she won’t be able to find anyone to take the blame for her. She’ll still end up being defeated by you,” Shui Anluo said matter-of-factly.

Chu Ningyi was in shock and only spoke after a long pause. “You do know that doing this puts me under a lot of pressure, right? I still prefer the brain-dead version of you.” At least she could be controlled by him.

Shui Anluo gritted her teeth and glared at him. However, due to the fact that she had just finished a good cry, it did not look like a glare but angry resentment instead.

Chu Ningyi felt provoked by the look in her eyes and immediately lowered his head to capture her lips. It seems that this was the only way for him to relax.

Shui Anluo moaned but did not avoid his invasion. She rapidly returned to her senses when his fiery hand stroked her body and forcefully pushed him away to a proper distance. “There are people.”

How could he have forgotten that they were at the beach? She could not bear to lose face here.

Chu Ningyi raised his brow then murmured into her ear, “So it’s alright if there’s nobody around?”

To break it down, Chu Ningyi could be considered as a man of self-restraint. Ever since Shui Anluo had returned, they had only done it once and it had been when Shui Anluo had nearly left with Long Manyin.

Shui Anluo’s face was now furiously red. How could she fail to understand what he meant?

However, before she could retort, Chu Ningyi quickly stood up. He then carried her into the car which was parked at the shore immediately.

“Hey…” Shui Anluo groaned softly, suddenly realizing that Director Chu was not teasing her. He was staging an over-eighteen act and most importantly… It was in the car!

“About that, Director Chu, I’m still a kid,” Shui Anluo suddenly said.
