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

Shui Anluo pouted and glared at him as if to say, ‘How can you be like this?’

Chu Ningyi smiled and leaned against the back of the chair, staring at her in an easy manner. He has all the time in the world to waste with her.

Shui Anluo’s large eyes darted around.

“Don’t use your schemes on me or you’ll definitely be the one regretting it in the end,” Chu Ningyi calmly remarked.

Shui Anluo flopped her head onto the table. She confessed that Chu Ningyi was speaking the truth.

Just as Shui Anluo was thinking of ways to send him away, Chu Ningyi’s phone rang again.

Shui Anluo looked up and stared at him curiously as if to ask, ‘Who’s calling again this time?’

Chu Ningyi stroked Shui Anluo’s head and answered the call.

“Hello…”

“Young Master, the property manager arrived to say that they’ve found the former Young Madam’s notebook that she had thrown away. It seems that a cleaning lady had seen the book and felt that it was a good read so she kept it. They just found it so they’ve sent it back.”

Maid Yu was speaking from the other end. He could even hear the sound of the little darling zooming around in his baby walker.

‘Notebook?’

Chu Ningyi looked at Shui Anluo from the corner of his eye, frowned and said, “I understand, just leave it there.”

Shui Anluo felt curious, she thought she heard Maid Yu’s voice.

Chu Ningyi reached out and patted Shui Anluo on the head. He then said, “Remember our agreement, I’ll give you an hour’s worth of space.”

“Mm?” Shui Anluo blinked and watched as Chu Ningyi got up to leave. She leaned uncertainly against the window for a very long time before she saw him start the car and leave.

Shui Anluo reached out and rubbed her head. Why did she feel even more insecure after Chu Ningyi has left?

However, before Shui Anluo could think about why Chu Ningyi had left after Maid Yu’s call, Mo Lusu arrived.

Shui Anluo looked up and stared at Mo Lusu. She jerked and smiled awkwardly as she said, “Senior Brother.”

Mo Lusu nodded and sat opposite her.

“I’m glad you’re alright.” Mo Lusu asked worriedly, “Are your injuries better?”

Shui Anlou nodded, holding her cup. However, she was worried about what to say later on.

“Why isn’t he here?” Mo Lusu looked around but did not see any sign of Chu Ningyi.

When Shui Anluo heard his voice, she knew what he meant. However the tone he used when he said ‘he’ was particularly cold.

There was still some sort of festival between him and Chu Ningyi that she was unaware of.

Shui Anluo took out the menu and raised her hand to call a waiter. She then pushed the menu to Mo Lusu. “Senior Brother, it’s my treat today. Take a look and see what you’d like to eat. Consider it a calming meal from me after giving you a shock.”

Mo Lusu slowly stroked the menu with his long, slender fingers as his heart reached a sense of understanding.

If Shui Anluo and Chu Ningyi have really opened their hearts to each other, knowing Chu Ningyi’s temper, he would naturally not allow Shui Anluo to be so close to him.

Mo Lusu did not open the menu. Instead, he said straightaway, “Sweet and sour pork ribs, whitebait scrambled eggs, kung pao chicken, and give this Young Miss a bowl of black chicken soup. Just two bowls of rice.”

Shui Anluo clenched her fist with each dish that he ordered.

They were all her favorites.

“Senior Brother,” Shui Anluo spoke up. “Order a few more, how can this be enough for you?” Shui Anluo then reached out to take the menu. She added a few more large dishes before dismissing the waiter.

“Senior Brother…”

“Luoluo, let’s eat first, alright?” Mo Lusu spoke in an elegant voice, cutting Shui Anluo off from whatever she wanted to say.
