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

Chu Ningyi glanced icily at her and said, “If you want to talk about Qiao Yaruan, it’s best that you keep quiet.”

Shui Anluo opened her mouth a little then closed it again. Director Chu was a god, he would always know what she was thinking before she said anything.

Chu Ningyi brought her to the Chu Group’s flagship shopping center. The appearance of the pair shocked a few of the staff members, it was always a pleasant surprise for them to see the director. However, the biggest shock was why was the director’s ex-wife here too?

Was she not supposed to be dead?

Shui Anluo followed beside Chu Ningyi sulkily. She had to think of a way to fix the Empress Dowager’s reputation.

“Chu Ningyi, I still think that Yuan Jiayi knows something about the situation. What are you going to do?” Shui Anluo hugged Chu Ningyi’s arm as she looked up at him seriously.

Chu Ningyi was selecting small autumn outfits for his son and looked down at Shui Anluo when he heard this. He only glanced coolly at her and did not say anything.

Shui Anluo saw that he did not speak and she really did not want to walk. Her legs were feeling really sore so her eyes have switched on their radar abilities just like her son. She located a place to rest and conveniently released Chu Ningyi’s hand before scuttering off. She then sat down and felt satisfied.

Chu Ningyi turned around to look at the woman who was sitting on the other side. He smirked but did not go to her.

“Thirty million dollars is no small number. At the very least, Yuan Jiayi won’t be able to come up with that sum for now,” Chu Ningyi said as he continued to look for small clothes.

This should be the woman’s job in the first place but as Shui Anluo watched Chu Ningyi handle the matter, she felt that it was a rather delightful sight.

“Thirty million dollars, so I’m that expensive.” Shui Anluo clicked her tongue.

“Hey, little idiot, listen carefully. Your life is what’s expensive, not you,” Chu Ningyi said and showed Shui Anluo the clothes in his hands.

Shui Anluo shook her head. The little guy did not like dark-colored clothes. He would flick it to the side each time she put it on him.

Chu Ningyi continued to choose good-naturedly.

“That’s my life too.” Shui Anluo scoffed.

“Wrong,” Chu Ningyi said as he held a little bear outfit and turned back to face Shui Anluo. “Specifically, you’re worth thirty million after you die.”

Shui Anluo leaned against the back of the chair and watched as the number of people around them dwindled. She curiously looked even further away and saw some people dispersing a crowd.

“Chu, Director Chu, what are you doing?” Shui Anluo asked, her mouth twitching.

“Too many people, it’s annoying…” Chu Ningyi replied matter-of-factly.

Shui Anluo did not even have the strength to laugh. ‘Alright, he’s the big boss. It’s alright as long as he’s happy.’

“Who’s that? To have so much privilege to book the entire area, why not just book the entire shopping center?”

Just as Shui Anluo was still secretly viewing Director Chu with disdain, a sharp voice suddenly rang out. Shui Anluo was startled and the voice sounded rather familiar.

Chu Ningyi, however, did not seem to have heard it. He only continued to select clothes for his son.

Indeed, not too long after that, Shui Anluo saw a gorgeously dressed Wei Yuanyuan, the delinquent, appear.

Wei Yuanyuan strode over in a shamelessly arrogant manner. When she saw Shui Anluo, she suddenly shrieked, “Ah… A ghost!” She had no time to pick up the clothes that she had dropped on the ground as she quickly ran away.

Shui Anluo clicked her tongue. “Why’s she still so brain-dead after such a long time?”

Chu Ningyi has chosen three sets of outfits for his son. He turned around when he heard Shui Anluo’s words and looked at her, “Indeed, that’s a foundation for you.”
