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

Feng Feng smirked icily.

“Did you know that after that incident happened, the first thing my parents did was to send me back to ‘D’ City? They had then rushed to the older sister’s house in ‘A’ City but that older sister’s family refused to see them. One week later, someone appeared at my home and asked my parents not to go to their house anymore. He asked my parents to keep everything about her from me because that had been her dying wish. She wanted me to live happily,” Qiao Yaruan said and crumbled completely, crying and gasping into Shui Anluo’s arms.

Shui Anluo held her tightly in her arms but could not hold her own tears back as well. In truth, she did not know Qirou very well but from what she could remember, she was a very gentle older sister.

A very gentle girl who had smashed everyone’s expectations when she had entered the police academy.

“Yaruan, since Qirou had hoped for her family to do this, that proved that she had hoped that you would live a good life.” Shui Anluo soothed her softly. Qiao Yaruan’s cries broke her heart.

Something flashed across her mind in one shot. It included a bus but she could not catch her thoughts due to Qiao Yaruan’s sobbing.

A corner of Feng Feng’s heart moved as he listened to her cries from outside the door. However, it was all concealed by the hatred n his heart. Did she really think that she could redeem herself just from crying like that?

If crying could bring his Qirou back, he would rather cry his eyes blind.

Her cries caused him to feel troubled so Feng Feng turned around and left in the end. He would not let this issue rest so easily. He would take everything that Qiao Yaruan owed Qirou, all of it.

Qiao Yaruan drank all the beer and cried herself into exhaustion before falling asleep.

Shui Anluo believes that this incident had weighed her down for the past seven years. No one could have known that she had found out about this despite their best efforts to keep it from her that year.

Shui Anluo tucked her in and stayed by her bed as she watched over her. However, she still decided to call An Fengyang in the hope that he would be willing to speak to Qiao Yaruan face to face. There was no better candidate than him.

An Fengyang listened to what Shui Anluo had to say and soon replied, “So it really was her.”

“Beautiful Brother, she really blames herself so I think…”

“Mm, I’ll have a talk with her when I get the chance. She had nothing to do with this matter in the first place. It was Qirou who…” An Fengyang stopped and did not continue. “Alright, I’ll take note of this.”

“Thank you, Beautiful Brother.” Shui Anluo thanked him sincerely on Qiao Yaruan’s behalf.

“Silly girl, why would you need to thank me?”

Shui Anluo ended the call and turned around to look at Qiao Yaruan who was still weeping in her sleep. This woman, who had protected her all this time, has a wound that she could not overcome.

It was five in the afternoon when Chu Ningyi arrived to pick Shui Anluo up.

Shui Anluo stared at Chu Ningyi who had appeared in her dormitory and exclaimed in disbelief. “You, how did you get in here?” This was a female dormitory and even though it was less strict during the vacation period, the campus would reopen the day after tomorrow so the dorm matron would have rung the alarm bell by now.

Chu Ningyi frowned as he measured the dormitory up. It reeked of alcohol. This was his first time here.

He remembered that Shui Anluo had mentioned that four people shared a room in the dorm. There were two other dorm mates aside from Qiao Yaruan, who had talked about her behind her back. Chu Ningyi scanned the room with an irritated look on his face.

His eyes landed on the bed across from Qiao Yaruan’s which had two little teddy bears. They looked rather familiar.
