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

‘Shouldn’t you thank me properly after I helped you to feel more comfortable?’

‘Shouldn’t you thank me properly?’

‘Thank me properly?’

No, that was not the main point. The main point was where he had said that she was feeling more comfortable!

Shui Anluo gasped for breath. His warm breath continued to brush against her face as the breath from her nose brushed against his face.

Shui Anluo could not stop herself from turning to the side, wanting to avoid this seductive moment.

“What did he tell you?” Chu Ningyi suddenly asked.

His tone was casual but Shui Anluo could hear the anxiety in his voice.

What was he afraid of?

Was he afraid that her senior brother would expose their family’s secret past?

“What do you think?” Shui Anluo looked at him once again but her face no longer showed her previous embarrassment. Instead, it held a sense of ridicule.

Chu Ningyi moved his hand from her ear to her cheek. “That my youngest aunt’s demise had been caused by my grandmother? Or did he tell you how much he hates me?”

Shui Anluo shivered, she had not expected him to say it so plainly.

Chu Ningyi released Shui Anluo and sat up on the bed to straighten his wrinkled clothes.

“Do you believe him?” Chu Ningyi asked. He looked up at Shui Anluo who had also gotten up very quickly and distanced herself from him. She was now at the top of the bed as she tidied her clothes.

This time, Shui Anluo pulled the blanket up and covered herself completely. She pursed her lips and asked, “Why does he hate you?” Mo Lusu had not mentioned this to her so she had no idea.

“Why?” Chu Ningyi looked down and straightened his sleeves. After that, he lay down and stared at the ceiling. “If you want to know the reason why, why don’t you ask his father and see what he says?”

“His father?” Shui Anluo felt even more curious. “So, it wasn’t Director Qiao who had forced her own daughter to die?”

“Yes, my grandmother is connected to my youngest aunt’s death,” Chu Ningyi replied calmly as he continued to stare at Shui Anluo who was now full of questions. “But…”

“Wah…”

Before Chu Ningyi could finish speaking, the little darling’s cries echoed clearly from the master bedroom.

Shui Anluo and Chu Ningyi looked at each other before they quickly jumped off the bed to run to the master bedroom.

The little darling’s tiny body was twisting around on the bed with a naked butt as he bawled his eyes out.

When Shui Anluo saw this, her mouth twitched. She then reached out and scooped the little darling into her arms. “How could you leave him like that?”

Chu Ningyi was suddenly scolded but he did not retaliate. Actually, what he really wanted to say was that he had actually given the little darling a shower.

Shui Anluo picked up the disposable diapers that Chu Ningyi had thrown onto the bed and dressed the little darling along with his tiny pants and shirt. The little darling bawled for a good period of time before he finally settled into sobs and hiccups against his mommy’s shoulder, probably because his mommy had scooped him into her arms.

Indeed, a child who has their mother by their side was greatly blessed. The little darling looked up to stare teary-eyed at his abusive daddy. He had woken up because he was freezing!

Chu Ningyi rubbed his nose. This had been a mishap and the first mishap he ever had in this life was definitely this tiny thing.

Shui Anluo hugged the little darling and turned around to leave. When she passed Chu Ningyi, she spat irritably, “Get out of the way.”

Chu Ningyi grabbed Shui Anluo’s wrist and frowned. “Shui Anluo, can’t you speak more civilly?”

“You want me to speak more civilly now? Have you been civil to me in the past?” Shui Anluo felt that she finally understood how much Chu Ningyi had enjoyed speaking to her in the past.
