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

Mo Lusu stared at the vexed look on Shui Anluo’s face. He tightened his grip around his umbrella but did not say a word.

Qiao Yaruan quickly hugged Shui Anluo and tried to soothe her. “I’m sorry, I really didn’t know that it would take that long.¹”

“Hmph…” Shui Anluo huffed sassily.

Mo Lusu stared at the quarreling pair who were running to the other side and his eyes darkened.

Lan Xin got down from the vehicle to find Mo Lusu staring at Shui Anluo’s back with deep longing. She clenched her fists as she stepped away from the vehicle. “What’re you still doing here? Aren’t you going to make your way over?”

“It’s nothing?” Mo Lusu calmly replied and turned to make his way over.

“Mo Lusu, what does she have that I don’t?” Lan Xin suddenly cried out with a desolate tint in her voice.

Mo Lusu paused and turned around to stare at the woman holding the umbrella in the rain.

From the front, Shui Anluo and Qiao Yaruan overheard her cries and could not help but paused as well. However, they did not turn back.

“I think she’s your love rival…” Shui Anluo whispered into Qiao Yaruan’s ear.

Qiao Yaruan was momentarily dazed. If her guess was right, by ‘her’, Lan Xin had meant Shui Anluo but Shui Anluo had no idea.

Qiao Yaruan pursed her lips. “Pfft, Senior Brother doesn’t like her anyway so I still have a chance. Let’s go,” said Qiao Yaruan as she continued to push Shui Anluo ahead.

Mo Lusu shook his head. “You don’t have to compare yourself with her because we aren’t of the same world in the first place. Lan Xin, I’ve told you many times, it’s impossible for us because I don’t love you.”

“But I…”

“Lan Xin, sometimes friendships can end when certain things are said.” Mo Lusu cut her off and turned around to head to the tents.

Lan Xin’s hand began to tremble around her umbrella. As a result, the raindrops that had fallen on its surface changed direction, shattering into the air.

Shui Anluo arrived at the tent that was arranged for them. There were also villagers who had been just brought in inside the tent. Some were wailing from their injuries and some were shivering.

Shui Anluo and Qiao Yaruan immediately plunged into their rescue duties, subsequently forgetting about making that call.

In ‘A’ City, far away, Maid Yu noticed that her Young Master had been fixated on the news regarding the struggle against the disaster ever since he had finished dinner.

“Ah, heavens, whatever you wish shall be done. How many places have suffered a calamity from this neverending rain?” Maid Yu lamented as she mopped the floor. “Hey, Little Master, stop following me around or I’ll mop you up.”

Ever since the little darling had received his beloved steed, he had sped around the room the entire night. He did not even need his daddy to carry him.

The short-legged boy had followed Maid Yu around, gurgling with laughter as if he was mopping the floor too.

When he heard Maid Yu’s voice, Chu Ningyi turned around and stared at the tiny thing who was still following her around. He frowned and waved at him. “Come to daddy.”

The little darling cocked his tiny head to one side when he heard his daddy speak as if to ask, ‘What is daddy saying?’

However, the little darling saw his daddy waving at him and smiled, showing his little white teeth as he sped right over.

Chu Ningyi saw the little darling who had arrived at his side and picked him up, placing him on his lap.

The little darling babbled and squealed. He twisted his little body and wanted to go back to his beloved steed. “Ah… Ah…” The little darling cried out as he waved his tiny arms in the air. He clearly meant for his daddy to not disturb him, he was driving his car!

“No more walking. You’ve walked for the entire night.” Chu Ningyi knitted his brows and looked down at the baby’s tiny legs. Was he not afraid of breaking his tiny legs from all of that walking?

However, no matter what he said, his eight-month-old son, despite being a genius, did not understand what he meant. He only continued to struggle and asked to be returned to his beloved steed.

“According to the reports, the storm will increase in intensity tomorrow. At present, most of the hospitals at ‘A’ City have sent more volunteers into the rescue. Even interns from the Chu Group hospital have willingly joined in.”
