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

If he remembers correctly, he had personally blocked that number. Had she secretly unblocked it?

Chu Ningyi immediately opened the message.

You’re recommencing your internship tomorrow, right? If you have any questions, you can talk to me anytime.

Chu Ningyi raised his brow as his lips curved into a smirk. This was… A justification!

Chu Ningyi immediately got up and headed to the guest room. He grabbed Shui Anluo who was in the middle of preparing for bed and dragged her into his room. He then threw her onto the bed with a gloomy look on his face.

Gasp…

Shui Anluo was almost flattened by his sudden forcefulness. She pressed her arms against his chest as she snapped angrily, “What’re you doing?”

Chu Ningyi held her phone with one hand and showed the message to her. “I seem to remember that he’s number has been blocked?”

Shui Anluo stared at the text message. Though she could not read the content of the message, she could see Mo Lusu’s name. She had felt bad for blocking him because there was no great enmity between them so she had unblocked his number.

Besides, her senior brother had not called or sent her any messages for a period of time so it had slipped her mind.

Shui Anluo’s large eyes darted around as she thought about how she could explain this.

A sense of enlightenment suddenly flashed across her mind. Shui Anluo immediately grabbed her phone. “Who gave you permission to read my messages? Don’t you know anything about privacy?”

“Heh, privacy?” Chu Ningyi never expected her to find a counter-attack so quickly.

“That’s right, privacy. Would you be happy if I looked at your phone whenever I please?” Shui Anluo stuck her neck out and had just finished speaking when a phone was smacked down next to her.

Chu Ningyi got up, stood by the bed and cast a sidelong glance at her. “Look then!”

Shui Anluo stared at the pure black phone he had thrown at her. Its brand was so posh that she could not see it.

‘Director Chu, it’s no fun if you do this. Shouldn’t you have followed up with a rejection?’

Shui Anluo slowly sat up. Her small hand trembled as she picked his phone up and said in a diplomatic tone, “Brother Chu, I’m not going to violate your privacy.”

“You chose not to look so don’t blame me…”

“Fine, I’ll look. I simply can’t believe that you don’t have any phone calls from other women or from Yuan Jiayi.” Shui Anluo realized that she would not be able to avoid this so she threw caution to the wind and unlocked Chu Ningyi’s phone to check his contact list.

However…

Shui Anluo stared at the sparse contact list and felt stupefied. He only had one contact on his phone and it was — ‘Wife’!

It was her phone number.

“H-how can this be?” Does he not use his phone at all?

“Hmph, see that? Now delete every man’s number from your phone.”

“No, this can’t be right!” Shui Anluo cried out as she immediately jumped on the bed and stared straight into his eyes. “You’ve memorized those numbers, haven’t you? Memorizing those numbers is even more despicable than having them on your phone. Is Yuan Jiayi’s number especially engraved in your mind?” Shui Anluo clutched her tiny little waist as she jumped on the bed sulkily.

Chu Ningyi stared at her icily. “Explain this and stop trying to bring irrelevant topics into our discussion.”

Shui Anluo stared at her phone in his hand and at the text message that was overflowing with concern. There was nothing wrong with Senior Brother’s text message in the first place, he had done it out of concern. However, after you factor in the fact that he has feelings for her, this text message was lethal.
