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

The color drained from Qiao Yaruan’s face and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

Shui Anluo felt nervous. She held her friend’s arm with one hand and could feel the nervousness radiating from Qiao Yaruan. “Yaruan, what’s the matter with you?” Shui Anluo asked. The bus had reached a bus stand but it was not Shui Anluo’s stop yet.

Despite that, Shui Anluo swiped her card and opened her umbrella as she helped Qiao Yaruan off the bus. There was a KFC near the bus stand. Shui Anluo quickly helped Qiao Yaruan in and bought two cups of hot milk tea for them.

Shui Anluo sat opposite Qiao Yaruan and reached out to hold her icy hands.

“Yaruan, what’s going on with you?” Shui Anluo asked for the third time.

Qiao Yaruan’s condition has nearly frightened her to tears because she has never seen her friend being so affected before.

Qiao Yaruan held the warm milk tea as Shui Anluo placed her small hand over her hand. Her tense body calmed down as a blood-drenched sight before her eyes slowly dissipated.

“I’m fine, I just happened to remember a nightmare.” Qiao Yaruan’s expression slowly returned to normal and she looked at Shui Anluo. “Hey, are you really scared to tears? You really don’t have any nerve, do you?”

Shui Anluo looked at her friend’s smiling face and gritted her teeth as she waved her hand at her. “Look carefully, you caused this and it hurts, okay?”

Qiao Yaruan lowered her head and stared at Shui Anluo’s swollen wrist. She sighed and said, “My bad, my bad, I’ll buy you a hamburger to console you.”

“I want an extra drumstick,” Shui Anluo gritted her teeth and said viciously.

“Grow up, why must you have extra shrimp, extra squid, extra codfish, extra drumstick, extra… Have an extra of whatever you want.” Qiao Yaruan clicked her tongue and got up to buy a hamburger for Shui Anluo.

Shui Anluo giggled. This world was a lot better with Qiao Yaruan around.

“Anjiao, what’re you doing at a place like this?”

Shui Anluo was waiting for her super hamburger when a familiar voice chimed in next to her ear. She then laid eyes on Shui Anjiao and the delinquent from the other day.

The delinquent also noticed Shui Anluo and a vicious light immediately flashed in her eyes. This was the woman who was responsible for her father slapping her back then.

Shui Anjiao purposely lifted her right hand to show off a white-gold bracelet. There was a first-class jade piece on the bracelet.

“Yuanyuan, look, isn’t this birthday gift from my dad beautiful?”

“It’s really nice, this jade must be very expensive.” Yuanyuan raised her voice on purpose.

Shui Anluo merely stared at them calmly before she turned back and continued to drink her milk tea.

A jade bracelet. Her father had given it to her on her twentieth birthday but she never thought that he would give it to Shui Anjiao two years later.

Perhaps he wanted to give everything she ever owned to Shui Anjiao.

Shui Anluo could not prevent a chill from creeping into her heart as she thought about this. She even told herself that she, Luoluo, has grown up well and has gotten prettier. Two years later, her present has been given to someone else.

“Of course, my father had brought this back from overseas. I heard…”

“Are you showing off someone’s unwanted present, Shui Anjiao? Are you feeling very proud of yourself?” Shui Anluo did not wait for her to finish speaking and immediately rose to her feet to face her.

This had been her unwanted present. There was no need for her to show it off in front of her.
