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

Shui Anluo internally cursed at her Empress Dowager. Had she not dragged her down for nothing? Of all the things she had to mention, she had to talk about flirting back?

However, Shui Anluo also knew that she should not be alarmed. If she panicked today, Chu Ningyi would definitely laugh at her for the rest of her life.

“Flirt… Flirting back is a life skill, you’d want me to think it over properly.” Shui Anluo tried to keep her tone steady. At least she could not show fear.

Chu Ningyi raised his brows. The closeness between them was just as flirtatious.

“Oh, really? Then I’ll be anticipating your retaliation,” Chu Ningyi murmured into her ear with a smile before he got up and left.

Shui Anluo was blushing as she stared at Chu Ningyi while he hobbled away on one leg. This indeed proves that no matter how handsome one was, it was impossible to look cool while hobbling away on one leg.

It was three in the afternoon. After Shui Anluo fed her son, Chu Ningyi escorted her out of the house. To call it by its glorified name, this was to neaten up her face so she would not end up being a disservice to the outfit that her ex-mother-in-law had given her.

Shui Anluo gritted her teeth and mumbled to herself but Chu Ningyi was seated next to her so she did not dare to say anything out loud.

Chu Ningyi was dressed in a black tuxedo. At that moment, his injured leg was placed on top of Shui Anluo’s leg and he had his eyes closed in meditation.

Shui Anluo wanted to throw this at him. ‘ Damn you, this is an outfit prepared by your mother, aren’t you afraid of dirtying it?’

Unfortunately, she did not have the guts to do it!

“Think carefully about how you’d like to flirt back. I’m waiting to be hit on.” Chu Ningyi’s eyes may be closed but these words were certainly directed towards Shui Anluo.

There was a driver in front too!

Shui Anluo’s face began to redden. She absolutely believes that Chu Ningyi was doing this on purpose.

“Chu Ningyi, I don’t want to put makeup on.” Shui Anluo furrowed her brows. “Don’t you think I look better without makeup?”

Chu Ningyi finally opened his eyes when he heard what Shui Anluo had said. He then stared at the woman who was blinking at him.

Chu Ningyi reached out and pinched her face. “Aside from giving birth to a son, this face has gotten thicker.”

“This is called confidence.” Shui Anluo scoffed and swatted his hand away before she stared at the leg on her lap. “My leg is hurting from having your leg on of it.” Shui Anluo could not resist blurting out. This time, she could only lean against the back of the car seat.

“Bear with it,” Chu Ningyi replied coldly and continued to lean against the seat before closing his eyes in meditation once again. After all, the feeling he got when he bullied her was a pretty good one.

Shui Anluo gritted her teeth, dearly wishing that she could lunge at him and bite him to death.

However, Chu Ningyi opened his eyes just as Shui Anluo was making faces at him and stared at her. He then said, “However, beating Shui Anjiao without makeup is indeed a good choice.”

“Yup, yup, yup.” Shui Anluo nodded hastily.

“Hey, Shui Anluo, you really have no shame, huh? You’d dare to admit to this kind of thing as well?” Chu Ningyi clicked his tongue again.

Shui Anluo was left speechless.

She quietly stared outside the window. She was no match for an old fox like Chu Ningyi so she would keep her mouth shut.

Shui Anluo suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Chu Ningyi. “Yaruan is coming too, can you get an invitation for her?”

“If Qiao Yaruan wants to go, she’ll find a way. Only you, you silly girl, would think that you’ll absolutely need an invitation card.” Chu Ningyi stared at Shui Anluo as if he was staring at an idiot or an idiot who could never be saved.

Shui Anluo turned away quietly. Why does she have to stoop and be the first one to speak to him? Why? Why?
