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

‘Leave?’

‘Him?’

Chu Ningyi stared at Shui Anluo coldly as she stared back at him fearlessly.

“Your house doesn’t even have powdered baby formula. Do you want my son to starve to death in the middle of the night? Get out and go buy milk,” ordered Shui Anluo.

“Shui Anluo…” Chu Ningyi replied with a warning in his tone.

“What, haven’t you confirmed that this is your son? You would still take offense because I asked you to buy powdered milk?” Shui Anluo continued to provoke him with his own words. She had powdered baby formula. Her mother had packed it in her luggage but she had not taken it out yet.

Chu Ningyi frowned and took a deep breath before he whipped out his phone. “Hello…”

“I knew it would turn out this way. Son, in the future, anyone who buys milk for you is your father, understand?” Before Chu Ningyi could say anything, Shui Anluo lowered her head and spoke to her son in her arms who blinked his large eyes.

Chu Ningyi’s words choked in his throat as his glare toward Shui Anluo grew even more dangerous.

“Nevermind,” Chu Ningyi said icily before he hung up. He then turned toward the smug-looking Shui Anluo again and the little one in her arms. After that, he angrily turned around and left the room.

Once Chu Ningyi had left, Shui Anluo began to give her son his milk. “Little darling, don’t you think it’s strange? How could your daddy be so easily persuaded?”

Although her marriage with Chu Ningyi had only lasted a year, he was the one who had watched her grow up. They could also be considered as childhood friends. Based on her understanding of Chu Ningyi’s personality, the situation certainly would not have been that simple. At the very least, he would not have indulged her so much.

“Ya…” The little darling happily drank his milk. His little legs kicked ceaselessly and he did not seem to want to answer any of his mother’s questions.

Chu Ningyi left the unit and entered the elevator. He kept frowning as he waited for the elevator to reach the lowest level. He had not seen that girl for only a year, how could she have changed so much?

She would never have acted this way in the past.

Chu Ningyi arrived at the large department store downstairs and looked around as he walked in. He rarely walked out to buy anything, much less powdered milk for babies.

“Sir, do you need any help?” A sales staff greeted him with a smile.

“Powdered milk,” came the precise and straightforward answer.

The sales staff’s smile froze in place as she stared incredulously at the handsome-looking man. She asked again, holding on to one last shred of hope. “Sir, are you buying adult milk for your elder?”

“Son.” His answer was short and sweet.

The pleasant smile on the salesgirl’s face had thoroughly disappeared. She then smiled awkwardly as she replied, “Please come this way, sir, we have all sorts of milk here. Take a look…”

“The most expensive one.” Came the order.

The salesgirl’s lips twitched and she began to pity the mother of his son. Was this man even normal?

“Sir, there are different types of milk powder for different ages so the most expensive one is not always the best option.”

“Six months.” That was the child’s age.

The salesgirl had thoroughly lost her infatuation. Men like him were charming if they do not open their mouth. Once they opened their mouth, it was like a Haier freezer cabinet, a fabulous quality for refrigeration.

“Then you can have a look at this section. It’s imported from Europe. Most mothers like this.”

The salesgirl was still talking when Chu Ningyi pushed her aside. He pulled several boxes from the shelf but he paused and frowned before he turned toward the salesgirl again.

“How many boxes?”

The salesgirl was shaken. She could not resist wailing in her head, ‘Do you really need to ask me how many boxes you need?’
