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

Lin Qianchen looked at the veins protruding from the back of Lan Xin’s hand as she stated indifferently, “Maniere, I must remind you that Chu Ningyi isn’t someone to be trifled with. If you want Shui Anluo’s life, you’ll have to evade his sights.”

“Naturally, I’d have a way for that,” said Lan Xin as she got up and looked at Lin Qianchen. “However, your performance has disappointed me. Even so, I’ll ensure that you’ll see Shui Anluo’s corpse,” said Lan Xin before she turned around to leave.

“The man that you love is Mo Lusu, right?” Lin Qianchen spoke up just as Lan Xin was about to leave. “It’s unfortunate that Shui Anluo is the only thing in Mo Lusu’s eyes.”

Lan Xin clenched her fists when she heard Mo Lusu’s name but did not turn back. “You’d better think of a way to absolve your crimes or you’ll still be in prison after Shui Anluo’s death. That’ll really be too convenient for that woman.”

After that, Lan Xin strode out and the visitor’s room became silent once again.

Lin Qianchen looked up at the heavy rain outside and smirked. “Maniere, I’ll await your good news.”

It had rained the entire night and it was still raining in the morning. Shui Anluo was woken up by the little darling’s cries in the morning because he had made a stink bomb. The little dear was not happy.

Shui Anluo yawned and dazedly picked the little darling up. She brought him to the washroom to clean up his mess.

At this moment, Chu Ningyi was not in the room. Instead, he was outside in the hallway making a call. As the rain was much too heavy, most companies in ‘A’ City had declared that they would work from home or take the day off and the Chu Group was no different. Chu Ningyi was currently managing the matter.

After Shui Anluo finished cleaning the little darling, she felt more awake. The little darling was also wide awake now. He was babbling and away and playing on his own after his mommy fed him.

Chu Ningyi returned to the room after he ended the call. He looked at the mother and son on the bed, thought for a moment and said, “The little darling said ‘mama’ yesterday.”

Initially, Shui Anluo had no intention of talking to Chu Ningyi but she immediately turned to look at him when she heard this. “What did you say?”

Chu Ningyi shrugged and only leaned against the doorway as he stared at her. Which was also to say that she had heard what he said!

“Oh, Xiao Wang was there as well yesterday. You can ask him if you don’t believe me.” He had added that extra information on purpose as if afraid that Shui Anluo would not believe him.

Shui Anluo looked at him then at the little darling. She picked up the little darling who was playing on his own and stared at him seriously. “Darling, say ‘mommy’, ‘mommy’…”

“Ya yi?” The little darling blinked his large eyes at his mommy as if to ask why he was not allowed to play with his toys?

“Not ‘ya yi’, it’s ‘mommy’, ‘mommy’…” Shui Anluo’s heart stopped. Why was she not around to hear her son say ‘mommy’ for the first time? Most importantly, Chu Ningyi had heard it.

“Ge ge…” The little darling suddenly gurgled with laughter and no matter how much Shui Anluo tried to coax him, he would not say a word.

Shui Anluo looked up to glare angrily at Chu Ningyi. She seemed to be irritated that he was the first to hear her son’s first word.

Chu Ningyi scoffed and laughed. “Serves you right!” He then turned to leave but his mouth refused to spare her. “Someone had insisted on following their senior brother away yesterday. Serves you right for missing it.”

“You…” Shui Anluo was enraged and she looked down at the little darling once again. “Little darling, say ‘mommy’ again, okay? Just one more time.”

“Even if he did say it again, it won’t be the first time anymore.” Though that man had walked a fair distance away, his voice still floated toward her from afar.
