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

After some thought, Chu Ningyi figured out what Luo Xuan meant.

“Get straight to the point then.” Chu Ningyi did not stubbornly insist to try to go upstairs again. Instead, he slowly took a step back then looked at Luo Xuan in the eye.

“Do you know, that’s what I like about you, Chu Ningyi. You’re blunt and direct but also such a rascal.” Luo Xuan smiled.

“Unfortunately, I don’t like you.” Chu Ningyi’s voice grew colder.

“I heard that the little chili pepper is your cousin?” Luo Xuan did not beat around the bush with him either and simply asked straightaway.

“And?” Chu Ningyi, however, asked an obvious question.

“Why don’t you exchange your cousin with mine?”

“No way.” Chu Ningyi scoffed and tried to cut past him again.

Luo Xuan leaned over and blocked his way. “Director Chu, you’re such a fraud. I think it’s best to let her stay here,” Luo Xuan said as his body blocked Chu Ningyi’s way completely.

Chu Ningyi slowly took a step back again and narrowed his attractive eyes at the man in front of him.

“Mister Luo, do you really think that you can stand in my way with your position as a cousin who has just appeared? Someone who has never appeared in a few hundred years has suddenly appeared. May I ask, Mister Luo, who had given you that right?” Chu Ningyi asked icily.

Luo Xuan leaned beside the staircase as he stared at the sharp-tongued man in front of him.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I’m guessing that this was how you’d bullied my sister. Rumor has it that your venomous tongue is unrivalled. I guess I’ve experienced it today,” Luo Xuan said in a seemingly helpless voice.

Chu Ningyi’s expression turned ugly. He could not be bothered to play the fool with Luo Xuan. “Get out of the way.”

“And if I don’t?” Luo Xuan continued to smile.

Shui Anluo had finished cooking dinner but Luo Xuan was still not back yet. Shui Anluo was curious so she looked down from the window, wanting to check if he was about to come back soon. However, she realized that she did not see her cousin but Chu Ningyi’s car instead.

Chu Ningyi’s car!

Shui Anluo could not believe her eyes. She rubbed them again but the car was still there!

Shui Anluo looked back at her front door. Her cousin would not possibly let him up, right?

After all, her cousin was not the same as her beautiful brother. There was a possibility that he would shirk loyalty and betray her.

Shui Anluo thought about this and she locked the front door worriedly. She would only open the door for her cousin.

The longer she interacted with Chu Ningyi, the more she understood him. It was definitely not a good thing if this man came to look for her.

“Wah…”

The little darling’s cries suddenly rang out which meant that he was awake.

Shui Anluo had no time to think further. She quickly headed back to the room and scooped the little darling into her arms. The little darling had pooped so he was crying, fussing and struggling. He felt dirty and he hated it.

Shui Anluo pulled the drawer out. She had not been here a while so there were no diapers for the little darling. Shui Anluo carried him into the washroom as she said, “Bear with your naked buttocks first, okay? Mommy will go downstairs and buy some for you later.”

Shui Anluo cleaned his little buttocks and put his little shorts on him before carrying him out. The doorway was silent and she carried the little darling to the window and looked down.

Very good, Chu Ningyi’s car was gone.

Shui Anluo heaved a sigh of relief but felt strangely disappointed at the same time.

He had left just like that.

He did not even have a shred of sincerity, he did not even knock on the door before he just left.

However, as Shui Anluo stared at the locked door, had she not hoped that he would not come up?

“Ah…” Shui Anluo cried out, she was so conflicted.
