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

Therefore, she felt that it would be better for her not to get too close to him.

Shui Anluo was in the midst of her thoughts when she quickly pulled the divorce agreement out from underneath her bed. She felt more assured when she saw the ‘no money, possessions and any contact’ clause in the agreement. As long as she has this, she could be sure that the baby still belongs to her.

Shui Anluo thought about this before putting the agreement away carefully. She locked the safe and continued with her report.

Chu Ningyi returned to his room in a seemingly tumultuous mood. He had to lie on the bed for a long while before he could steady his breathing.

She clearly has the body of a little sapling. He could not remember how their happy times had been like but he had actually reacted under this kind of situation now.

The little darling whimpered softly in this sleep and Chu Ningyi took a warm bottle of milk which was left at the head of the bed and placed it in his mouth. The little guy sucked on it several times before he continued to sleep.

Chu Ningyi looked at this little guy who looks just like him. He stroked the baby’s little face with his hand. Perhaps he was doing all this only because of this little one’s appearance in his life.

Shui Anluo slept for a short while during the wee hours in the morning. When the alarm rang, she felt as if her entire being was going mad.

She turned the alarm off and went to wash her face with her eyes still shut.

Shui Anluo finally managed to wake up completely after she had packed up and Maid Yu had finished preparing breakfast. Most importantly, Chu Ningyi was also having breakfast together with her.

Shui Anluo was hesitant about whether to greet him but she decided to do so in the end.

“Morning.” Shui Anluo felt a little bit awkward. She then scooped up her son who was playing and kicking his little legs in his cradle. The little guy gurgled and stretched his tiny arms out, asking for milk.

Shui Anluo immediately carried him upstairs.

She was scared because Chu Ningyi’s expression had looked much too cold.

The report that Shui Anluo had worked on for the entire night could not be handed over. Apparently, the old specialist had gone out for a consultation.

Shui Anluo looked at the manuscript in her hands before looking back up at Lin Qianchen who was walking away coldly. She felt as if she had just been played again.

“Shui Anluo, did you manage to organize yesterday’s consultation report?” Lin Qianchen turned back and asked with a frown.

Shui Anluo was shaken. “You never asked me to sort it out.”

“Must I tell you everything?” Lin Qianchen icily chastised her.

“I…” Shui Anluo frowned. She looked down and thought of a counterattack.

“Doctor Lin, shouldn’t you be telling me what to do? You’re my mentor after all. You had not instructed me, do you think that this is the Psych Department? Should I be guessing your thoughts?” Shui Anluo replied darkly.

“You’re aware that I’m your mentor but I don’t seem to see any respect from you.” Lin Qianchen said with a sneer.

“Respect is mutual, Doctor Lin. If you want respect from others, please show something that deserves respect.” Shui Anluo replied calmly before she passed Lin Qianchen and left.

“Shui Anluo, have I underestimated you in the past?” Lin Qianchen had muttered softly as Shui Anluo passed her by.

Shui Anluo paused for a moment and responded, “It’s not that all of you had underestimated me. You’ve all overestimated me and that’s why you’ve tried to eradicate me. If you don’t mind, go and tell your aunt to stop making schemes on my grandfather’s business. Though I, Shui Anluo, may not be able to do anything to you but when it comes to Chu Ningyi? That’ll be hard to say.”
