The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-250

Yuan Jiayi looked at Shui Anluo and tightened her grip on the blanket. “Don’t you know who I am?”

“I know, you’re Ningyi’s ex-girlfriend and the daughter of his benefactor too.” Shui Anluo sounded so innocent.

Deep down in her heart, she secretly thought, Damn you, did you really think that only you can act pitiful?

So can I!

However, her feigned naivety was not for Chu Ningyi’s sake but for Yuan Jiayi’s viewing pleasure.

Yuan Jiayi never expected her first altercation with Shui Anluo to turn out this way. Shui Anluo was now slick and sly like a ball. As a result, she had no way of finding any fatalities.

Yuan Jiayi quickly put her ferocity away and smirked. “Nothing, I was overthinking things.”

Shui Anluo continued to grin. “Miss Yuan, there’s no need for you to get so emotional, the burn scars on your thigh can be fixed with surgery at a later stage. I assure you that there won’t be any lingering scars.”

Yuan Jiayi stared at her mistrustfully. She pursed her lips and replied with uncertainty, “Is this true?”

“Of course it is, don’t forget, I’m a doctor too. You can come to me if you have any issues, Miss Yuan,” Shui Anluo replied in a matter-of-fact manner as if to say ‘If I lie to you, I’m a puppy’.

Once Shui Anluo pacified Yuan Jiayi, she dragged Chu Ningyi out.

Yuan Jiayi lay down and slightly tightened her grip on the blanket. She had indeed underestimated Shui Anluo. What an innocent-looking expression yet the deeper meaning it secretly held was abundantly clear — she was warning her that Chu Ningyi belongs to her.

A little girl, still wet behind her ears, was actually threatening her?

Shui Anluo, the road ahead is a long one, we shall play by ear.

Shui Anluo dragged Chu Ningyi out. He raised his brow and stared at Shui Anluo who had turned to face him.

“Feeling cocky?” Chu Ningyi scoffed icily.

“Feeling heartache?” Shui Anluo imitated his scoff.

Qiao Yaruan propped her face on one hand. If you put both their ages together, they would be in their fifties already yet they were still here spouting such childish words. How embarrassing.

However, her Xiao Luozi had done very well today, full marks. Let us see how Yuan Jiayi was going to twist this around now!

Since Qiao Yaruan was still around, Chu Ningyi did not continue his dispute with Shui Anluo but only looked down to check the time.

Shui Anluo stretched and looked at Qiao Yaruan. “Let’s go back?”

Qiao Yaruan cocked her head. “No need, I can call a cab. You should go back with Director Chu.”

Chu Ningyi raised his brow. This Qiao Yaruan was a child prodigy too, she knows exactly what to do at the right time.

“Let’s go, we’ll send you home,” Chu Ningyi calmly offered and led them out of the hospital.

Qiao Yaruan wrapped her arms around Shui Anluo’s shoulders and clicked her tongue. “Tell me, how did you manage to pick up a god like that? Look at that body, so perfectly proportioned. It must be really enjoyable in bed.”

“That’s enough out of you.” Shui Anluo blushed and rolled her eyes. She then slapped her friend’s shoulders, “Hey, about you and…”

Before Shui Anluo could finish her sentence, the hospital’s siren rang.

Shui Anluo and Qiao Yaruan stood on alert at the sound of the siren and stared at the doctors rushing past them.

Chu Ningyi frowned at the sight of the hospital suddenly thrown into a panic. Not too long after, a loud noise was heard from up ahead.

Shui Anluo and Qiao Yaruan looked at each other then quickly ran to the hospital’s main door. Regardless of what had happened, as doctors, their first order of business was to rush right over.
