The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-317

Once Shui Anluo got back, Qiao Yaruan felt that something had happened based on the look on her face.

“What is it? Were you scolded?”

“It’s not that, I’ve met that legendary Senior Sister,” Shui Anluo replied as she began to prepare the items needed for checking the wards. Without Qiao Yaruan by her side, she has to listen carefully.

“How was it, how was it? Was she as great as the legends say?” Qiao Yaruan asked in a gossipy manner.

Shui Anluo looked up thoughtfully. “She very beautiful and very gentle. She seemed like an angel in white clothes.”

“Was she really that good?” Qiao Yaruan asked suspiciously.

Shui Anluo nodded, “You’ll know when you meet her.”

Qiao Yaruan’s mouth twitched, withholding her opinion.

Shui Anluo followed Qiao Huihe to check the wards in the morning, during which Lan Xin had helped her out when she was in a bind and kept saying how her little junior sister was so adorable. Instead, Shui Anluo felt a little embarrassed.

After making her rounds, Shui Anluo wanted to go back to her office to settle today’s reports but Lan Xin called out to her before she could go very far.

“Luoluo, it’s Teacher’s seventieth birthday today. Remember to come to the party. All her disciples should join in,” said Lan Xin.

Shui Anluo was shaken and saw the change in Qiao Huihe’s expression. She does not want her to come at all.

Shui Anluo smiled. “Alright, I’ll definitely come to the director’s birthday party.” However, if she ends up getting chased out when the time comes, it would not be her problem.

Qiao Huihe stared at her coldly. “You don’t have to come to the party, just finish your report for me.” Qiao Huihe said as she left.

“Teacher,” Lan Xin hurriedly chased after her, as if trying to persuade Qiao Huihe.

Shui Anluo’s mouth twitched. It was not like she did not want to go, someone would not be happy if she did.

After Shui Anluo had left, Yuan Jiayi wheeled herself out from the shadows in her wheelchair. She stared at Shui Anluo’s figure then at Lan Xin’s direction.

“In the end, she still returned. I knew that she could never let Chu Ningyi go,” Yuan Jiayi coldly remarked.

“Jiayi, isn’t this just bringing your love rival back?” The person who stood next to her was her manager for many years.

“Hmph… She’s much smarter than Lin Qianchen. As long as she destroys Shui Anluo and Ningyi finds out what she’s done, do you think that she’d have any chance with Ningyi? Lin Qianchen has absolutely no hope now. As long as both of them are destroyed, Ningyi will be mine alone,” Yuan Jiayi said as she gripped her hand tightly. It certainly was not a waste of time to persuade Lan Xin to come back.

“High quality, this plot of your is certainly high quality,” the manager praised.

Once Shui Anluo had gotten off work, Chu Ningyi arrived to pick her up. At the same time, he returned her clutch to her.

Shui Anluo was just thinking of going to the hotel to get it. She did not expect him to send it over.

Shui Anluo accepted the clutch Uncle Chu had handed to her. She turned to the car window with a forced smile. “Thank you, Director Chu.” Shui Anluo turned to leave after she had finished her piece.

“Ya ya…” Before Shui Anluo could turn around completely, she heard a pattering sound against the window and her son’s soft and glutinous little voice.

Shui Anluo turned back abruptly and stared at the opened window. The first thing to poke out of it was a face that she did not wish to see. The other one was a tiny little steamed bun face that she had yearned for the entire day.

“Get in the car,” Chu Ningyi ordered indifferently.

Shui Anluo’s chest puffed up and down. She was enraged.

Had Maid Yu not told her that she was on her side? Why did she give the little darling to him?

“Ah, ah…” The little darling reached his small paws out for his mommy as his little legs continued to bounce on his daddy’s lap.
