The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-327

“Hahaha…”

The little darling made everyone laugh again and a rare smiled cracked on Qiao Huihe’s ugly expression.

Shui Anluo’s attention, however, had remained on Mo Lusu. Chu Ningyi frowned. He slowly circled his hand around Shui Anluo’s hand which had been placed on her knee. Then, he added a bit of force to pull Shui Anluo’s senses back.

Shui Anluo was in pain. She gasped softly and turned around to glare viciously at Chu Ningyi. “What?” she snarled softly but was not loud enough for others to hear.

“Are you that concerned about him?” Chu Ningyi spat icily, wishing that he could freeze her to death right here.

Shui Anluo glanced over at Mo Lusu but her hand hurt again in the next second. Shui Anluo was angry. “It hurts.”

“If it hurts, it’s good,” Chu Ningyi replied indifferently. After the dinner began, he stared icily at the people who stepped forward to congratulate Qiao Huihe. They had pretty much said everything imaginable and he was in no mood to listen.

“Are you still studying, Junior Sister? I thought you aren’t married yet?” As others were giving their wishes, Lan Xin suddenly smiled and asked the question.

Shui Anluo looked up straight into her smiling gaze.

“Now that you’ve mentioned it…” He Xiaoran looked at Chu Ningyi and Shui Anluo when she heard what Lan Xin had said. “Any updates on the remarriage we had talked about?”

“What remarriage?” Qiao Huihe suddenly asked, shocking everyone.

Chu Ningyi tightened his grip around Shui Anluo’s hand and slowly looked up at Qiao Huihe who was seated at the head of the table.

Mo Lusu, who had kept his head down, finally looked up but could see a trace of mockery on Qiao Huihe’s face.

The atmosphere became exceptionally strange.

The little darling shivered a little in his grandmother’s arms. He turned his small head all around and finally focused on his daddy. He babbled once again and reached out his hands, asking to be held. That incident really scared him.

This time, Chu Ningyi did not refuse him. Instead, he immediately took him and placed him on his lap to soothe him.

The little darling seemed to heave a sigh of relief after returning to his daddy’s arms.

“Alright,” Chu Mobai, who had never said a thing from the beginning, finally spoke up. “Mom, it’s your birthday celebration, let’s not talk about these things now.”

Shui Anluo sat next to Chu Ningyi but kept feeling unsettled. She was an outsider here and an outsider who was not liked too.

“Let’s eat,” Chu Mobai said and everyone awkwardly began to move their chopsticks.

Chu Ningyi put his icy exterior away. He reached out and picked up some chopsticks, placing them in her hand. “Have some food. We’ll leave once you’ve eaten,” he muttered.

Shui Anluo stared at the chopsticks in her hand. She wants to leave right now.

Chu Ningyi picked up his chopsticks again. There was spicy fish in front of them and Chu Ningyi took a bit and picked out the bones before placing it in Shui Anluo’s bowl.

Shui Anluo immediately looked up and stared at Chu Ningyi in disbelief.

“Ningyi seems to really love Junior Sister, Teacher. Junior Sister isn’t too bad. Look, they’re quite compatible.” Lan Xin chuckled as she persuaded Qiao Huihe.

When Shui Anluo heard Lan Xin’s words, she spat internally. Was Director Chu planning on carrying out his convulsions to the end?

It was just that she could not eat this fish. It was spicy!

However, Chu Ningyi had personally picked it out for her. He would definitely fly into a rage if she does not eat it and she could not be bothered to get involved with Chu Ningyi over such trivial matters.

So, after some hesitation, Shui Anluo moved her chopsticks.

Just then, Mo Lusu suddenly got up and walked to Shui Anluo’s side. He then switched his plate with Shui Anluo’s.

Everyone’s attention turned to them.

Shui Anluo looked up and stared at Mo Lusu in confusion.

Mo Lusu turned around and left but explained indifferently, “Luoluo is still breast-feeding, she can’t have chili.”

Mo Lusu’s voice was very soft but Shui Anluo heard it very clearly. This was the first time she had heard her senior brother speak ever since her second entrance.
