The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-376

Chu Ningyi carried Shui Anluo into the bedroom. He put her on the bed before he went to the bathroom to start the shower.

By the time he finished cleaning Shui Anluo and tended to her wounds, it was already daytime.

Maid Yu had come over to check on them in the morning. For the most part, Chu Ningyi was exhausted as well so he did not hear Maid Yu knocking on the door. He also had absolutely no idea that Maid Yu had opened the door and walked into the room out of concern.

Maid Yu carefully entered and saw the pair who were fast asleep in each other’s arms. Her anxiety from the past two days was finally released. She immediately pulled her phone from her pocket and secretly took a picture before she slipped out quietly.

Early in the morning, the little darling was full of good spirits. He did not cry and call out for his mommy and did not switch on his radar to scan for his daddy. Instead, he squealed as he rode his beloved steed around the living room.

Maid Yu patted her chest and watched as the little darling babbled and ran back and forth. She sighed, “As I’ve said, children are the most sensitive. The Little Master is a child prodigy.”

The little darling suddenly whirled around and stared at Maid Yu, blinking his adorable eyes. He seemed to have heard someone praising him.

‘It hurts…’

Shui Anluo was awoken by the pain. It was a heart-rending sort of agony, more painful than when she had been washed away by the landslide.

Shui Anluo woke up and looked at the man who was forcefully using Tui Na[1] on her and cried out, “That really hurts!”

“Don’t move.” Chu Ningyi reached out and held her struggling hands aside.

Shui Anluo stared at him as she bit her lips. This man must have some kind of grudge against her. Why could he not do it slowly? Must he push her blood vessels away?

Shui Anluo glared angrily at him. She looked like a little animal who could explode at any moment, the kind that could charge at him and bite him to death in an instant.

Just as Shui Anluo was plotting on the best way to bit him to death, Chu Ningyi’s phone that had been placed on the table rang. Chu Ningyi reached out and took a tissue paper to wipe away the ointment before he picked up the phone.

Shui Anluo gasped. She lowered her head and blew on her leg which was now stinging from his pinching.

Chu Ningyi answered the call and swatted Shui Anluo’s hand away with his other hand. He continued to massage her leg but used a much gentler force this time. “Any updates, Uncle Chu?”

“Young Master, that person has gone back to the city now. I just tailed him into the hospital but I did not go in.” Uncle Chu was still tailing the man outside the hospital.

Uncle Chu had found the suspicious-looking man in the forest after he received Chu Ningyi’s call in the morning and had been following him.

“Hospital?” Chu Ningyi’s lips curled into a cold smirk. Had he gone to get in touch with his accomplice?

“Yuan Jiayi is in the hospital,” Shui Anluo gasped with shock. Yuan Jiayi really was behind it all! She knew that Yuan Jiayi was jealous of her but she did not think that Yuan Jiayi would be brazen enough to try to kill her.

Chu Ningyi looked up at Shui Anluo and stroked her head. He did not confirm her accusation but he also did not deny it either.

“Continue to follow that man, don’t let him see you.” Chu Ningyi smirked. Someone was actually so unafraid of dying that she would dare to lay a hand on his woman. Now, he shall see if she has the capability.

“So, it really was her,” Shui Anluo gritted her teeth. “I never thought that she’d stoop so low.”

Chu Ningyi reached out and held her hand so she could rest on the bed. “Don’t worry, the show hasn’t started yet.”

Shui Anluo shook and stared at Chu Ningyi curiously. “What’re you going to do?”

Chu Ningyi ended the call with Uncle Chu and held Shui Anluo’s hand, planting a gentle kiss. “You’ll find out soon enough. I’ll make anyone who has hurt you pay ten times and a hundred times over,” Chu Ningyi declared as a malicious light flashed across his eyes.
