The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-377

Shui Anluo noticed the flash of malice in his eyes but she did not feel afraid.

Instead, she felt a sense of warmth in her heart.

He was being malicious because of her.

Shui Anluo stared at her bruised fingers in his hand. Although she had just had a near-death experience, if this was the price in exchange for his sincerity, it had been worth it.

Even though he still has not admitted that he loves her.

“Chu Ningyi, you have feelings for me, right?” Shui Anluo asked carefully with a small sense of longing in her voice.

Chu Ningyi raised his brow and continued to gently massage the back of her hand. The bruise on it caused him to frown.

Shui Anluo waited with anticipation but Chu Ningyi did not reply.

He had confessed his feelings long ago, it was just a pity that she had not heard it.

“Young Master, Young Master, the Madam is here.” Maid Yu ran up frantically.

Chu Ningyi released Shui Anluo’s hand and turned around to face Maid Yu who had rushed in.

Maid Yu was absolutely frantic. “The Madam is still at the door, she’s asking me whether I’m going to open the door or not.” She remembered that the Young Master had instructed her not to tell anyone about their return.

Even though she was on the Madam’s side, she needs to obey the Young Master now.

Shui Anluo looked up at Chu Ningyi, waiting for his answer. From Shui Anluo’s point of view, He Xiaoran was his mother so there was no need to keep this from her.

“Open the door. If she’s here to take the child away, tell my mother that I’ll be back tonight. The child must not be taken away.” Chu Ningyi frowned.

Maid Yu nodded in response.

Chu Ningyi watched Maid Yu leave before he walked over and locked the door.

“Why are you keeping this from your mother too?” Shui Anluo asked curiously.

Chu Ningyi walked back and sat on the bed, putting the used plasters away. He then reached out and pinched her cheek. “If you’re going to put on an act, do it thoroughly. No one knows if the person next to them is human or a demon disguised as a person.” Naturally, Chu Ningyi was not guarding against his own mother but the people around her.

Shui Anluo scoffed and slapped his hand away.

Chu Ningyi did not mind it either and got up to put the medicine kit away.

“You certainly know how to protect your face.” Though Shui Anluo’s hands were riddled with wounds, there were only a few small bruises on her face.

“No kidding, I’m someone who would hold my own face.” When someone was in danger, their subconscious act would be to protect their head and face with both hands. This was a survival trait.

After Chu Ningyi put the medicine kit away, he crossed over to the doorway in order to eavesdrop on any movements outside the door. At that moment, Maid Yu had just opened the front door.

When the little darling heard the sound of the door opening, he paused in the middle of reaching out for his milk bottle. He could not resist turning his little head over to look. When he saw the person who had arrived, he babbled and gurgled before he pointed at his milk bottle with his little finger, hinting to his grandmother to get it for him.

He Xiaoran was reminded of Shui Anluo when she saw the little darling and a doting feeling for the little darling immediately washed over her heart. This little darling still did not have the faintest clue that something had happened to his mommy. Otherwise, he probably had no idea what that actually meant.

He Xiaoran walked over and scooped the little darling up from his baby walker. She then sat on the sofa and gave him his milk bottle. The temperature of the milk was just right, Maid Yu had just made the milk for him.

“Where’s the Young Master?” He Xiaoran asked, looking up at Maid Yu.

The little darling’s tiny body lay in his grandmother’s arms as he held the milk bottle tightly with his little paws. He had initially wanted to learn some new words but nothing was more important on earth than food. He would much rather fill his stomach before anything else.
