The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-379

Whoosh…

As soon as the room’s door swung open, someone forcefully pulled Chu Ningyi’s curtains away and incidentally revealed a shadowy figure behind it.

“Ah…” He Xiaoran held her grandson as she stumbled one step back. “Who’s that?”

Maid Yu shivered as well, half of that person’s body was covered by the curtain so it was difficult to tell who it was.

“Cuilian, it’s hard to fix this curtain.” The person under the curtain seemed to be struggling to come out of it. His voice sounded like a senile old man’s.

Cuilian was Maid Yu’s name.

Maid Yu was momentarily dazed, unable to comprehend what was going on. However, when her gaze fell upon Shui Anluo who was gesturing anxiously from the bedside, she instantly got it.

Maid Yu shook herself and immediately stopped panicking and trembling. Instead, she quickly dashed in front of He Xiaoran and blocked her view. “Madam, it’s like this, the curtains in the Young Master’s bedroom aren’t too sturdy these days so I took advantage of the Young Master’s absence and asked someone to come over and fix it. You know that an acquaintance of mine is well-versed in craftmanship, Madam, so…” Maid Yu rambled and slowly lowered her head. She looked quite sheepish so no one would suspect her explanation.

Shui Anluo lay beneath the bed and tried to endure her internal wounds. Maid Yu was certainly a talented individual. She had tried to prompt Maid Yu to use the excuse of repairing something in order to convince He Xiaoran to leave. However, she never expected Maid Yu to act out such a scenario.

He Xiaoran frowned as she stared at the person struggling in front of her. She then turned around. “Next time, when something in the house needs repair, inform the mansion and someone will be sent right over.”

“Yes, yes…” Maid Yu replied and followed He Xiaoran out.

Shui Anluo heaved a sigh of relief and was just about to look up when her gaze met the little darling’s eyes. Shui Anluo was startled and she threw herself down onto the ground just as she was about to get up.

“Ya…” The little darling clapped his tiny hands at the sight of his mommy’s flustered behavior. He babbled and gurgled at his mommy.

“Ma… Ma…”

Shui Anluo felt as if she was hit once again. Her entire body was in pain but this was the first time she ever heard her son call her ‘mama’. Shui Anluo clutched her chest and lay on the ground as she thought. ‘Oh my son, do you have a grudge against your mother?’

His cry really caused her agony and she dearly wished that she could hold him in her arms and kiss him feverishly. She also hoped that her son would hurry up and leave and stop calling out to her.

Maid Yu was shocked as well. Just as He Xiaoran was about to turn around, she quickly blocked the view toward Shui Anluo and laughed awkwardly. “The Little Master has begun to learn how to talk. He loves to say ‘mama’ lately, it’s just an unfortunate…” Maid Yu added a hint of sympathy in her tone.

He Xiaoran heard the sympathy in Maid Yu’s voice and relaxed. She then glanced at the person near the window and said indifferently, “If he can’t repair it, let him go home. I’ll send someone over tomorrow. Also, Cuilian, you’ve been divorced for many years now, it’s time to start thinking about yourself for once.”

Maid Yu grunted a reply and followed He Xiaoran out. She heaved a sigh of relief as she slammed the door shut.

Shui Anluo groaned softly and held her waist as she crawled up. That instance had nearly slammed her to death. Most importantly, she had heard her son call her ‘mama’ and very clearly too.

Chu Ningyi reached out and drew the curtains. He then shot Shui Anluo a vicious glare. He really wants to ask her where she had got this horrible idea from, he actually had to imitate a wretched old man!
