The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-415

‘Lan Xin?’

Chu Ningyi was surprised but he smiled. Sometimes, this little girl would show quite a lot of cleverness.

“I haven’t asked you but what was an intern like you doing at the frontlines?” Chu Ningyi asked.

Shui Anluo leaned her head to one side. “Lan Xin wasn’t feeling well that day and she had been under the rain for a day and an entire night. She almost fainted when she got back so I volunteered to go in her place. Now, it looks like she’d arranged all this but she never expected Senior Brother to go with me…” Before Shui Anluo could finish speaking, she saw the difference in Chu Ningyi’s expression and remembered that she had mentioned her senior brother again. Her mouth twitched a little and she quickly ran back to her room.

Chu Ningyi turned around and sat on the sofa. He crossed his arms over his chest and his gaze darkened. When everything was said, it all connects. Lan Xin had sent Shui Anluo over because she was not feeling well and that person had been lying in wait at the location long ago. Even if Shui Anluo did not have to save the boy, he would still have found a way to strike.

Chu Ningyi thought about this as he reached out to pick up the phone in front of him. He turned it on and noticed quite a number of missed calls and messages. Most of them from his mother and grandmother as well as and Lan Xin. All of them were asking him where he was and if he knew about Shui Anluo’s incident.

Chu Ningyi tapped his finger slowly on the table. In the end, he stared at Lan Xin’s message and made the call.

The phone rang twice before the call was answered. However, he did not say anything. Lan Xin’s excited voice rang out from the other end, “Thank god, thank god, you’ve finally turned on your phone. Where have you been? Something’s happened to Luoluo, did you know?”

Her voice was full of emotion and she sounded like she was worried about Shui Anluo and was condemning Chu Ningyi.

Chu Ningyi’s finger continued to slowly tap on the table. “I know, Luoluo’s fine,” he slowly replied.

“What? Luoluo’s alright? Were you the one who found her?” Lan Xin said emotionally. “That’s good, that’s good. Otherwise, I’d blame myself to death. She had gone in my place.”

Chu Ningyi could not find a single hole in her response but that also made him sneer.

Chu Ningyi drummed his fingers on the desk and replied indifferently, “Luoluo was afraid that you might blame yourself so she asked me to speak to you.”

“As long as she’s alright.” Lan Xin seemed to heave a huge sigh of relief. She reminded him to let her have a good rest before she ended the call.

Chu Ningyi stared at the phone after the call ended and slowly clenched his hand around it.

Upstairs, the little darling had already woken up when Shui Anluo returned. The mother and son were both playing together now.

“Yaya…” The little darling was being carried in his mommy’s arms. He opened his little mouth wide and flashed two little white teeth. He giggled and gurgled but refused to say the word ‘mommy’.

Chu Ningyi turned around and looked at the mother and son. A sense of consideration appeared in his mind.

Shui Anluo looked at Chu Ningyi who was in a daze and placed the little darling on Chu Ningyi’s lap. She then sat on the rug, turned on the tablet, and intended to continue reading the news. She even asked, “Have you spoken to Lan Xin? How was her reaction?”

The little darling was now in his daddy’s lap. He pressed his little hands on his daddy’s wrists and used his strength to help himself stand.

Shui Anluo turned around to look at the frowning Chu Ningyi and the little darling who was putting up a great effort to stand up. She chuckled and said, “I went and searched on Baidu. Babies at eight to nine months old will begin to start learning how to stand up. Just be his big strong tree.”

Chu Ningyi frowned. These new parents would have to rely on books to raise their children.

“Ah…”

As the little darling was working hard on standing up, Shui Anluo held the tablet and cried out in shock. This surprised the little darling so much that he trembled and immediately fell on his buttocks.

Chu Ningyi’s frown deepened as he reached out to gently pat the little darling’s back. “What’s wrong? Why’re you so flustered?”

Shui Anluo gulped and handed the tablet over to him. “This, what is this?”

‘Explosive news?’
