The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-49

Chu Ningyi looked at Shui Anluo as she walked out. After she left, Lin Qianchen walked in.

Chu Ningyi watched Lin Qianchen as she walked in and closed the document in his hand. His annoyance was clear to see in his tightly knitted brows.

Lin Qianchen stood at the doorway in a daze. She had intended to ask him about his condition but she felt uneasy at the sight of his expression.

“What’s wrong, Ningyi?” Lin Qianchen maintained her natural and unrestrained nature but found it difficult to conceal her nervousness.

“Qianchen, don’t you think you should’ve explained yesterday’s incident to me?” Chu Ningyi sounded calm but there was an unmistakable firmness in his voice.

Lin Qianchen pursed her lips and stood next to his bed. “Explain what? The matter surrounding Luoluo? It’s true that I’m also responsible for that, I had been rushing to keep an appointment so I had not provided her with clear instructions,” sighed Lin Qianchen.

Chu Ningyi narrowed his eyes. He clearly has something to say but did not speak his mind.

“Are you thinking that I’ve caused trouble for Luoluo on purpose? Why would I do such a thing?” Lin Qianchen chuckled as if Chu Ningyi had falsely accused her.

“I too hope that you have no intention of doing so,” said Chu Ningyi. He then lowered his head to look at the documents in his hand.

Chu Ningyi’s voice was steady but it felt like a slap on Lin Qianchen’s face, causing her to purse her lips. She had underestimated Chu Ningyi. Knowing his abilities, there was nothing he could not find out.

When Shui Anluo arrived home, the little darling was having his afternoon nap. Shui Anluo thanked Maid Yu who escorted her upstairs then kissed the little darling before going into the kitchen to cook.

“What do you want to make, Miss Shui? Just tell me.” Maid Yu hurriedly rushed over.

“There’s no need, I can do it myself,” smiled Shui Anluo. Otherwise, she would not know the kind of trouble Chu Ningyi could cause for her.

“Miss Shui, what do you think of the Young Master?” Maid Yu carefully asked Shui Anluo as she stood behind her. This was the madam’s instructions – she wanted to know if the young master truly had any intentions of remarrying Miss Shui.

“He’s very handsome and very rich.” Most crucially, he was a drag but Shui Anluo did not say this.

Mild black lines formed on Maid Yu’s face. What on earth had she meant by that? Was she saying that because she likes the young master? Don’t girls like rich and handsome men?

After Shui Anluo finished cooking lunch, she put it in a thermal lunchbox and headed back to the hospital.

Chu Ningyi was still busy with work when Shui Anluo arrived. Even though one of his legs was propped up, that had not marred his personal charm.

“Master, your take out. Remember to pay for it.” Shui Anluo put the lunchbox down and turned around to leave.

“Wait a minute,” said Chu Ningyi and pulled the USB drive from his computer. “Take this to the office and give this to Special Assistant Wu. This is needed in today’s meeting.”

Shui Anluo’s entire face was full of black lines. “Big Brother, I’m still at work. Going home and cooking for you is already…”

“Hurry up, why are you spouting so much nonsense?” Chu Ningyi frowned as he spoke. It was as if every word Shui Anluo had uttered was complete rubbish.

Shui Anluo felt choked by his impatient words. Now, aside from becoming a nanny, was she supposed to run errands for him as well?

“Hey, Chu Ningyi, don’t cross the line.” Shui Anluo was enraged. “I’m still at work!”

“You can rest for today.”

“Says who?”

“Says me. Hurry up,” said Chu Ningyi, getting even more impatient.

Shui Anluo was angered to the point where she could not breathe properly. In the end, she decided that she was too lazy to pander to him so she turned around to leave.

“Shui Anluo, this involves the money for your son’s milk powder,” Chu Ningyi calmly remarked.
