The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-522

The corners of Shui Anluo’s lips twitched. This was not even considered as her medical practice.

‘Director Chu, just how much do you view me with disdain?’

“Then, as a reward, Senior Brother…” Shui Anluo carefully spoke as she steepled her fingers.

Chu Ningyi frowned again. Has this child completely fixated on her senior brother’s issues this time?

Shui Anluo saw his expression turn unsightly and waved her hands immediately. “Alright, alright, I won’t ask, okay?” Shui Anluo said and turned around to head back to her seat.

“He’s probably gone off to find out the truth, the reason behind my youngest aunt’s death.” Chu Ningyi picked up the cup of water on the table and gently took a sip.

“The reason behind your aunt’s death? Wasn’t it…” Director Qiao?

“Do you want to know the Chu Family’s top-secret past?” Chu Ningyi shrugged his shoulders but his smile was a little forced.

Shui Anluo’s smile grew even more awkward, it was not like she absolutely had to know.

Shui Anluo held the watermelon juice in her hand as she sipped it.

“Do you believe me when I say that Grandmother had nothing to do with my aunt’s death?” Chu Ningyi suddenly asked.

“Ah?” Shui Anluo was shaken for a moment. She looked up at Chu Ningyi but he had already leaned against the back of the chair. He put his arms together and stared at her seriously. “I don’t know,” Shui Anluo replied truthfully.

Mo Lusu had told her about his mother’s death while Qiao Huihe also had a simple conversation with her. Chu Ningyi had even criticized her over this matter so she really did not know who was telling the truth.

“I just think that Director Qiao isn’t as vicious as Senior Brother had described her to be but she didn’t like your grandfather either, right?” Shui Anluo remembered her conversation from that day. Qiao Huihe had said that she regretted it.

If a woman does not love a man, would she care about giving the man a child?

Perhaps she would hate it.

Chu Ningyi curled his lips and did not reply.

Shui Anluo sighed. She pushed her cup away and leaned on the table again. “There’re so many issues concerning Senior Brother and the Empress Dowager.” Shui Anluo placed her chin on the table. Her eyes turned to Chu Ningyi again as she silently thought: ‘And you, that past that you’ve refused to face.’

“Qiao Yaruan’s issue isn’t that big. It’s enough as long as we get Old Fourth to realize his feelings,” Chu Ningyi said in a calm voice.

Shui Anluo began to knock her head on the table again. The point was that the fiend who was an even bigger bitch than her beautiful borther simply had no way of comprehending his feelings.

“Stop knocking, a lot of pig brains had been used to patch your head back up. If you knock it any more, you’ll become an idiot,” Chu Ningyi calmly said.

Shui Anluo suddenly looked up and her gaze shot at him like little needles.

“Why haven’t you been beaten up whenever you go out?” His mouth was venomous and really caused one to wish they could poison him so he would become mute.

Chu Ningyi raised his brow. “Who would dare?”

Cough… Shui Anluo choked. Alright, she was no match for Director Chu as usual.

“Feeling better?” Chu Ningyi asked.

“I’ll feel even better if you keep your mouth shut.” Shui Anluo smiled. She has had enough of Director Chu’s mouth.

Chu Ningyi shrugged and shut his mouth.

Hence, ten minutes later…

“Chu Ningyi, talk to me…” Shui Anluo had begun to feel bored.

Director Chu sent her an icy glare then continued to read his newspaper.

“Director Chu, let’s chat…” She was really very bored.

Director Chu sent his second icy glare then continued to read his newspaper again.

“Master Chu, Brother Chu, Great Chu…” She should not have been so mean earlier on.

“You’ve messed up your seniority,” Chu Ningyi scoffed icily.
