The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-56

Shui Anluo stared at him but that phone call caused her to panic for some reason. Who was he talking to and what was he abandoning?

When Chu Ningyi saw her, he calmly ended the call before throwing the phone on the desk. “Come here.”

“If you have something to say, just say it. I have ears.” Shui Anluo leaned against the doorway and refused to enter the room. At this moment, she felt uneasy about Chu Ningyi.

“Shui Anluo.” Chu Ningyi furrowed his brows. ‘ Must this woman always insist on opposing him?’

“I’m aware that my name is Shui Anluo, there’s no need to yell.” Shui Anluo stuck her neck out and replied, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going home.”

“I’ll take care of today’s incident, there’s no need for outsiders to step in,” said Chu Ningyi before he sat down by the bed.

This ‘outsider’ was not just anyone, he had referred to Mo Lusu.

Shui Anluo paused. She had the impression that Chu Ningyi would not be too concerned about this matter which was why he never said a thing ever since that incident.

“There’s no need,” Shui Anluo replied sassily as she turned around to leave.

“Stop right there, Shui Anluo.” Chu Ningyi was enraged. His voice filled with absolute anger.

Shui Anluo trembled, she definitely did not dare to take another step.

Strictly speaking, Chu Ningyi had only thrown a fit at her twice but for some reason, Shui Anluo felt scared.

Shui Anluo turned back and looked at the man on the bed. Even though she was afraid, she maintained her composure. “What do you want?

“Shui Anluo, are you ignoring my words completely? Is Mo Lusu that bored?” Chu Ningyi spoke icily.

Uncle Chu could not help but wipe the sweat from his face. The young master’s words were filled with such jealousy though the young master does not realize this.

“What does that have to do with Senior Brother?” Shui Anluo frowned, irritated by Chu Ningyi’s words. Her senior brother had helped her and she had not expressed her gratitude yet. However, Chu Ningyi’s words seemed to imply that he was scolding her senior brother.

Chu Ningyi continued to stare at Shui Anluo and Shui Anluo stared right back at him.

“What are you doing here, Director Shui?”

Just as the pair were facing off with each other, Uncle Chu’s courteous voice rang out from outside the door.

‘Director Shui?’

Not many people in ‘A’ City held the Shui surname and there was only one person who was known as Director Shui.

Her father!

Shui Anluo listened to the sound of the footsteps drawing closer and closer towards her. She could not stop herself from trembling.

After one year, she still had to face her father.

Unfortunately, she could not call him her father anymore nor does he deserve to be called her father.

Tap, tap…

The footsteps grew closer and closer and Shui Anluo grew more and more tense like a string which could snap at any moment.

Chu Ningyi raised his head and looked at Shui Anluo who was standing close to the door. His eyes gradually displayed a sense of emotion which could be considered as heartache.

Shui Anluo’s hands began to tremble. The urge to run away overflowed and she dearly wished that she could turn around and leave.

She immediately turned around but just as she raised her leg, she came face-to-face with the man who had just walked in.

Her heartstring seemed to snap. Shui Moyun had entered into her sight without warning.

Happy laughter and stern scoldings that she had once tried her best to forget seemed to rush back to life at that very moment. They echoed in her mind bit by bit.

“Come here, Luoluo.” Chu Ningyi’s voice was steady but it struck deep into Shui Anluo’s heart and gripped her unsteady pulse.

Shui Anluo slowly relaxed her hands. She turned to look at the man who was sitting at the edge of his bed with his hand outstretched toward her.

When she was at the end of her rope, he had been far away in another country. Now, he was very close by but she still could not bring herself to run to his side.
