The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-71

“What?” Shui Anluo noticed that her son was about to burst into tears and quickly patted his tiny body. Luckily, he did not wake up and continued to sleep.

“It’s just a shame that the male god of this generation would fall into the same trap twice. The road to marriage is indeed a trap. You’re a huge trap and you’re an attractive one too. He had clearly managed to climb out yet you’ve pulled him right back in,” lamented Qiao Yaruan. “Let me tell you something, I’ve resigned. Let’s see if your husband will take me in or my livelihood shall have to depend on you.”

“You’ve resigned?” Shui Anluo gasped in shock and quickly rushed to the washroom, afraid that she would disturb her son’s sleep. “Wait, why have you resigned?”

“I’m doing this for your own good, just be grateful.” Qiao Yaruan has always been over-protective. When Shui Anluo had family troubles in the past, she had sheltered and protected her. Now that she knows Shui Anluo was being bullied in the Chu Group’s hospital, she naturally wanted to come over and help.

Shui Anluo also knew that Qiao Yauran had somehow turned into some sort of mother figure for her ever since that incident from one year ago. Even though she may look like a busybody to others, Shui Anluo felt grateful towards her care.

“Then I thank you for your graciousness, oh great one.” Shui Anluo grinned. “However, I need to speak to Chu Ningyi about this first. After all, I’ve just offended the hospital’s director so I can’t possibly give you a recommendation. We can only ask the great godly one to come out from the mountain.”

“Go on, go on. Isn’t he courting you after all? All you need to do is say the word.” Qiao Yaruan grinned. “I’m going to pack first.”

“Right, this insignificant one shall take her leave now,” Shui Anluo replied excitedly.

Qiao Yaruan watched Shui Anluo end the call and clicked her tongue. “If your great god had not extended an olive branch, I would not have made this decision so quickly.”

Based on her observation, Shui Anluo had suffered the most during that year but she had thought that the hard times were over and the sweet moments were only just beginning for her now.

Therefore, she had been really shocked when she had received Chu Ningyi’s call, especially when Chu Ningyi had said that he hoped she could do her internship in the Chu Group’s hospital. This had shocked her the most.

“Do you really have feelings for Luoluo?”

“I don’t know.”

That was their last conversation and Qiao Yaruan did not know what Chu Ningyi had meant either.

As Shui Anluo now has something to speak to Chu Ningyi about, she has to face him. Besides, Qiao Yaruan would be coming over tomorrow. The university’s dormitory had not reopened yet so she wanted to help Qiao Yaruan to find a place to stay.

Knock, knock

There was no reply. Shui Anluo knocked on the door again but no one answered.

“Has he gone to sleep?” Shui Anluo wondered curiously. She could only turn around and leave for now. She can talk to him tomorrow.

Thump…

It sounded like a heavy object had just hit the floor. There was no time for Shui Anluo to think and she quickly opened the door to run into the room. “Chu Ningyi?”

There was no one in the bedroom so the sound must have come from the bathroom. Shui Anluo rushed over and was shocked when she pushed the door open.

“Ah!” Shui Anluo screamed and quickly turned away.

Chu Ningyi had been showering at the time and had lost his footing, pulling a shelf down with him.

‘However, why was she the one screaming? Wasn’t he the one who was exposed and naked?’

“Come in,” said Chu Ningyi in a deep voice.

“I-I had something, no, no, it’s no matter now,” Shui Anluo said and tried to run away.

“My leg is hurting,” Chu Ningyi calmly stated.

His leg was certainly Shui Anluo’s Achilles’ heel. It was her fault for injuring him!

“But you…”

“Shui Anluo, have you never seen this before?” Chu Ningyi snapped impatiently. “Hurry up, my leg is hurting.”
