The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-87

The lights were still shining in Shui Anluo’s room when Chu Ningyi returned home. He hobbled up the stairs on one leg while Uncle Chu carried the wheelchair up before settling it down on the floor.

Chu Ningyi gently patted his stinging thigh. “Uncle Chu, you can go home now. Come again tomorrow morning.”

Uncle Chu nodded before he turned to leave.

Chu Ningyi wheeled himself towards Shui Anluo’s room. The door was half-open and the gap was wide enough for him to spy on the situation inside.

Shui Anluo was sitting on the carpet. There was a pile of notes on her bed but she was rocking her son who was still awake in his cradle. She seemed to be taking more notes with her other hand and her phone was on her bed on a video call.

“But shouldn’t this vein on the heart lean toward this side?” asked Shui Anluo.

“Logically speaking, that would be correct but sometimes, this position isn’t the best course of protection. Have a good look at page seven of my notes, I had mentioned it there.” Mo Lusu, who was on the video call, sipped his coffee as he sat on a balcony.

“Oh, oh…” Shui Anluo said and quickly reached out to open her notebook to page seven. She read that sentence and smiled awkwardly. She had not looked closely enough.

Chu Ningyi continued to sit at the doorway as he watched the person inside. If she were to study like this on a regular basis, she would not have failed so many subjects. Or was she paying so much attention simply because it was Mo Lusu on the other end?

Chu Ningyi clenched his hands on the wheelchair. He suddenly felt that Mo Lusu’s existence was an irritating reality.

“Cough, cough.”

Chu Ningyi cleared his throat.

Shui Anluo was looking at her notes and the little darling in the cradle burst into tears from being ignored.

Shui Anluo turned around. She saw Chu Ningyi and suddenly felt as if her savior had arrived. She quickly crawled up from the ground. “Senior Brother, hang on for a bit, Chu Ningyi is back. I’m going to ask him to take care of the baby.” Shui Anluo quickly picked the baby up and ran to Chu Ningyi’s side, placing him on his lap. “Please, please, I’m busy.”

Chu Ningyi looked at the little darling on his lap while the little darling looked dazedly back at him. He seemed to be unsure about why he had been thrown to his daddy.

Shui Anluo once again sat back down on and continued to write. “Senior Brother, you may continue,” she said.

Mo Lusu raised his head and looked at the sky. Since when has she transformed into someone who would do what she wants?

“Senior Brother?” Shui Anluo noticed that Mo Lusu had not replied so she spoke again.

Mo Lusu returned to his senses and curled his lips. “It’s nothing. Where were we?”

“The heart vein problem,” Shui Anluo mentioned this point seriously as if she did not notice that the expression on the face of the man outside had turned dark.

The little darling looked up and stared at his daddy’s dark expression. He waved his tiny hand in front of his daddy as if trying to draw his attention.

Chu Ningyi looked down at his son who was smiling in a flattering manner. He then reached out and took his little hand. He could not understand what he was being so determined about. Why must he court this woman?

Chu Ningyi mulled it over as he turned his wheelchair around and left the place. He does not wish to listen to a conversation between her and another man.

Shui Anluo, however, has a lot of guts. She keeps challenging his patience.

“Luoluo, is Chu Ningyi treating you well?” Mo Lusu suddenly asked from the other end of the screen.

“He treats me pretty well. He likes the little darling.” Shui Anluo replied naturally as her eyes remained on her notes. However, in the next second, she felt that something was not quite right so she looked at Mo Lusu. “Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?”
