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

Mo Lusu and Chu Ningyi’s car drove in two different directions at the intersection.

Mo Lusu smirked mockingly as he watched Chu Ningyi’s car leave.

Chu Ningyi looked down at the little darling in his arms. The baby’s eyes were starting to close as he gradually fell asleep. His gaze darkened.

“Your mommy…” Chu Ningyi murmured but his voice was mixed with a sense of insecurity. He did not complete the next part of his sentence.

Mo Lusu drove his car all the way to the campus. Shui Anluo followed him down the car and they went to the campus cafeteria because Shui Anluo had not eaten yet.

Luckily, the university cafeteria’s last call was at ten-thirty at night so students who were studying could still get something to eat when they got back.

Shui Anluo always placed her meal card in her purse so she always had it with her wherever she went. Naturally, the task of buying food was placed on Shui Anluo’s shoulders because Mo Lusu did not have a meal card.

After getting two bowls of rice, Shui Anluo sat in front of a dazed-looking Mo Lusu and stared at him.

“Senior Brother?”

Mo Lusu turned back and looked at the food that was placed in front of him. He smiled crookedly and picked up his chopsticks. “Luoluo, do you remember the first time we met?”

Shui Anluo cocked her head to one side, thought for a bit and replied, “It was my first year of university, you were in front of me when I was buying food but your meal card had run out of money. I had swiped my card for you.” Shui Anluo pointed at a window on the opposite side as she said, “Right there.”

Mo Lusu did not turn around but chuckled softly instead.

“I’m not an illegitimate child,” Mo Lusu suddenly spoke up.

The corners of Shui Anluo’s lips twitched. She lowered her head and ate her rice with a thick sense of awkwardness.

“About my connection to the Chu family,” said Mo Lusu as he gently tapped on the table. He seemed to be struggling to convey the words from his heart. “My mother’s name is Chu Anxin. She was the Third Young Miss of the Chu family.”

The chopsticks in Shui Anluo’s hand trembled and she could not stop herself from staring at Mo Lusu with alarm. Chu Anxin, she had never heard of this name. The Third Young Miss of the Chu family, Chu Ningyi’s third aunt?

“My mother and father had married for business reasons. She did not love my father but in order to get the Mo family to help the Chu family out in a crisis, Qiao Huihe had forced my mother to marry my father. Later on, the Chu family’s crisis was resolved and their relationship became strained. My mother had asked for a divorce many times but was rejected by Qiao Huihe. Later on, my father had tacitly consented to let my mother run away several times but, in the end, Qiao Huihe had always sent people to bring her back.”

A sorrowful glint flashed across Mo Lusu’s eyes as he spoke.

Shui Anluo slowly stopped eating. Qiao Huihe was his grandmother, right? But there was only hatred when he had mentioned her.

“Later on, my father also became fed up with their loveless marriage so he had another woman on the side.”

Mo Lusu sneered again as he spoke, “My mother then used my father’s affair as an excuse, hoping that Qiao Huihe would agree to their divorce. However, Qiao Huihe’s condition was that my mother had to give birth to a child to restrict the Mo family.”

Shui Anluo could hear the mocking tone in Mo Lusu’s voice. That explained why he had become totally different in the Chu family home.

“For the sake of her freedom, my mother and my father had me. However, after I was born, Qiao Huihe broke her promise of allowing my parents to get a divorce. At that time, my mother also suffered from postnatal depression. Not too long after…”

Shui Anluo shuddered as she listened. No wonder he hates the Chu family so much. The Chu family had forced their daughter to choose death and forced Mo Lusu’s mother to die. It explained why no one had greeted Mo Lusu when he appeared at the Chu family home but no one had asked him to leave either.

Mo Lusu stared at Shui Anluo seriously and asked in a serious tone, “Luoluo, that woman, Qiao Huihe, will do anything to achieve her objectives, by hook or by crook. Have you really thought things through between you and Chu Ningyi?”
