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

Shui Anluo heard the obvious glee Chu Ningyi’s tone and her heart detested him once again.

She never expected that the cold and elegant Director Chu would turn out to be that sort of person.

“Little darling, in the future, you can only say ‘mommy’ and not ‘daddy’, understand?” Shui Anluo sulkily looked down and rebuked her son. However, she finally relaxed when she remembered that Chu Ningyi had not heard his son say ‘daddy’ yet either.

“Bu…” The little darling, whose arms were restrained by his mommy, jumped on his mommy’s lap. His little finger pointed outside, indicating that he wanted to go out.

Shui Anluo carried him and got to her feet. The baby walker that she had bought for him was at her house so she had no way of making the little darling squeal on his own.

After the little darling arrived downstairs, his large eyes looked everywhere as he searched for his beloved steed.

“Ah?” The little darling could not locate his beloved steed and turned around to blink questioningly at his mommy. Where was his beloved steed?

Chu Ningyi was currently sitting on the sofa watching television. He turned to look at his son when he heard his son’s questioning little voice.

“Your beloved steed isn’t here, crawl on your own,” said Shui Anluo as she bent down to place the little darling in his exclusive little world. A thick mat had been spread out beneath it. There was nothing else but toys in that space so Shui Anluo was not afraid of him bumping or knocking into things.

“What beloved steed?” Chu Ningyi frowned and put the remote control down. He looked at his son who had crawled to his side. The little darling’s tiny lotus root arms immediately hugged his daddy’s leg before he used it to support himself as he stood.

Chu Ningyi had initially wanted to pick him up but when he noticed his actions, he raised his brows and stayed still.

Shui Anluo had received a call from the hospital and found out that she would not need to go to the office in the morning. As for the afternoon, it depends on whether the rain lessens or not.

Shui Anluo pursed her lips and threw her phone onto the desk before she headed to the kitchen.

The little darling struggled several times before he fell onto his bottom in defeat.

“Wah…” The little darling could not accept the sting of defeat and looked up at his daddy before he burst into tears.

Chu Ningyi picked his tiny body up and placed him on his lap. He held the baby up by his tiny arms so he could stand. “Little fool.”

“Da, da…” The little darling did not know how to say the word that his father had said but he was trying to learn them from his daddy.

Chu Ningyi was shocked, certain that his little darling was learning to imitate speech again. “Say ‘daddy’, ‘daddy’…”

“Da, da…”

The little darling continued to repeat the word Chu Ningyi had just said even though he did not know what it meant.

Shui Anluo looked back into the living room at the father and son. She really wanted to take her phone and snap a picture so everyone could see how the almighty, cold, and arrogant Director Chu teased his own son.

She wondered if such a hilarious Director Chu could sell in the news.

“Chew up whatever you’re thinking and swallow it.”

Just as Shui Anluo was standing at the doorway as she considered doing that, Chu Ningyi’s ice-cold voice rang out.

Shui Anluo rolled her eyes and turned back to the kitchen. However, just as she was thinking about what she should cook, the doorbell rang. Shui Anluo turned around at stared at the man who was still playing with his son on the sofa and put her slightly raised foot down.

Was she a masochist? Why does she want to open the door on her own at once?

“Director Chu, open the door.” Shui Anluo leaned against the kitchen doorway and grinned as she spoke.

“Or…” The little darling imitated his mommy’s last syllable and used the same tone to speak to his daddy.

Chu Ningyi turned around to stare at her coolly. When had the almighty Director Chu answered the door when there was someone else in the house?

However, Shui Anluo has no intention of opening the door and only grinned at him.
