The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting-Chapter 17: Drawing Attention

Chu Ningyi was in the study facing his computer as clear and bright laughter rang from it.

“You bought twenty boxes of milk powder?” The woman in the video call was dressed in a white lab coat. She, who had yet to get off work, was mercilessly teasing Chu Ningyi.

“Is it very funny?” Chu Ningyi retorted with a sunken expression on his face.

“It’s quite funny,” Lin Qianchen replied as she resisted the urge to laugh. “I heard that you’ve taken Anluo back. She should be going for her internship after this year’s summer vacation. Let her come to my place, I can take care of her at the same time.”

“We shall see,” Chu Ningyi replied indifferently. “What about the matter I’ve asked you about?”

“I know, it’s to sort out the computer files. Really, you can’t even raise your child. What kind of father are you?” Lin Qianchen clicked her tongue and soon turned off the video call.

At this moment in the hospital, Shui Anjiao was glaring at Lin Qianchen indignantly. “Cousin, why are you helping that little sl*t?”

Lin Qianchen tapped the computer with her finger but the smile in her eyes was laced with ice.

“Did I say that I’d help her?” Lin Qianchen chuckled. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to see you. Haven’t you heard? My wedding has been canceled.” Shui Anjiao quietly replied. “That little sl*t, Shui Anluo, must have done something.”

“Shui Anjiao, if there’s nothing else, you should look at yourself and search for the reason. You and Anluo are as different as night and day,” Lin Qianchen said and shot her younger cousin an irritated glare. She then changed her clothes and took her bag before leaving.

She wanted to deal with Shui Anluo. That was her business. If she were to cooperate with Shui Anjiao, she would only end up hurting herself.

Shui Anluo had cooked some noodles for herself for dinner. The little darling had eaten his fill and was playing with his toys in his cot. He did not cry or fuss.

Chu Ningyi stepped out from the study and happened to catch Shui Anluo eating her noodles. There was only one bowl of noodles on the entire table and it was in front of her. It was determined that he would not share a part of this dinner.

Shui Anluo and the little darling lifted their heads to look at him. The little baby gurgled. He clearly did not have a good impression of his father so he lowered his head and continued to flick his toy.

Shui Anluo blinked before lowering her head to continue to eat her noodles.

Chu Ningyi’s expression grew even uglier. He walked forward and took a seat opposite Shui Anluo before snatching the bowl and chopsticks away.

Shui Anluo was stunned as she looked at her empty hands. “What?”

“My bowl, my noodles, my water, my kitchen.” Therefore, this bowl of noodles belonged to him.

Shui Anluo rolled her eyes. She rose to her feet in the end and scooped the little baby up in her arms. “Then you can enjoy it,” Shui Anluo said as she headed outside.

“Where are you going?” Chu Ningyi coldly asked.

“To get food,” replied Shui Anluo. She then slammed the door shut before she suddenly remembered that she needed an access card to use the elevator. She had returned her card to the Chu family a year ago so she was now stuck, unable to go down or go back.

Chu Ningyi opened the front door and stared at the woman who was holding and playing with his son in front of the elevator. It had been a year since he had last seen her but she had changed beyond his expectations. If someone had not purposely tried to protect her, he would probably never have met his son.

“Come in,” said Chu Ningyi before he turned to leave.

Shui Anluo rolled her eyes but did not move.

Chu Ningyi turned back to glare at her. His expression turned even uglier as he said, “Shui Anluo, are you trying to make me angry so you can get my attention?”

“Heh, I’m sorry. In contrast to your attention, my son is more important than you.” Shui Anluo chuckled. He had snatched her noodles yet he still had the cheek to say these kinds of things?
