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

Chapter 496: Your Father Didn’t Convince Me Either

Feng Feng drew closer and closer to her. He was unsure if he was reacting because of her words or because her aura was too enticing. A change has occurred in his body — one that should not be there at all.

Feng Feng cursed softly when he realized this and he got up and left.

“Crazy ba*tard.” Qiao Yaruan scoffed and continued to sit on the stool, waiting for Shui Anluo to wake up.

Feng Feng left and walked to the corner of a wall before placing his hands on it. He had actually felt an urge toward that woman, Qiao Yaruan. This was not normal.

Feng Feng looked up and stared at Qiao Yaruan who was looking worriedly at the ward. This woman was indeed attractive but in contrast to the woman who had been with him in the past, she was not that good looking at all. Besides, her temper was so explosive that she did not seem like a woman at all.

Qiao Yaruan would look at the ward from time to time. The concern on her face was so clear that one wishes to pull her into their arms and console her, to tell her that everything will be alright.

Shui Anluo lay down for a while and turned her head around when she did not hear any further movement outside. She blinked at Chu Ningyi. “Are they gone?”

“Nope, still at the door,” Chu Ningyi calmly replied and looked at his son who was yawning as he lay on the bed.

Shui Anluo looked outside but could not see a thing.

Chu Ningyi gently patted the little darling’s body and he soon fell asleep again.

“Old Madam.”

Uncle Chu’s voice suddenly rang out, causing Shui Anluo to turn her head back and shut her eyes again. Chu Ningyi tucked her in before he got up to greet the person who had walked in.

Lan Xin was following Qiao Huihe into the room.

“What’s going on? Can’t we ever get a break?” Qiao Huihe frowned as she asked. When she saw the mother and son, her frown deepened. “Are you going to leave the baby here?”

“Maid Yu is coming by soon to take him away,” Chu Ningyi calmly replied.

Qiao Huihe scoffed. “Ningyi, give me a reason why you plan on choosing her.”

Chu Ningyi gently neatened his sleeve. “Grandmother, when you had ignored your family’s protests and married my grandfather, what was your reason then?”

“That’s why I regret it!” Qiao Huihe scoffed.

Chu Ningyi paused in his actions. Alright, he had used the wrong example.

“What about when my father had married my mother, didn’t you oppose them as well? Hence, the reason my father had given is the same as mine.”

“But your father didn’t convince me either,” Qiao Huihe replied sharply.

Chu Ningyi curled his lips. “That’s just nice. My mother’s position as Mrs. Chu is quite stable now so I’ve got nothing to worry about, right?”

“You...” Qiao Huihe’s hands trembled with anger. “Must you insist on angering me like your father?”

“Grandmother, you’re angry at yourself.” Chu Ningyi seemed helpless as he looked at Qiao Huihe. “Since you’re going to oppose this, why didn’t you do so two years ago? Perhaps you might’ve been successful then.”

Lan Xin held Qiao Huihe’s hand and looked at Chu Ningyi. “Ningyi, regardless of the situation, Teacher is still your grandmother. How can you say such things to her?” Lan Xin looked at Qiao Huihe as she spoke. “Besides, Teacher, aren’t you here because you were worried about Junior Sister? Why did you lie about your feelings?”

Shui Anluo had stayed on the bed and only opened her eyes to look outside the window. Senior Brother said that Qiao Huihe had forced his mother to die but Chu Ningyi said that the truth of the matter should come from Mo Lusu’s father. Who was telling the truth here?
