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

Shui Anluo kept quiet. Naturally, Chu Ningyi also stayed quiet and stared at her in silence.

Shui Anluo twisted her clothes uneasily. She had clearly put herself in a vulnerable state and granted him face. However, she never anticipated that Chu Ningyi would end up refusing to appreciate the favor and poke at her vulnerability instead.

How was she supposed to respond now?

Furthermore, if she continued to speak, would she not end up choking on her words?

And if she stayed silent, would she have to stand here the entire time?

Shu Anluo thought for a moment before she clenched her fists again and stared at him. “Do you love me?”

“Nope!”

Pfft…

His answer was so direct and immediately shattered Shui Anluo’s newly-fused glass heart.

Shui Anluo muttered in her heart, ‘ b*stard, if you don’t love me, why are you pretending to have such strong feelings?’

“However, I’m trying.”

That light and airy sentence was leisurely thrown out.

‘Uh…’

‘However, I’m trying?’

‘Trying to court her and fall in love with her?’

That shattered glass heart seemed to become whole again.

‘However, Chairman Chu, can’t you finish your sentence?’

“What if you fail again after trying so hard?” She knows she was being unreasonable but being unreasonable was a woman’s specialty.

“Let’s talk about this later.” Chu Ningyi lowered his head and looked at the sleeping little baby who did not even open his eyes. He whispered a little and turned in his sleep.

He was such a tiny person yet he was changing every day.

Shui Anluo rolled her eyes at the ceiling. His response was equivalent to not answering at all.

“Are you really not doing this for the child’s sake or the shares?” Shui Anluo decided not to go around in circles with him anymore and asked straightforwardly.

Chu Ningyi frowned and placed the baby on the bed. He got up with one leg and slowly drew closer to Shui Anluo.

Shui Anluo peeked at the wall behind her. In order to avoid being forced against the wall, she decided not to retreat any further and stood her ground. There was no way he could slam his hands against the bare air.

Shui Anluo did not back down as Chu Ningyi got off the bed and stood in front of her. One of his hands fell naturally on her shoulder but she continued to face forward.

To avoid being touched, she leaned back. At this moment, she should be thanking her mom for forcing her to take dance classes when she was a child. Her waist’s flexibility has turned out so well.

This angle was now  more than 90 degrees ¹  but the person above her continued to lean down.

‘Big Brother, isn’t your leg broken? Is your one leg that strong?’

Chu Ningyi pushed her shoulder with one hand but the top half of Shui Anluo’s body remained free.

Therefore, this proves that thumping against the air was impossible.

“How’s the Chu Group compared to Soaring Distance Technologies?”

“They are m-more than Soaring Distance Technologies, ten times over.” Shui Anluo muttered in a trembling voice. This position was thoroughly testing the strength of her waist. Why had she not chosen the wall in the first place…

“Do you think then that I’d spend so much effort on you just for the sake of a small company?” Chu Ningyi’s words were still light and lofty but they hammered into Shui Anluo’s ears. They sounded rather ominous.

“No, I don’t think so.” Shui Anluo smiled awkwardly but she could not hang on in this position for very much longer.

“You don’t think so?” Chu Ningyi raised his brow and repeated himself. He had no intention of saving her. Instead, the residual heat continued to ring in her ears.

Shui Anluo wanted to lean back further but this angle was her limit. If she continued to bend backward, she would thump onto the ground.
