The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting - Chapter 578

Shui Anluo’s large eyes darted around as if she was considering the feasibility of this matter.

Chu Ningyi noticed the movement of her eyes but he did not move. “Hurry up, you only have one chance.”

The more he prompted her, the more Shui Anluo felt that he was unbelievable.

“Forget it, you’re too two-faced, I certainly don’t want… Ah!” Before Shui Anluo could finish speaking, he had pulled her back and she fell into his lap. “You…”

Chu Ningyi wrapped one arm around her waist and chucked her chin before he gently pecked it. “I’ve given you a chance. Now, it’s my turn.”

Shui Anluo wants to cry, this was not how the story was supposed to go. Why had she ended up getting teased after giving up?

Chu Ningyi stared at Shui Anluo who was close to tears but could not weep and he felt his spirits lift. He immediately lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. His large hand also began to naughtily snake its way under her thin woolen sweater.

“Mm…” Shui Anluo’s body quivered and she quickly held his hand back. “Hold on, I need to talk to you about something.”

“We’ll talk after kissing.” Chu Ningyi struggled out from her grasp and continued his exploration.

‘Big Brother, do you call this kissing?’

Shui Anluo’s head leaned aside and caused his kiss to land on her cheek. However, it traced along her cheekbone and trailed down instead.

Shui Anluo pursed her lips and refused to let any abnormal sounds escape from her lips.

“Money…” Shui Anluo suddenly said.

‘Money?’

This time, Chu Ningyi stopped and lifted his head to look at the blushing girl.

“What, do you still want to talk about money?”

“Go away.” Shui Anluo heard the laughter in his voice and slapped him on the chest. “The money for the madman.”

“I’m sleeping with my wife and I have to make him pay for it?” Director Chu was enraged.

Shui Anluo was in tears!

‘Big Brother, can you not be like this?’

‘Besides, who’s his wife?’

“It’s the money for his role as a spokesperson. Give me half of that portion, I want to give it to the Empress Dowager,” Shui Anluo said and held out her hand as if asking for money.

Chu Ningyi looked up and down at her. These two little vampires.

“Are both of you that short on money?”

“No, but since his money is free, I shouldn’t refuse it,” Shui Anluo replied matter-of-factly. “Besides, he’s always bullying my Empress Dowager. Why can’t I take some of his money?”

Chu Ningyi raised his brow, it was difficult to say who was bullying who in this matter.

“If you want the money, fine. But that also depends on your performance.”

The corners of Shui Anluo’s lips twitched. She wanted to say: Director Chu, the way you said the word ‘performance’ sounded rather ambiguous.

Chu Ningyi released her and leaned back against his chair, watching and waiting for her to act.

Shui Anluo thought about it seriously, how was she supposed to perform?

“I’ll cook for you, how about that?” Shui Anluo grinned.

“A spicy banquet?”

“How could I? I must make Director Chu’s favorite food,” Shui Anluo replied adoringly yet secretly called him petty in her heart. That incident had occurred several hundred years ago yet he still remembers it.

“What’re you thinking about?”

“Brother Chu, you’re so handsome,” Shui Anluo immediately replied adoringly like a lackey.

Chu Ningyi stared at the look of adoration on her face. He scoffed and pinched her little bun-like face as he said, “Come on, it’s time to go home.”

“Mmhmm.” Shui Anluo grinned and got up from his lap. She then turned to face Chu Ningyi and said, “Yuan Jiayi just had surgery, aren’t you going to visit her? After all, you’re her only relative.”

Shui Anluo had struggled for a long time before she could finally spit those words out.

Chu Ningyi raised his brow and turned his computer off. He then got up and circled around his office desk as he spoke, “Unlike a certain someone, I don’t like to give others false hope.”
