The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting - Chapter 375

Chapter 375 Stop Being Silly

As Chu Ningyi descended the mountain, he spied a figure lingering in the shadows. He smirked and promptly avoided the figure.

When he spotted Qiao Yaruan who was still searching with the others downstream, he looked down at Shui Anluo who was sound asleep and turned around to leave.

He had to teach that girl a lesson. Otherwise, she would continue to lead his little brain-dead idiot into harm’s way.

Qiao Yaruan had stopped crying but her voice was extremely hoarse, like the sound of a broken gong. She had searched along the river but could not find a thing. Instead, others at the front had managed to find two other military officers who had been swept away.

When Qiao Yaruan the voices from ahead of her, she quickly ran and stumbled toward them. Her hoarse voice demanded that they get out of the way.

Feng Feng silently tagged along behind her though he was frowning the entire way.

Qiao Yaruan was now very sad but he was not happy either because he was not the cause behind her sadness. How could she be saddened because of another person?

Once Qiao Yaruan arrived at the spot and saw that the muddied bodies were not female, she let go of her anxious state. She fell and sat in the mud as she said hoarsely, “It isn’t her, it isn’t her. If they can’t find her body, that means that she’s still alive. She’s still alive.”

“Qiao Yaruan, that’s enough.” Feng Feng felt strangely frustrated at the sight of her desolate state. He approached Qiao Yaruan and pulled her to her feet. “Take a good look at the state you’re in.”

“I don’t need your concern.” Qiao Yaruan reached out and pushed him away. However, he did not move and she fell into the mud instead, splattering dirty water all over her face.

Qiao Yaruan’s push caused Feng Feng to stumble backward. His fiery rage flared up even more. Was this woman crazy? Must she insist on giving her life away as compensation to Shui Anluo?

Besides, they could not find Shui Anluo’s body and Eldest Chu still has not appeared. No one knew if she was dead or alive.

Feng Feng thought about this as he helped Qiao Yaruan up. He ignored her struggles and dragged her away. He suppressed her and spoke angrily into her ear, “Don’t cause a scene. Do you really think Eldest Chu could stay quiet if anything really happened to Shui Anluo?”

Qiao Yaruan paused in her attempt to get away. “What did you say?”

Feng Feng quickly carried her away from this place. “Eldest Chu hasn’t appeared at all. If he hasn’t found Shui Anluo, he probably knows where she is. That’s enough of your theatrical act now,” Feng Feng said and threw Qiao Yaruan into the car. Just as she was about to struggle even further, he immediately suppressed her into the passenger’s seat and reached out to help her seatbelt on. “A show that goes overboard produces the opposite of its desired result.”

Qiao Yaruan endured the scorching agony in her throat and pursed her lips tightly as she glared at him. However, she did not know if she should believe what he had just said.

Feng Feng reached out and stroked her face. “Stop being silly, the King of Hell won’t dare to take her away without Eldest Chu’s permission,” Feng Feng said and buckled her into her seat. He then quickly walked over to start the car and leave the place.

‘Why had I consoled her?’ Feng Feng wondered. ‘I’m the only one who can cause give her pain. No one else has that right, not even Chu Ningyi.’

Chu Ningyi arrived home with Shui Anluo in the wee hours of the morning.

Maid Yu opened the door to find this scene and gasped, “Oh, my dear…”

Chu Ningyi frowned and hinted at Maid Yu to lower her voice.

Maid Yu understood and immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

“Maid Yu, the baby will sleep with you tonight. Also, starting tomorrow, don’t let anyone in the house and don’t tell anyone about what’s going on in our home.”

Maid Yu nodded seriously as she covered her mouth. She would never say a thing.
