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

Chapter 604: My Mother Never Asked Me To Study Etiquette

Shui Anluo was injured again. Even He Xiaoran could not ignore it anymore. On the second day of Shui Anluo’s return, He Xiaoran had visited after Chu Ningyi left for work.

Shui Anluo was playing with the little darling on the bed. Recently, the little darling was doing better at balancing on his two legs. Shui Anluo helped him to stand on the bed then carefully released him.

The little darling was unable to stand probably because the bed was too soft. He toppled over in a moment but he seems to have an iron-clad will. If he could not stand up once, he would try a second time. He slowly continued patiently.

Shui Anluo sighed. This temperament of his was just like his dad’s.

Finally, after practicing the entire morning, the little darling was able to stand for three seconds on the bed.

“How amazing! Here’s a kiss from Mommy!” Shui Anluo held him planted a big fat kiss on his little cheek. The little darling gurgled with laughter as his little hand wiped the sweat from his little head. He was exhausted.

Shui Anluo grabbed a tissue and dabbed the sweat from his forehead. She took the milk bottle which was filled with water and put it in his mouth. The little darling held it on his own immediately. He then lay on the bed and began to drink, kicking his tiny feet freely.

Shui Anluo lowered her head and continued to dry his forehead when the guest room’s door burst open. Shui Anluo looked up and was so surprised that she nearly threw the tissue in her hand away.

Maid Yu was standing behind their visitor and was gesturing wildly at Shui Anluo. However, she could not understand a thing as her gestures looked too demonic.

He Xiaoran frowned and turned around to look because Shui Anluo was staring too intensely. Maid Yu immediately returned to normal. Her speed reminded Shui Anluo of two words – what perfection!

After He Xiaoran stared at Maid Yu, she walked to the side of the bed. She then looked at the bandaged foot.

“You got this from kicking a car?”

She was irritated!

Shui Anluo felt an unprecedented level of irritation from her former mother-in-law.

“Even though you’re younger compared to Ningyi, you’re someone’s mother now. Can’t you use your brain a little when managing things? How’re you going to support Ningyi to keep his foothold in the business world? In his current position, he can’t lack…”

Blah blah blah blah…

Gold stars formed in front of Shui Anluo’s eyes as she listened to her former mother-in-law. Her former mother-in-law’s mouth was on par with Young Master Hua’s[1]. She was really amazing.

Shui Anluo listened to her good-naturedly like a good girl.

“So, after your injury heals this time, I’ll arrange for someone to teach you some customary practices and some etiquette.”

This was the main point.

“What?” The synapses in Shui Anluo’s brain finally returned to their senses from the string of noise.

‘Learn etiquette?’

This was not the inner court in ancient China. Not even her mother had forced her to study etiquette, okay?

“What, don’t you think that you’ve caused enough disasters? Look at it yourself. How many jobs has Ningyi delayed because of you? You’re over twenty, how can you…”

“Madam, the Young Madam is still young.” Maid Yu could not hold back from trying to advise her.

“And you, did I send you here only to take care of the small one? Were you supposed to neglect the big one?”

“I’ll learn, I’ll learn.” Shui Anluo hurriedly interrupted when she saw that Maid Yu was being scolded. Maid Yu had indulged her the most and had helped her out a lot. She definitely would not be able to cope if Maid Yu were to leave.

He Xiaoran left after she blabbed and scolded them. Shui Anluo and Maid Yu looked at each other.

It looks like she was going to be very unlucky over the next few days.

“Not even my mother had made me study etiquette,” Shui Anluo groaned. Even though Soaring Distance Technologies was nothing compared to the Chu Group, they were still considered as elites in ‘A’ City. Her mother had never demanded any form of etiquette from her.
