Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 861 - 860: Pregnant (Part 10)

He was just about to get up, but Ling Chuxia suddenly grabbed his hand, and Shi Che remained in a half-squatting position, his dark eyes looking over. Ling Chuxia’s eyes, unbeknownst to him, had turned red.

She stared at him steadily, her eyes slowly filling with tears. "Shi Che, I don’t want this child."

Shi Che’s dark eyes returned the gaze to Ling Chuxia. His voice held a hint of bitterness, yet it was as firm as ever. "Chuxia, this is our child."

"It’s not... it’s..." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Before Ling Chuxia could finish, Shi Che interrupted her, "Chuxia, no matter what, it is our child."

Ling Chuxia understood what Shi Che meant. He was promising her that no matter whether the child was his or not after it was born, he would consider it his.

Tears suddenly fell, falling directly onto the back of Shi Che’s hand. Ling Chuxia seemed to suddenly lose her ability to speak, unable to utter a single word.

How could there be such a man? How could there be such a good man? So good that she almost couldn’t bear it.

"Shi Che, don’t be like this..."

To be fair, when he learned Ling Chuxia was pregnant, did he really feel not even a little bit troubled?

No, it was impossible for him to feel no trouble.

Like when he learned Ling Chuxia had been with another man... it was like a giant hand tearing at his heart, causing unbearable pain.

She was meant to be his woman, wholly and completely his.

Yet, no matter how heart-wrenching the pain, he couldn’t show it in front of Ling Chuxia because her pain was greater than his.

"Chuxia, do you remember what I said before?"

Shi Che cupped Ling Chuxia’s face with both hands. "There is no one else between us. You only have me. As long as you think of me, it’s enough. This child, it must be mine, okay?"

"What if it’s not?"

The events of that night could be forgotten in Shi Che’s tenderness, but now it’s different. This child, this was a constant reminder of her guilt.

If this child were Shi Che’s, it would indeed be a happy ending. But what if it’s not?

She couldn’t bear the outcome, nor did she want Shi Che to bear it.

As soon as Ling Chuxia finished speaking, Shi Che spoke heavily, "There is no ’what if’!"

His dark eyes were deep, fixedly looking at Ling Chuxia. His hand slowly moved to caress Ling Chuxia’s abdomen, "It must be my child."

But at this moment, Ling Chuxia couldn’t hear anything. She clutched Shi Che’s hand, urgently speaking, "Shi Che, you’re just worried that surgery might affect my health. I couldn’t give birth to begin with, that’s the worst result. Didn’t you say you found a baby before? We can adopt if we want children!"

If the worst outcome were just not being able to have children, Shi Che wouldn’t be pushing Ling Chuxia like this now. He didn’t care if she could have children before, and he naturally wouldn’t care about this now. It’s just... her body really couldn’t endure another miscarriage. No one could predict the outcome, and he couldn’t let her take the risk.

Furthermore, there was a fifty percent chance this child was his, wasn’t there?

"Chuxia, if you want to adopt children, we can adopt as many as you want. But this child, we also want."

Ling Chuxia weakly let go of Shi Che’s hand, tears sliding down one by one.

Shi Che once again cupped her face, speaking word by word, "Chuxia, keep the child, I beg you."
