Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 870 - 869: Improvement (Part 3)

Shi Che acted as if he hadn’t noticed, his thin lips kept moving as he spoke, "Chuxia, a long time ago, I kept thinking, if we had a child, what would it be like? Like you, or like me, or like both of us, but it would definitely be very beautiful, with big eyes, a small nose, and a smile that makes its eyes curve, full of energy."

Perhaps it was because Shi Che’s voice was too gentle, or perhaps his imagination was too beautiful, Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but follow his words, and a small figure appeared in her mind.

It was very beautiful, with the same dark and brilliant eyes as Shi Che, and a nose as delicate as hers, a small mouth, slightly grinning, smiling innocently and charmingly. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Such a smile seemed to really begin to melt away the gloom in her heart.

It’s not like the child she dreamt of in nightmares, that child had no face, only an eerie, cold aura, like a poisonous snake, its sharpness behind her.

But the child Shi Che described was beautiful, sunny, full of energy.

Would her and Shi Che’s child be like this? Would the child in her belly now really be hers and Shi Che’s?

Ling Chuxia’s eyes stiffly and slowly fell to her abdomen, her hand unconsciously lifted slightly, but eventually, she clenched her fist and put her hand back.

All her expressions and actions were clearly seen by Shi Che, his eyes shimmered slightly, with a hint of gentle glow.

Shi Che couldn’t possibly stay at home accompanying Ling Chuxia all the time, the company’s matters needed handling in the end. These past few days, Ling Chuxia’s mood had gradually stabilized, the nightmares occurred less and less, and she even slightly accepted the existence of this child. So Ling Chuxia persuaded Shi Che to return to the office, but Shi Che couldn’t be at ease leaving her at home alone. He considered having Sister Hua come to take care of her, but since she hadn’t completely recovered, Sister Hua’s presence might cause some unwanted trouble. After much thought, Shi Che simply decided to bring Ling Chuxia to work with him.

Shi Che’s office already had a lounge, but he still wasn’t assured, so he had the lounge wall taken down and replaced with floor-to-ceiling glass. This way, while he worked, Ling Chuxia could stay inside, allowing him to keep an eye on her at all times, and she could watch him too.

Ling Chuxia hadn’t had the chance to complain about his extravagance before everything was efficiently set up, and in the morning, when she wanted to stay in bed a bit longer, he dragged her out, made her brush her teeth, wash up, have breakfast, then got her into the car, bringing her to the office.

She had known Shi Che was domineering, but she hadn’t realized his true domineering side was so straightforward and efficient.

After her protest proved futile, Ling Chuxia let him have his way—after all, she didn’t really want to stay home alone either. Occasionally, when she’s alone, that nightmare would unconsciously flash in her mind.

But if she looked at Shi Che, her mind would be entirely filled with him, completely filled.

After Ling Chuxia and Shi Che’s wedding caused a sensation in Liang City, naturally, some journalists secretly followed them, reporting updates now and then.

Shi Che bringing Ling Chuxia to work every day quickly made the newspaper headlines. Back when they got married, Ling Chuxia was rarely seen by Shi Che’s side. Unexpectedly, after their reunion, they were so entwined, Shi Che couldn’t even be apart from her during work hours.
