Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 872 - 871: Recovery (Part 5)

Everyone kept watching them until they left for a while, then someone started speaking excitedly, "If I could have this man, I’d willingly die right now!"

Someone beside them immediately poured cold water on them, "Stop dreaming, that’s Young Master Shi, the CEO of the Shi Family, and the one next to him is his wife."

"Oh, how do you know?"

"That magnificent wedding over a month ago was their wedding, a perfect match like that is unforgettable~ But their relationship is truly exceptional, unlike the many fake marriages from wealthy families."

"Tch~ You think they’re faking it too?"

"Fake? Look at Young Master Shi’s gaze towards Ling Chuxia, so full of affection, if faking can be like that, then it’s definitely true love, right?"

This scene, unsurprisingly, appeared on the front page the next day. Although Shi Che and Ling Chuxia aren’t celebrities, this exposure rivaled any star’s spotlight, staying on Weibo’s trending list for over half a month.

Shi Che and Ling Chuxia’s life gradually returned to a warm normalcy, yet Ling Yunshu’s life started to become increasingly tumultuous.

Every day, watching the media expose Shi Che and Ling Chuxia’s loving interactions was like a hundred hands ruthlessly tearing at her heart. She wanted them to be unhappy, but now, they were so blissfully happy.

Why?

Clearly, Ling Chuxia was no longer pure, having slept with another man, yet Shi Che didn’t mind at all. Not only did he marry her, but he treated her even better than before.

So well that every woman in the world was jealous.

She truly couldn’t understand, could never understand, what it was about Ling Chuxia that Shi Che liked, to the extent of disregarding everything else.

And his disregard drove her to madness.

She stared intently at those newspapers, clenched her fists tightly, and finally grabbed them furiously, tearing them into shreds.

Time ticked away, and soon more than a month passed. Ling Chuxia’s baby safely passed the first trimester, and her mental burdens were completely dissolved by Shi Che’s gentleness and love during this period.

All her nightmares vanished, her concerns about the child faded, and she felt that the child she was carrying was indeed hers and Shi Che’s.

Having once lost a child and with Ling Chuxia’s health not being great, even though she passed the first trimester, Ling Chuxia remained extremely cautious. Sometimes, Shi Che, seeing her being so careful, couldn’t recall her previous decisiveness in not wanting a child.

Ever since he knew about Ling Chuxia’s pregnancy, Shi Che had Xiao Zhao buy many books, including "Early Pregnancy Precautions for Expectant Mothers," "Complete Guide to Pregnancy," "Bearing a Healthy Baby," "Diary of an Expectant Father," and others.

And every night, Shi Che would lean against the headboard, holding Ling Chuxia in his arms, reading those books to her, word by word.

His voice was deep, with a slight huskiness, rustling, and especially pleasing to the ear.

Ling Chuxia listened intently every time, her dark eyes shimmering, pondering repeatedly over any unclear sections. She was never this earnest, even during her school days.

As she watched, she couldn’t help but be captivated.

Halfway through the reading, Shi Che suddenly put the book down, then quickly turned his body, enveloping Ling Chuxia beneath him.
