Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 877 - 876: Recovery (Part 10)

The restaurant was bustling as usual, with nearly every table occupied. For a moment, there were no seats available, so Shi Che and Ling Chuxia had no choice but to find a table where the occupants seemed nearly done eating and wait beside it.

In such a small restaurant, usually filled with students, suddenly such an attractive couple appeared; the handsome man and beautiful woman stood out, causing people to glance over constantly.

Shi Che was long accustomed to the attention of the crowd and didn’t feel anything about it. Ling Chuxia, on the other hand, was a bit embarrassed initially, but ever since that day when Shi Che helped her try on shoes in front of everyone and it ended up in the news headlines, she felt her skin had grown thicker. She could almost pretend to ignore those gazes, and upon entering the restaurant, smelling the familiar aroma, Ling Chuxia unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Although Ling Chuxia had regained her appetite, she still didn’t eat much, not because she didn’t want to, but because she really couldn’t. Eating too much made her frown involuntarily, and if she forced herself, she felt like she would throw up. Thus, Shi Che had no way to force her; he could only let her eat whatever she wanted, taking her to places she liked, hoping she might eat a bit more.

So, seeing Ling Chuxia swallowing like this was rare. Shi Che playfully pinched her nose, and when he saw someone get up, leaving an empty table, he led Ling Chuxia to sit down.

The staff swiftly came to clean the table, and just as Ling Chuxia was about to order, Shi Che spoke first, "Two bowls of beef noodles, no onions, mildly spicy."

The waiter responded quickly, "Alright~" and then turned and left.

Upon hearing Shi Che’s order, Ling Chuxia was slightly stunned for a moment, then her eyes curved with a smile, "Shi Che, have you been remembering my preferences since we were kids?"

Before, whenever they went out to eat, Shi Che would always be the one to order, and every time he ordered dishes she loved. But when she asked, he always said he was just randomly picking. Back then, she didn’t dare question it, but now she realized that it wasn’t random at all—Shi Che had always remembered her preferences by heart.

Shi Che’s face already had a slight blush, and now with Ling Chuxia’s teasing, it reddened a bit more. He was never afraid to express his feelings and sincerity in front of Ling Chuxia, but being teased about youthful feelings, a hint of shyness emerged in his heart. Still, he wouldn’t let this little woman underestimate him, so he acted as if he hadn’t heard anything.

However, it was rare for Ling Chuxia to be able to tease Shi Che, so she didn’t want to let it go easily. She pulled her chair closer to him, her charming face swaying left and right in front of him, "Is it? Is it? Is it?"

Her voice was light and crisp, truly reminiscent of the noisy girl from their younger days, always persistently asking him "Is it, is it?" whenever he was reluctant to admit something.

She wouldn’t stop until he nodded.

Yet no matter how Ling Chuxia asked this time, Shi Che remained calm and composed, not responding at all. Ling Chuxia pouted, lowered her head to look at her belly, and while stroking it, she said, "Baby, don’t learn from your dad, daring to do but not daring to admit. In the future, if you fall for someone, you must rush to tell her right away that she’s the one you like!"

Back then, she wasn’t aware of her feelings. If she had known earlier, she would have been brave enough to rush to him and tell Shi Che she liked him.
