Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 881 - 880: Recovery (Part 14)

Ling Chuxia could not help but feel a lingering fear just thinking about it and instinctively reached out to hug Shi Che tightly.

Shi Che gently stroked her long hair and embraced Ling Chuxia, whispering softly in her ear, "So many misunderstandings couldn’t separate us, which means we are destined to be together for a lifetime."

Coming from youth and bitterness, having weathered the storms, makes the sweetness of today all the more precious, which is surely a good thing.

"Yes, together for a lifetime." Ling Chuxia smiled and made a firm promise.

All the past sadness, disappointment, and despair melted away tonight, leaving her world clean and pure, with only Shi Che remaining.

-

In the first three months, because Ling Chuxia’s mental state was not good, Shi Che concealed her pregnancy from Mrs. Shi. But recently, with reporters constantly buzzing around them, hints inevitably leaked out.

Mrs. Shi called immediately to inquire, and upon receiving a confirmed answer, the usually composed and elegant lady lost her composure for the first time.

Her hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably, and her voice rose slightly, "Really pregnant?"

"Yes, more than three months now."

Compared to Mrs. Shi’s shock and joy, Shi Che was calm as if discussing the weather.

"Three... more than three months!" Mrs. Shi was so happy that she stuttered.

"Yes."

On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Shi’s voice was silent, only her breathing was audible; she couldn’t speak for a moment.

After a long while, Mrs. Shi managed to recover from the overwhelming joy, her voice still slightly shaky and reproachful, "Why are you only telling me now that it’s already three months? The first three months are the most dangerous, Xiaxia had a miscarriage before, if anything were to happen..."

"Mom, don’t worry, today Chuxia and I went for a prenatal checkup, and the baby is very healthy." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Though Mrs. Shi had some reproach, she couldn’t hide her joy at Chuxia being pregnant. She had longed for this grandchild for so long. Ling Chuxia’s previous miscarriage still left a shadow over her, but luckily, she was pregnant again now.

Mrs. Shi took several deep breaths, finally suppressing the joy in her heart, her voice returning to normal, "You and Chuxia are living in the villa, and I have no objections if you want to enjoy your life as a couple. But now that Chuxia is pregnant, without anyone to take care of her there, why don’t you move back to the old house? I can take good care of her here."

Having eagerly awaited another grandchild, she must protect it well, to prevent any accidents like last time.

While Shi Che was on the phone with Mrs. Shi, Ling Chuxia stayed snuggled in his embrace, listening. When she heard Mrs. Shi’s suggestion, her eyes widened abruptly, and she shook her head vigorously at Shi Che.

Even though she had accepted this child... her identity was still uncertain, and no one knew what would happen once it was born.

She dared not go back to live in the old house, as Mrs. Shi was perceptive, and if she noticed anything amiss...

Shi Che glanced at Ling Chuxia, gently stroking her cheek as a form of comfort. Then he directly refused Mrs. Shi over the phone.

Mrs. Shi was slightly displeased but knew her son was stubborn. She could only take a step back, "Since you’re not coming back, let Sister Hua go over to take care of you."
