Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 882 - 881: Don’t Touch Xiaxia’s Child (Part 1)

Shi Che knitted his brows slightly, about to refuse again, but was stopped by Ling Chuxia, who shook her head at him silently.

After all, she had spent so many years with Mrs. Shi and understood her personality all too well—very strong-willed and domineering, not allowing anyone to say no. Now, she was willing to compromise considering her pregnancy; if they refused again, she would surely be displeased.

Of course, she wouldn’t be displeased with her own son; if she were displeased, it would be with her.

Ling Chuxia hadn’t exactly made a good impression with Mrs. Shi to begin with and couldn’t afford to lose any more points. Besides, she quite liked Sister Hua, and as her pregnancy progressed, she certainly couldn’t keep going to the company with Shi Che.

Shi Che glanced at Ling Chuxia again, furrowed his brow, but ultimately agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Che lowered his head slightly and kissed Ling Chuxia’s lips, his deep voice carrying a hint of a sigh, "Chuxia, you don’t have to be so understanding."

Actually, Ling Chuxia also wanted to be willful. Although Sister Hua was good to her, Sister Hua was ultimately Mrs. Shi’s person. But Mrs. Shi... was Shi Che’s mother.

Since she chose Shi Che, she would face any difficulties head-on and never retreat.

Ling Chuxia thought, smiling with crescent-shaped eyes, and seeing her expression, Shi Che couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Mrs. Shi’s sixtieth birthday was in half a month.

Since her surgery, Mrs. Shi had been quietly recuperating at home, except for appearing during Shi Che and Ling Chuxia’s wedding. So, she originally didn’t plan to make a big fuss over her birthday; a quiet family dinner would suffice. But with Ling Chuxia pregnant, she was overly joyous; they say joyous events lift the spirits, so she got energized and decided to hold a nice banquet for her sixtieth birthday, inviting all her friends and family.

One to celebrate her birthday, and secondly, of course, to celebrate Ling Chuxia carrying the Shi Family’s successor.

The Shi Family hadn’t held a banquet for quite some time, so this one was planned to be a grand affair, with invitations sent to nearly all the notable wealthy families and socialites.

It was destined to be an unprecedented grand banquet.

As the daughter-in-law of the Shi Family, Ling Chuxia naturally had to dress up properly, without any trace of rudeness or embarrassment, so she needed to buy a suitable and beautiful gown. Shi Che originally wanted to accompany her, but he had a sudden meeting at the company that he couldn’t miss, so Ling Chuxia simply decided not to have him accompany her. After thinking about it, she directly called Ji Xinxin.

When it came to picking out a gown, Shi Che was certainly no match for Ji Xinxin. So Ling Chuxia decisively abandoned Shi Che. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

When Ling Chuxia called, Ji Xinxin was being pestered incessantly by Shen Qian. Her call was like a lifesaver, and Ji Xinxin eagerly agreed, waving her phone at Shen Qian, "Can I leave now?"

Shen Qian gritted his teeth, but helplessly stared at her, finally saying only, "Be back by morning."

Ji Xinxin couldn’t be bothered with him, grabbed her bag, and elegantly strutted out in her high heels.

Ji Xinxin brought Ling Chuxia to her most frequented store, also Ling Chuxia’s second visit there. She vividly remembered the first time she came, she accidentally caught Shi Che ordering a gown for another woman.

Back then, she remained calm and even quite gentle and gracious. Thinking about it now... she herself found it unbelievable.
