Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 891 - 890: Don’t Touch Xiaxia’s Child (10)

Ling Chuxia furrowed her delicate brows and shook her head slowly, "I don’t want to eat anything."

Shi Che looked at her crumpled little face, feeling both heartache and helplessness, "Then let’s go home."

He gently touched Ling Chuxia’s little face, then prepared to call someone to pay the bill. Suddenly, a respectful voice sounded from beside him, "President Shi."

Shi Che glanced indifferently at the person who had come, his handsome face instantaneously regaining its usual coldness and aloofness. It was as if he hadn’t heard that person’s words, and he raised his hand slightly.

The waiter saw this and immediately walked over.

Shi Che took out a card from his wallet, handed it to him, and the waiter respectfully received it and turned to settle the bill.

The visitor became somewhat embarrassed, but after a brief pause, she spoke again, "President Shi, what a coincidence to meet you here. I’ve tried to arrange a meeting several times, but the timing was never right."

This sentence made Ling Chuxia look up at her. She was a woman of about thirty-six or thirty-seven, dressed appropriately and visibly wearing designer brands, but the corners of her handbag were already somewhat worn, and she looked very weary.

Ling Chuxia had some skill in reading people’s expressions and could see that this woman was probably once a wealthy lady. However, now there was either a problem at home or with the family business, resulting in her current plight.

It seemed she was now seeking Shi Che’s help.

Ling Chuxia had never involved herself in Shi Che’s business matters, so she merely glanced briefly and then withdrew her gaze.

The woman spoke several sentences, but Shi Che did not respond, making her secretly anxious. Her company was being maliciously acquired and was on the brink of bankruptcy, desperately needing a strong financial injection and a powerful backing. Hence, she had no choice but to seek Shi Che’s help.

Unfortunately, she had tried every possible way, yet couldn’t make this President Shi show even a shred of interest in her proposal. If this continued, her company would surely be doomed.

The woman looked at Shi Che’s indifferent face and slowly moved her gaze to Ling Chuxia’s charming face.

She recognized Ling Chuxia. In fact, these days, there was no one in Liang City who didn’t know Ling Chuxia.

Shi Che’s cherished wife, his most precious treasure. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Being a woman herself, she naturally understood how influential women could be. Since she couldn’t please Shi Che, she thought she might as well try to please Ling Chuxia. If Ling Chuxia were happy, her issue would naturally be easier to resolve.

But upon this initial meeting, how should she proceed?

Instinctively, the woman’s eyes swept over Ling Chuxia, catching sight of her slightly protruding belly. She suddenly remembered the newspaper reports about Shi Che’s wife being possibly pregnant, and it seemed it was true.

She unconsciously glanced at the food on her plate— a large piece of steak, but she had only taken a few bites, coupled with overhearing their conversation earlier. Her eyes suddenly brightened, and she spoke up, "When I was pregnant with my son, I also had no appetite for anything and would vomit after forcing food down. Later, it was the local specialty from my hometown that cured it."

It was such an insignificant matter, yet Shi Che slightly lifted his eyelids and finally looked at her.

The woman, as if greatly encouraged, continued, "Our hometown’s specialty is Golden Small Oranges, which are sweet and sour. Pregnant women find them especially appetizing, and once eaten, they immediately regain their appetite for food. They also have a high vitamin content, which is especially good for pregnant women. Women from our area who eat them give birth to particularly healthy children."
