Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 894 - 893: Don’t Touch Xiaxia’s Child (13)

These days, he had already become accustomed to seeing the mess in his apartment, because Ling Yunshu’s mood was getting worse by the day, and her temper was becoming increasingly irritable.

Whenever there was news about Shi Che and Ling Chuxia in the newspapers, she would go mad and then smash everything in the apartment, leaving nothing intact.

That day, when he returned from work, he might have found it unusual if he didn’t see the mess.

Xiao Chen curled his lips slightly, but his eyes were filled with bitterness. Then he stepped over the mess and headed straight to the bedroom.

After Ling Yunshu vented her anger, she would curl up in bed and sleep, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket. He thought today would be no exception. Yet, when he walked into the room, he saw Ling Yunshu quietly leaning against the headboard, with the room’s lights on brightly enough for him to see the scars on her face at a glance.

Xiao Chen’s eyes darkened, and his heart tightened abruptly. He took a large step over, sitting at the edge of the bed, his dark pupils fixed on her face.

Up close, the injuries on her face became even clearer. Her cheeks were swollen high, with distinct finger marks, her forehead was bruised, with a large blackened area that had some blood seeping out, and her lip had bloodstains, though they had dried by now, turning slightly dark purple, looking shocking.

Xiao Chen’s jet-black pupils suddenly contracted, and his hands couldn’t stop trembling. He raised his hand, wanting to gently touch Ling Yunshu’s face but was afraid of hurting her. He moved his lips, and only after a long while did he speak, his voice unable to conceal his worry and tremor, "Yun Shu, what happened? How did you get hurt?"

These injuries didn’t seem self-inflicted because the slap marks on her face were too distinct, as if someone had hit her hard.

Thinking of this, his dark eyes grew even gloomier, "Yun Shu, who hit you?"

Ling Yunshu remained dazed, her face expressionless, and her gaze utterly vacant.

Xiao Chen’s heart ached fiercely, gazing at the two slaps on Ling Yunshu’s face. He could only imagine how much it hurt when Yun Shu was hit. Since Ling Yunshu didn’t speak, he did not continue questioning but got up, hurried into the living room to fetch the first aid kit, and quickly returned.

Sitting at the bedside, Xiao Chen was already skilled at handling such injuries, and his hands and feet were quite nimble. However, now his hands were shaking, shaking very badly. The cap of the medicine bottle took quite a while to unscrew.

Ling Yunshu used to be well-protected in the Shi Family, never having suffered an injury. Even when she went to the United States, he was always there to protect her, making it even more unlikely for her to get hurt.

This was the first time seeing her in such a sorry state, seeing her injured.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down. No matter what, he had to help Ling Yunshu treat her wounds first.

But just as he was about to apply medicine to Ling Yunshu, her eyes suddenly moved. She shifted her gaze to Xiao Chen, her voice low, "Xiao Chen, it was Xiaxia who hit me."

Xiao Chen’s hand abruptly paused.

Ling Yunshu’s eyes fixed steadily on Xiao Chen; she deliberately turned her face slightly, making her injured face even more visible to Xiao Chen.

Then she repeated, "It was Ling Chuxia who hit me."

Xiao Chen’s hand froze completely in mid-air.
