Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 897 - 896: Don’t Touch Xiaxia’s Child (16)

In recent days, although Ling Yunshu was staying in his apartment, they had always slept in separate rooms. Xiao Chen had always respected Ling Yunshu, knowing that her heart didn’t belong to him, and he... wouldn’t force her a second time.

So when Ling Yunshu said those words, Xiao Chen was deeply shaken, staring at Ling Yunshu with eyes full of disbelief and shock.

Yet, Ling Yunshu seemed oblivious, just slightly moving her body to the other side of the bed, signaling for Xiao Chen to come up and sleep.

Xiao Chen looked at her fixedly, unsure if he simply hadn’t reacted yet or for some other reason, he didn’t move.

Ling Yunshu straightforwardly reached out and pulled Xiao Chen onto the bed, and then she nestled into his arms, her cheek resting against his chest.

Unconsciously, Xiao Chen lowered his gaze, staring at the woman in his embrace who wholeheartedly relied on him, his mind unavoidably drifting.

As a discarded piece by the Shi Family, her ending wasn’t bound to be good. Rather than saying she was sent by the Shi Family for further studies in the United States, it would be more accurate to describe it as exile.

Upon hearing that Ling Yunshu had been sent to the United States, he defied his family’s objections the very next day, insisting on going to the United States for his studies.

In the United States, it took him a full three months to find Ling Yunshu.

At that time, Ling Yunshu was working in a bar. Because of her beauty and her Asian features, foreign customers constantly harassed her, even doing more egregious things. It was in such a situation that he met her and rescued her.

He had never been one to advocate violence, but in that moment, he nearly beat the black man pressuring her to within an inch of his life.

Back then, just like now, Ling Yunshu leaned into his arms, wholly dependent on him, trusting him with her entire being.

It has really been a long time...

Could his Yun Shu really come back?

Xiao Chen’s hand slowly wrapped around Ling Yunshu’s waist, his head lowered, about to plant a kiss on the top of her head, but Ling Yunshu spoke at that moment.

She said, "Xiao Chen, Xiaxia is pregnant, over three months now."

Xiao Chen’s movements froze abruptly. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

And Ling Yunshu, in his arms, lifted her hand, her dark eyes carrying a malice she couldn’t conceal, "So tell me, could Xiaxia’s child be a bastard?"

People are always like this. For things they long for, they unconsciously hold onto hope, even knowing clearly it’s a distant dream, they still let themselves believe, again and again, that there’s still hope.

A second ago, he truly believed his Yun Shu had returned, that the soft and beautiful Yun Shu in America had reappeared, yet in the next second, with only two sentences, she had thoroughly thrown him back into hell.

Xiao Chen desperately wanted to laugh, but his lips wouldn’t curl up. His heart, just barely warmed, turned cold as ice once more...

The efficiency of President An was incredibly fast. The day after dinner, she arrived with her hometown specialty "Imperial Gold Tangerines."

She arrived just at noon, during lunchtime, and Ling Chuxia was painfully forcing herself to eat. Shi Che watched by her side, his brow tightly furrowed, his expression extremely unpleasant.

Ling Chuxia had originally gained some weight, but because she had no appetite, she had recently started to lose weight again, and at night, holding her, his heart ached intensely.
