Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 898 - 897: Don’t Touch Xiaxia’s Child (17)

So when President An came to the villa, it was a perfect opportunity. She brought two baskets of tangerines.

Ling Chuxia looked at the tangerines, round and chubby, very cute. The smell was comforting and even eased the nausea she felt from forcing herself to eat earlier.

Ling Chuxia couldn’t wait to try one.

But Shi Che beat her to it, picking one and putting it in his mouth. His already furrowed brow tightened even more. This taste... it was so sour it was frightening, like it could make his teeth fall out.

Seeing Shi Che’s expression, Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but burst into laughter. It was rare to see Shi Che lose his composure like this.

Watching this, she wanted to try even more, "I’ll give it a try."

Saying that, she reached out to take one, but was stopped by Shi Che. She looked at him puzzled, only to see Shi Che personally wipe the tangerine with a sanitizing wipe before handing it to her.

This simple action made Ling Chuxia’s lips curl up into a smile, her eyes forming crescent shapes.

On the side, Sister Hua watched, surprised and slightly agape. She knew that ever since the Young Master and Young Madam remarried, their relationship had been exceptionally good. She would occasionally see their affection in newspapers, but seeing it in real life was entirely different.

The Young Master was served and pampered since childhood, but now it was he who attended to the Young Madam, with attention to every detail, no matter how small. Watching this, she couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

If she had been thirty years younger, she might have wanted to compete for such a good man herself.

When Ling Chuxia put the tangerine in her mouth, Shi Che inexplicably felt a bit tense. After all, there was nothing he could do about Ling Chuxia’s lack of appetite. He could only hope these tangerines truly whetted her appetite.

Shi Che’s dark eyes fixed nervously on Ling Chuxia, making Ling Chuxia a little nervous too. She chewed slowly, as if in slow motion.

Seeing Shi Che’s reaction to eating the tangerine, she thought it was terribly sour. She didn’t like sour food herself and thought it might sour her teeth too. However, after a few chews, not only did she not find it sour, but it also felt especially refreshing, sweeping away the greasy feeling in her heart.

Ling Chuxia’s eyes lit up as she ate. As soon as she swallowed one, she immediately reached for a second one.

Seeing her movement, Shi Che’s worried heart was slightly relieved. "Chuxia, how does it feel?"

Ling Chuxia nodded while eating, "It’s pretty good."

These four words immediately put Shi Che and Sister Hua’s hearts at ease.

Watching Ling Chuxia eat one after another, Shi Che’s lips curved slightly as he pinched her cheek that was puffed up from eating. His deep voice was gentle as water, "No matter how good it is, don’t eat too much. These tangerines are very sour and could hurt your stomach."

"Okay."

Ling Chuxia obediently nodded, yet her hand unhesitatingly reached for another tangerine and popped it into her mouth.

Shi Che shook his head helplessly, but his dark eyes were full of indulgence.

The tangerines truly stimulated her appetite. After Ling Chuxia ate a few, she started to crave food. Shi Che quickly accompanied her to eat dinner, and it was rare to see her eat two full bowls of rice at once.

But she ended up overeating a bit.
