Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 903 - 902: Don’t Touch Xiaxia’s Child (22)
Not going?
These days she had been waiting and hoping every day, just for today to come. And now she’s being told not to go? Is this a joke!
But she knew she couldn’t reject him too directly; otherwise, if Xiao Chen discovered her intentions, it would be bad if it ruined her plans.
Ling Yunshu turned around slowly, her cold gaze showing some grievances, "What are you afraid of? You’re not willing to help me. What do you think I can do on my own?"
Xiao Chen stared steadily at her, his dark eyes meeting hers, with a hint of probing in them. Perhaps because of her guilty conscience, Ling Yunshu unconsciously lowered her eyelids, blocking his gaze.
She thought for a moment, then added, "Madam has always been kind to me. Today, I simply want to congratulate her on her birthday."
Xiao Chen was well aware of how many tricks Ling Yunshu had up her sleeve. Without his help, there were indeed many things she couldn’t accomplish on her own. But he was also very clear about Ling Yunshu’s nature.
She was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
Was her insistence on attending the birthday banquet today really just a simple congratulation as she claimed, or did she have other motives?
Xiao Chen couldn’t figure it out, but there was one thing he had to remind Ling Yunshu, "Yun Shu, don’t touch Xiaxia’s child."
Ha, she knew he couldn’t say anything good, every word and sentence was about protecting Ling Chuxia.
The more he acted like this, the deeper her resentment towards Ling Chuxia became, and the more she wished to see her fall into a hopeless situation.
Ling Yunshu felt extremely uncomfortable inside, but could only wear a wry, cold smile on her face, "At this point, how could I even touch her child?"
After saying that, Ling Yunshu didn’t wait for Xiao Chen to speak again and turned to leave directly.
Xiao Chen sat on the sofa, watching her leave with a steady gaze for a long time, feeling a touch of unease for some unknown reason.
Ling Yunshu really couldn’t afford to make another mistake; if she did, she wouldn’t be so lucky again. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Xiao Chen’s expression was complicated. His hands clenched into fists, ultimately not feeling at ease. He suddenly stood up and walked quickly back to the bedroom to change clothes.

Although Mrs. Shi had been inactive for more than half a year due to illness, everyone showed their respect and arrived early for the banquet she hosted this time.
As the hosts, Shi Che and Ling Chuxia were supposed to accompany Mrs. Shi to entertain the guests. However, since Ling Chuxia was pregnant, Mrs. Shi asked Shi Che to take Ling Chuxia to rest after accompanying for a while.
Ling Chuxia felt she wasn’t that delicate, and it seemed unnecessary for Shi Che to accompany her just for resting. After Shi Che escorted her back to the room, she pushed Shi Che to accompany Mrs. Shi to entertain the guests. She was waiting for Ji Xinxin to arrive so that Ji could keep her company.
Although Shi Che was worried about her, this was the Shi family’s old house, and basically, nothing would happen. Moreover, even though Mrs. Shi’s health had improved, it would still be hard for her to entertain so many guests alone. After weighing the options, Shi Che nodded, but before leaving, he reminded, "Call me immediately if there’s anything."
Ling Chuxia obediently nodded. Shi Che leaned down to kiss her lips before getting up to leave.

Ling Yunshu had arrived for a while, but since Shi Che and Ling Chuxia were standing beside Mrs. Shi just now, she didn’t dare to go up directly and make a fool of herself, so she just stood far away in the corner, holding a glass of wine.
When Shi Che supported Ling Chuxia back to the room, she knew very well that following them would only upset her, yet her feet refused to listen to her own will.
