Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 909 - 908: Don’t Touch Xiaxia’s Child (28)
However, Xiao Chen didn’t dare relax even a little. He held Ling Yunshu’s waist tightly to prevent her from suddenly going crazy, breaking free, and doing something rash.
He gripped her firmly, striding toward the main gate of the old mansion with her in tow.
Ling Yunshu was dragged along by Xiao Chen, forced to move with him, yet she couldn’t help but glance back toward the banquet hall, unable to resist searching for Shi Che and Ling Chuxia inside. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
They were in the center of the dance floor, dancing elegantly and joyfully. Even separated by so many people and such a distance, she seemed to clearly see the smiles on Shi Che and Ling Chuxia’s faces, radiating happiness.
They seemed like a perfect couple made in heaven, basking in the envious gazes of the crowd, while she was like a rat being dragged out, leaving this place in disgrace.
This old mansion of the Shi Family was originally her home. She was supposed to be its future mistress.
Her gaze involuntarily shifted to Mrs. Shi. She was watching Shi Che and Ling Chuxia with a satisfied smile. She had never been pleased with Ling Chuxia, but now she’s content just because Ling Chuxia is carrying a bastard child!
Ha, how utterly ridiculous!
An unwillingness and hatred resurfaced in her eyes. Ling Yunshu glared at Mrs. Shi, with only one thought left in her mind: she wanted to tell Mrs. Shi everything, to let her know Ling Chuxia’s true colors.
From somewhere, she summoned a burst of strength and began to struggle fiercely. Although Xiao Chen held her tightly, he was unprepared for such a frenzied struggle, and she managed to break free for a moment.
Xiao Chen was startled, watching Ling Yunshu dash quickly toward Mrs. Shi. He immediately understood what she intended to do and couldn’t let her get away with it. Fortunately, with his long limbs, he caught up in a few strides, clamped one hand over her mouth, and encircled her waist with another, dragging her back to him tightly.
Though the commotion wasn’t large, it still drew some curious glances. Xiao Chen could only force an awkward smile, "She’s drunk."
Everyone recognized that the person in Xiao Chen’s arms was Ling Yunshu. The recent discord between Ling Yunshu and her sister Ling Chuxia was widely known. Today’s situation, where a drunk Ling Yunshu seemed to want to cause a scene, seemed natural enough, though it appeared somewhat overconfident. Thus, people only responded with slight smirks, not taking it seriously.
Xiao Chen dared not delay any further, almost directly carrying Ling Yunshu out through the main gate.

The incident had caught the attention of few at the banquet. Initially, Shi Che didn’t notice it either. It was while twirling with Ling Chuxia during the dance that he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of Xiao Chen, half-dragging, half-supporting Ling Yunshu out the door. Even though Xiao Chen moved quickly, Shi Che immediately recognized them, his eyes slightly narrowing with a flash of light, and his brows furrowed.
Raising her eyes, Ling Chuxia noticed his expression and couldn’t help but ask, "Shi Che, what’s the matter?"
Shi Che slightly turned his gaze back to meet Ling Chuxia’s eyes. Narrowing his black eyes, he spoke in a low voice, "Chuxia, how is Xiao Chen’s relationship with Ling Yunshu?"
Though Xiao Chen was his cousin, Shi Che had always been emotionally distant, with Shen Qian being his only close friend. Hence, his relationships with others, including Xiao Chen, remained superficial, so he naturally wasn’t clear about his affairs.
