Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 917 - 916: Luring the Enemy into the Trap (Part 6)

Ling Yunshu always knows how to hit Xiao Chen’s weak spots. Even though Xiao Chen knows deep down that her sudden change in demeanor has ulterior motives, he still can’t refuse her.

However, no matter what she intends to do, he won’t let her. After this week, whether she likes it or not, he’ll take her away.

Xiao Chen looked at her, sighing lightly inwardly, yet his tone softened as well, "Alright, Yun Shu, I’ll give you a week, but Yun Shu, don’t stir up trouble again, okay?"

He also said "okay," his tone was almost pleading, but to Xiao Chen, Ling Yunshu was a treasure, whereas to Ling Yunshu, Xiao Chen was nothing. So his pleas only earned a perfunctory nod from Ling Yunshu, "Hmm, I’ll listen to you."

When Ling Chuxia came out of the bathroom, she saw Shi Che standing on the balcony talking on the phone. She frowned slightly; lately, Shi Che had been making calls frequently. When she asked, he only said it was business matters, but before, even when he was busy, he wasn’t constantly receiving business calls while being with her.

During this period, shouldn’t the company have fewer issues? Why so many calls?

Ling Chuxia thought as she unconsciously lightened her steps, quietly moving towards Shi Che.

She wanted to hear what kind of "business" Shi Che was discussing.

However, just as she got close, just as she wanted to hear what Shi Che was saying, Shi Che seemed to have eyes on his back. As she approached, he slightly turned his face, his black eyes falling on her, causing Ling Chuxia’s steps to halt.

Shi Che seemed to smirk, then said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Let’s talk later."

After saying that, he directly hung up, turned around, and wrapped Ling Chuxia’s waist, planting a kiss on her cheek with his thin lips, his voice soft, "Finished showering?"

Ling Chuxia didn’t respond, instead, she narrowed her black eyes disapprovingly at him, "Was that call just now another business discussion?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Shi Che, as before, responded with a faint "Hmm," his expression completely natural.

But Ling Chuxia’s elegant brows furrowed tightly.

Just now, as soon as she approached, he hung up the phone, clearly afraid she’d overhear. If it truly was business, why fear her hearing it? So she was certain it wasn’t business. But if not business, then what?

A call wife shouldn’t hear... Could it be a woman’s call?

It’s not that Ling Chuxia was overthinking, she firmly believed in Shi Che’s love for her, but with such secretive phone calls, she couldn’t help but doubt. Pregnant women are naturally sensitive, and any thought makes them even more so.

Ling Chuxia’s eyes widened in surprise, her steps instantly halted. Originally, Shi Che was guiding her towards the bed but stopped as she did. He looked a bit surprised, "Chuxia, what’s wrong?"

Ling Chuxia abruptly turned her face, her black eyes fixed sharply on Shi Che’s face, her large eyes filled with clarity, staring intensely at him before speaking very seriously, "Shi Che, have you been seeing another woman?"

Shi Che couldn’t have anticipated Ling Chuxia would say that, leaving him momentarily stunned. Then, facing Ling Chuxia’s serious and angry yet slightly insecure gaze, he couldn’t help but feel amused yet helpless.
