Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 919 - 918: Ensnaring the Tiger (Part 8)

Ling Chuxia stuck out her tongue a bit bashfully. Her dark eyes darted around, and she whispered, "You can’t blame me. You make business calls so frequently and secretively. Plus, I’m pregnant, so it just feels like you’re seeing someone else~~"

Shi Che was momentarily puzzled by Ling Chuxia’s remark, "I make calls, you’re pregnant, and how is that related to seeing someone else?"

"Of course there’s a connection!"

Ling Chuxia nodded affirmatively, looking at him and responding with perfect pronunciation, "In those dramas and novels, isn’t it often written that when the female lead is pregnant, the male lead is most likely to go out and find another woman? Because his wife is pregnant and can’t satisfy his physical needs!"

Originally, Ling Chuxia rarely watched TV dramas or read novels, but ever since she got pregnant and was idle all day, either eating or sleeping, she began watching them to kill time. When people are bored, it’s easy to get engrossed, and coupled with a pregnant woman’s tendency to be sensitive, she viewed Shi Che’s actions as if he were seeing someone else!

"......."

Shi Che rubbed his forehead, somewhat exasperated, "Do you really believe in dramas and novels?"

Ling Chuxia tilted her small head, "Of course I do! You don’t know, art comes from life, and sometimes things that happen in real life are even more dramatic than what’s in dramas and novels!"

"......."

So, these days she hadn’t been pestering him to read to her at night. Instead, she’s been reading by herself. He was busy with Ling Yunshu’s matters and hadn’t noticed what she was reading. Turns out, she was reading novels.

Shi Che was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "But it turns out, I didn’t see anyone else."

Ling Chuxia had planned to change the subject by rambling, but Shi Che’s words brought it back, making her little face scrunch up immediately. She put on a smiling face, "I...I know I wronged you. I’ve already admitted my mistake." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Shi Che didn’t say anything, just glanced at her with a somewhat amused look.

Ling Chuxia cleared her throat and added immediately, "It’s all those dramas and novels misleading me. I promise I’ll return the novel I ordered on Taobao yesterday to show my apology!"

"Your apology is indeed sincere...," Shi Che casually replied, tone still lukewarm.

Ling Chuxia pretended not to hear the teasing in his words, "I’ll go return it right away!"

No sooner had she spoken, she eagerly took a step to leave. But just one step out, Shi Che wrapped his arm around her waist, and in the next second, she was pulled into his embrace.

Shi Che lowered his eyes, his dark gaze landing on her face. He lifted a hand to pinch her chin, smiling, "Actually, not everything in those novels is untrue."

"Huh?"

The topic shifted too quickly, leaving Ling Chuxia unable to react.

Shi Che smiled and continued, "For instance, when the wife is pregnant and can’t satisfy the husband’s physical needs, that’s very true."

Ling Chuxia blinked her big eyes, gazing into Shi Che’s suddenly deepening eyes, her voice becoming a bit timid, "So...?"

"So, as your punishment for suspecting me, tonight, you better satisfy your husband’s physical needs," Shi Che said, and then effortlessly scooped Ling Chuxia up in his arms.
