Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 924 - 923: Don’t Make Any More Mistakes (Part 1)

Now, if Shi Che’s men catch Ling Yunshu, she will definitely be convicted and sentenced, and will have to spend the rest of her days in prison.

He understood Ling Yunshu. She was such a proud person, someone who never admitted defeat. If she really went to prison, she wouldn’t survive.

No, he couldn’t just watch her get caught, nor could he just watch her go to prison. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Xiao Chen’s hands clenched tightly at his sides, his eyes flickered, and finally, a resolute gleam remained. Suddenly, he reached out and took off Ling Yunshu’s hat and mask, putting them on himself, and then moved to unzip her jacket.

His actions were quick and sudden. Ling Yunshu was momentarily stunned, and it wasn’t until Xiao Chen had also removed her coat that she snapped back to reality, her voice trembling as she asked, "Xiao Chen, what are you doing?"

Xiao Chen didn’t answer her. Instead, he swiftly took off her coat, and then took off his own coat, putting hers on himself and wrapping his own around Ling Yunshu.

Then, he placed his hands firmly on Ling Yunshu’s shoulders, his dark eyes fixed on her, speaking each word quickly, "Yun Shu, from this moment on, listen to me."

"After I go out, you stay here and hide for a while. I’ll lure the people outside away. Once you’re out, go straight to the airport by car. The ticket and passport are in the coat pocket. Once you get to the airport, change your flight to the soonest one going to the United States. Everything is arranged on that side, and once you’re there, stay low for a while. You’ll be safe then."

At first, Ling Yunshu didn’t understand what Xiao Chen meant. But after hearing his words, she understood everything. Xiao Chen intended to take the blame for her.

"Xiao Chen..." Ling Yunshu looked at him blankly, shaking her head in disbelief, "Why?"

She had killed someone. It wasn’t a trivial matter. Why was he willing to take the blame for her without hesitation?

Why?

The three words from Ling Yunshu made Xiao Chen’s heart ache. Throughout the years, even though he didn’t express his love daily, he had confessed to her countless times. Every time, he had told Ling Yunshu "I love you," and each time he had been so sincere. He thought that even if she didn’t accept it, she would at least have listened. It turned out she never really cared about his love.

But even so... he still regretted nothing.

He was a psychologist, someone who could help many people with their mental issues, yet he couldn’t help Ling Yunshu, nor could he help himself.

"Yun Shu, I love you."

Xiao Chen cupped Ling Yunshu’s face in his hands, his dark eyes fixed on her. His words came out naturally and seriously, as they always did. However, this might be the last time he could say those three words to her.

His hands couldn’t help but gently caress Ling Yunshu’s face. He took a deep breath and spoke again, "So Yun Shu, don’t make any more mistakes. There’s no other Xiao Chen who loves you."

Ling Yunshu just looked at him steadily, her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn’t utter a word.

Time was of the essence, and Xiao Chen couldn’t say anything more to her. As his words trailed off, he released her, picked up the knife from the ground, took out a handkerchief he carried with him to wipe the handle clean, tightened his grip, and was about to push open the stairwell door.
