Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 927 - 926: Stop Making Mistakes (4)

Shi Che’s eyes turned completely dark, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "You head to the airport immediately."

"Yes."

The call ended, and Shi Che tightened his grip on the phone. His handsome face gradually grew clouded. Xiao Chen was an unexpected turn of events that he hadn’t anticipated.

-

When Shi Che returned in the evening, it was already quite late. Usually, by this time, Ling Chuxia would have fallen asleep long ago, unable to stay awake. But today, her mind was preoccupied with the matter at the hospital, and she couldn’t sleep. She leaned on the bedhead, struggling against her drowsiness as she waited for Shi Che.

When Shi Che walked into the bedroom, Ling Chuxia immediately sat up straight. However, her voice carried a trace of fatigue as she spoke, "Shi Che, you’re back."

Shi Che softly acknowledged with a "hmm," walked over, sat by the bed, gently stroked her cheek, and said in a soft voice, "Why haven’t you slept yet?"

"How could I possibly sleep?" Ling Chuxia murmured softly, opened her eyes, and her gaze fell on Shi Che’s face. She asked, "By the way, how did things go?"

Shi Che furrowed his brows slightly, a flash of coldness swiftly passing through his eyes, but it vanished in an instant. When he looked at Ling Chuxia, his gaze regained a gentle warmth. He didn’t answer her question immediately, only said, "I’ll take a shower first, then I’ll tell you."

Seeing Shi Che still wearing that bloodstained shirt, Ling Chuxia refrained from pressing further. She nodded, saying, "Then I’ll run the bath for you."

As she was about to get up, Shi Che stopped her, "I’ll do it myself."

After his shower, Shi Che came out to see Ling Chuxia sitting on the bed, a look of eager anticipation on her face, her eyes wide open and sparkling. Her demeanor managed to dissipate much of Shi Che’s original gloom.

As Shi Che walked over, Ling Chuxia shifted to the other side of the bed to make room. Shi Che sat down, pulled her into his arms, and Ling Chuxia couldn’t wait any longer and asked again, "Can you tell me now, what exactly happened?"

Looking at her, Shi Che’s lips curved slightly, then his expression turned serious as he contemplated how to explain.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Chuxia, today’s events were orchestrated by me."

This statement from Shi Che took Ling Chuxia by surprise. She froze for a moment, staring at Shi Che with her dark eyes, "What do you mean by that?"

Shi Che’s black eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke calmly, "I’ve been investigating the events of that night for a while now. I felt that things were not as simple as they seemed, but I hadn’t found a breakthrough. It wasn’t until you told me about the close relationship between Xiao Chen and Ling Yunshu that I found a lead. Once I investigated, everything became clear."

Although Shi Che didn’t specify which night he was referring to, Ling Chuxia understood immediately. Her expression changed slightly, and she was even more shocked to realize that the incident wasn’t an accident but rather...

"Shi Che, are you saying that it was Brother Xiao and Ling Yunshu who orchestrated that night?"

"Yes."

That simple affirmation made Ling Chuxia’s body tremble violently. She widened her eyes in disbelief.

Her innocence wasn’t tarnished by her own carelessness, inadvertently sleeping with another man, but was a result of a deliberate scheme by Brother Xiao and Ling Yunshu? She had thought that after what happened with her child, Ling Yunshu, even if unapologetic, wouldn’t have the face to harass her again, but she never expected her to be so malicious.
