Chapter 145: Chapter 144: Final Deadline (6)

Ling Chuxia subconsciously clenched the report in her hand, her complexion turning somewhat pale, so much so that when she got out of the car and stood in front of the butler, the butler asked with puzzled concern, "Young Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Ling Chuxia’s grip tightened even more as she made an effort to lift her lips in a slight smile and said to the butler in a gentle and soft voice, "I’m fine."

Although the butler remained puzzled, he did not say anything further, his demeanor respectful and his tone serious, "Young Madam, Madam has been waiting for you since early this morning, please go in quickly."

Ling Chuxia nodded calmly, but a trace of unease still flickered in the depths of her eyes.

If Mrs. Shi were to find out that she had failed to conceive once again, perhaps a mere warning would no longer suffice to let her off easily...

Following the butler into the house, Ling Chuxia walked slowly towards the living room. Mrs. Shi sat on the sofa as usual, her hair neatly done up, her face delicate, her posture elegant, her smile warm and calm. Even upon seeing Ling Chuxia, she greeted her very genially, saying, "You’re back? Please, have a seat."

However, upon seeing Mrs. Shi’s demeanor, Ling Chuxia’s heart skipped a beat. After all these years, she had come to understand Mrs. Shi a bit.

Mrs. Shi was originally a dignified and elegant lady, who even in anger or outrage, could speak with a graceful smile, never raising her voice. But things were different with Ling Chuxia. After all, Ling Chuxia was brought up by her hand and was part of the family. Moreover, since Chuxia had once angered her so badly that she lost her composure, from then on, Mrs. Shi had been somewhat less dignified and elegant in front of her.

But now, this courteous distance was proof that she had started to disassociate herself from seeing Ling Chuxia as family.

Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but stall in her steps, her breathing slowing for a moment. Still, she quickly recovered and respectfully called out "Madam" before sitting down on the sofa opposite Mrs. Shi.

Mrs. Shi leisurely picked up her tea, took a sip with elegance, swallowed slowly and then lifted her eyes to glance at Ling Chuxia, speaking softly, "Xiaoxia, how is your health?"

Ling Chuxia’s expression tightened slightly as she replied cautiously and quietly, "Madam, my health is fine."

Mrs. Shi nodded and then slowly added, "Are all of your health indicators normal?"

"Normal, no problems."

Mrs. Shi seemed to laugh lightly, or perhaps not, her voice still unhurried as she asked, "Then, are you pregnant?"

Ling Chuxia, clutching the report, unconsciously squeezed it harder in her hands. The report wrinkled bit by bit in her grasp. She couldn’t help but lower her eyes, not daring to meet Mrs. Shi’s gaze, her voice weak as a mosquito’s, "No... not pregnant."

Mrs. Shi seemed not surprised by the result at all, or perhaps she was too disappointed by now to show any great anger. She simply scoffed coldly, her words brimming with sarcasm, "Healthy body, no problems, so why can’t you get pregnant?"
