Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce
Chapter 147 - 146: Final Deadline (8)

Chapter 147: Chapter 146: Final Deadline (8)

Ling Chuxia never expected Mrs. Shi to suddenly ask such a question. She was completely stunned and couldn’t react at all.

Mrs. Shi looked at Ling Chuxia’s demeanor, her brows deeply furrowed, growing more dissatisfied, "Or should I ask, has Che’er ever touched you?"

Originally, Shi Che’s chosen marriage partner was Ling Yunshu. It was she who had pointed Ling Chuxia out to Shi Che. At that time, she thought since the two sisters looked alike and had both grown up with Shi Che, who was full of youthful vigor, even if he didn’t like her now, he would come to like her after marriage. But she never expected that some things simply can’t be forced. Shi Che didn’t like Ling Chuxia; he just didn’t.

Mrs. Shi’s directness made Ling Chuxia’s cheeks turn red in an instant, but this redness wasn’t from shyness but from fear.

With Mrs. Shi asking her such a question, it was clear she wanted to confirm that Shi Che truly didn’t like her. Then, there would be no need for any hesitation; she could simply replace her.

Ling Chuxia only felt a chill running down her spine, her back breaking out in cold sweat. She knew she couldn’t lie, couldn’t deceive Mrs. Shi. But how could she tell the truth?

Ling Chuxia’s hands were tightly clenched, her fingernails digging into her palms causing pain, yet she was oblivious to it. She swallowed hard, trying to control the trembling in her heart, as she replied, "Madam, our... our conjugal life is... normal..."

"Normal? If it’s normal, how come you can’t get pregnant?"

Mrs. Shi had completely lost her composure, her face expressionless, her voice cold to the extreme. She stared at Ling Chuxia as though she had given up on her, coldly about to announce the result, "Xiaoxia, although you’ve indeed been dutiful for these three years, earnestly trying to be a good wife for Che’er, a good Young Madam for the Shi Family but..."

As Ling Chuxia listened to Mrs. Shi, the color drained from her face, turning deathly pale. Mrs. Shi hadn’t finished speaking, but she already knew what was coming next—once her words were out, there would be no turning back.

No, it can’t be. She absolutely can’t divorce Shi Che, can’t lose the status of Young Madam. She had promised her elder sister; she couldn’t break her word, couldn’t let her elder sister down.

Ling Chuxia had never mentioned the issues between her and Shi Che to Mrs. Shi, partly because she didn’t want Mrs. Shi to know Shi Che disliked her, and partly to protect the little self-esteem she had left.

It was bad enough that Shi Che detested her, but every time they were intimate, he either wore a condom or made her take contraception pills. How embarrassing it was.

But now, she couldn’t care less about that. She bit down hard on her teeth and finally lifted her head, her voice involuntarily trembling yet she still enunciated every single word, "Madam, the young master... he has me take pills every time. It’s not that I can’t get pregnant, I simply have no way to."
