Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce
Chapter 189 - 188: Investigate This Medicine (8)

She approached in just a few steps, her slender arms about to reach out, her whole person ready to embrace Shi Che; however, in the final second, she finally sensed Shi Che’s beautifully gloomy expression, his darkened eyes, and the chill emanating from his body that unconsciously made people want to retreat.

After Shi Che’s fury the last time, Zheng Rourou had learned not to be too presumptuous. In the last second, she still didn’t dare to embrace him directly but instead stood pitifully by his side, her big eyes tearfully gazing at Shi Che, lips slightly pouted, on the verge of crying, "President Shi, are you still angry with me? I really know I was wrong~"

Shi Che ignored Zheng Rourou, his dark gaze shifting to Ling Chuxia. Meanwhile, she was looking down, holding her chopsticks, silently eating her food, as if she hadn’t seen anything.

The light in Shi Che’s eyes dimmed in an instant, and the gloom on his face deepened.

But Zheng Rourou, intent on seizing the opportunity to express her feelings, kept speaking with sincere emotion even though Shi Che didn’t respond, "President Shi, I have really been reflecting seriously during this time, won’t you please stop being angry?"

As she spoke, Zheng Rourou couldn’t help but extend her hand, lightly tugging at Shi Che’s arm, with a coquettish implication.

Ling Chuxia appeared to be eating quietly, but in reality, her heart was extremely shocked. She always knew that Zheng Rourou had a special relationship with Shi Che, having witnessed it herself once, but... she had never seen how they interacted privately...

Ling Chuxia couldn’t imagine, given the way she and Shi Che interacted, what it would be like for a beautiful and coquettish woman like Zheng Rourou to be with Shi Che.

She hadn’t expected the beautiful woman to be so frail, and... even to cling to Shi Che’s hand and act spoiled...

That was something Ling Chuxia didn’t even dare think about. Could it be that Shi Che liked this sort of thing? Ling Chuxia originally didn’t want to look, but couldn’t help herself, her gaze surreptitiously flicking over.

Shi Che’s dark eyes kept staring intently at Ling Chuxia, hoping she might show even the slightest reaction, which would be better than this indifference. But from the moment Zheng Rourou appeared, Ling Chuxia hadn’t lifted her head at all.

Shi Che took a deep breath, feeling an irritability surging up, suffocating him so much that he couldn’t breathe, and Zheng Rourou was still prattling on at his side. Shi Che’s hand snapped the chopsticks onto the table, his lips parting slightly, but his voice was deep and harsh, "Get lost!"

This sudden outburst caught both Zheng Rourou and Ling Chuxia by surprise, shaking their hearts violently, especially Zheng Rourou, whose eyes widened with disbelief.

Shi Che had always been good to her, spoiling her in every way except for that one time he lost his temper, which was why she dared to act so freely. But it had been such a long time since that incident, and he had even given her the advertisement he had promised her afterward. She had thought that he was not angry anymore... How could he...

Zheng Rourou stumbled a step backward and inadvertently turned her face, finally noticing Ling Chuxia sitting opposite Shi Che. She seemed to understand something, and her eyes suddenly reddened.
