Chapter 197: Chapter 196: You Don’t Deserve to Have My Child (2)

So, from beginning to end, she had never given up on Mrs. Shi’s duties, from beginning to end, she was still scheming against him.

-

Today, Ling Chuxia felt quite uneasy, from the moment she got up, she accidentally kicked the nightstand, causing her to grimace in pain. While washing up, she carelessly squeezed facial cleanser instead of toothpaste, and finally, when she went downstairs to drink water, she choked so badly that it took her a while to recover from the coughing.

Ling Chuxia had a faint sense of unease but couldn’t pinpoint what went wrong, so she just reassured herself that she was being overly sensitive.

In the evening, Ling Chuxia helped Sister Hua prepare dinner, but Sister Hua kept rushing Chuxia, telling her that Shi Che would be returning around this time and that she should get ready to greet him. It was only then that Chuxia glanced up at the wall clock and noticed it was already past six o’clock.

These days, Che usually came home before six unless he had some work or social engagements, but he would always call ahead to let her know. However, today, Che hadn’t come home nor had he called. Could he have been delayed on the road?

Chuxia thought for a moment and decided to call Che to ask. Now, calling him no longer made her hesitate or fear as before; she could calmly make the call.

However, just as she was about to take out her phone, she heard the sound of a car driving in at the entrance. She paused, turned around, and sure enough, Old Zhu had returned with the car.

Ling Chuxia smiled, put away her phone, and subconsciously straightened her clothes, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear before putting on a smile and stepping out to greet him.

Shi Che got out of the car with an indifferent face, thin lips slightly pressed, his deep-set eyes dark and brooding, and for some reason, there was a layer of inexplicable wrath surrounding him that involuntarily made one’s heart tremble.

Chuxia’s steps faltered slightly; lately, she hadn’t seen Che with such a gloomy expression, and now, seeing him like this suddenly made her a bit uncomfortable. But she merely paused before continuing forward, keeping up her plastered smile and gently saying, "You’re back?"

Che completely ignored her, not even sparing her a glance from the corner of his eye, walking straight past her with a darkened face, completely indifferent to Ling Chuxia, whose smile instantly stiffened.

It was only after Che had walked inside that she stood there still, not quite recovered, when Old Zhu stepped forward and quietly reminded her, "Young Madam, the young master seems to be in a very bad mood today, please be careful."

Ling Chuxia snapped back to reality and smiled gratefully at Old Zhu, then turned and followed Che up the stairs, back to the bedroom.

As Chuxia entered the bedroom, Che was sitting on the bed. Since he had his back somewhat to her, she couldn’t see what he was doing. However, she instinctively quietened her footsteps, approaching carefully one step at a time.

When she got close, she saw Che sitting there, the drawer of the nightstand open, and in his hands, he held the box of Contraceptive Pills. His dark eyes silently stared at the box, his face expressionless, yet in Ling Chuxia’s heart, it stirred up violent emotional turmoil.

She didn’t know why Che would have taken the Contraceptive Pills out for no reason, but she knew she couldn’t panic, she couldn’t show fear, she mustn’t show the slightest bit of wrongness.
