Chapter 208: Chapter 207: Running Away from Home (3)

Shi Che and she were different. Shi Che was the legitimate eldest young master of the Shi Family and naturally had no shortage of money. So, whenever she craved something, she would eagerly look at Shi Che with a face that begged for a sugar daddy.

However, Shi Che shared the same attitude as Mrs. Shi, believing that all those outside snacks were unhygienic and should not be eaten. Moreover, Ling Chuxia’s stomach was not very strong, and every time she ate those outside snacks, she would end up with a stomach ache when she got home.

But back then, she was especially shameless and annoying. If Shi Che did not give her money, she would cling to Shi Che’s arm, act coquettishly, and say she’d only eat a little bit, pleading him to buy just a little. When faced with Shi Che’s refusal, her expression would change instantly, and she would huff and puff and then say to Shi Che, "Shi Che, I’m telling you, you must give me money!"

Shi Che coolly glanced at her and asked, "Why?"

Ling Chuxia held her little head high, righteously declaring, "Because I might marry you in the future, and then I’d be your wife. Isn’t it only natural and proper that you spend money on your wife?"

Shi Che was amused by her words and argued back, "But you are not my wife yet."

Ling Chuxia felt no shyness and continued unabashedly, "You can start treating me as your wife now, and then you can start spending money on me now!"

Shi Che’s dark eyes twinkled as he looked at her lovely little face, a trace of a smile unwittingly crossing his lips, "If I treated you as my wife ahead of time and had to spend money on you, what benefit would I get?"

Ling Chuxia pouted, "What kind of benefit do you want?"

Shi Che’s dark eyes fixed on her dissatisfied little face, seemingly casual yet serious in his proposal, "Alright, you call me ’hubby,’ and I’ll give you money. That would only be fair."

Ling Chuxia’s beautiful eyes widened in anger, "Shi Che, you actually want to take advantage of me?"

Shi Che lazily replied, "Aren’t you taking advantage of me too?"

Ling Chuxia was left speechless by his retort. Shi Che paused, his thin lips slightly parting, and somehow, his words carried a tempting tone, "Actually, it’s a good deal for you. Just call me once, and I’ll spend money on you, and you can buy lots and lots of delicious snacks, right?"

Ling Chuxia puffed her chubby cheeks, her dark eyes rolling around as she weighed whether the deal was worthwhile. Shi Che stood by leisurely waiting, yet deep within his eyes, there was a barely hidden anticipation he couldn’t conceal.

In the end, Ling Chuxia could not resist the temptation of milk tea and snacks. She sweetly called Shi Che ’hubby,’ and Shi Che, delighted, handed over his entire wallet to her.

Ling Chuxia enjoyed herself immensely and even forcibly fed Shi Che some fish balls. The outcome was tragic for both, as they ended up with diarrhea when they returned home, infuriating Mrs. Shi to the point where she, disregarding everything, chased Ling Chuxia around the house with a stick. Shi Che endured all the beatings to protect her.

That evening, she sneaked into Shi Che’s room and saw the overlapping bruises on his back, crying for a long time from distress, yet he comforted her, saying it didn’t hurt, Chuxia, don’t cry.

Chuxia, don’t cry.

That year, those simple four words were etched in her heart forever. She knew that Shi Che didn’t like to see her cry, so she smiled happily every day, even when he started treating her poorly, she tried her best to smile.
