Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce
Chapter 316 - 315: The Decision (9)

Chapter 316: Chapter 315: The Decision (9)

At that moment, her heart was in chaos; she couldn’t make sense of anything, let alone answer questions about her divorce. She knew her behavior was wrong, but could anyone truly maintain their rationality at all times?

If only her elder sister had returned sooner, if only she hadn’t gotten pregnant, and if only Ji Xinxin hadn’t spoken those words to her, perhaps she wouldn’t be feeling so tormented now, so chaotic. Just as she had originally planned, she would have divorced Shi Che as soon as her elder sister returned.

But now, whenever she thought of the word "divorce," her heart felt as if it contained some inexplicable objects, disturbing her peace.

Ling Chuxia held her phone, staring at the incoming call as if it were a ferocious tiger and hastily covered the phone with her blanket. She didn’t want to answer her elder sister’s call.

She was afraid she wouldn’t know how to respond to her elder sister’s questions and feared that upon hearing her elder sister’s voice, she would be overwhelmed with guilt and discomfort.

The phone rang for a while before it hung up automatically; the room slowly quieted down, but Ling Chuxia felt an eerie, heart-racing silence.

She stared at the phone. Guilt and panic began bubbling up unceasingly from the depths of her heart and spread to every limb.

Her elder sister had just returned, was all alone, staying in a hotel outside, and Ling Chuxia was her only younger sister. She might have called for something important. How could she ignore her elder sister’s call because of her selfish reasons?

With that thought, a trace of self-reproach flashed through Ling Chuxia’s eyes. Biting her lower lip, she swiftly grabbed the phone, slid her finger, and called Ling Yunshu back.

After two rings, Ling Yunshu answered. Ling Chuxia spoke softly, "Elder sister, I’m sorry, I didn’t hear your call just now."

Lying still made her voice soft and hesitant.

Ling Yunshu didn’t seem angry; instead, she said, "I’m the one who should be sorry. It’s so early to call you. I didn’t wake you both, did I?"

She had said "both," not "you."

After all, she was still married to Che; they were supposed to be sleeping together.

Ling Chuxia’s heart tightened. These past few days, Che hadn’t been home at all; she had been sleeping alone. How could she wake ’them’? Ling Chuxia shook her head slightly before realizing Ling Yunshu couldn’t see her. She responded, "It’s okay. Master Che hasn’t been home these days."

"Oh, is that so? Is he on a business trip?" Ling Yunshu asked casually.

Ling Chuxia felt a bit unsure how to explain the situation between her and Che and vaguely hummed a response before quickly changing the subject, "Elder sister, did you call early for a specific reason?"

Ling Yunshu paused for a while, then chuckled gently, her gentle voice tinged with sadness, "Actually, it’s nothing serious. Maybe because I haven’t been back for a long time, I’m not quite accustomed to it, and I felt like chatting with you. I forgot it’s still so early over there, you might have been sleeping."

Although Ling Yunshu said nothing alarming, her voice was laden with melancholy. Ling Chuxia clutched the phone tightly, feeling a surge of extreme guilt. Yes, her elder sister had just returned, and many things were still unfamiliar and unsettling to her, yet she had been consumed with her own emotions...

"Elder sister, I’m sorry, I... I should have been with you yesterday."
