Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce

Chapter 410: Chapter 409: I Am Willing to Play Along With You (5)

Shi Che looked so calm, so indifferent, yet there was not a trace of affection for Ling Chuxia in his demeanor. Mrs. Shi grew increasingly puzzled. If that was the case, why was he unwilling to divorce?

Or, did he merely object to her arranging his marriage affairs? Or perhaps, he no longer liked Yun Shu?

Many thoughts flashed through Mrs. Shi’s mind. She pondered deeply for a moment, and her anger slightly subsided. "Che’er, if you are not satisfied with the marriage arrangements I’ve made, you can choose on your own. If you don’t like Yun Shu and you have your eye on another well-mannered lady from a respectable family, I will agree."

Although Mrs. Shi said this, in her heart, Yun Shu was the best choice, and moreover, she firmly believed that Che still liked Yun Shu.

Listening to Mrs. Shi and Che’s conversation, Ling Yunshu’s heart felt like it was on a roller coaster, fluctuating up and down, never able to settle.

Today at the hospital, although she was outside the sickroom, she could still feel how tense the atmosphere inside was. Between Shi Che and Ling Chuxia, with so many misunderstandings, this divorce was inevitably going to happen. noveldrama

Ling Chuxia had also told her personally that she and Che had divorced.

She had thought that with Che’s proud nature, if Chuxia didn’t love him, he wouldn’t lower himself to beg for her love; he wouldn’t try to keep her. But now, Che was unwilling to divorce Chuxia?

Could it be that Che was really going to try and keep Ling Chuxia?

Ling Yunshu’s body involuntarily trembled, her teeth fiercely biting her lower lip.

Had she ultimately underestimated Che’s feelings for Ling Chuxia? If he adamantly refused to agree to the divorce, what could she do?

After striving for so long, was it all really going to be in vain?

No... How could she accept that? Her hands clenched tighter, her nails digging painfully into her flesh.

"Mother, I’ve said that I won’t divorce. You don’t need to worry. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now." Che’s voice was calm and unhurried, and after saying this, he stood up, nodded at Mrs. Shi, and walked towards the door.

However, Mrs. Shi, incensed by Che’s repeated contradictions, couldn’t suppress her fury any longer and her voice suddenly raised, "Shi Che, stop right there!"

Che halted but did not turn around.

Mrs. Shi stared intensely at his back; her usual elegance and calmness were gone, replaced only with deep fury. For many years, Che had always been filial and never talked back to her. Today, however, he had contradicted her repeatedly. How could she not be angry?

She glared at Che’s back, her voice harsh, "Shi Che, I tell you, you are free to marry anyone you wish, but you must divorce Ling Chuxia! Ling Chuxia does not deserve to be the Young Madam of our Shi Family!"

Che’s expression did not change at all, not even a flicker in his eyes, as if he hadn’t heard Mrs. Shi’s words at all, he simply continued walking toward the door.

Mrs. Shi had never expected that Che would not only talk back to her but even ignore her command. Immediately, a surge of rage pooled inside her, ascending swiftly to her brain; her breathing became rapid, her face turning pale instantly.

"Shi Che you..." She managed to grit out these few words, then suddenly her eyes rolled back, and everything went dark as she fell to the ground.
