Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce

Chapter 415: Chapter 414: I’m Willing to Play Along with You (10)

Ling Yunshu walked up to Shi Che’s side, slightly turned her face, and looked at his profile. His facial contours were extremely handsome, his features deep and strikingly beautiful.

Even though his face was expressionless at the moment, it still caused her heart to beat faster unconsciously, her breathing slightly hurried.

A blush crept up Ling Yunshu’s cheeks, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, softly beginning, "Young Master, Madam is momentarily out of danger and is now sleeping soundly."

Shi Che glanced at her with a faint gaze, his voice indifferent but still uttered a word, "Thank you."

Ling Yunshu immediately shook her head, "Young Master, what are you talking about? Madam has been so kind to me over these years, it’s only right for me to take care of her."

Shi Che’s dark eyes slowly moved back to the night sky outside the window, his deep gaze inscrutable, revealing not a hint of emotion.

Ling Yunshu fell silent for a while, her eyes blinking slightly, she bit her lower lip, then spoke up again, "Young Master, the doctor has said that with Madam’s current condition, we can’t allow her to get agitated or to endure any more shocks, otherwise her illness will only worsen faster. So I was thinking... I think..."

She paused, then mustered up her courage and continued, "Young Master, please agree to Madam’s final wish."

Shi Che’s expression turned colder at Ling Yunshu’s words, his dark eyes swept over her, his gaze landing directly on Ling Yunshu’s face, his voice as deep as ever, "What wish? Divorcing Chuxia and marrying you?"

That voice made Ling Yunshu’s heart jump sharply. To be honest, even though she had liked Shi Che for many years, whenever he was in front of her, she always felt an unconscious sense of oppression, a slight feeling of suffocation.

Yet, this kind of suffocation made her heart leap uncontrollably.

Such a man was worthy of her; he could conquer her, make her willingly and even desperately seize his love.

She believed she would surely succeed.

Ling Yunshu steadied herself, looked up at Shi Che, and tried to speak in a light tone, "What, marrying me would be a loss for you? At least my suitors could fill several trucks, and when you had the choice, didn’t you choose me as well?"

If it were the usual her, she naturally would not speak like this. However, after learning about Shi Che’s feelings, she understood that what Shi Che liked was not a prim and proper woman, not the rule-abiding Ling Yunshu, but the mischievous, lively and cheerful Ling Chuxia.

If he liked it, what harm was there in conforming to his tastes? After all, she and Chuxia looked exactly alike, didn’t they?

While she spoke, her head tilted unconsciously, and a glimmer of light shone faintly in her big eyes. Shi Che looked into her eyes, and for a brief moment, there was a hint of distraction, but it was only an instant before he returned to normal.

He looked at Ling Yunshu steadily, his eyes deep, his thin lips parted slightly, and his words were cruelly hopeless as he said each one deliberately, "Ling Yunshu, I won’t divorce Chuxia, and I won’t marry you."

Even though she had braced herself for such an answer, when Shi Che actually said it to her, Ling Yunshu still felt a sharp pain in her chest, her face paling slightly, but she forced a smile and continued with a twinkle in her eye, "I know, so, I’m willing to put on an act with you."noveldrama
