Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce

Chapter 399: Chapter 398: No Wonder You’re So Impatient (4)

Ling Yunshu sensed that something about the atmosphere seemed off, and she looked blankly at Shi Che, then at Ling Chuxia, before softly clearing her throat and speaking up, "Um... it looks like you two have something to discuss, so I’ll step out for now. Xiaxia, I’ll come back to check on you later."

After saying that, she turned around and left, gently closing the door behind her.

Although the door closed softly, it felt like a heavy blow to Ling Chuxia’s heart.

She truly hadn’t known how Ling Yunshu had returned; these days, she had not been in contact with her elder sister at all. After all, with the car accident, followed by the loss of her child, she was already emotionally shattered to the point of being unable to think.

But there was Ling Yunshu, suddenly appearing, just like that, running into Shi Che.

The woman he loved deeply had finally come back, finally appeared before him once again. At this moment, he must be very happy, right?

Once they were divorced, he could rightfully marry her elder sister, and the once wrong marriage could be corrected. Between them, in the end, it was a mistake; even the feelings... were a mistake.

Then why, why did her chest still ache so much? It hurt as if she was about to suffocate. Her hand involuntarily covered her chest, feeling like she could hardly bear it any longer.

She just wished Shi Che would quickly take the divorce agreement, sign it, and leave this place.

She didn’t want to see him anymore, didn’t want to face him! She was afraid she couldn’t hold back and would collapse in front of him.

Ling Chuxia took a deep breath, almost using all her strength just to be able to speak, "Shi Che, sign it."

Her hand still held the divorce agreement, extending it straight towards Shi Che.

These words, this gesture, completely destroyed Shi Che’s rationality. His eyes turned bloodshot, filled with surging rage and resentment, and he strode forward, grabbing Ling Chuxia’s collar with a forceful grip and violently pulling her down from the bed.

Caught off guard, Ling Chuxia was yanked down by him, and although she was off the bed, her feet couldn’t touch the ground because Shi Che was holding her collar, leaving her almost entirely suspended in the air.

Shi Che’s strength was enormous, his hand tightening into a fist on her collar, the veins on the back of his hand throbbing as he looked at Ling Chuxia with that gaze, his voice low and fierce, "No wonder you’re in such a hurry, Ling Chuxia, you’re doing... really well!"

Every word he uttered seemed to pop out from between gritted teeth, icy to the extreme.

Ling Chuxia hadn’t expected Shi Che to look at her with such eyes. Everything was going as he wished, wasn’t it? The child was gone, she had signed the divorce agreement—wasn’t this what he wanted? noveldrama

But why, why was he so angry, even looking at her with eyes full of hatred?

Shi Che’s grip on Ling Chuxia’s collar kept tightening. He stared at her delicate neck, and for a fleeting moment, he truly wished he could just strangle her.

Then, they would both perish together, and everything would be ended.

But his hands trembled furiously and he just couldn’t bring himself to do it; even at this point, he still couldn’t hurt her a bit.

Shi Che’s breathing was ragged, and his eyes turned progressively redder.

On his way here, he was thinking about what he would say to Ling Chuxia: I want you, and I want this child too, Ling Chuxia, let’s start over.

But it turned out, all of that was still his foolish wishful thinking. There was no child, no Chuxia, no family of three, and no starting over.
