Chapter 147 - 146: Final Deadline (8)
Ling Chuxia never expected Mrs. Shi to suddenly ask such a question. She was completely stunned and couldn’t react at all.
Mrs. Shi looked at Ling Chuxia’s demeanor, her brows deeply furrowed, growing more dissatisfied, "Or should I ask, has Che’er ever touched you?"
Originally, Shi Che’s chosen marriage partner was Ling Yunshu. It was she who had pointed Ling Chuxia out to Shi Che. At that time, she thought since the two sisters looked alike and had both grown up with Shi Che, who was full of youthful vigor, even if he didn’t like her now, he would come to like her after marriage. But she never expected that some things simply can’t be forced. Shi Che didn’t like Ling Chuxia; he just didn’t.
Mrs. Shi’s directness made Ling Chuxia’s cheeks turn red in an instant, but this redness wasn’t from shyness but from fear.
With Mrs. Shi asking her such a question, it was clear she wanted to confirm that Shi Che truly didn’t like her. Then, there would be no need for any hesitation; she could simply replace her.
Ling Chuxia only felt a chill running down her spine, her back breaking out in cold sweat. She knew she couldn’t lie, couldn’t deceive Mrs. Shi. But how could she tell the truth?
