Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce

But even though he loved Ling Chuxia, he couldn’t approach her too blatantly, for he understood his mother; she would never allow him to have what he liked. It would become his weakness and cloud his judgment.

So, if he ever wanted to marry Chuxia in the future, he couldn’t get too close to her, couldn’t show his feelings for Ling Chuxia. At that time, everyone was rooting for him and Ling Yunshu. Making a mistake, he progressively got closer to Yun Shu, and when people said they were a couple, he never objected, even choosing Yun Shu without hesitation when the time came to decide. As expected, Mrs. Shi had him marry Chuxia. In that moment, he feigned calmness, but inside, it was as if a flower bloomed in his heart.

Everyone was watching Ling Yun Shu, but only he was looking at Ling Chuxia. However, Chuxia’s expression was not as joyful as he had hoped, which left him feeling somewhat disheartened.

Fearing that Ling Chuxia might have misunderstood him, he pondered deeply and decided to explain himself clearly and confess his feelings to her.

That night, he took slow and steady steps to Ling Chuxia’s room’s doorway, carrying a heart in his chest that thumped like a little rabbit. Always having learned to be composed and indifferent in his dealings, he found himself in that moment much like a young boy—eager, agitated, yet shy.

He still had his pride and his timidity, so he knocked on the door, and when he heard movement inside, indicating someone was about to open it, he stopped her.

He said, "Don’t open the door, I’ll just speak from here."
