Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce

Ling Chuxia involuntarily shivered and clenched her teeth, blurting out in her urgency, "No!"

Due to her rush, Ling Chuxia spoke a bit loudly. Shi Che’s hand paused involuntarily, his handsome face lifted, and his dark eyes fell upon her countenance, narrowing slightly, "No?"

His voice was neither heavy nor light, yet it made Ling Chuxia involuntarily swallow hard. Thinking quickly, it seemed that the most credible excuse was her menstrual cycle.

She dared not meet Shi Che’s eyes, slightly averting her gaze and restraining her feelings of guilt, she slowly began, "I... I got my period today."

However, contrary to what she expected, Shi Che did not let her go. Instead, he frowned slightly, the light in his eyes deepening as he stared at Ling Chuxia’s face. His lips parted slightly, "Isn’t your cycle not due for these couple of days?"

Shi Che’s question made Ling Chuxia’s heart jolt. She never expected that Shi Che would remember the timing of her menstrual cycle. According to her normal schedule, it indeed should have come later.

Ling Chuxia found her breath hitching, her hands clenched tightly, her eyes darting around as she strove to maintain her composure, responding, "My cycle has been a bit irregular recently... it came early this time."

Word by word, as Ling Chuxia finished speaking, Shi Che did not say anything. He continued to gaze at her, and Ling Chuxia couldn’t tell if he believed her or not. His fixed stare made her scalp tingle, but she had no choice but to tough it out to prevent him from noticing anything amiss.

But Shi Che’s gaze was always sharp, and even though Ling Chuxia was trying her best to maintain her facade, she was losing control. Just when she felt she could no longer hold on, her phone suddenly rang.
