She did not say much, but the servant understood instantly.
Madam and Ling Chuxia had set a three-month deadline, which was now almost due, yet there was still no sign of motion from Ling Chuxia, no wonder Mrs. Shi had to make contingency plans.
It seemed that if Ling Chuxia could not get pregnant within three months, Mrs. Shi would definitely abandon her as a candidate.
Ling Chuxia went downstairs for breakfast, tidied herself up, and then left the house with her bag in hand. To avoid suspicion, she told Sister Hua that she was going to see Ji Xinxin.
Sister Hua nodded and reminded her to be careful.
Ling Chuxia left the villa, took a taxi, and then swiftly pulled out a coat, sunglasses, a mask, and a hat from her bag and deftly put them on.
Although she was not a celebrity and not that conspicuous, she was still Shi Che’s wife, the Young Madam of the Shi Family. It was possible that someone might recognize her. No matter what, this time, she had to be extremely careful and not leak a single breath of her plans.
The driver, while driving, couldn’t help but glance at the rearview mirror, watching Ling Chuxia’s quick transformation from a graceful and elegant lady to a nearly tightly-wrapped mummy, and was instantly dumbfounded.
Ling Chuxia completed her disguise and, upon noticing the driver staring at her with wide eyes, feared that he might recognize something. She pretended to be fierce and yelled at him, "What are you looking at! Haven’t you seen a beautiful woman before!"
Seeing such a gentle-looking young lady speaking so rudely, the driver swallowed hard and immediately averted his eyes, focusing on driving.
Arriving at the hospital, Ling Chuxia paid the fare and got out of the cab, looked around to see if there was anything unusual, and then adjusted her sunglasses and lowered her hat a little more, her head slightly bowed as she walked into the hospital.
The egg retrieval process went quite smoothly, but once the anesthesia wore off, Ling Chuxia still felt a strange sensation in her body, and there was pain, but this pain, compared to everything else, was insignificant.
What was a little pain if she could successfully get pregnant?
Ling Chuxia did not dare to leave the hospital immediately but rested for several hours until she felt somewhat recovered before she left.
As soon as Ling Chuxia left the hospital, she received a call from Shi Che who had to go on a sudden business trip and asked her to pack some luggage and bring it to the airport for him.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Chuxia hurriedly flagged down a cab and rushed home, afraid of delaying Shi Che’s schedule. On the way, she called Sister Hua and asked her to help with the packing.
With all this rushing around, it took Ling Chuxia more than two hours to reach the airport. She pushed her luggage hurriedly to the VIP waiting area. Her complexion, already not very comfortable, was now slightly pale.
But the moment Ling Chuxia saw him, she knew she must have kept him waiting anxiously. She quickly approached and said in a soft voice, "Sorry, I’m late."
Ling Chuxia’s voice was already weak, and now it sounded even more evident.
Shi Che’s face, normally expressionless, suddenly furrowed in concern when he looked up and saw Ling Chuxia’s complexion. He stood up, his dark eyes fixed on her face, and asked with a deep voice, "Why do you look so pale?"
Ling Chuxia subconsciously touched her own face, feeling a slight startle in her heart. She couldn’t let Shi Che see that something was amiss with her. She lowered her face a little and forced a faint smile, "No, I might have caught a cold this morning."
