She unconsciously held her breath, waiting for Shi Che to continue speaking, but after he had said those words, he did not continue. Instead, he simply closed his eyes.
Ling Chuxia felt an urgent anxiety in her heart, wanting to ask Shi Che what he meant, but her mouth opened and no words would come out.
In the end, she still didn’t dare to pursue the question. After all, her past experiences had taught her that she often unintentionally said the wrong thing, angering Shi Che. Many times, she would remain silent if she could.
But... what did that sentence really mean?
Was he telling her not to take the divorce so seriously? Could it be... that Shi Che was saying he wouldn’t divorce her, so she should be at ease?
Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but glance at Shi Che again. With his eyes closed and his thick lashes drooping, his breathing even, the fierce aura he normally exuded was retracted, and he seemed remarkably gentle at that moment.
Ling Chuxia thought, that must be what his words meant, right?
He wouldn’t divorce her, so even if Mrs. Shi wanted them to divorce, as long as he didn’t agree, they would not divorce. Otherwise, why would he have so straightforwardly torn up the divorce agreement today?
She had always thought that whether or not they would divorce was Mrs. Shi’s decision, so she had gone to great lengths to complete all the tasks Mrs. Shi gave her, obeying her every word without daring to resist. But she had never considered that, in the end, just a few words from Shi Che could secure the marriage she had fought so hard to hold on to.
If she had known this would be the case, why bother to court favor with Mrs. Shi? She would have been better off trying to please Shi Che directly.
So, was Shi Che indicating he didn’t plan to divorce her? Then, could she still secure her position as the Young Madam and wait for her elder sister to return?
All her efforts had been aimed at not getting divorced, and now, Shi Che’s words were like a soothing pill for her. These days, her heart had been hanging by a thread, and it almost settled back into place at that moment.
Wait! She seemed to have forgotten something...
Before Ling Chuxia’s relaxing heart even had the chance to settle, it was abruptly suspended again. How could she have forgotten about being pregnant?
Previously, to deal with Mrs. Shi, she had manipulated Shi Che, and even though the outcome was still uncertain, what if... what if she did become pregnant after a week?
Shi Che had made it clear to her that she... wasn’t fit to bear his child, which showed how much he didn’t want her child, plus the child was conceived through her schemes.
If she became pregnant, Ling Chuxia could hardly imagine how Shi Che would react!
Last time, when she hadn’t succeeded in getting pregnant, Shi Che had already been so furious. This time... Ling Chuxia didn’t dare to contemplate, her body involuntarily shuddering.
If she did indeed become pregnant this time, would Shi Che be so angry that he would just divorce her? So in the end, would she have to divorce Shi Che after all?
Ling Chuxia truly felt that God was toying with her.
Before, she had worked so hard to get pregnant, and now that it had finally happened, she... she just hoped she wasn’t!
But these sorts of things were never within her control. If she really did end up pregnant, she couldn’t possibly go through with an abortion, could she?
As this thought flashed across her mind, Ling Chuxia’s body jolted sharply, and she stared wide-eyed.
For some reason, as these few words echoed in her mind, her heart unexpectedly began to feel an indescribable resistance.
