"How did it go, did you hit the jackpot?"
As soon as the call connected, Ji Xinxin’s slightly husky voice came through from the other end of the phone, tantalizing to the bone. However, at this moment, Ling Chuxia had no desire whatsoever to appreciate it.
"What’s with your voice? Don’t tell me you failed?"
Ling Chuxia shook her head slightly, then realizing that she couldn’t be seen, her red lips parted, and her voice was very low, "I’m pregnant."
When Ling Chuxia said this, there was not the slightest joy in her tone, but instead a deep sense of exhaustion and loss. Ji Xinxin’s fine brows furrowed, and her tone became more serious, "From your voice, I can’t hear any joy for success. What happened?"
Chuxia pursed her lips, at a loss for where to begin. Xinxin didn’t press her further, simply stating, "Where are you? Let’s meet and talk."
Chuxia gave her a rough location and ten minutes later, a white nanny van pulled up in front of her. The door was pulled open and Ji Xinxin’s voice was crisp and to the point, "Get in."
The nanny van drove slowly. Ling Chuxia looked sideways at Ji Xinxin, her pretty face adorned with delicate makeup, wearing a long pink gown, clearly having rushed here from some event.
Chuxia couldn’t help feeling a bit annoyed, "If you’re busy, you didn’t have to come."
Ji Xinxin glanced at her with a haughty smile, "At my level, I would be letting down my status if I didn’t throw my weight around." Then she stared straight at her and demanded, "What on earth is going on?"
Ling Chuxia truly felt torn and helpless, needing to vent, she didn’t hold back anything, detailing everything that had happened recently.
After hearing everything, Ji Xinxin’s beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, "Does it need to be this dramatic? Is this the best twist in history?"
Ling Chuxia had no mood for chatting, her eyes cast down, hands twisting together, her face full of worry, "I don’t even know what to do now."
Ji Xinxin observed Ling Chuxia’s expression, her eyes narrowed slightly as if a gleam sparkled within them. She slowly began to speak, "Xiaxia, isn’t your reaction a bit off? After all, you only got pregnant to avoid divorce. Now Shi Che has already said he won’t divorce you, so this child is no longer needed and might even become a risk factor that leads to divorce. With your usual style, you wouldn’t be at a loss, but instead, you’d already be lying in a hospital having surgery, wouldn’t you?"
Over the years, she watched Ling Chu do everything within her power to maintain her position as the Young Madam, even swallowing the bitterest grief. Even going as far as calculatingly scheming against Shi Che. Now that the child had become an obstacle, shouldn’t her first impulse be to get rid of it?
Ji Xinxin’s words were always incisive. Ling Chuxia’s heart trembled fiercely, her hands twisting even tighter.
Indeed, under the current circumstances, aborting the child seemed like the best and most straightforward option. But... but she... she didn’t want to, not at all, and she didn’t even know why. She just shook her head subconsciously.
Seeing Ling Chuxia’s reaction, Ji Xinxin had a clear understanding of what was in her heart. She reached out her hand, placing it on Chuxia’s shoulder and turned her body towards her. Staring into her eyes, she spoke, pausing with every word, "Xiaxia, do you love him?"
