She didn't know why she was hiding, but when she came to her senses, she had already hidden herself well. She cautiously peeked out and looked toward the sofa.
From her angle, she could see Shi Che's profile. His side face had an extremely strong contour, the lines were sexy, and just looking at it made one's heart flutter involuntarily.
But she didn't have the mind to appreciate any of this right now. All her attention was focused on the question Mrs. Shi had asked.
She couldn't understand why Mrs. Shi would ask this, but she knew that if Shi Che showed dissatisfaction with her, then she would definitely be done for.
Mrs. Shi's displeasure with her because of the child issue had already reached a peak. If... if Shi Che answered unsatisfactorily, then... Mrs. Shi would not give her any more chances and would directly replace her.
Thinking of this, Ling Chuxia couldn't help but feel her whole body turning cold bit by bit.
Shi Che had never liked her and was not satisfied with her, so how could she expect him to have any other answer? Besides, just last night, she had angered him to the point where he slammed the door and left...
The more Ling Chuxia thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her body began to tremble violently.
-
However, over there, Shi Che was silent, never opening his mouth to answer Mrs. Shi's question.
Mrs. Shi was a little anxious from waiting, frowned, and continued speaking in a straightforward and sharp tone, "Che'er, is the reason you don't want children because you don't like Xiaoxia?"
Shi Che furrowed his brow slightly and finally spoke, "Mom, I've told you, we are still young, there's no hurry about children."
"Stop using this excuse to brush me off. When your dad and I were your age, you were already several years old." Mrs. Shi angrily poked Shi Che hard, "You clearly know how much I want to hold a grandchild."
She looked up at Shi Che's indifferent and handsome face, but couldn't help sighing inwardly.
Although the child came from her womb, Shi Che had always been deep in thought since a young age, and she couldn't understand at all what her son was thinking.
Mrs. Shi complained, but she was unusually persistent about that question, as if she would not give up until she got an answer.
"Che'er, back then, when you were given a choice, you chose Xiao Shu. It was I who insisted on having you marry Xiaoxia. These years, seeing your relationship with Xiaoxia not going well, and you not being very happy, Mom actually feels very guilty. At that time, Mom just thought Xiaoxia was more suitable for you, but now Mom has seen through it. Living life is a matter between two people, and it's only within one's own understanding, others can't interfere. If you're truly dissatisfied with Xiaoxia, I can bring Xiao Shu back."
Bring Xiao Shu back...
Upon hearing these words, the heart that had been lodged in Ling Chuxia's throat instantly fell softly to the ground.
So... Mrs. Shi still had her elder sister in mind after all.
So, Madam was planning to have her elder sister replace her?
If that's the case... if that's the case, then she...
She hadn't finished thinking when she suddenly heard Shi Che's low voice ring out, inexplicably carrying a layer of coldness, "No need."
