Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 936 - 935: No Turning Back (Part 3)
Shi Che wanted to pull his hand back immediately, but looking at her cautious appearance, he ultimately couldn’t do it. He turned his hand over and grasped Ling Chuxia’s hand, pulling it towards him.
He lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on her hand, with its slender, fair fingers. He played with them for a moment, then spoke calmly, "Chuxia, do you know what I thought when I found out that Xiao Chen and Ling Yunshu were behind what happened that night?"
Ling Chuxia never expected Shi Che to suddenly talk about this, leaving her momentarily stunned and unable to respond.
However, it seemed Shi Che didn’t need her to answer, as he continued, "I thought, why did I let Ling Yunshu off so easily back then?"
"If that time, I had given her a proper lesson, then perhaps she wouldn’t have been able to continue hurting you. You wouldn’t have suffered for such a long time."
"Do you know? Watching you in pain back then, my heart ached even more than yours. I regretted and lamented countless times, yet it was all to no avail. So... Chuxia, I told myself that I must never let such a thing happen again."
"Chuxia, I can promise you anything, but as for Ling Yunshu, I absolutely cannot let her off easily."
Shi Che’s voice was calm, but every word was resolute, making it impossible for Ling Chuxia to refute him.
Ling Chuxia was not surprised by Shi Che’s words. If today she hadn’t been moved by something Xiao Chen said, her attitude would definitely have been the same as Shi Che’s. However...
She sighed softly, thought for a moment, and said, "What if Ling Yunshu has already gone to the United States?"
She was considering that if Ling Yunshu really listened to Xiao Chen and went to the United States, never to return, then... remembering that Xiao Chen hadn’t truly ruined her innocence, she could at least promise him not to pursue it further.
"She hasn’t left."
Shi Che looked up at her, his thin lips lightly opening, uttering four simple words that made Ling Chuxia’s eyes sharpen, "Hasn’t left?"
"No."
Shi Che replied affirmatively, with a hint of mockery in his tone, "Yesterday, I sent someone to intercept her at the airport, but she didn’t show up. So, she probably isn’t planning to leave. What Xiao Chen did for her, she may not appreciate."
Ling Chuxia frowned tightly, shaking her head incredulously. Although she and Ling Yunshu were twins, and everyone said there was some kind of telepathy between twins, over the years, she really couldn’t see through Ling Yunshu, nor could she sense what was in her mind.
Xiao Chen gave her all his vitality, and she still cherished none of it?
Thinking of what Xiao Chen said to her today, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of sorrow for him, and find her own soft-heartedness laughable.
Ling Chuxia closed her eyes, then opened them again, her gaze now clear, "If Ling Yunshu truly doesn’t appreciate what Xiao Chen has done for her, then we have no reason to let her go either."
When you do something wrong, you must face the consequences, right?
-
In the following days, although Ling Yunshu hadn’t gone to the United States, her whereabouts remained unknown. Shi Che continued to discreetly have people search for her but had not found her.
Ling Chuxia didn’t know whether to feel relieved for Xiao Chen; at least Ling Yunshu... somewhat listened to him, perhaps.
Because Xiao Chen confessed to all his crimes, the sentencing came quickly. On the day he was sentenced, the sky was somewhat gloomy, with the cold wind blowing fiercely.
