CHAPTER 755: CHAPTER 754: LET’S HAVE A CHILD (4)

He even wanted to drag her directly to the civil affairs bureau to re-register their marriage to prevent her from running away again.

Shi Che looked at Ling Chuxia’s pursed red lips and couldn’t help but lower his head and give her a kiss. He wasn’t annoyed by Ling Chuxia’s refusal; instead, his voice became more teasing, "So, Miss Chuxia only dislikes the recruitment conditions, not the job itself?"

With one sentence, Ling Chuxia’s cheeks flushed fiercely, suggesting she very much wanted to accept Shi Che’s proposal, but... she seemed... to really want it.

But what about wanting it? Wouldn’t any woman want a romantic proposal? If Shi Che couldn’t propose properly this time, she wouldn’t consider marrying him again.

Ling Chuxia still had her eyes wide open, humming, "Wait until you’ve revised the conditions then we’ll talk."

The smile in Shi Che’s dark eyes grew richer, and his thin lips parted slightly, word by word he said, "Okay."

-

Since that night Shi Che agreed with that "okay," Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but sketch in her mind how Shi Che would propose to her. Would it be as romantic as the male and female leads in Korean dramas?

Many images involuntarily emerged in her mind, each one making Ling Chuxia’s heart bubble with sweetness.

However, before Ling Chuxia could receive Shi Che’s proposal, she was summoned by Mrs. Shi.

-

The Shi Family’s old house was too familiar a place for Ling Chuxia, so familiar that she could navigate it blindfolded.

Yet now, as she sat on the living room sofa, looking at all the familiar surroundings made her feel on edge.

Mrs. Shi sat opposite her, still dignified and elegant, showing no sign of the paleness she had last time Ling Chuxia saw her. It was clear she had recovered well; in just half a year, she seemed back to her original self.

She sat there, elegantly sipping her tea, her movements neither hurried nor slow, yet each movement unconsciously exerted immense pressure on Ling Chuxia.

Of course, Ling Chuxia wasn’t afraid of Mrs. Shi now, but she was worried that Mrs. Shi would oppose her and Shi Che getting back together.

After all, Mrs. Shi had never liked her as her daughter-in-law.

Previously, Ling Chuxia didn’t care whether Mrs. Shi liked her or not; her only concern was keeping her position as Young Madam. But now it was different; she loved Shi Che, and Mrs. Shi was Shi Che’s mother, so she naturally began to care about Mrs. Shi’s opinion of her.

Mrs. Shi took a sip of tea, set down the cup, and slowly raised her eyes to look at Ling Chuxia.

Ling Chuxia sat there quietly, the dullness of those three years gone from her eyebrows, replaced by a certain sprightliness, as if she had returned to her former self. Yet in front of her, she was still respectfully demure, no longer as agitated as before, which somewhat satisfied Mrs. Shi.

She watched Ling Chuxia for a while and finally spoke, "Rest assured, I didn’t call you here today to oppose you and Che’er being together."

As Ling Chuxia sat anxiously waiting for Mrs. Shi to speak, she hadn’t expected her first words to be this; she was fiercely taken aback.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Shi suddenly smiled, "To be honest, I’m not satisfied with you, but Che loves you dearly, so I can only respect his choice. I have no demands on you, just that once you are married, have a child soon enough, that would suffice."

Child...

The word suddenly shot into her mind, causing Ling Chuxia’s hand to clench tightly.
