Child Bride (8)

Mrs. Shi had always spoken with meekness and warmth. With her mild smiles, she was a true lady from a respectable family. Educated and cultured, she was graceful and unintimidating. She was prudent with her words to keep up her image, however, her words were powerful.

There was the usual chatter, but every word and sentence unleashed hit Ling Chuxia hard. She was almost out of breath.

If Shi Che were an Emperor, whom she had to lavish her tender loving care on, then Mrs. Shi would be the Empress Dowager whom she dared not defy.

At times, Mrs. Shi's words were more effective than Shi Che's.

Since her childhood, she was taught and guided by Mrs. Shi. The latter had programmed her thought process. Gradually, in the time to come, she was enslaved.

Sometimes Shi Che would ridicule her, mocking her as a puppet with no mind of her own. Even if Mrs. Shi would want to take her life, she would willingly offer her neck!

Would she really comply when Mrs. Shi asked for her life? She did not know the answer. However, in this instance, she would obey every instruction.

On her first wedding anniversary, Mrs. Shi would bring up the baby issue intentionally or unintentionally. However, at that time, she did not pursue the newlyweds vehemently.

A year passed, two years passed, and now it was the third year. Mrs. Shi could no longer keep her calm. She was unable to hold herself back, and she made no bones about the baby issue.

Let's not be fooled by Mrs. Shi's usual benevolence and meekness. Her style was resolute and driven. She would only hire staff who were obedient and competent.

If her daughter-in-law were obedient but incompetent, she would not hesitate to replace her.

However, she would never ever be replaced.

Ling Chuxia opened her eyes abruptly, her breath was rapid, she touched her forehead and her palms were sweating.

Her rolling eyes scanned the surroundings, she saw familiarity and her palpitating heart started to calm down.

Oh! She was no longer in the old house listening to Mrs. Shi's nagging. She was in her bedroom, lying on her bed.

Ling Chuxia caught sight of the other side of the bed, where Shi Che slept with his back against her. She could admire his broad and muscular back.

Oh yes! Shi Che had returned home and was sound asleep beside her!

Such a golden opportunity and how could she have prioritized sleep over the rare opportunity?

In a flash, Ling Chuxia completely extinguished her drowsiness and was totally freed from her nightmare.

She was at her wits' end when Shi Che left home hastily after he had flown into a rage. He was away from home for a lengthy three to four months. There were rumors bustling from every source, one day he was seen shopping with a new celebrity actress, and another day he was caught dining with a formidable businesswoman…

Even Mrs. Shi was getting listless and restless and summoned her back home daily to lecture her. Her ears were suffering and her life was hanging by a fine thread. She was swamped by bad dreams every night. Whenever the phone rang, she would shudder with fear.

Ling Chuxia had put in her best efforts, her countless attempts to contact Shi Che were futile. Young Master had always been harsh towards her. Things were aggravated when he was infuriated with her. 

The phone calls she had made were either hung up or declined. After several futile attempts, she was disheartened and gave up on being snubbed. She had not wished for future deterioration.

Now, he was finally back home on his own accord…
