Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce

Chapter 839 - 838: I’ll Wait for You (Part 1)

The same domineering tone as ever, yet Ling Chuxia saw a trace of vulnerability in it.

She remembered vividly, when Shi Che proposed to her, he had only one request: not to leave him.

She really didn’t want to leave him, not at all, not in the slightest, but she had been selfish once, how could she continue being selfish a second time?

Besides, she wasn’t sure if what happened with that man last night was forced upon her or if she consented. How could she face Shi Che under such circumstances? How could she face the wedding he meticulously prepared for her?

Furthermore, if he found out, could he accept it?

Could any man accept such a thing?

She would rather have him hate her inexplicably than let him know about such a dirty matter.

Ling Chuxia closed her eyes tightly, and a tear silently slipped from the corner of her eye. She bit her lip hard, yet still revealed the sob stuck in her throat.

The car stopped at a traffic light, just at the central square where a giant TV screen hung. It usually played some product advertisements, but today, a piece of news had forcefully interrupted.

"Today is the wedding day of Young Master Shi, Shi Che. Originally, the wedding was set to be off-limits for interviews and broadcasts, but according to the latest reports, Young Master Shi plans to have the entire wedding live-streamed today. All the media reporters have already rushed to the scene. Now, let us witness this century wedding..."

Along with the host’s words, the TV screen began to show the wedding scene.

The luxurious crystal chandeliers adorned the entire ceiling, resplendent and dazzling. As the lights shone upon them, it was like a fairyland. Rows upon rows of neatly aligned tables were spread in two rows. The tables and chairs were of classic elegance, each table adorned with vibrant champagne-colored roses, blooming brightly, prosperously. All the dining utensils and drinks were in pairs, signifying good fortune.

Guests arrived one by one, each dressed to the nines, smiles on their faces. Every chance glimpse at a face was of someone affluent or noble.

The melodious music flowed out slowly; it was the familiar Dream Wedding.

All this, wasn’t it a dream? So dreamy, so beautiful, the wonderful dream Shi Che wanted to give her.

But this dream, she hadn’t even stepped into it, and she was already jolted awake...

Ling Chuxia gazed out blankly, her eyes mesmerized with despair.

Ji Xinxin also turned her head to look. After a while, her gaze slowly returned to Ling Chuxia, her voice hoarse, "Xiaxia, it seems Shi Che doesn’t intend to cancel the wedding."

Yes, he said it wouldn’t be canceled, said he would wait for her to go.

"And now, he’s publicizing the entire live-stream. Xiaxia, if you don’t go, it means abandoning him in front of the whole world..."

These words didn’t need Ji Xinxin to remind her. As soon as she watched the television, she was already well aware of it in her heart.

Shi Che was gambling, gambling on her feelings for him, seizing her weak spot, not letting her escape him.

How could he do this?

Ling Chuxia’s hand, little by little, clenched tightly, too much force making her fingers turn stark white.

"Xiaxia, are you sure you’re really not going to go?"

-

Ten o’clock sharp.

All the guests arrived and then took their seats one by one.

Ling Yunshu also came today, sitting beside Xiao Chen as his date.

The wedding march began to play slowly, and the newlyweds started to enter. The emcee on stage called out softly, "The groom enters."
