Chapter 681: Chapter 680: You Care About Me (8)
Ling Chuxia had just turned around to take a step when her wrist was abruptly grasped. She looked back in surprise and found herself facing Shi Che’s dark and gloomy eyes.
His brows were still tightly knit, yet he stared intently at her. His voice was hoarse as he spoke slowly, one word at a time, but decisively,
"Chuxia, what’s the matter with the child? Why did you say I don’t want your child?"
Ling Chuxia had not expected Shi Che to suddenly ask this question. She froze for a moment, then the worry in her eyes lessened, replaced by a coldness.
Why did she say he didn’t want her child? Could he really ask such a question? Wasn’t he supposed to be the clearest about all that had happened? Why bother asking her now?
But seeing him in his current state, Ling Chuxia couldn’t really argue with him. After all, he was injured while saving her. She closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible, "Shi Che, I’ll go get a doctor for you first. You have minor fractures all over your body; you can’t move around."
Saying this, her hand covered Shi Che’s, intending to pry his grip off her wrist.
Yet Shi Che was unusually stubborn, and the force on her wrist was so great that Ling Chuxia was momentarily unable to break free. Her brow furrowed, and looking at Shi Che, her voice turned half a degree colder, "Shi Che, let go!"
Shi Che just kept staring into her eyes, his voice low and urgent, "First answer me, why did you say I don’t want your child? Isn’t the child the one you... didn’t want?"
When he learned that the child was gone, the pain in his heart had been immense. And that child had been aborted by her own hands. That pain, he couldn’t forget it to this day.
Yet now, she was saying that he didn’t want the child... What exactly was going on?
When Shi Che asked the first question, Ling Chuxia found it laughable, but when he asked the second, she couldn’t believe it and her eyes widened in shock.
Shi Che was actually saying... the child was unwanted by her? How could he say such a thing?
Her eyes widened and stared hard at Shi Che, who wore an innocent, bewildered face that, in Ling Chuxia’s view, seemed all the more ironic and ridiculous.
What, was he getting ready to act again? Ready to pretend in front of her?
"I didn’t want?" Ling Chuxia’s voice suddenly rose, repeating those three words, one by one. The worry in her eyes completely faded, leaving only coldness and hatred. She even sneered with a slight laugh, "Shi Che, what act are you putting on? The child was unwanted by you yourself, are you now playing the thief crying ’stop thief’?"
The child was unwanted by him? He was playing the thief crying ’stop thief’?
Shi Che couldn’t comprehend each word that came out of Ling Chuxia’s mouth, just like the words she had said that day. He vaguely felt that the issue between him and Chuxia wasn’t simple aversion but a misunderstanding, and this misunderstanding was key to why their relationship had deteriorated to this point!
For a moment, Shi Che’s mind was extremely chaotic, but he knew that he had to clarify the issue with the child to Chuxia right away.
"Chuxia, I don’t know what the misunderstanding between us is, but I have never wanted to give up our child! It’s impossible for me to not want our child!"
Shi Che’s thin lips opened and closed, his words entering Ling Chuxia’s ears, word by word, with such urgency and certainty.
