Chapter 719: Chapter 718: The Childish Young Master Shi (2)
He could only see her for a few hours each day when she got off work in the afternoon; at other times, he was just waiting in the hospital room, like a concubine in the ancient harem waiting for the Emperor’s favor. How could he be willing to suffer such treatment?
Besides, watching her run between the company, home, and hospital every day, he couldn’t bear to see her exhausting herself like this.
"I hardly have any free time!"
She had to work every day, and her off-work time wasn’t fixed. At least in the hospital, there were nurses to take care of Shi Che. If he were at home, how could he take care of himself alone?
Ling Chuxia thought about it and still felt it wasn’t quite right. She furrowed her delicate brows, turned around, and planned to go out to continue handling his hospital admission procedures, letting him stay a bit longer.
But the moment she turned around, Shi Che’s arm was already wrapped around her waist. He looked at her, his thin lips parting slightly, "Where are you going?"
"I think you should stay in the hospital for a few more days, and be discharged after your foot is healed."
He was determined to be discharged, how could he possibly stay any longer? He said decisively, "No need, my foot is no longer a serious issue. I don’t need to take up a hospital bed here. That’s really unkind, and besides, I am staying in a VIP hospital room, which is like pouring money down the drain every day."
Although Ling Chuxia didn’t know exactly how much wealth Shi Che had, as his ex-wife, she knew that Shi Che was rich, no, very rich. Even if he treated the VIP hospital room like his home and lived there for a lifetime, it would probably only be a fraction of his wealth. And now he’s talking about money with her?
Ling Chuxia was somewhat amused and frustrated, "Are you short on that little bit of money?"
Shi Che’s brows raised and he retorted directly, "What? Do you think my money comes easily? That I can just squander it?" After a pause, his gaze shifted, a hint of teasing warmth in his eyes, "Moreover, that money is also yours. If it’s wasted like this, won’t you feel heartache?"
Her money? How was it her money?
Ling Chuxia was momentarily stunned, then realized the implication behind Shi Che’s words. Her cheeks flushed red involuntarily, but remembering something, she muttered, "It’s not my money now."
They were already divorced.
Shi Che unblinkingly replied, "It’s not now, but it will be in the future. So, for your money’s sake, let’s go home."
In the end, Ling Chuxia couldn’t persuade Shi Che and could only let him be discharged.
Xiao Chen came to pick them up. He stood by the car, and as soon as he saw Ling Chuxia supporting Shi Che walking out, his eyes lit up right away. It seemed President Shi’s efforts this month weren’t in vain—Miss Ling had finally been won over.
Thinking of this, a smile cracked his lips. He hurried forward, planning to help Ling Chuxia support Shi Che, but Shi Che subtly dodged his hand and gave him a faint glance. Xiao Chen then understood the message and dared not reach out again. Instead, he walked back in front of the car door, opened it, and waited for them to approach.

Back at the apartment, Ling Chuxia helped Shi Che sit down on the sofa and then let out a light sigh of relief. After all, Shi Che was a tall man, and supporting him all the way by herself left her a bit out of breath.
After resting for a while and seeing that it was getting late, Ling Chuxia stood up and said to Shi Che, "It’s not early anymore. You should rest well. I need to go back. If you need anything, give me a call."
Luckily, their two homes were close to each other, so she could arrive quickly if anything happened.
