Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 426 - 425: Wait for Me (1)

"Sister, I’m going to leave now." Ling Chuxia spoke, then turned to leave; however, Ling Yunshu’s voice paused, then rose again, "Xiaxia, he and I are getting engaged."

Ling Chuxia rooted in place, her dark eyes suddenly contracted as she instinctively looked at Ling Yunshu.

He, whom Ling Yunshu did not specify, was unmistakably Shi Che.

Ling Chuxia’s throat felt as if it had been clutched by a large hand, squeezing so tightly that she struggled to breathe. Her lips trembled and she opened her mouth several times before she could speak, "You ... you’re getting engaged?"

"Mm." Ling Yunshu nodded slowly, her eyes and eyebrows tinged with a shade of happiness.

Ling Chuxia stood frozen on the spot, her heart plummeting into the abyss. She had thought that the scene she had witnessed just now was painful enough, but now ... this was truly heart-wrenching.

Her hands, hanging at her sides, slowly grasped the corners of her own clothes, tightening her grip bit by bit, enabling her to mask her current emotions.

She forced a smile and looked at Ling Yunshu, pushing herself to speak word by word, "Then ... con ... congratulations to you both."

"Thank you." Ling Yunshu smiled sweetly, her expression filled with happiness.

Still, Ling Chuxia could not stop a trace of moisture from emerging in her eyes. She didn’t dare let Ling Yunshu see and suddenly lowered her gaze.

But soon, Ling Yunshu as if reminded of something, her smile slightly faded, and she looked at Ling Chuxia with a somewhat solemn expression, hesitating a bit before saying, "Xiaxia, what ... what are your plans for the future?"

Plans for the future?

Hearing Ling Yunshu’s hesitant question, Ling Chuxia felt an ominous premonition unexpectedly surfacing in her heart. Suppressing the anxiety within, she lifted her eyes to look at Ling Yunshu and truthfully replied, "I don’t know yet."

She indeed did not know what her plans were.

Until now, her life had revolved around the Shi Family, around Shi Che. Now that she and Shi Che had divorced, suddenly, her entire world seemed to have vanished.

She simply did not know where to go from here.

Ling Yunshu took a light breath, her red lips slightly parted as she said, pausing between each word, "Then Xiaxia, have you ever thought about ... leaving?"

Leaving?

Ling Chuxia’s eyes suddenly froze, and she just stared fixedly at Ling Yunshu.

Ling Chuxia stared back with her clear, black and white eyes, her gaze carrying a mix of confusion and sadness. Ling Yunshu’s heart also felt as if something was pressing down on it, heavy and wrenching.

Ling Chuxia was her biological younger sister ... her only family ... She couldn’t bear to scheme against her, to deceive her.

But ... who could blame her since Shi Che loved her? And she, too, had fallen in love with Shi Che?

She had no choice, personal survival is paramount!

Ling Yunshu clenched her teeth tightly, her gaze becoming resolute as she continued looking into Ling Chuxia’s eyes, "You’re still young, you should see more of the world, do you want to continue studying? There are many good universities abroad, I can help you arrange that, or would you like to take a break first? Go on a vacation? Any place you want to go, you can."

Studying? Going abroad? A vacation??

These words, why did they sound so familiar, as if this was fate’s recurring cycle.

Ling Chuxia’s eyes slowly filled with profound sorrow, her voice low as she slowly began, "Is this... Madam’s idea? Or... Shi Che’s?"
