Ling Chuxia did not know why Shi Che had suddenly let out a laugh. She did not find her question amusing in any way. His laugh did, however, leave her slightly flustered.

Instinctively, she swallowed hard and asked, “Is… is there anything you need?”

Shi Che said nothing. He stood up straight and opened the drawer by the bed. He proficiently dug out the box of ECP and threw it at her directly.

The rectangular box hit her head and fell off her cheek to land on the bed.

“Take it.”

His low-pitched voice was still slightly hoarse from the lust but was as curt as could be. It did not carry even a hint of concern.

Ling Chuxia struggled slightly to maintain her facial expression. She wanted to get pregnant and have a child. That was why she had quietly tolerated everything, despite her fears, her reluctance, and how roughly Shi Che handled her.

Alas, the result was unchanged, as Shi Che threw her the ECP once again…

At this rate, she would never get pregnant and would not be able to complete Mrs. Shi’s mission for her. If so, then…

Ling Chuxia dared not even think of the aftermath.

She looked at the box of pills on the bed and compressed her lips. With both her hands, she gripped the box tightly and mustered the courage to look up at Shi Che, as he started to dress up.

She took a deep breath and weighed her words. Finally, she spoke softly, “Regarding that… we’ve been married for three years… Is it time… time to… have a child?” 

Shi Che paused the buttoning of his shirt upon hearing this. He looked up to face Ling Chuxia.

Ling Chuxia’s head was slightly drooped as she avoided his gaze. Her pearly white teeth gently bit on her lower lip. Her fingers tugged at the blanket without her noticing. Her fingertips appeared discolored.

Her narrow shoulders peeked out of the thin blanket wrapped around her. Perhaps due to fear, her shoulders shuddered slightly. She gave off an air of tenderness that would make one feel pity for her.

Shi Che’s heart was slightly moved by this sight. A tinge of warmth appeared in his dark and gloomy eyes. His tone was cold as usual, but hid an inconspicuous tremble as he asked, “Do you want a child, or does mum want a child?”

Shi Che’s words startled Ling Chuxia. She had not noticed Shi Che’s change in tone. She merely felt that his question was rather peculiar.

Her eyebrows frowned slightly. Her big eyes communicated confusion. As she looked towards Shi Che, she asked bewilderedly, “Is there any difference?”

Whether it was Mrs. Shi or her personal desire, the result is still that she would get pregnant. What was the distinction?

However, after the question was asked, Ling Chuxia noticed Shi Che’s emotionless face quickly turning dark. It was like a sudden thunderstorm that left those out in the open unprepared.

For the weather to turn from overcast to stormy would only take an instant.

Shi Che grinned slightly in a cold fashion. His eyes started to flare up with expression. His voice was as quiet as a feather breezing past the ear, yet intimidating despite its softness.

“You really are doing everything possible to complete mum’s homework. What a willing puppet you are. Hmm, I correct myself. You cannot even be called a puppet. You are simply a tool.”
