The Contracted Wife: Boss, No Binding Contract - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Never Did He Care When She Cried (28)

Zheng Rourou was adept at taking full advantage of her position as a lady. She was well aware that if she were to fly off the handle at that moment, she would create an embarrassment for herself. She would rather let her man take care of the delicate situation for her.

If Shi Che were to fly into a rage for her and condemn Ji Xinxin, she would have salvaged her reputation and image.

Zheng Rourou immediately disguised her anger and fluttered her big eyes slowly. In a split second, her tears welled up and she looked towards Shi Che, she grievously beseeched, “Mr. Shi, look at her…”

Her pretty face was covered with tears. Her eyes were delicate and touching. Such helpless meekness implored one to cherish and care for her.

Ji Xinxin watched Zheng Rourou’s performance in reticence. She sneered as her stare was fixed on Shi Che. She had meant to watch how he would handle the situation.

Already in a foul and frustrated mood, Shi Che watched the events unfold with utter impatience. His brows were knotted. He threw Zheng Rourou a glance, and berated her in a stern tone, “Such intolerance and you dare to say that you wish to go into the show business?”

Shi Che’s words were quite mild, however, his sarcasm had bruised Zheng Rourou. She turned pale upon hearing him.

She had beamed with pride for being Shi Che’s companion. However, Shi Che had not reciprocated her. Despite Ji Xinxin having provoked her, in the end, she was mocked by Shi Che.

At that moment, Zheng Rourou really felt being wronged. Those crocodile tears had turned into real, sorrowful tears.

When she saw Shi Che’s sombreness and impatience, she swiftly held back her tears and lowered her eyes. She stayed closed to him and dared not whimper.

As Ji Xinxin watched on, she suddenly clapped gently and marveled, “Our Mr. Shi’s definitely a cruel soul when it comes to every lady. I’ve assumed that you only offer your lovely smiles to your new girlfriend and don’t care when your old girlfriend cries.”

Ji Xinxin had deliberately emphasized the two words “old girlfriend”.

Shi Che’s eyes became gloomy gradually. He was well aware of Ji Xinxin’s motivation to pick fault with him. As an outsider, she was enraged to see him with other women. However, the person who had the right to be indignant was so peaceful, as if… she was unaffected by emotions.

Ling Chuxia’s expression flashed through Shi Che’s mind. He felt cold and self-deprecating. That sensation generated a fierce aura around him.

Despite his inner turmoil, Shi Che was able to hold up his usual calmness and aloofness. He appeared as if nothing could stir his emotions.

He opened his thin lips and replied plainly, “Ms. Ji, thanks for your concern.”
