CHAPTER 760: CHAPTER 759: LET’S HAVE A CHILD (9)

Shi Che had indeed gone on a business trip, although the place was not far away, but because he had a dinner party in the evening, he could only return the next morning. That afternoon, he called Ling Chuxia’s mobile phone, but she didn’t answer; he called back to the villa, still no answer, so he finally called Old Zhu and found out that his mother had summoned her back to the family estate.

His mother had always had an issue with Ling Chuxia, summoning her back to the estate was never a good thing, how could he tolerate Ling Chuxia being wronged? Thus, he had Xiao Zhao attend the dinner party on his behalf, and he himself took the earliest flight back, heading straight to the family estate upon landing.

Of course, he didn’t explain all this, simply replying casually, "Work ended early."

Ling Chuxia stared at his profile, serene and handsome. The neon lights from outside the car window shone on his face, making his features even more striking.

Ling Chuxia watched, slightly mesmerized. Yet, hearing his words, her dark eyes rolled playfully, and with a teasing lilt in her voice she asked, "Did work really end early? Or did you come back specially to save me?"

Ling Chuxia’s smile grew even sweeter, her eyes curving like crescent moons, more beautiful than the waxing moon above.

Shi Che glanced at her again unconsciously, looking at her triumphant smile, then spoke again, "However, I’m starting to regret rescuing you."

Ling Chuxia didn’t expect Shi Che would say he regretted rescuing her, and her big, dark eyes widened in shock.

Shi Che chuckled lightly, continuing, "Mom called for you today, not to trouble you, but to ask you to..." Here, his voice unconsciously paused, his gaze swept over Ling Chuxia’s flat belly, before he went on, "have a child. This time, I fully agree with mom’s decision."

Because Shi Che was driving and needed to pay attention to the road, he didn’t see the change in Ling Chuxia’s expression. His deep voice still sounded, "Chuxia, after we get married, let’s have a child quickly."

Actually, he really liked children. Those three years, if not for all the misunderstandings between him and Ling Chuxia, perhaps they would have already had children, and the child they had before... If it were still here, it would almost be due.

Thinking of the unborn child, Shi Che’s heart sank slightly, but he quickly suppressed the feeling. It didn’t matter, he and Chuxia still had many opportunities; they would eventually have many children.

Thinking this, a slight glimmer of light sparked in his dark eyes, a smile graced his lips, and his voice brimmed with gentleness, "No, not just one. We should have many, the more the better."

With every word Shi Che said, Ling Chuxia’s heart clenched a little tighter, and by the time he finished, her whole heart was gripped fiercely, her hands unconsciously clenched.

Did Shi Che want... lots and lots of children?

But wasn’t he, in the past, unwilling to have children?

Ling Chuxia bit her lower lip tightly, striving to keep her voice steady, trying to smile as she said, "Shi Che, didn’t you dislike children before?"

He had done so many things in the past just to prevent her from getting pregnant.

"How could I dislike them?" Shi Che answered as if it was the most natural thing, "That was because... we had misunderstandings between us, but now it’s different."

Shi Che seemed to think of something, his eyes softening instantly, his voice becoming tenderer, "Chuxia, I want your child, our child."
