Ling Chuxia's heart gave a violent tug, and a chill ran slightly down her spine. She had always felt that Shi Che's refusal to have children with her was due to his dislike of her, but she had never considered that Shi Che might want someone else to bear his child?
If... if Shi Che really fell for Zheng Rourou and was truly willing to let Zheng Rourou have his child, and once Zheng Rourou did have a child, then everything would change!
Given Mrs. Shi's strong desire for a grandson, if Zheng Rourou had a child, she wouldn't possibly reject it, and if Shi Che liked her, Mrs. Shi might not object for the sake of the child—after all, the Shi Family's status and wealth were high enough already, without the need for marrying into another wealthy, noble family to further embellish their status.
With this thought, Ling Chuxia shuddered violently, gradually feeling the cold creeping over her.
