The Contract Marriage by Winter Love

Chapter 373: Chapter 372 Let’s Get a Divorce (4)

It was ten past eight, and Ling Chuxia had yet to appear, which led Shi Che to check his watch again. Ling Chuxia had called him in the afternoon to say she would leave at five o’clock, and by this time, she should have arrived—so why hadn’t she?

Shi Che’s brow furrowed slightly as he pondered whether to call Ling Chuxia.

He pulled out his phone, swiped the screen to unlock it, and was about to dial Ling Chuxia’s number. However, the very moment he was about to press the call button, his finger hesitated.

Would he come across as too eager?

Perhaps Chuxia was just stuck in traffic, and that’s why she was a bit late?

As he hesitated, his phone suddenly rang. Shi Che glanced at the screen, saw that it was Ling Chuxia calling, and his frown instantly smoothed out. A hint of a smile curled up on his lips, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly pressed the answer button.

"Chuxia," Shi Che uttered softly, his voice laced with gentleness.

However, instead of Ling Chuxia’s familiar voice, a strange woman spoke politely on the other end, "Hello, may I ask what your relationship is with Ling Chuxia?"
