1 Child Bride（1）

After an intense session of lovemaking, Ling Chuxia had exhausted almost all her energy. She lay feebly on the bed, too tired to even move a finger.

The man beside her lifted the blanket and stood up, walking straight to the bathroom.

Ling Chuxia listened as the man's steady footsteps moved further and further away until the sound disappeared in the bathroom. It did not matter that her eyelids seemed to stick to her eyes; she had to bear with it and open her vision bit by bit.

With the bathroom door closed, the faint sound of gushing water could still be heard from outside the bathroom.

After confirming that the man had started his shower, Ling Chuxia took a deep breath and ground her teeth. With great effort, she propped herself up with her hands and finally got into a sitting position.

She had not forgotten her mission. It was not yet time to relax or rest.

Ling Chuxia got into her pajamas haphazardly and off the bed. She found a spot against the wall and placed her hands on the floor. With a flip of her body, she stood on her head with her hands exerting great strength to support her weight, while her legs tilted back to rest against the wall.

They had been married for a long time, but Shi Che had almost always worn a condom when engaging in such acts with her. On the rare occasion when he had not, it would have been during her safe period. Thus, she had not become pregnant despite three years of marriage.

She was not clamoring for a child herself, and in fact, did not want a child at all. But even if she were not, others would be such as Mrs. Shi (Shi Che's mother and her mother-in-law).

She was in no position to go against Mrs. Shi and could only grab the opportunity as it came.

Some have said that women can increase the speed of sperm movement by standing on their heads after the deed to increase the chances of pregnancy. She did not know whether such a method was effective, but neither did she care. She had to try it anyway.

Devoid of energy and uncomfortable from the sweat all over her, Ling Chuxia could only support her weight with her strong will. Not even an ounce of her attention was placed anywhere else, such that she only noticed Shi Che after he had left the bathroom and stood in front of her.

She peered upwards and her vision met Shi Che's dark brown eyes inadvertently.

The air was struck with silence as the pair of dark brown eyes fixed on her. Ling Chuxia felt a wave of dread hit her without even realizing it. Her hands became jelly from the shock and she fell to the ground. She seemed to feel her head hit something and gasped in response to the pain.

"What are you doing?"

Shi Che reacted as if he had not seen her fall, merely questioning her peculiar stunt leisurely.

Ling Chuxia's nervousness was quickly relieved and even the pain seemed to be gone.

Shi Che never liked her and naturally did not want to have a child with her. This was why he always wore a condom when they were making love.

How could she then tell him that it was because she wanted to get pregnant?

Ling Chuxia racked her brains to come up with a vague excuse. She took a deep swallow of saliva, silently crafted her response, and was just about to speak.

Shi Che seemed to have read her mind and spoke first. "I didn't wear protection just now."

Ling Chuxia's heart sank in an instant.

Sure enough, Shi Che immediately headed for the bedside table and pulled the lower drawer. He took out a small box and threw it in front of her.

Ling Chuxia turned pale. She knew what it was but still could not help but ask, "What is that?"

Shi Che arrogantly gave a cold grin and replied letter by letter, "ECP1."
