Chapter 6: The So-Called Child Bride (6)
Although the two were already an intimately connected couple, Ling Chuxia never dared to look at Shi Che more than necessary. At such times, she mostly closed her eyes and silently endured, so she had never seen his physique so clearly before. The visual impact was too overwhelming, causing Ling Chuxia to choke a bit, her speech slightly stammering, "The, the bath water is... is ready."
Her words came out haltingly, almost biting her own tongue.
Shi Che didn't even glance at her, his eyes unwavering and expressionless as he walked into the bathroom.

As Shi Che walked away, Ling Chuxia felt the pressure, as if a great mountain, quickly recede. Previously, she had been holding her breath with her heart suspended, but now she could let out a deep sigh of relief.
She looked at the clothes Shi Che had thrown down, scattered on the floor, and slowly squatted down to pick them up one by one.
Shi Che didn't like clutter and demanded that the surroundings be clean and tidy, though he might be the one causing the mess. So she always followed right behind him to tidy up, ensuring that when he turned back, everything was clean and orderly.
While cleaning, Ling Chuxia couldn't help but think. Shi Che had previously flown into such a rage, not returning home for several months, with no news. When she tried to contact him by phone, it was either ruthlessly hung up or unanswered. Now... he suddenly came back... did it mean his anger had subsided?
If it had subsided, it couldn't be better. If it hadn't... Ling Chuxia couldn't help but frown lightly and sighed softly.
