Chapter 12 No Such Preference (2)
Ling Chuxia felt her body rapidly stiffen, uncontrollably trembling violently. Her hands instinctively clenched the sheets beneath her, restraining her desire to flee.
She forced a smile at Shi Che as best as she could, even though she knew that her smile at this moment was surely more unsightly than crying. Yet she still managed to maintain it, her voice as weak as a mosquito's, "You... you woke up... ah!"
Ling Chuxia hadn't finished speaking when a sudden cry of pain erupted. Shi Che's large hand struck straight at her, his five fingers forcefully pinching her cheeks. The dark brown pupils revealed a gloomy ferocity, chilling to the bone.
His lips curled slightly, and his deep voice remained as charming as ever, yet it sent a chill from head to toe.
"Ling Chuxia, are you addicted to seducing men?"
Ling Chuxia felt a sharp pain in the bones of her cheeks, as if they were about to be crushed in the next second. It hurt so much that cold sweat appeared on her forehead, yet she dared not speak to ask Shi Che to release her.
It was as if she hadn't heard Shi Che's vicious ridicule. Years of upbringing made her instinctively apologize. Her voice trembled with a tone of fear, "I'm sorry, Young Master, it was my fault for waking you up."
Shi Che's pupils contracted suddenly at this moment. He stared intensely at Ling Chuxia, his thin lips tightly pressed, and his grip unconsciously intensified.
Ling Chuxia's face twisted in pain, yet she still maintained that apologetic expression. Even though her hands almost tore the sheets beneath her, she didn't ask him to let go or utter a single word of pleading.
