Chapter 21 No Such Preference (11)
Listening to Mrs. Shi say this, he slightly lifted his eyes and looked at her, then slowly opened his lips, his voice gentle, "Mom, I’m not a kid anymore, I’m doing quite well living outside."
In this simple sentence, although he didn’t say anything for Ling Chuxia, it indirectly helped her out of some difficulties, and Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but glance at Shi Che.
Mrs. Shi complained with dissatisfaction, "Yes, you’re living well, so much that you forget about coming back to see me, leaving this old woman at home alone."
"Didn’t I just come back now?"
Shi Che’s voice remained calm, without any sweet words, yet it was enough to make Mrs. Shi smile, her eyes crinkling at the corners, making her appear like a completely different person compared to the imposing presence she had just now.
"Alright, since you rarely come home, I must have the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes and give you a good treat."
After Mrs. Shi spoke, she glanced at Ling Chuxia, who immediately understood, "Madam, I’ll go instruct the kitchen."
Mrs. Shi nodded, and Ling Chuxia stood up, retreated two steps slightly, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Shi Che’s gaze subtly followed Ling Chuxia, watching her tense back fade into the distance.
