Chapter 27 No Such Preference (17)
In truth, she understood in her heart why Shi Che treated her this way.
It was because Shi Che had always liked her elder sister, but in the end, he had no choice but to marry her, which led to Madam having to send her elder sister far away.
So now she couldn’t understand why Madam had relented, suggesting to let her elder sister return and replace her, but he refused?
Just now, when she heard him say the word "needless," Ling Chuxia’s first reaction was that she must have heard it wrong.
However, Shi Che had indeed said those words, and he had refused Mrs. Shi’s proposal.
Even now, Ling Chuxia still couldn’t process it, her mind felt like it was tangled in thousands of threads, and no matter how she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it.
Ling Chuxia just looked at Shi Che like this, gradually becoming dazed. When she snapped back to reality, Shi Che was already looking at her, his expression indifferent, his gaze dark, with his black-brown eyes staring steadily at her. There wasn’t the slightest warmth in that gaze.
Ling Chuxia’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn’t know how to place her hands and feet, and only instinctively squeezed out a smile, that well-rehearsed and perfectly appropriate smile.
Shi Che stared at her smiling face, the standard eight-tooth smile, which could be called the most perfect smile. She executed it to perfection, making her delicate face appear even more charming.
