Chapter 30 No Such Preference (20)
Ling Chuxia stood still in a daze for a long moment until the honking of a car brought her back to reality.
It turned out she was standing in the middle of the road, blocking the car’s path. She quickly stepped back several paces to the side of the road to let the car pass.
It was around three or four in the afternoon, the time when the sun was at its fiercest. The summers in Liang City were always hot and dry, and now the sun hung high in the sky, scorching the earth with its rays.
Ling Chuxia slightly raised her head to gaze at the horizon. The sunlight pierced into her pupils, making her squint in discomfort. She raised her hand to block the sun, and unexpectedly, touched something wet. She paused, wiped the corner of her eye, and found her hand wet.
In those three years of marriage, Ling Chuxia wasn’t entirely unaffected by Shi Che’s harsh words, after all, she was a human, not a machine.
Moreover, before they got married and even in the first few months afterward, Shi Che had always treated her quite well.
Shi Che’s sudden coldness and violent outbursts had hurt her. The first time Shi Che lost his temper with her, she locked herself in her room and sobbed uncontrollably.
During that period, she didn’t know how she managed to endure it. She only knew that she wanted to be a good wife to Shi Che and hold on to her position as his wife, thinking it was her duty to endure all that Shi Che threw at her, even his violent temper.
