Chapter 44 Don’t Hear the Old People Cry (14)
Shi Che’s departure lasted another half a month without him coming home.
This time, Ling Chuxia dared not call him to ask when he would return home. Every time she thought of his furious demeanor that night, a chill would run through her heart.
The only good thing was that, possibly because Shi Che had visited the old house once, Mrs. Shi hadn’t summoned her back to the old house for a talking-to every so often like she used to. Ling Chuxia could at least breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Ling Chuxia’s life wasn’t much different from that of an ordinary wealthy wife. She didn’t have a job and didn’t need to go to work. Her daily task was to take good care of her husband, but this husband... didn’t come home for years at a time. Even if she wanted to serve him, she couldn’t, so her days became leisurely. Luckily, she was the kind of person who enjoyed quietness, so she didn’t feel too bored.
Liang City had been particularly rainy during this time, pouring down for entire days, those violently raging rains that were extremely annoying. Today, however, was a rare clear day.
The sun hung high in the sky. The sunlight wasn’t as scorching as before, when it seemed like it might burn people; today’s sun was especially gentle, giving people a warm feeling.
