Chapter 118 To Pounce or Not to Pounce (4)
Ling Chuxia’s evening gown was already thin, and a large part of her back was exposed, so when the chilly breeze blew, she unconsciously shivered, goosebumps rising on her arms.
Ling Chuxia instinctively wrapped her arms around herself, rubbing her arms with a little force, and even gently stamped her feet in place.
After retrieving his car, Shi Che drove past the hotel entrance and happened to see Ling Chuxia like this. His gaze was dark and undisturbed, but his hands unconsciously tightened on the steering wheel. Then, he forced himself to look away and pressed the accelerator, speeding past.
The Aston Martin was too eye-catching as it passed by her, and of course, Chuxia saw it too. With a quick glance, she only saw Shi Che’s usual expressionless face, not even flicking his eyes in her direction.
For some reason, Chuxia felt a slight suffocation in her heart. She lowered her head and then laughed at herself mockingly. Just moments before, she had actually entertained the thought that maybe Shi Che would give her a ride on the way.
That she could harbor such thoughts, Chuxia found increasingly laughable on reflection. The corners of her lips turned up, yet it was a feeble smile.
