Chapter 244 - 243: Only Two Months Left (9)
Ji Xinxin had recently been pressured by Mother Ji into marriage, and it had her utterly frustrated. With nowhere to vent her irritation and melancholy, she called up Ling Chuxia to go out for afternoon tea to ramble about her myriad of messy problems.
However, no matter how long she spoke, Ling Chuxia zoned out just as long, infuriating Ji Xinxin to the point where she almost wanted to spray her coffee at her. Slamming her coffee down hard, she glared at Ling Chuxia, "Xiaxia, are you even listening to me?"
Ling Chuxia, still puzzled from last night’s events, couldn’t detach herself from her thoughts—not even Ji Xinxin’s shouting could. She just lazily lifted her eyes and responded, "Oh," indicating she was listening.
Her attitude finally enraged Ji Xinxin, who reached out and rudely turned her face towards her, staring intently into Ling Chuxia’s blank eyes and shouted, "Ling Chuxia, what on earth are you thinking about!"
Ji Xinxin’s brusque action finally brought Ling Chuxia back to reality. She blinked her big eyes in confusion and mumbled, "What’s up?"
Ji Xinxin stared at Ling Chuxia, her brows furrowing deeply, "I should be asking you what’s up? Weren’t you and Shi Che supposed to have made up? What else is bothering you?"
Ji Xinxin didn’t even need to ask to know that anything causing Ling Chuxia such distress and distraction had to be linked to Shi Che.
Ling Chuxia looked at Ji Xinxin, slightly lowered her gaze, lifted her coffee, and took a sip. The bitterness was intense enough to wake her mind significantly.
