Chapter 253 - 252 Change (8)
Ling Chuxia had not expected Shi Che not only to not get angry but even to answer her questions and tell her he would be back soon?
Listening to Shi Che’s words, Ling Chuxia suddenly felt it was unreal.
She blankly raised her eyes to look at Shi Che, who also happened to be looking back at her. She collided with the depth of his dark pupils, which seemed to quietly reveal something.
Under his gaze, Ling Chuxia’s heart involuntarily started beating a little faster, yet it was not the fear and trepidation she once felt, but rather a shy timidity that made her reluctant to meet his eyes.
She couldn’t help but lower her gaze and gently bit her lower lip, slowly answering with a sound of assent. Then, after a moment’s thought, she softly spoke up, "Then... drink less and come back earlier."
Shi Che had also not expected Ling Chuxia to say those words to him. Over the years, she was his wife, but only a well-behaved, virtuous, and kind-hearted wife. She never showed concern for him nor asked about any of his affairs. Seemingly virtuous, in reality, she ignored everything about him, indifferent to him.
But when she softly uttered those words, even though they were no more than an ordinary expression of concern, they made his heart ripple fiercely.
Shi Che stared intently at Ling Chuxia, at her slightly blushed cheeks and the way she was gently biting her lip. Shi Che felt as if his heart was about to melt.
He didn’t know how much effort it took to restrain himself from kissing Ling Chuxia, forcibly shifting his gaze away and nodding stiffly, "Mhm."
Receiving Shi Che’s response, Ling Chuxia also felt a surge of joy in her heart, unable to hide the upward turn of her lips.
After changing his clothes, Shi Che left the house. Ling Chuxia stood in front of the window, watching Shi Che’s car slowly drive away from the villa before she turned around and lay back down on the bed.
