Chapter 267 - 266 Where Did He/She Go? (2)
Ling Chuxia had slept hazily last night, but her mind was all about stealing that thing. As they say, "what you think about in the day, you dream of at night." Then, she had nightmares all night long, dreaming that every time she was about to get her hands on that thing, she would always be one step short and never manage to get it. Two months later, upon Mrs. Shi’s command, she would have to divorce Shi Che and be kicked out of the Shi Family, unable to fulfill the promise she made to her elder sister.
The nightmare continued until at last, she woke up in fright, her mind still foggy. She reflexively got out of bed and stared at the trash can, ready to reach out for the "thing."
However, before her hand could lift, Shi Che’s deep voice suddenly came from behind her. Ling Chuxia, hearing his voice, felt like a thief who hears the homeowner returning, her body shuddered, and she froze in place.
Shi... Shi Che?
It took a good while for Ling Chuxia’s dazed mind to process Shi Che’s name, then my whole heart trembled.
Oh no, how could she have forgotten about Shi Che?
Ling Chuxia clenched her fists tightly, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried her best to smooth the panic off her face, forcibly curving her lips into a smile. Then she slowly turned around and greeted Shi Che with a smile, her voice soft, "Young Master, good morning."
Shi Che’s dark eyes lightly rested on her face, the morning light slanting in and illuminating half of her visage. The freshly woken up Chuxia, still fuzzy with sleepiness, looked like a confused child with her un-made-up face.
