Chapter 290 - 289: Another Reminder (15)
Chuxia noticed a hint of confusion in her eyes. Could Shi Che be on the phone? She couldn’t help but step forward and gently push the door open.
Since her movement was very gentle, Shi Che didn’t notice it, and as he had his back to the door, he was unaware of Chuxia entering while he continued practicing his movements.
Chuxia stepped inside, intentionally treading lightly. Since his back was to her, she couldn’t see what Shi Che was doing or his expression, but his words slowly reached her ears, one by one.
"I, when I was on a business trip, saw a necklace that I thought would suit you well. I bought it for you."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed unsatisfied, muttering softly under his breath. Because his voice was quiet, Chuxia couldn’t make out what he said, but Shi Che quickly spoke again, "It’s not specifically bought, just bought casually. Here, it’s for you."
It was then that Chuxia realized Shi Che had bought a gift and wanted to give it to someone. Was he... practicing how to give it to someone?
Chuxia had never seen Shi Che so conflicted before. His usual style was to directly throw the gift in front of the person, maintaining a superior attitude as if saying, ’Take it if you want.’ This was his style, wasn’t it?
Why was he being so cautious?
So, who was this gift for? Could it be for Zheng Rourou? Somehow, thinking of Zheng Rourou gave her a slight sting in her heart, a bit of suffocation.
But then, the last time she encountered Zheng Rourou, Shi Che’s attitude toward her was awful. Since then, Shi Che had often come home, and there were no more rumors about him outside. It seemed unlikely he and Zheng Rourou were involved, so the gift probably wasn’t for her.
