Chapter 294 - 293: Another Reminder (19)
Shi Che had just come out of the bathroom when Ling Chuxia had straightened out her disheveled clothes and was sitting quietly by the bed.
While drying his wet hair, Shi Che stepped out, and Ling Chuxia, out of habit, stood up and followed him to the couch. Once he sat down, she took the towel from Shi Che and began to dry his hair for him.
Shi Che glanced at her but said nothing.
As Chuxia dried his hair, she stealthily observed Shi Che’s expression. Seeing his indifferent expression, though there was still a slight frown between his brows, she couldn’t discern any sign of anger. She thought about the earlier phone call from Mrs. Shi, gathered her words, and then spoke, "Young Master... Madam asked us to come home for a meal tomorrow."
Mrs. Shi had called her earlier. Chuxia thought she was calling to inquire about their progress, but unexpectedly, she was merely instructing her to bring Shi Che back for a meal.
This task seemed simple, but it was actually quite challenging. After getting married, Shi Che rarely visited his family home, and even though Mrs. Shi mentioned it all the time, he showed little response.
As expected, as soon as she mentioned it, Shi Che’s brow furrowed slightly, and Chuxia’s heart fluttered with apprehension, knowing that this task would not be so easy.
Yet, she had to bring Shi Che home tomorrow, because she could somewhat guess the meaning behind Mrs. Shi’s call at this time. It was simply to see how their relationship had progressed recently.
She needed to show Mrs. Shi that her relationship with Shi Che had improved significantly, so that after a week, when the results came out, if she was indeed so unfortunate as to fail, she could still plead their case with Mrs. Shi.
She took a deep breath, preparing to continue persuading him, but Shi Che spoke first, his tone indifferent, "Okay."
Chuxia had a whole set of arguments ready, but they were suddenly stuck in her throat. Her eyes widened slightly, staring at Shi Che in disbelief.
