Chapter 298 - 297 Do You Love Him? (3)
The words were neither too heavy nor too light, yet they were enough to shock everyone present. Mrs. Shi was so stunned that she even forgot her image, her mouth agape, completely frozen.
Shi Che didn’t look at her again. Instead, he reached out and grasped Ling Chuxia’s wrist. With one forceful tug, he pulled her to his side. Then, holding Ling Chuxia’s hand, he turned around and left without hesitation, striding away.
Ling Chuxia, too, was stunned by Shi Che’s actions and words. Her mind went blank, and she just let Shi Che hold her, moving only by instinct.
It wasn’t until the two had left the garden that Mrs. Shi suddenly came to her senses and shouted angrily at them, "Shi Che!"

With one hand over her head and the other on her shoulder, he pushed Ling Chuxia into the car and slammed the door shut. Then he walked around to the driver’s side, opened the door, got in, started the engine, and the car shot out like an arrow.
The entire process was smooth and decisive.
After driving for a while, Ling Chuxia slowly regained her senses from the extreme shock. Her mind was still blank, and she unconsciously turned her face to look at Shi Che.
He was as expressionless as always, his dark eyes calm. The light in his eyes was deep and inscrutable, revealing none of his emotions. His hand lay casually on the steering wheel; there was an added seriousness to his face as he drove.
Ling Chuxia’s gaze continued to move downward and landed on his slightly pursed lips. Her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
The words Shi Che said echoed again in her ears, "You agree, I don’t agree!"
