Zheng Rourou was so furious her chest heaved violently, and her face turned beet red, unable to retort even a single word.
Ling Chuxia stood there calmly, watching her as if she had all the patience in the world. Zheng Rourou didn’t want to appear weak, but Ling Chuxia’s aura was too overpowering, instantly suppressing her. Plus, with Shi Che’s current attitude towards her, even if she wanted to stay tough, she couldn’t. Tears welled up in Zheng Rourou’s eyes, and with trembling hands, she lifted a hand and lightly fanned it towards her face. Although she called it a fan, it was really just a gentle touch.
Ling Chuxia frowned in dissatisfaction, "Do you want me to do it for you?"
Zheng Rourou clenched her fists, then forcefully slapped herself across the face, making a loud smack, which brought tears to her eyes.
Ling Chuxia shook her head involuntarily and blinked her innocent eyes, "Um... there’s really no need to be so forceful."
Hearing this, Zheng Rourou, not knowing if she was more angry or wronged, collapsed on the ground and cried loudly.
Ling Chuxia curled her lips, went to the sink to wash her hands, and then pulled out a piece of tissue. As she was leaving, she even kindly asked, "Do you need a tissue?"
Zheng Rourou lay on the ground, crying even louder...
When Ling Chuxia came out, Shi Che had already been waiting at the door for quite a while. A subtle frown creased his forehead, and a trace of concern lingered in his eyes. He was about to go in to look for Ling Chuxia when she emerged. He glimpsed her triumphant smile with her lips curled up, her face exuding an air of victory, which made him raise an eyebrow.
How could a trip to the restroom change her mood to this?
However, the moment Ling Chuxia walked up beside him, she immediately reverted to her usual reserved and somewhat dull expression. Shi Che’s dark eyes deepened all at once, and the question he was about to ask was swallowed back down.
The two drove home together.
Because she had given Zheng Rourou a lesson, Ling Chuxia was in a great mood, significantly more relaxed, even humming a tune while she showered.
Shi Che, on the other hand, became increasingly gloomy. Seeing Zheng Rourou today—despite knowing that his relationship with Zheng Rourou wasn’t so ’simple’—Chuxia remained silent, indifferent. And now, she was even in a good mood?
Could she really not mind at all that he had other women outside?
The happier Ling Chuxia became, the darker Shi Che’s mood grew. As soon as Ling Chuxia stepped out of the bathroom, he pulled her over without a word and pushed her down onto the bed. Before Ling Chuxia could react, Shi Che roughly pulled off her nightgown and sealed her lips fiercely.
For days, Shi Che had been rather gentle, but now he suddenly turned rough again. Pain made Ling Chuxia gasp lightly, unable to hide her distress as she furrowed her brows sharply. Perhaps because she couldn’t let go of the day’s aggression against Zheng Rourou, when she felt the pain, she unexpectedly clawed at Shi Che’s hand.
Shi Che’s movements halted abruptly. Only then did Ling Chuxia realize what she had done, retracting her hand sharply, her large eyes shimmering with vulnerability.
As Shi Che watched her, his heart seemed to melt completely. He slowly bent down again, his actions gradually becoming gentle and tender.
On the nightstand beside the bed, Shi Che’s phone kept ringing, yet neither of them paid any attention to it. After ringing for a while, the call ended automatically. Five minutes later, the phone’s screen lit up once more, and a text message came through, sent by Xiao Zhao.
