Ling Chuxia bit her lower lip gently, took a deep breath, and holding back her fear, she softly began, "What, what’s wrong?"
But even with her restraint, her voice still trembled as she spoke somewhat falteringly.
Shi Che acted as if he hadn’t heard her speak, his black pupils fixedly staring at the pill box, his gaze so intense it was as though he was trying to bore a hole right through it.
Standing to the side, although Shi Che wasn’t looking at her, Chuxia felt as if she was being fiercely scrutinized by him, her body involuntarily starting to shiver.
She swallowed hard, still managing to take a few difficult steps forward, stopping just a step away from Shi Che. Her voice grew softer, "Young Master... what’s wrong?" As she spoke, her hand tremulously reached out and tentatively rested on Shi Che’s arm.
When her hand touched Shi Che’s arm, he finally reacted, his black pupils shifting, his gaze moving slowly from the pill box to her face.
The moment their eyes met, Chuxia’s body uncontrollably shuddered violently.
In the depths of his dark brown eyes, it seemed as though he was ensnaring vast expanses of darkness, one glance could make a person feel as though they were being sucked straight into an abyss with no hope of return.
Chuxia dared not look into his eyes, quickly lowering her hand, subconsciously retracting it to rest in front of her, her hands twisting together tightly.
Shi Che’s lips curled up in a smirk, letting out a light laugh, but that laugh made Chuxia’s heart tremble fiercely. She had a vague idea of what was coming, but she did not even dare to think about it.
Observing Chuxia standing there, even with immense effort to control herself, her whole body was still shaking violently, her head bowed, he couldn’t clearly see her expression, but the curve of his lips deepened, his eyes brimming with heavy scorn.
When she was scheming against him, why wasn’t she afraid?
Shi Che opened the pill box in his hands, pulled out a pill, pinching it, his voice deep and casual, "What is this?"
Chuxia took a deep breath, her fingers unconsciously pinching the back of her own hand, forcing herself to remain calm, "Contraceptive Pills."
She didn’t know whether Shi Che really knew something or was just suspecting, just probing, so until the very last moment, she could not possibly confess, she had to keep denying vehemently.
Listening to her words, Shi Che paused, then let out a cold chuckle, "Contraceptive Pills? Fine, then you tell me, what is this?"
His words lingered, and he took another pill box out of his pocket and smashed it in front of Chuxia with force; the box hit the ground, with a light sound.
Yet upon seeing the pill box marked with the word "Vitamins," Chuxia’s entire face turned pale in an instant, completely frozen on the spot.
She had been searching for this pill box all along and had suspected that it might have been taken by Shi Che, but she hadn’t found it; she initially thought Shi Che hadn’t picked it up, it turned out, one really shouldn’t harbor any hope for luck, because you never know when disaster will strike in your hopeful moment.
Chuxia’s eyes widened as she stared fixedly at the pill box on the floor, wanting to explain something, but her throat felt as though it was blocked by something, and despite her efforts to speak, no words came out.
