The condom finally came into her hands as she had wished, but it was such a pity that everything inside had already dried up. Ling Chuxia looked up at the clock, realizing that it was more than eight hours since they had finished last night...
At that moment, Ling Chuxia’s emotions were like a roller coaster ride. She had just reached the highest point and then suddenly, the coaster plummeted, causing her heart to throb intensely.
It was not excitement but disappointment.
She had finally, with much difficulty, gotten Shi Che to push her for a while. The opportunity had been right before her eyes... to miss it so cruelly, she truly felt her heart bleeding.
Ling Chuxia’s dark eyes stared hard at the condom in her hand but eventually let go of it weakly, letting it fall back into the trash can.
This time it didn’t work out. She could only look for another opportunity. Luckily, her relationship with Shi Che was showing initial results. Shi Che was also willing to touch her now. She would have another chance to get a condom, right?
Ling Chuxia slowly clenched her fists and bit her teeth hard.
In the following days, Shi Che indeed touched her more than before. At night, it was natural for them to do that sort of thing. However, stealing the condom wasn’t as easy as Ling Chuxia had imagined.
It was more like the nightmare she had that night. Every time she was about to get her hands on it, either Shi Che would suddenly roll over and embrace her, or she was simply unable to break free from his hug. She could only helplessly watch the condom that was so close yet felt so far away.
Time slipped away mercilessly, and another week passed in the blink of an eye. Ling Chuxia became more and more anxious with each day, unable to find a solution. She almost wanted to take a risk, considering knocking Shi Che out with a stick at night when suddenly, a turning point appeared.
That evening, Xiao Zhao gave Ling Chuxia a call, telling her to get ready for a dinner party that she had to attend with President Shi.
When Ling Chuxia received the call, she was unavoidably stunned.
President Shi often had social engagements and dinner parties, and as his wife, it was only natural for her to accompany him. When they had just gotten married, she frequently attended events with him. But since their honeymoon, after Shi Che had inexplicably lashed out at her in anger, he hadn’t asked her to attend any gatherings or social events. Instead, he would go with his secretary, or even... other women.
So when Xiao Zhao called, Ling Chuxia couldn’t quite react, staying stunned for a long time until Xiao Zhao’s voice came through again and again, "Young Madam? Young Madam? Are you still there? Young Madam?"
Ling Chuxia returned to her senses in a daze, her hand involuntarily gripping the phone tighter as she responded, "Yes, I’m here."
Xiao Zhao’s voice paused, then continued, "Then, Young Madam, please get ready. President Shi will probably pick you up in about an hour."
After hanging up, Ling Chuxia remained sitting on the sofa for a while, savoring the conversation to make sure that the call was real and not an illusion. Only then did she suddenly stand up and rush upstairs.
Shi Che was now willing to take her out to dinner parties again. Did that mean his disgust for her was gradually lessening? Was their relationship easing a bit?
Ling Chuxia thought about all this randomly. Even if she didn’t know whether it was really the case, she still couldn’t help but feel happy inside.
