Ling Chuxia originally wanted to ask, was it because of elder sister? But as the words reached her lips, a past scene suddenly flashed across her mind. At that time, she had mentioned elder sister in front of Shi Che once, and as a result, Shi Che suddenly lost his temper and mercilessly left her on a remote road, then drove away quickly.
The fear and helplessness she felt back then caused her to involuntarily shiver at the memory now.
Although she didn’t know why Shi Che got so angry when she mentioned elder sister, she thought... perhaps Shi Che didn’t want her to mention elder sister, or perhaps he felt she was unworthy of mentioning her.
After all, if it wasn’t for her, they wouldn’t have separated, one marrying someone else, one forced to stay far away.
At that moment, the word "elder sister" she was about to say was forcefully swallowed back by Ling Chuxia, and stiffly turned into, "I... I don’t know."
I don’t know? She doesn’t know?
These few words sounded like a huge mockery, a massive joke.
Shi Che glared at Ling Chuxia with his dark eyes, the chill spreading across his body growing denser. Ling Chuxia dared not meet Shi Che’s gaze, but her body still involuntarily trembled slightly.
Shi Che watched her for a long time, suddenly hooked his lips into a cold smile, nodded at her, and his voice was extremely cold, "You don’t know, you don’t know..."
Yes, she didn’t know.
She had never taken his feelings, his confessions to heart; of course, she didn’t know.
He muttered this phrase, a hint of faint light seemed to shade his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He chuckled a few times, withdrew his gaze, and didn’t say another word. Instead, he started the engine and stepped on the accelerator, the car suddenly speeding off.
The sudden driving startled Ling Chuxia. She turned her head slightly and saw Shi Che’s handsome face look frighteningly gloomy, enveloped in a surge of hostility. Her heart trembled fiercely, not daring to speak again, only instinctively clutching the handle of the car.
The car’s speed soared, Ling Chuxia’s complexion turned slightly pale, her teeth tightly biting her lower lip.
She didn’t understand, she hadn’t answered about elder sister just now, so why was Shi Che still angry? It seemed that sometimes, no matter what she said or what she did, however cautiously, it was all wrong.
Ling Chuxia lowered her eyes, feeling utterly dejected.
All night long, Shi Che had a gloomy expression, his whole body exuding extreme coldness, making people instinctively keep their distance. Sister Hua was very tactful and had returned to her room early. However, since she and Shi Che shared a room, there was no avoiding him. Ling Chuxia could only try to minimize her presence as much as possible, staying quietly.
When it was time to go to bed, her movements were very light. She picked up the blanket, lay down, and was so quiet she barely made a sound. But when she lay down, Shi Che still seemed to give her a cold glance, startling Ling Chuxia into freezing her movement, and she immediately closed her eyes.
She thought, as long as she could fall asleep, it would be okay.
In the preceding period, she had almost every night fallen asleep in Shi Che’s arms. Initially, she was not used to it, but his embrace was warm, his arms strong and forceful, encircling her so dominantly that she couldn’t escape, and eventually, she could only let him hold her.
But now, Shi Che was no longer holding her, and she should have felt at ease as before, able to fall asleep quickly. But for some reason, even though she had her eyes closed for quite a while, there was no sleepiness at all, and she still felt uncomfortable in her posture.
