Chuxia Ling’s brows furrowed slightly, "Elder sister, do you have somewhere to go?"
Ling Yunshu smiled gently, replying in a soft voice, "Yes, before I returned to the country, I booked a hotel apartment, and I will be staying there for now."
Having said that, she addressed the driver ahead, "Go to the Four Seasons Hotel."
She was beautiful, and every gesture she made was full of charm. With just that sentence spoken softly to the driver, the driver couldn’t help but feel his bones turn to jelly, and it took him several seconds to come to his senses before he nodded dimly.
Chuxia Ling saw this and just smiled faintly, but she did not speak. Instead, it was Ling Yunshu who, looking at her so quiet, felt somewhat surprised, "Xiaxia, it has been three years since we last saw each other, and you seem to have changed a lot."
If it had been before, she would have jumped up long ago, winked teasingly, and then said, "Elder sister, you are still so charming, everyone likes you, how are the rest of us women supposed to live!"
Chuxia Ling did not expect Ling Yunshu to say this and subconsciously lowered her eyes, "Really? Maybe I’ve matured. Didn’t you always say I was a wild monkey, never growing up?"
Hearing this from Chuxia Ling, Ling Yunshu couldn’t help but chuckle, "Indeed, you’ve matured to be able to say such a thing."
Chuxia Ling looked up and saw the faint smile on Ling Yunshu’s face, and her heart warmed up as well. Originally, before her elder sister returned, she had prepared a bellyful of words, wanting to talk to and confide in her elder sister, to tell her all about her grievances and sadness over the past three years.
But now, suddenly, she didn’t feel like saying anything.
She didn’t want her elder sister to know how she had struggled through these three years, nor did she want her to know about the things she had forced herself to do to please Shi Che, things she didn’t want to do.
Originally, she owed her elder sister all of this. She didn’t want her to feel sad, guilty, and remorseful.
After arriving at the hotel, Ling Yunshu completed the check-in procedures. Her room was on the twenty-third floor. A bellhop, carrying the luggage, led them to their room before respectfully retreating.
Chuxia Ling looked around, noting the refined environment and fully-equipped facilities, along with a balcony. Stepping out to stand on the balcony, she could see the deep blue sea, the view was excellent and the scenery beautiful. Her elder sister living here should be quite comfortable, and it was then that she finally felt at ease.
Ling Yunshu went into the bathroom to wash up and change clothes, while Chuxia Ling wheeled in her luggage and placed it aside. Then she picked up the electric kettle to boil water. Once the water boiled, she first rinsed the cups with hot water, then filled them with boiling water.
When Ling Yunshu came out, the water had cooled down slightly to the perfect temperature. As soon as she sat down, Chuxia Ling pushed a cup towards her and said softly, "Elder sister, have some water."
Chuxia Ling’s actions were so natural and habitual, as if she did this often. The Chuxia of the past, far from serving others, would have been doing well not to cause trouble. Now, however, she was as smooth and graceful as the moving clouds and flowing water... Ling Yunshu thought, a glint of light briefly flashing through the depths of her eyes, but she said nothing, just smiled and picked up the cup to take a sip.
After swallowing that mouthful of water, Ling Yunshu looked at Chuxia Ling, her beautiful eyes shimmering, and her voice still very gentle, yet she said, "Xiaxia, you and the young master are about to get divorced, aren’t you?"
Chuxia Ling, who had also been drinking water, had just taken a sip when she heard Ling Yunshu’s words. Somehow, she choked all of a sudden, her face turning beet red as she coughed incessantly.
