He looked at Shi Che, who was standing quietly there. The light slanted across his body, as if outlining him with a halo, making him appear indistinct, as if set apart from the crowd by a thread of loneliness.
In his view, the young master hailed from a noble family, his manners elegant. Having ascended to a high position in his youth and married a beautiful and virtuous Young Madam, he essentially possessed success in business and a fulfilling marriage. He had acquired all the most beautiful things in life, logically he ought to be happy, cheerful each day, and radiantly content.
However, over these years, he seemed to have rarely seen the young master smile, nor seen him happy, growing increasingly aloof and indifferent.
If, it was said that Shi Che was unhappy because he was dissatisfied with this marriage and did not care for the Young Madam, it would be understandable.
But... he did not believe that the young master was dissatisfied with this marriage, because... at the onset of their marriage, in the early days just after the wedding, their relationship was intimate and loving.
At that time, the young master had just taken over the company, needing to familiarize himself with, handle, and adapt to many things, with his days filled with an abundance of paperwork, leaving no extra time.
Yet, even so, no matter how late the young master handled business affairs, he would always return home to accompany the Young Madam, even if just for a few hours. He would come back to see her, and even under those circumstances, he could finish everything in advance and carve out time for a honeymoon trip.
At that time, they were indeed a perfect match, handsome and beautiful together, pleasing to the eyes.
Old Zhu remembered, that was when the young master laughed most and was the happiest.
But how did the two of them... suddenly become ?
Shi Che now had much more time than before, yet he would rather stay late at the company, prefer driving around the city every night, choose to go to bars and social gatherings daily, instead of going home.
Clearly, every time he went on a business trip, he habitually wandered through the streets and alleys, searching for little crafts that the Young Madam liked, selected gifts for her, had them carefully wrapped, and took them back from miles away, yet each time, he never handed them to her.
Every time he watched Shi Che staring at Ling Chuxia, there was certainly affection in his eyes, but every time when the Young Madam turned around, he greeted her with harsh words and cold indifference.
He really did not understand how two people, who were once well-matched, ended up .
Clearly, everything was fine before the honeymoon.
It had been some time, and Old Zhu couldn’t quite remember clearly, but it seemed like their relationship began to cool drastically after coming back from the honeymoon, subsequently evolving bit by bit into the situation it was today.
What the reason was, he didn’t know, only that it was inevitably a bit regretful.
Shi Che seemed not to hear Old Zhu’s words, walked toward the car, opened the rear door, sat inside, and spoke faintly, "Drive."
