But she couldn’t go to the United States now, and she didn’t want to... Ling Chuxia closed her eyes, her finger twitched, and she directly pressed the reject call button.
Her eyes stared at the phone screen for a while, her finger moved again, and she opened up messages, typing out a text quickly. In the end, as if she had made up her mind, she pressed send.
Once sent, she turned off her phone immediately, took out the SIM card, rolled down the car window, and threw it out with all her might.
Ling Yunshu, after hearing what Xiao Chen had said, was completely shocked. Ling Chuxia had clearly promised to go to the United States, and now she was nowhere to be seen? Impossible. Chuxia felt guilty towards her, and she had pleaded so much with her the day before. With her soft heart towards her, Chuxia would never break her promise... Could it be that she really intended to stay and be a thorn in her side?
Ling Yunshu’s gaze became completely stern. Just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly chimed. She told Xiao Chen to wait, hung up the call, and then looked at her phone—a new message had appeared from Ling Chuxia.
Ling Yunshu’s expression turned icy, and she immediately opened it.
"Elder sister, I’m sorry, but I can’t go to the United States. Don’t worry, the things you’re concerned about won’t happen. I... wish you and President Shi happiness."
Ling Yunshu’s hand started shaking violently. Ling Chuxia... she actually didn’t want to go to the United States.
If President Shi didn’t have feelings for her, or if his feelings weren’t that deep, she wouldn’t mind having Ling Chuxia around—after all, she was still her younger sister, and she didn’t want to send her off to somewhere so far. But... President Shi loved her too much. His feelings for her caused her immense fear. She was constantly worried that if the misunderstanding between President Shi and Ling Chuxia was cleared, their old love might rekindle, and then she would have no chance at all. That’s why she had to send Chuxia far away and keep control of her itinerary. Only then could she eliminate any possibility of their love being rekindled.
But now, Ling Chuxia wanted to break free from her control. How could she allow it?
Ling Yunshu quickly dialed Ling Chuxia’s number, but the line was already switched off. She was so angry that she almost smashed her phone. In the end, she couldn’t help herself and hurriedly called Xiao Chen. As soon as the call connected, she said, "Find Ling Chuxia for me. I don’t care how you do it, but you must send her to the United States!"
Xiao Zhao hurriedly ran to the villa, accessed last night’s surveillance at the front gate, and spent several hours staring at the screen, until finally, he saw Ling Chuxia leave the villa.
He glanced at the time displayed at the bottom of the screen—it was past ten o’clock at night. He quickly took out his phone and dialed President Shi’s number.
The phone rang a few times and then connected. President Shi’s voice was as deep as ever, slightly hoarse, with a barely noticeable sense of anticipation, "When did Chuxia leave?"
Xiao Zhao took a deep breath before responding, "President Shi, the Young Madam left after ten at night. She was picked up by Miss Ji Xinxin."
Xiao Zhao’s words, one by one, reached President Shi’s ears. President Shi’s grip on his phone nearly slipped.
His dark pupils dilated, the black irises suddenly contracting. In his chest, something surged forth, spreading rapidly through his body.
Chuxia... had really waited for him, and she had waited for over ten hours...
