"Actually, she had already known all this deep down, but when she truly saw it, Ling Chuxia’s heart felt as if it had been torn in two, pain making her breathing difficult.
’I was wondering why you were here alone looking for your family. It seems Yun Shu is busy with her engagement,’ Bai Yixuan said in a lengthy monologue, unaware that Ling Chuxia hadn’t reacted at all. Concerned, he looked up to find Ling Chuxia’s face inexplicably pale and terrifying, her whole body trembling.
Bai Yixuan’s gaze sharpened, his heart suddenly trembling. He put down the newspaper, worry evident in his eyes, ’Xiaxia, what’s wrong?’
Ling Chuxia’s eyes stiffly moved and met Bai Yixuan’s. Seeing the worry in his eyes, she suddenly snapped back to reality and shook her head hurriedly, ’I... I’m fine.’
However, as she spoke, her hand unintentionally swept across the table, knocking over the hot porridge next to her. The hot porridge fell and splashed onto her foot, the steaming heat was burning hot. Her foot was instantly covered in scalding porridge, turning red.
Bai Yixuan was so frightened that he immediately stood up, scooped Ling Chuxia into his arms horizontally, and rushed towards the kitchen. Turning on the faucet, he held Ling Chuxia, letting the cold water run directly onto her foot.
’How could you be so careless? Xiaxia, does it hurt?’ Although Bai Yixuan’s words carried a hint of complaint, his heart ached even more. Seeing her fair foot swell and turn red, he almost wished the hot porridge had spilled on him instead.
When the hot porridge spilled on her foot, Ling Chuxia didn’t feel anything initially. Even now, though it hurt, it couldn’t compare to the pain in her heart.
Shi Che and elder sister were finally engaged. She should be smiling and wishing them happiness. Yes, she needed to smile and wish them happiness.
Ling Chuxia tried hard to curl the corners of her lips, forcibly pulling a smile on her face, but ultimately, she couldn’t squeeze out even a trace of a smile, her eyes gradually moistening.
Bai Yixuan initially just wanted to see if Ling Chuxia was feeling better, but unexpectedly, he saw such an expression on her face, and his expression involuntarily shook.
At a time , if he still believed Ling Chuxia when she said she was fine, then he was a fool.
But why would Xiaxia react this way to Yun Shu’s engagement? Weren’t the two sisters close since they were little?
Could it be... related to Shi Che? Bai Yixuan’s dark eyes narrowed, his gaze growing deeper.
Such explosive news naturally shocked the entire city immediately.
After the news broke, Xiao Zhao was completely dumbfounded. What... what was going on? President Shi hadn’t even divorced Young Madam yet, so how could he possibly be engaged to Miss Yun Shu?
It was totally a joke!
Xiao Zhao hadn’t even had time to eat breakfast, hurriedly rushing to the company. As he approached the building, it was already surrounded by reporters waiting to interview. With an increasingly dismal face, Xiao Zhao quickly entered the company.
When he entered the president’s office, Shi Che was leaning on the sofa, seemingly dozing off. Xiao Zhao couldn’t care less and immediately approached, exclaiming, ’President Shi, something terrible has happened!’"
