Shi Che felt his heart skip a beat at that moment when he saw Ling Chuxia, as if a current of electricity had surged through his body, leaving him paralyzed and standing there in a daze.
He only knew Chuxia might still be here, so without waiting for Xiao Zhao’s investigation, he rushed over, uncertain whether he could find Chuxia. However, he had never expected to actually bump into her, as if it were... fated.
When her big, clear eyes met his, his heart fiercely started to pound again, thumping against his chest. He had finally found her, and this time, he was determined not to let her slip away easily.
With a shimmer in his dark eyes, he was about to step toward her, but unexpectedly, Ling Chuxia suddenly looked away, avoiding his gaze. When she saw him, there was no sign of joy, no excitement, and even... fear and panic?
Shi Che’s throbbing heart felt slightly heavy, and even the fluctuations in his eyes subdued a bit. His dark eyes slightly narrowed, still fixed intently on her.
Manager Chen didn’t realize why Shi Che had stopped walking all of a sudden, turning his head to glance at him—the handsome visage shadowed with an unclear gloom, devoid of his earlier composure. Her heart tightened suddenly—could it be that something had gone wrong, disappointing President Shi?
While she was pondering, Shi Che resumed walking, step by step, heading towards the dining table.
Ling Chuxia felt Shi Che getting closer and closer, his piercing gaze seemingly burning into her head. She involuntarily lowered her head even more, her heart filled with unease, her hands subconsciously twisting together tightly.
As Shi Che approached, Ai Li and Lin Shasha promptly flashed smiles, their eyes sultry, even their bodies subtly striking provocative poses, each more enticing than the other.
But Shi Che didn’t even glance their way; his eyes were only for Chuxia, who kept her head down, wishing she could be invisible.
Getting closer, Shi Che noticed the dress Ling Chuxia was wearing—it was tight, outlining her figure perfectly, the low neckline offering a glimpse of a deep curve, the creamy skin, and the dress’ length barely covering her buttocks, her slim and long legs displayed before him.
Shi Che’s dark eyes darkened fiercely, his hands suddenly clenched, damn it! What was Ling Chuxia wearing!
Manager Chen cleared his throat and began the introductions, "President Shi, these are the key members of our marketing department: Ai Li, Shasha, Wanqing, and Chuxia. Come, everyone, greet President Shi."
Ai Li, not to be outdone, was the first to speak, her voice soft and seductive as if it could drip water, batting her large eyes with long, curled lashes fluttering like fans, "President Shi, hello, I’m Ai Li~ I’ve heard about you before, truly young and promising, extraordinarily handsome."
Because of that dress, Shi Che stared intensely at Ling Chuxia, his face dark, completely ignoring Ai Li. Ai Li didn’t expect a man to ignore her for the first time, her hand awkwardly frozen mid-air, extremely embarrassed.
Manager Chen, watching from the side, felt a bit astonished himself—Ai Li was regarded as the flower of their marketing department, and men always stared at her with undivided attention. But President Shi... didn’t even glance at her, instead, he was fixated on... Ling Chuxia?
