Ling Chuxia and Bai Yixuan finished picking out food and then moved on to the household necessities. Shi Che watched as Bai Yixuan expertly placed some necessities into the shopping cart, while Ling Chuxia stood beside him, choosing shower gel. She held two different types in her hands, looking over them for a while as if unable to decide. She then tilted her head back and handed the shower gels to Bai Yixuan, her red lips slightly parting as if asking for his opinion. Bai Yixuan smiled and pointed to one, and she promptly placed the one Bai Yixuan chose into the shopping cart.
Shi Che leaned despondently against the shelf, his heart sinking to the bottom.
Had they become this intimate already?
Ling Chuxia and Bai Yixuan almost filled the shopping cart and then pushed it to the cashier. Coming out of the supermarket, they carried about three large bags of items. Bai Yixuan wanted to carry them all, but Ling Chuxia insisted on taking one from his hands and quickly ran towards the car, her bell-like laughter trailing into the distance.

Shi Che felt his heart being hammered, each blow heavier than the last.
The two got into the car, and as it started again, Shi Che slowly walked to his own vehicle and got inside.
Xiao Li looked up and through the rearview mirror at Shi Che. The man’s handsome face carried its usual indifference, but he could clearly sense the low spirits contrasting the mood Shi Che had before entering the supermarket.
He sat there quietly, an atmosphere of deadly silence enveloping him, his dark eyes deeper and showing no emotion.
Watching Bai Yixuan’s car gradually driving away, Xiao Li didn’t want to disturb Shi Che at this moment but still had to speak softly, "President Shi, should we continue following?"
Shi Che’s eyelids slightly drooped, his long eyelashes creating a curved shadow over his eye sockets. He remained silent for a few seconds, his hands clenched tight, and then spoke in a deep voice, "Follow them."
The car slowly returned to Yi Garden, and Bai Yixuan found an empty spot to park. The two of them got out and walked side by side into an apartment building.
Shi Che slowly followed behind them.
They entered the elevator, and as the doors closed, he stood by the elevator, watching the numbers slowly rise until stopping at the eleventh floor. He immediately pressed the elevator button and entered, pressing for the eleventh floor.
Arriving at the eleventh floor, Shi Che quickly stepped out. There were only two apartments on this floor, one on the left and one on the right. Shi Che glanced around and immediately saw that Ling Chuxia’s apartment was on the right, 1102.
Since the door to 1102 was not closed but only the outer iron gate was, he could peer inside through the gaps in the gate’s bars.
The two placed the items they bought on the table, Bai Yixuan carried the groceries into the kitchen, and Ling Chuxia sorted the things slightly before entering the kitchen as well.
The kitchen was an open style, and from his angle, he could clearly see inside.
Ling Chuxia took down an apron and put it on, while Bai Yixuan stood behind her, tying the apron strings for her. Ling Chuxia turned her head and gave him a sweet smile.
Then, as if Ling Chuxia was asking Bai Yixuan to leave, he didn’t go but stayed in the kitchen, helping her occasionally wiping the sweat from her forehead. Ling Chuxia tilted her head slightly, a lock of black hair playfully falling beside her temple. Bai Yixuan reached out, his fingertips hooking that lock of hair and tucking it behind her ear.
