When he took out Ling Chuxia’s phone and saw who the caller was, his frown deepened. The words "Brother Xuan" were now the deepest thorn in his heart, and yet he couldn’t openly remove this thorn at the moment.
The ringtone sounded for quite a while, but since no one answered, it automatically hung up. However, not even half a second later, the ringtone continued to blare.
Shi Che stared fixedly at the phone screen, his eyes gradually filling with gloom. His time with Chuxia was so limited, so scarce that he had to cherish every minute and second. How could he let some random person ruin it?
Shi Che’s finger moved, he directly pressed to hang up, then without hesitation he hit the power button to turn off the phone.
The hospital room fell silent once again. Shi Che placed the phone securely back into Ling Chuxia’s bag, his lips unable to suppress a trace of a smile.
Bai Yixuan listened to the cold beeping tones in his ear, dialed the number anxiously again, only to hear the shutdown tone. Bai Yixuan’s brows locked together deeply.
He had been in meetings all day, and by the time the last meeting finished, it was already past eight in the evening. Because he had instructed his secretary to keep an eye on Chuxia, the secretary reported to him that the design department had gone to Huayuan with President Hong for dinner, and Ling Chuxia had also been called to accompany them.
President Hong of Huayuan was notorious for taking advantage of women, and the fact that Ling Chuxia had gone to entertain him today... Just thinking about it caused Bai Yixuan’s face to darken significantly. He quickly took out his phone to call Ling Chuxia. The first two calls were unanswered, and the final attempt went straight to voicemail.
A foreboding feeling rose in his heart. He hurriedly called Manager Chen, only to find out that it was Ai Li and President Hong who had taken Ling Chuxia away, and she had gotten drunk.
Bai Yixuan’s hand gripping the phone clenched tightly in force. Without waiting for Manager Chen’s response, he strode towards the door of his office.
Shi Che sat by the bed, his fingertips caressing Ling Chuxia’s face with indescribable fondness, tracing her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips.
Between them, it really seemed there were few moments as quiet as this, quiet enough for him to silently watch her, to silently be by her side.
He really missed her.
Shi Che’s lips parted slightly, his voice soft and rasping with threads of hoarseness that slowly echoed in the quiet hospital room, "Chuxia, I miss you so much... I really do."
Even though he had once said he would let go, she still clung to his heart. During the week he was ill with a relentless fever, delirious with his thoughts, she was all that occupied his mind.
All her smiles and pouts were there.
At that time, he thought almost sadly, if he lost Ling Chuxia, if Shi Che no longer had Ling Chuxia, how would he live out the rest of his life?
It would be better... to continue burning , to stay confused because, at least at this time, he could think of her unrestrainedly without caring about his reason or self-control.
Unintentionally, Shi Che’s body leaned slightly forward, his dark pupils earnestly gazed at Ling Chuxia’s sleeping face. His lips gently pressed down, tenderly kissing her red lips. As he was withdrawing, Ling Chuxia, as if sensing something or other, her lips parted slightly and uttered a few words.
These few words made Shi Che freeze; the light in his black pupils suddenly solidified. Get full chapters from noveⅼfire.net
