Shi Che stared at the message for a long time before slowly editing his response word by word, "Alright, once my face has healed, let’s meet."
As she read Mr. S’s reply, Ling Chuxia’s eyes curved in a smile, and she sent a goodnight message before putting down her phone to sleep.
That night, Ling Chuxia slept particularly sweetly, so much so that when she woke up in the morning, it was already past ten. A few rays of sunlight were filtering through the gauze curtains. Squinting, Ling Chuxia lingered in bed for a while before finally getting up.
Since it was the weekend and she didn’t have to go to work, Ling Chuxia washed up, made herself breakfast, and after eating, cleaned up the house. Looking at the clean and tidy room, her mood improved even more.
Xiao Zhao typically visited Lin City every two weeks to bring documents for Shi Che to sign and to report on the company’s status.
Today, he had arrived early in the morning. He had thought that since there had been no progress between Shi Che and Ling Chuxia this month, Shi Che’s mood wouldn’t be very good. However, to his surprise, he found Shi Che looking spirited and couldn’t help but be taken aback.
But in a flash, Xiao Zhao realized that the only person who could make President Shi so happy must be Miss Chuxia. Could it be that there was some progress?
While thinking, Xiao Zhao couldn’t help but ask.
Shi Che was sitting at his desk looking at documents. Hearing Xiao Zhao’s words, he lifted his eyes lazily and swept them over him, saying unapologetically, "Nosy!"
Xiao Zhao hurriedly closed his mouth, feeling slightly embarrassed. He was just concerned, yet it came off as being nosy. Well, perhaps it was better not to gossip.
But the next second, Shi Che’s eyes softened, and his voice was low and magnetic as he spoke again, "It’s nothing much, just that yesterday I celebrated Chuxia’s birthday with her, and she was very touched."
"...!" President Shi, you’re clearly just showing off your progress. What’s with the stern act just now? Of course, these were thoughts that Xiao Zhao dared only to mutter to himself, not daring to voice out any complaint.
But naturally, he was happy about the progress between Ling Chuxia and Shi Che.
"So, President Shi, when do you plan to meet with Miss Chuxia and let her know that you are Mr. S?"
Shi Che had already agreed to meet with Ling Chuxia yesterday, but he hadn’t decided on a specific time yet; given that things were going so well currently, he couldn’t help but feel uncertain and anxious.
After pondering for a moment, his voice was calm, "I’m not sure yet. But I’ve already promised her."
Xiao Zhao understood Shi Che’s concerns, nodded his head, and didn’t say much more. These things couldn’t be rushed; it was all about careful steps and caution.
Around noon, Ling Chuxia prepared to go out to the nearby supermarket to pick up some daily necessities. She casually tied her hair into a ponytail and left the house wearing a shirt and jeans.
As she approached the elevator, she happened to see a figure entering the elevator. Ling Chuxia’s brows furrowed slightly; why did that figure look so familiar?
Ling Chuxia quickened her pace to catch up, but she missed the elevator. In the last moment before the elevator doors closed tightly, she looked through the crack and saw a familiar face...
But how could that be possible? Xiao Zhao... Why would he appear here? Could it be that he was here to see her? After all, he is Shi Che’s assistant. She and Shi Che had no relation anymore; he had no reason to come to see her, and besides, he hadn’t come to see her.
