Chapter 118: Chapter 118 To Pounce or Not to Pounce (4)

Ling Chuxia’s evening gown was already thin, and a large part of her back was exposed, so when the chilly breeze blew, she unconsciously shivered, goosebumps rising on her arms.

Ling Chuxia instinctively wrapped her arms around herself, rubbing her arms with a little force, and even gently stamped her feet in place.

After retrieving his car, Shi Che drove past the hotel entrance and happened to see Ling Chuxia like this. His gaze was dark and undisturbed, but his hands unconsciously tightened on the steering wheel. Then, he forced himself to look away and pressed the accelerator, speeding past.

The Aston Martin was too eye-catching as it passed by her, and of course, Chuxia saw it too. With a quick glance, she only saw Shi Che’s usual expressionless face, not even flicking his eyes in her direction.

For some reason, Chuxia felt a slight suffocation in her heart. She lowered her head and then laughed at herself mockingly. Just moments before, she had actually entertained the thought that maybe Shi Che would give her a ride on the way.

That she could harbor such thoughts, Chuxia found increasingly laughable on reflection. The corners of her lips turned up, yet it was a feeble smile.

Ling Chuxia laughed for a while, discarding those ridiculous thoughts, and planned to focus on waiting for the taxi. But before she could look up, she suddenly heard the honking of a car horn.

Reflexively, Ling Chuxia lifted her head, only to see the Aston Martin, which had apparently returned at some point, parked right in front of her. She was momentarily stunned.

The window lowered, and Shi Che’s cool voice came through, as clear and decisive as ever, "Get in."

Ling Chuxia was still a little slow to react, staring blankly at Shi Che, but suddenly, her eyes met his black ones. His eyes were slightly narrowed, his brows faintly furrowed, showing impatience. Chuxia jerked into action, without any time to think, she reflexively opened the car door and sat inside.

As soon as she sat down, before she could even fasten her seatbelt, Shi Che stomped on the accelerator, and the car shot out quickly.

After driving a good distance, Ling Chuxia finally came back to her senses. Shi Che had clearly left just now, but for some reason, he had turned back to let her get in. Was he going to take her home?

Ling Chuxia turned her face slightly and looked out of the car window. This road was indeed leading in the direction of her home.

Ling Chuxia’s heart skipped lightly, and she couldn’t help but sneak another glance at Shi Che, who was driving seriously, his brows still slightly furrowed, his deep black eyes unreadable.

After watching for a good while and still unable to discern anything from his face, Ling Chuxia could only give up. But she pursed her lips and quietly spoke, expressing a soft "Thank you."
