Chapter 124: Chapter 124 To Pounce or Not to Pounce (10)

She thought there was no way to get Shi Che to stay tonight and felt a bit downhearted, but she still slowly reached out to push the car door open and get out.

Her hand touched the car door, and just as she was about to push it open, she felt the car suddenly turn off. Ling Chuxia was taken aback and involuntarily turned her head to see Shi Che already getting out of the driver’s seat, walking around the front of the car, heading towards the villa’s gate.

Ling Chuxia sat there in the seat stunned, still in the posture of pushing the door open, her eyes wide with disbelief, staring fixedly at Shi Che’s tall silhouette.

Shi Che climbed the stairs, pressed the code lock on the villa’s door, opened it, and seeing no movement behind him, he turned his head back with a cool, low voice, "Aren’t you getting out?"

Ling Chuxia then snapped back to reality, quickly pushed the car door open, got out, and ran toward the gate.

When she entered the house, Shi Che had already taken off his slippers and was heading straight upstairs. Ling Chuxia changed into house slippers, then crouched down to neatly arrange both her and Shi Che’s shoes back in the shoe cabinet before standing up.

While putting away the shoes, Ling Chuxia thought that Shi Che had drunk a little bit tonight, and although it wasn’t much, Shi Che had a problem with headaches, always feeling a bit uncomfortable after drinking. She needed to get him some milk to help with the alcohol.

Having thought this, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen. After warming the milk, Ling Chuxia took it upstairs, entered the bedroom, and saw Shi Che’s clothes carelessly thrown on the floor. She was momentarily distracted, it seemed like a long time since she had seen such a scene.

She placed the milk on the side table and then crouched down, one by one, to tidy up Shi Che’s clothes. Then, hearing the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, Ling Chuxia guessed Shi Che wouldn’t come out so soon, so she went to the wardrobe, took out her pajamas, and began to undress from her evening gown.

The gown had a clasp at the back, a button at the nape of her neck, and Ling Chuxia had to reach behind with both hands, trying to unfasten it by feel. The button was designed to be a bit complex, and she couldn’t undo it all at once, so she slowly worked at it.

However, before she was halfway done, the sound of water from the bathroom suddenly stopped. Ling Chuxia’s heart trembled slightly, and the next second, the bathroom door was pushed open, with some steam rushing out. Shi Che emerged, wearing only a towel around his waist.

Ling Chuxia’s hands abruptly paused, the clasp that was half undone somehow got fastened again, and she bit her lip unconsciously.

As Shi Che came out, he saw Ling Chuxia standing in front of the mirror, trying to undo the button on her dress. He glanced over and only saw Ling Chuxia’s two delicate and fair arms raised up; since she had tied her hair up, at that moment, her bare back was white like a peeled egg, with skin so tender and flawless.
