Chapter 125: Chapter 125 To Pounce or Not to Pounce (11)

Shi Che’s steps involuntarily faltered, and a shadow passed over his eyes. He remembered the first time he saw her tonight, under the dim lights. He couldn’t hide her beauty as she slowly walked toward him, and everything around them seemed to instantly recede, leaving only them in the entire world.

Every frown and smile, every move she made, was filled with allure. It made one desperately want to keep her concealed, away from the prying eyes of others.

Suddenly, Shi Che’s brow furrowed slightly. Ling Chuxia looked stunning in that dress—it was dazzling. So dazzling that the eyes of all the men in the room kept falling on her from time to time, admiring her beauty.

She might not have noticed, but he saw it clearly.

He had always disliked how Ling Chuxia discarded her own style to follow Mrs. Shi’s orders, only wearing the clothes approved by Mrs. Shi. Such demure and ladylike attire covered her vivacity and charm completely, leaving behind a rigid image.

However, now he wished Ling Chuxia would only wear those clothes—preferably something very conservative!

As soon as Shi Che came out, Ling Chuxia felt her hands become clumsy. Earlier, she was focused and undistracted while unbuttoning her dress, not finding it difficult at all, but now for some reason, her hands couldn’t remain steady. She knew how to unbutton it but kept missing the buttons. The more mistakes she made, the more anxious she became, and the more anxious she was, the harder it was to unbutton, resulting in a vicious cycle that left her fumbling for a good while without success.

Ling Chuxia’s face turned red with frustration. She didn’t know if Shi Che was watching her, but she constantly felt an immense pressure. She wanted to retreat to the bathroom to continue, but Shi Che had already seen her, and besides, they were husband and wife. She couldn’t obviously avoid him like that!

Just when Ling Chuxia was at a loss, she heard Shi Che’s footsteps approaching steadily. Ling Chuxia’s heart contracted sharply until she felt Shi Che standing behind her, making her breathing slow by half a beat.

Shi Che reached out, pulled her hands away, and then his fingers landed on the buttons of her dress, beginning to help her unfasten them.

Shi Che was a head taller than her, so he had to lower his head closer to the back of her neck. She could feel the warmth of his breath slowly brushing against her skin, and as his hands worked on the buttons, they occasionally grazed her skin. Ling Chuxia’s whole body began to heat up, her cheeks burning as though they were on fire.

Ling Chuxia took deep breaths, trying hard to relax and not let Shi Che notice her unease.

Shi Che was quick with the buttons, and in less than a minute, the dress was unbuttoned. This dress was essentially held in place by the neck button, so as soon as the button was undone, the dress slid effortlessly off her body.
