Chapter 171: Chapter 170 The Medicine Box is Missing (2)

Shi Che lowered his gaze and noticed a box under his foot, where his slippers stepped. His dark eyes narrowed slightly and he bent over a bit to pick up the box.

His sight swept over the cover of the box, which was labeled with the word "vitamins."

Why would a box of vitamins be here? Shi Che opened the lid to check and saw that the pills were all in place, uningested; it must be new, so why was it on the floor?

Could it have been dropped by Ling Chuxia carelessly?

Shi Che’s brows furrowed slightly, but he didn’t overthink it. He knew that following Mrs. Shi’s advice, Ling Chuxia had always paid attention to maintaining her health, and it was quite normal for her to take vitamins.

Just as Shi Che was about to put the pillbox down, his phone rang. Without thinking, he pulled it out of his pocket and pressed the answer button immediately.

The voice on the other end was his assistant Xiao Zhao, sounding rather urgent, "President Shi, I apologize for disturbing you so early, but there’s been an issue with the document from before..."

Shi Che listened calmly as Xiao Zhao finished speaking, then replied firmly, "First compile the data from the previous document, I’m heading to the office now."

After hanging up, Shi Che pocketed his phone, picked up his suit jacket, and walked straight toward the door.

Sister Hua was preparing breakfast and saw Shi Che head to the entrance to change his shoes. She couldn’t help but ask in surprise, "Young Master? Aren’t you going to have breakfast before you leave?"

Shi Che responded while changing his shoes, "No, I’m heading back to the office now."

He finished putting on his shoes and turned around to leave. However, before stepping out the door, he paused, turned his head slightly toward Sister Hua and said indifferently, "If the Young Madam gets up late, there’s no need to wake her. Let her sleep."

It appeared that he had indeed tired her out last night; she had slept soundly throughout the night, and when he woke up in the morning, he could faintly see dark circles under her eyes.

Hearing Shi Che’s words, Sister Hua was slightly taken aback, but then her face immediately lit up with joy and she nodded at once, "Alright, Young Master, I understand."

Shi Che nodded in acknowledgment and left.

Sister Hua watched Shi Che’s departing figure, a smile reaching the corners of her eyes. Although she wasn’t sure what happened after the Young Master and Young Madam went upstairs last night, given the Young Master’s demeanor now compared to his coldness yesterday evening, it seemed like the Young Madam might indeed stand a chance.

With that thought, Sister Hua grew even more cheerful.

It wasn’t until Shi Che sat in his car that he realized he had been unconsciously clenching the vitamin pillbox in his hand.

He couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smile, casually setting it aside before opening his laptop to review documents.

The car moved smoothly and drove away from the villa.

Ling Chuxia had a rare night without those messy nightmares and woke up with the daylight already shining.

Because it had been so long since she had felt this way, Ling Chuxia lay in bed, still somewhat groggy, until she turned her head to look out the window. Through the thin curtain, the sky was a clear azure blue, with abundant sunlight and exceptionally good weather.

Ling Chuxia’s consciousness gradually returned, and she remembered the events of last night, causing her heart to leap suddenly. Right, Shi Che was here!

She looked instinctively beside her; there was no one there, but the bedsheet had some wrinkles from being laid on, indicating that Shi Che indeed had slept here last night.

Ling Chuxia reached out her hand and touched the bedsheets, which were already cool to the touch.
