Chapter 172: Chapter 171: The Medicine Box is Missing (3)

Has Shi Che gotten up yet?

Ling Chuxia reached for her cellphone on the bedside table again, lazily glanced at it, but the moment she saw the time displayed on the screen, her whole body shot up from the bed abruptly.

The time displayed on the phone screen was: ten o’clock sharp.

Her usual biological clock was set for half-past eight, and even if it was late, it would never exceed nine o’clock. Thus, she could not have imagined that today, she was more than an hour late. No wonder Shi Che’s spot next to her had already gone cold.

This is bad! It was rare for Shi Che to spend a night at home, yet she failed to wake up to serve him breakfast or help him get ready for work. Shi Che might be angry again, right?

Ling Chuxia almost tumbled out of bed. In the speed of a military training assembly, she brushed her teeth, washed her face, groomed herself, and then hurriedly left the room, rushing downstairs.

Downstairs, Sister Hua heard rapid thudding sounds from the wooden stairs and instinctively looked towards them, seeing Ling Chuxia charging down like an arrow, she couldn’t help but express her concern, "Young Madam, why are you running so fast? Be careful not to fall!"

Ling Chuxia couldn’t delay to answer her question, just kept on dashing downstairs, then hurriedly ran into the Dining Hall. However, the Dining Hall was empty at that moment. She felt her entire head booming, and she just stood there frozen.

Indeed, it was already ten o’clock. How could Shi Che still be here? It’s over, Shi Che must have left angrily!

After barely mending a little bit of their relationship with Shi Che, was it going to break down again? Ling Chuxia really felt her entire being collapse, her delicate face visibly sagging.

Sister Hua stepped forward, seeing Ling Chuxia heading straight for the Dining Hall with her expression changing from anxious to despondent, she then understood everything. Sister Hua couldn’t help but smile slightly, "Young Madam, are you looking for the young master?"

Ling Chuxia paused, turned around to meet Sister Hua’s meaningful gaze, and her face turned slightly red, "No... I overslept, so..."

Ling Chuxia’s explanation made Sister Hua smile even more suggestively. Ling Chuxia simply stopped explaining and, trying to maintain her composure, asked, "Where is the young master?"

"The young master has already gone to work."

Of course, Ling Chuxia bit her lower lip, looking towards Sister Hua, hesitating. She wanted to ask whether Shi Che was angry, but it seemed inappropriate to voice out such a question.

However, Sister Hua sensed her discomfort and took the initiative to say, "Young Madam, don’t worry. It seems that the young master had some urgent matters to attend to back at the company. He rushed out without even having his breakfast. But before he left, he instructed me not to wake you, so you could sleep well."

Ling Chuxia never expected Shi Che to give such instructions to Sister Hua, and her expression stalled.

Sister Hua couldn’t help but laugh, "Young Madam, like I said, efforts do pay off. Look, just one night, and the young master is already showing you consideration."

In Sister Hua’s view, they were, after all, a young married couple. No matter how bad their relationship was, adjusting a bit should fix it, right?

Besides, the young master didn’t reject marrying the Young Madam initially, and... the Young Madam and Miss Yun Shu look exactly alike. If the young master could like Miss Yun Shu, how could he not come to like Miss Chuxia?

Thinking it over, Sister Hua felt very confident!

Listening to Sister Hua’s shifting words, Ling Chuxia was momentarily stunned. She felt her cheeks flushing. Had Shi Che really said such things? It seemed unbelievable, yet her lips involuntarily curved into a slight smile.
