Chapter 176: Chapter 175: The Medicine Box is Missing (7)

Ling Chuxia took a deep breath and forced herself to perk up, regardless of the situation, she couldn’t be the first to panic.

After hastily eating breakfast, Ling Chuxia thought that if Shi Che, after finding the medicine box, hadn’t become suspicious for the time being, he might have just casually put it somewhere. She considered every possible place Shi Che might have kept it and started searching each and every one.

There was nothing in the living room, nothing in the study, nothing in the bedroom. She even rummaged through the garbage can and still didn’t find it anywhere.

Ling Chuxia sat despondently next to the garbage bin, feeling a deep unease. Since the medicine box wasn’t at home, it was likely that Shi Che had taken it with him.

Had he taken the medicine box because he suspected her, or was there some other reason?

Ling Chuxia couldn’t guess what was on Shi Che’s mind at all. She just felt sweat accumulating layer by layer and found it somewhat difficult to breathe.

She could search at home, but if Shi Che took it to the company, how would she search there? Could it be that she needed to go to Shi Che’s company?

The thought alone made Ling Chuxia hold her breath. In the three years since she and Shi Che had gotten married, she had only been to his company once or twice. Those times were in the early days of their marriage when Shi Che was kind to her and had taken her there a few times. Ever since their relationship had soured, she had never set foot in Shi Che’s company again. After all, with Shi Che hating her so much, how could she possibly have the audacity to appear before him?

But if she didn’t go, she would have no way of knowing whether or not the medicine box was in Shi Che’s hands, and if it was, she couldn’t destroy the evidence.

So she had to make the trip.

Ling Chuxia felt anxious just thinking about it; her delicate features tensed into a frown. She wasn’t just worried about Shi Che getting angry with her sudden visit to his company. Right now, she couldn’t even think of a plausible excuse to go there.

Ling Chuxia scratched her head in frustration and couldn’t help but sigh.

As Ling Chuxia was descending the stairs, Sister Hua was preparing lunch. Ling Chuxia’s mood was heavy, and she naturally didn’t feel like helping her. She sat down on the sofa in a daze and continued to rack her brains for a reason to go to Shi Che’s company without arousing his suspicion.

While Ling Chuxia was lost in her thoughts, the delicious smell of Sister Hua’s cooking continuously wafted into her nostrils, involuntarily distracting her. At first, she frowned deeply, but the next second, she paused, then her eyes lit up.

Shi Che hadn’t eaten breakfast, had he? Sister Hua said that he had an urgent matter and had to return to the company. He might not have had the time for breakfast and surely must be hungry by now. What if she delivered lunch to him?

There were times in the past when she had delivered a heartfelt lunch to Shi Che. She remembered how delighted he was, finishing the meal she brought without leaving a single grain.

Although she didn’t know whether Shi Che would still be happy to eat lunch if she sent it now, at least it was a legitimate excuse.

Unable to come up with a better idea, Ling Chuxia steadied her nerves, got up abruptly, and headed for the kitchen.

-

Ling Chuxia was carrying a three-tiered lunch box when she left the house, and Sister Hua praised her progress with a smile. Ling Chuxia felt somewhat guilty, so she avoided Sister Hua’s gaze.

Then, carrying the lunch box, she got into the car and drove off to Shi Che’s company.

To say she wasn’t nervous or scared on the way would be a lie, but for the sake of getting pregnant smoothly, she had to bite the bullet and go.

(Today’s update is complete~~Hehe, Little Xiaxia heads to Shi Che’s company to stealthily retrieve the medicine box. Will she succeed? Or will Shi Che catch her? Hahaha~~The winner of today is: Su Yanru)
