Chapter 182: Chapter 181 Investigate This Medicine (1)

Chuxia stood up immediately when she saw Shi Che and spoke softly, "I’ll go warm up the meal for you."

Shi Che glanced at her, said nothing, but simply nodded. With that, Chuxia took the lunchbox and left the office, heading to the pantry.

Shi Che walked to his desk, placed the documents on it, and lightly tapped his long fingers on the desk surface. He narrowed his eyes, recalling the way Chuxia just stood there. She didn’t seem to be tidying the desk, rather it looked as if she was searching for something.

What was she looking for?

-

After Shi Che finished eating, Chuxia cleared away the lunchbox. She felt somewhat guilty towards Shi Che and thus wanted to leave.

Shi Che did not ask her to stay. He looked at her and said indifferently, "I’ll have someone send you back." He was about to call Old Zhu.

Chuxia hurriedly shook her head, saying, "No need, the driver brought me here."

Shi Che paused for a moment, then pressed the intercom button. Soon, Xiao Zhao’s voice came through, "President Shi."

"Take the Young Madam downstairs," Shi Che’s voice was deep and decisive.

Chuxia couldn’t refuse again. Xiao Zhao knocked and entered, gesturing for Chuxia to follow. She took a couple of steps before halting, as if suddenly remembering something. Then she came to her senses, looked up slightly at Shi Che, struggled for a moment, and still spoke up in a soft voice, "Young Master... are you coming home tonight?"

Shi Che was opening a file when he paused, then he looked up. His expression remained unchanged, his voice still clear and indifferent as he hummed in affirmation.

Chuxia couldn’t help but smile, her eyes lighting up with joy. She pressed her lips together and slowly turned to leave.

The moment she turned around, a smile slowly spread across Shi Che’s handsome face.

-

That night.

While Shi Che was taking a shower, Chuxia sat on the bed in her nightgown, calculating her menstrual cycle.

Ever since the last time she called Shi Che to come home and took the initiative to say she would take medicine, their relationship had gradually improved. Shi Che was no longer prone to losing his temper at her or spewing harsh, cruel words. Moreover, he had been coming home almost every day recently. On the rare occasions he couldn’t make it due to work, he would phone her to let her know, and even though each call was just a brief utterance of not waiting up for him, this was already a vast improvement compared to before.

Chuxia contemplated that recently, the intimacy with Shi Che had been very harmonious; they were together almost every night. The chances of her getting pregnant certainly increased. She was still half a month away from her next period, by which time she would know if she had conceived. With a bit of luck, she might hit the mark at the first shot.

Of course, until it was certain, she couldn’t afford a moment of relaxation and must continue to make every effort.

While Chuxia was deep in thought, Shi Che came out of the bathroom. She quickly gathered her thoughts, got off the bed, and walked over to him, taking the towel from his hands to dry his wet hair.

Because of the recent warmth in their relationship, her demeanor around Shi Che had become a lot more natural, without the restraint she had shown before.

Shi Che lightly lowered his gaze to the woman in front of him. She was not tall enough, so she tip-toed slightly, arms outstretched, diligently drying his hair. Under the dim light, her facial features exuded gentleness.

A shadow crossed Shi Che’s eyes, and his long arm encircled Chuxia’s slender waist. His thin lips found hers, and Chuxia’s hands paused. The next second, her eyes closed.

The two of them kissing, they quickly tumbled onto the bed.
