Chapter 190: Chapter 189: Investigate This Medicine (9)

Shi Che was actually dining with a woman!

She had been by his side for so long, yet apart from group meals, he had never dined alone with her, had he? So... was Shi Che’s attitude toward her now because there was someone new?

Zheng Rourou really wanted to confront him and clear things up at that moment, but when she saw Shi Che’s gloomy face, she couldn’t help but shrink back. Her eyes involuntarily swept towards Ling Chuxia, wanting to see clearly what this new favorite looked like, but Chuxia kept her head down, and Rourou clenched her fists tightly, not daring to provoke Che. In the end, she ran away crying.

With Zheng Rourou gone, the atmosphere quieted down, becoming eerily silent. Ling Chuxia could clearly feel that Shi Che was in a foul mood. Although Chuxia didn’t know what had happened between Shi Che and Zheng Rourou, she felt somewhat depressed herself. Shi Che had finally taken her out for a meal, which started with her feeling alright, but then this incident happened.

Ling Chuxia didn’t know what to say, but it didn’t seem right to let the tension continue. She took a deep breath and summoned the courage to lift her hand, then took her chopsticks and picked up a dish, placing it in Shi Che’s bowl, whispering, "Eat up."

Ling Chuxia’s indifference had already angered Shi Che enough. Now, with Zheng Rourou gone, and Chuxia still acting as if nothing had happened, encouraging him to eat, his rage was uncontrollable. He picked up his chopsticks and threw the dish Chuxia had placed in his bowl back onto hers, blurting out angrily, "I won’t eat!"

She actually felt like eating!

Seeing another woman fawning over her husband, she did not get angry, did not rage, didn’t even ask a single question, and yet she was still able to eat so properly!

The hand that Ling Chuxia had used to pick up the dish froze mid-air, and her previously summoned courage deflated instantly. She slightly lowered her eyes and gently bit her lower lip.

She had intended to control her emotions, but for some reason, they became difficult to contain.

It wasn’t her who had angered Shi Che this time, so why should his anger be taken out on her? Ling Chuxia felt stifled and a bit sad.

Shi Che, watching the color drain from Ling Chuxia’s face in an instant, felt innately irritable and didn’t want to deal with her, but seeing her deflated appearance, his dark eyes narrowed, feeling even more frustrated inside. It was as if his hand acted without his control, picking up the dish he had just thrown back into hers and placing it into his mouth.

Watching Shi Che’s actions, Ling Chuxia was at first stunned, but then her eyes brightened. The hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, and then, cautiously, she picked up a few more dishes for Shi Che.

Although Che showed no expression, he still ate the dishes one after another. Chuxia gently looked up at him, and the corners of her lips slowly curled up. The gloominess and sadness in her heart gradually vanished.

When Shi Che realized what he had done, his hand froze abruptly, and his eyes deepened with resentment, as if he wanted to slap himself. However, upon glimpsing the smile at the corner of Ling Chuxia’s lips, he seemed to feel the irritation and dissatisfaction in his heart being smoothed away.

After dinner, Ling Chuxia went to the washroom. Unfortunately, Zheng Rourou hadn’t left yet; she was there too, probably fixing her makeup that had been ruined by her tears, standing in front of the sink, looking into the mirror.

Ling Chuxia glanced at her unconsciously, and Rourou just happened to see her from the mirror as well, turning to look at her. Their gazes met in mid-air.
