Chapter 209: Chapter 208 Running Away from Home (4)

So much so that now, as she thought about it, the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up, lifting into a slight arc. But soon, the smile at the corners of her mouth fell, and her eyes held an endless desolation.

Even though it wasn’t her choice, she had indeed taken her elder sister’s place, causing Shi Che to lose the sister he deeply loved. Between them, there was no going back.

In fact, she really, truly wished everything could go back to the way it was, truly hoped that she and Shi Che could be as happy and joyful as before.

But why... was it so difficult?

Ling Chuxia stood for a long time, and as time passed, the students in the store gradually left, heading home in groups. The milk tea shop was also about to close.

Ling Chuxia watched those students, and even though everyone walked in different directions, they all had a common destination: home. No matter how late or tired, home was always waiting for them. But she... didn’t know where she could go. She didn’t even... have a home.

The old mansion wasn’t her home, the villa wasn’t her home, she had no home.

-

Shi Che, enduring discomfort, returned to the villa. Sister Hua greeted him with a worried face and reached out to support him, "Young Master, how are you? Is it serious?"

Shi Che brushed her hand aside and stood as firmly as he could, his voice deep, "Where is she?"

Sister Hua frowned and slowly shook her head, "I had Old Zhu drive around the villa area and nearby, but we couldn’t find the Young Madam. And, I’ve made many calls, no one has answered. It’s so late... I’m really worried... "

As Sister Hua spoke, it seemed as if she remembered something and suddenly shut her mouth. Then she cautiously glanced at Shi Che.

Shi Che stood there steadily, the light shining down, making his already pale face even paler. His brows were fiercely furrowed, deep shadows lurked in his eyes, revealing no hint of emotion. His lips were tightly pressed, and the hands hanging by his sides unconsciously trembled slightly.

He suddenly turned and strode towards the entrance.

Sister Hua and Xiao Zhao both stood stunned for a moment, exchanged a glance, and then quickly came back to their senses. Xiao Zhao hurriedly followed Shi Che, "President Shi, where are you going?"

Shi Che ignored him completely and walked straight to Old Zhu, his voice was extremely hoarse, "Give me the car keys."

Old Zhu knew that Shi Che had just been in a car accident and had hit his head. He was barely stable on his feet, so how could he dare to give him the car keys. He quickly said, "Young Master, please rest here. I’ll drive out and find the Young Madam for you. I will definitely bring her back."

Shi Che’s dark eyes stared at him, a gloomy light flickering within them, his voice left no room for doubt, "Give me the car keys."

"Young Master..."

As Old Zhu attempted to persuade him further, Shi Che’s patience had already worn thin. His head throbbed with pain, his brow furrowing tighter, his whole presence becoming more imposing, "Are you not listening to what I say anymore?"

Old Zhu’s hands trembled and, in the end, he silently handed over the car keys.

Shi Che pulled open the driver’s side door, got in, started the engine, and was about to step on the gas pedal, but before the car moved, he rolled down the window and looked at Sister Hua with a solemn voice, "Not a word about tonight’s events to my mother."

Sister Hua felt her heart skip a beat under Shi Che’s gaze and reflexively nodded.

If Mrs. Shi found out about tonight’s events, learning that the Young Madam had so capriciously left home, the Young Madam would likely not escape her fate.

(Tonight’s update is complete~~ Ah, how beautiful it once was, and how sorrowful it is now. Will Young Master Shi find Xiaxia?)
