Chapter 253: Chapter 252 Change (8)

Ling Chuxia had not expected Shi Che not only to not get angry but even to answer her questions and tell her he would be back soon?

Listening to Shi Che’s words, Ling Chuxia suddenly felt it was unreal.

She blankly raised her eyes to look at Shi Che, who also happened to be looking back at her. She collided with the depth of his dark pupils, which seemed to quietly reveal something.

Under his gaze, Ling Chuxia’s heart involuntarily started beating a little faster, yet it was not the fear and trepidation she once felt, but rather a shy timidity that made her reluctant to meet his eyes.

She couldn’t help but lower her gaze and gently bit her lower lip, slowly answering with a sound of assent. Then, after a moment’s thought, she softly spoke up, "Then... drink less and come back earlier."

Shi Che had also not expected Ling Chuxia to say those words to him. Over the years, she was his wife, but only a well-behaved, virtuous, and kind-hearted wife. She never showed concern for him nor asked about any of his affairs. Seemingly virtuous, in reality, she ignored everything about him, indifferent to him.

But when she softly uttered those words, even though they were no more than an ordinary expression of concern, they made his heart ripple fiercely.

Shi Che stared intently at Ling Chuxia, at her slightly blushed cheeks and the way she was gently biting her lip. Shi Che felt as if his heart was about to melt.

He didn’t know how much effort it took to restrain himself from kissing Ling Chuxia, forcibly shifting his gaze away and nodding stiffly, "Mhm."

Receiving Shi Che’s response, Ling Chuxia also felt a surge of joy in her heart, unable to hide the upward turn of her lips.

After changing his clothes, Shi Che left the house. Ling Chuxia stood in front of the window, watching Shi Che’s car slowly drive away from the villa before she turned around and lay back down on the bed.

She tossed and turned for quite a while before she was able to calm her tumultuous feelings.

She had always thought that Shi Che was so disgusted with her that he wouldn’t pay attention to what she said and would be even more impatient to hear her say anything. Moreover, she always said too much, making mistakes that upset Shi Che, so gradually, she dared not speak at all, because the less she said, the fewer mistakes she made, the nothing she said, the no mistakes.

But now... she suddenly felt as if maybe she had been doing something wrong the whole time?

For some reason, Ji Xinxin’s words from the afternoon flashed through her mind.

"Why don’t you try to interact with Shi Che the way you used to?"

Initially, Ling Chuxia hadn’t taken those words to heart because her thinking was too deeply ingrained. Knowing that Shi Che liked her elder sister, it seemed only natural that he would like her sister’s ways.

But no matter how much she tried, Shi Che didn’t start liking her just because she became more like her elder sister; instead, he grew to dislike her even more.

In that case, had she been using the wrong approach from the very beginning?

Should she, as Ji Xinxin suggested, interact with Shi Che as her true self?

Shi Che drove to the city’s night scene that became more beautiful as the night wore on.

He had a permanent, exclusive VIP room here. As Shi Che’s car pulled up to the entrance, he got out of the car, threw the keys to the valet, and headed straight to the private room.

Eldest Young Master Shen always knew how to have fun. When Shi Che entered the room, the atmosphere was already incredibly lively; lights flickered, men and women’s bodies swayed with the music, dancing closely with fiery, passionate movements.
