Chapter 634: Chapter 633 What on Earth Do You Want to Do (3)
Listening to Ling Chuxia’s words, Xiao Zhao felt a slight chill running down his spine, as expected, the request had been made. At this moment, he couldn’t help but admire President Shi’s careful consideration, having anticipated all possibilities in advance.
So Xiao Zhao’s face didn’t show any change, remaining very calm as he looked at Ling Chuxia and said, "Miss Chuxia, although I don’t know why you would suspect President Shi is here, if it can alleviate your doubts, naturally, you can go inside and take a look."
As Xiao Zhao spoke, Ling Chuxia’s dark pupils fixed on him unwaveringly, not missing any subtle expression on his face. However, he was always calm and indifferent, except for the initial surprise when he saw her.
The entire process seemed like a mere coincidence.
Ling Chuxia’s brow furrowed slightly, and her heart started to waver. Could it be that she was just being too sensitive? But no matter what, for peace of mind, she still wanted to go inside and see for herself. Only if she confirmed Shi Che wasn’t there could she truly relax.
Ling Chuxia pursed her lips, then nodded at Xiao Zhao, "Alright then, please open the door."

The layout of Room 1101 was no different from Room 1102, but the furnishings of 1102 leaned toward simplicity, with cool tones, clearly a bachelor’s apartment belonging to a man.
This cool tone was Shi Che’s style. Yet, as she searched the entirety of 1102, Ling Chuxia found neither Shi Che nor any of his belongings.
Ling Chuxia stood still in the center of the room, realizing she couldn’t deduce it was Shi Che based solely on some furniture arrangement—after all, Xiao Zhao was also a man and could likewise favor this style. Although not all her suspicions were dispelled, a large part of them were indeed removed.
Ling Chuxia turned around to face Xiao Zhao with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, "Xiao Zhao, I’m very sorry for the disturbance."
Watching the expression on Ling Chuxia’s face, Xiao Zhao internally sighed with relief, but he dared not accept her apology, for he had deceived Ling Chuxia. He waved his hands repeatedly, "It’s nothing, no need to apologize."
Feeling awkward for suspecting the wrong person, Ling Chuxia didn’t say much more. She quickly turned and left. Xiao Zhao stared at her retreating figure, his lips parted gently as he whispered an apology without sound. Then he pulled out his phone and dialed Shi Che.

Ling Chuxia returned to her apartment and headed straight to the kitchen. She poured a glass of water and drank it down in large gulps, and her heart gradually settled. Reflecting on the events that had just unfolded, she found her own reactions ridiculous.
Was she really overstating her own importance? President Shi and her elder sister should be reconciled by now, right? Why would he still entangle with her?
Ling Chuxia stood still for a while, slowly calming her mind, when she heard a "ding" once more.
She couldn’t help but tilt her face to look at the phone lying on the nearby table, receiving a WeChat message from Mr. S.
Sunshine: "Is everything confirmed?"
Ling Chuxia picked up her phone, stared at it for a while, then replied, "Yeah, it’s confirmed. It was just me being overly sensitive—merely a coincidence."
Right now, Shi Che was sitting in a café near Yi Garden, staring at the line Ling Chuxia had responded with. There was a struggle of emotions in his dark eyes, but eventually, his fingers moved, typing out word by word.
"Chuxia, may I ask who the person you don’t want to meet is?"
