Chapter 661: Chapter 660 I Will Prove My Love to You (2)
Xiao Zhao initially didn’t pay attention, thinking he was just dreaming, until the voice near his ear gradually got louder, and then he drowsily opened his eyes.
Shi Che had slept on the couch yesterday, so naturally, Xiao Zhao didn’t dare to go to bed and instead sat on the other couch to sleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Shi Che across from him, struggling to get up.
Perhaps because of the hangover, his movements were noticeably stiff and slow, and it took him a while to stand up.
Xiao Zhao immediately lost all drowsiness, quickly got up, and went to help Shi Che, but once Shi Che stood straight, he waved his hand and pushed Xiao Zhao’s hand away.
Xiao Zhao turned his head to look at the clock on the wall. It was only eight o’clock. Shi Che had gone to sleep around four yesterday and had drunk so much—how could he wake up at this time?
While Xiao Zhao was thinking, Shi Che shakily headed towards the bathroom. Xiao Zhao frowned slightly and couldn’t help but follow, asking softly, "President Shi, do you have something to do today?"
Shi Che didn’t answer and just went straight into the bathroom, leaving Xiao Zhao to stop in his tracks.
It wasn’t long before Shi Che came out of the bathroom. The listlessness on his face had disappeared, replaced by a refreshing cleanliness. Although there were still faint dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were black, bright, and profound, carrying an undeniable presence. Xiao Zhao watched as if the vulnerable, distressed man from yesterday were just his illusion.
Shi Che returned to his room, changed into a fresh shirt, fastened his cuffs, and put on his wristwatch. Then, he grabbed his wallet and car keys and walked straight towards the front door.
As he passed the living room, he paused, his dark eyes glancing at Xiao Zhao, and he said lightly, "You don’t need to stay here. Go back to Liang City."
With Shi Che resuming his calm and composed demeanor, Xiao Zhao subconsciously answered yes, but he glanced at Shi Che and couldn’t help but ask, "President Shi, are you really okay being here alone?"
He looked fine now, but who knew if he would start binge drinking again come evening? Xiao Zhao certainly didn’t want to come back to Liang City next time only to have to visit him in the hospital.
Shi Che’s gaze swept over him lightly, causing Xiao Zhao to involuntarily shrink back, but he still continued, pushing his luck, "President Shi, I’m just worried about you."
Shi Che’s lips pressed together, but he finally spoke softly, "Go back without worries."
Although it was brief, Xiao Zhao knew that if Shi Che could say these words, it meant he wouldn’t continue to indulge himself. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but still harbored a slight concern. He took another look at Shi Che and swallowed slowly before speaking softly, "President Shi, what do you plan to do next?"
He had thought that by sincerely pursuing Miss Chuxia, Shi Che would stand a chance, but now, with Miss Chuxia fundamentally distrustful of his feelings, was this not a dead end?
Mentioning Ling Chuxia caused Shi Che’s eyelashes to tremble slightly, and there was a fleeting moment of unexplained tranquility. But soon, he hooked his lips slightly, his voice very light and faint, "I will make her believe."
More crying and heartache wouldn’t compare to concrete actions. The damage was already done, and he couldn’t return to the past to save things. Instead, he would make up for it now. She didn’t trust him now, but one day, she would.
Having said this, he didn’t regard Xiao Zhao’s stunned look, took a long stride, pulled open the door, and walked out of the house.
