Chapter 670: Chapter 669 I Will Prove My Love for You (11)
The rain intensified, the visibility from the car was hindered, and the vehicle moved exceedingly slowly. What was usually just over half an hour’s drive had now taken twenty minutes, yet they hadn’t even reached halfway.
Inside the car it was very quiet, a person’s senses begin to sharpen. Even though Shi Che sat some distance away from her, Ling Chuxia felt as though his breath lingered all around her, firmly enveloping her, along with the suit jacket draped over her shoulders. Its warmth seemed like it could scorch her.
Ling Chuxia’s gaze remained fixed outside the window, but the emotions at the bottom of her heart began to simmer. She desperately wanted to stay calm, wanted to continue ignoring Shi Che’s presence, but the truth was, with Shi Che by her side, it was simply impossible for her to remain unperturbed.
Although Ling Chuxia didn’t want to admit that Shi Che still had an impact on her, the heart cannot deceive itself. She knew very well that Shi Che, day by day, hovered around her, riding the subway with her every day, enduring the squeeze of the crowd just to protect her, to make room for her, to prevent others from jostling her. One day she might not feel it, two days she might not, but after three days, four, five... she couldn’t possibly feel nothing at all.
Yet she still treated him coldly every day, acting as if he were air. With his temper, he would have long mocked her and walked away, but he didn’t. His expression was always serene, gentle, caring, with not a trace of complaint.
In this one week, everything he did really seemed as if she was a woman he deeply loved.
But how could that be possible? How could she be the woman he deeply loved? If that were the case, why did he treat her that way during their three years of marriage? If that were the case, why didn’t he want their child?
Scenes from the past kept flashing in her mind, and her elder sister’s words echoed in her ears. Each image brought extreme hurt, and she dared not believe anything Shi Che did anymore.
She was very afraid that once she believed him again, once she fell into his gentle trap again, the moment the truth was unveiled again, she wouldn’t be able to bear it; she would truly collapse.
She couldn’t endure such despair again; she was truly frightened.
Ling Chuxia’s hands slowly clenched, and her gaze out of the car window solidified with determination. She could no longer continue to be entangled with Shi Che like this, she had to make things clear with Shi Che once and for all.
Shi Che drove, yet his eyes swept towards her involuntarily. Ling Chuxia was almost always seated in profile to him, allowing him only to see the side of her face.
Her complexion had been poor recently, always pale. At this moment, her face was expressionless, her lips slightly pursed with a stubborn curve. Shi Che watched her, sighing softly in his heart, yet he couldn’t help feeling a slight sense of relief.
Thank goodness for the downpour, he thought, as now he could be alone with Ling Chuxia. Even if she said nothing, she was seated next to him, within arm’s reach, and his heart was content.
A faint glimmer of light flickered in his dark eyes. Unconsciously, Shi Che’s foot on the gas pedal lightened, and the car’s speed imperceptibly decreased bit by bit.
Even if this was a brief moment of togetherness, he couldn’t help wishing that this short time could be extended a little longer, just a little longer...
