Chapter 671: Chapter 670 I Will Prove My Love for You (12)
The thirty-minute drive took a full hour to get back to the Yiyuan District. Although Shi Che was somewhat reluctant, he still stepped on the brakes, and the car slowly came to a stop.
Shi Che had thought that once the car stopped, Ling Chuxia would be eager to get out and leave, but unexpectedly, even after the car had stopped for almost a minute, Ling Chuxia made no movement. A trace of confusion flickered across Shi Che’s dark eyes as he turned his face to look at Ling Chuxia.
Indeed, Ling Chuxia hadn’t moved; she turned her gaze back from the window, her eyes slightly lowered, her gaze faintly resting in the void, lost in thought.
The rain had stopped at some unknown time, and the cabin had always been quiet. At this moment, it became even more suffocatingly quiet.
Watching Ling Chuxia, Shi Che didn’t know why, but a vague sense of unease surfaced in his heart. His hand, still resting on the steering wheel, involuntarily tightened, the palm slightly sweating. He took a light breath, his lips slowly moved, and his voice, rough with dryness, called out, "Chuxia..."
Actually, he didn’t know what he wanted to say; he just instinctively called her name to mask his unease.
And as soon as his voice rang out, Ling Chuxia’s voice followed, "Shi Che."
Perhaps influenced by a fever from a few days ago, Ling Chuxia’s voice had not yet recovered and still carried a bit of a rasp. Her voice was low, raspy as she called his name.
The hint of unease in Shi Che’s heart began to spread with that call from Ling Chuxia, and he vaguely felt that what Ling Chuxia would say next was definitely not something he wanted to hear. He really wanted to interrupt her, to stop her from speaking further, but at that moment, his throat felt as if something was blocking it; he opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word.
After calling Shi Che’s name, Ling Chuxia was silent for a brief moment, licked her dry lips, took a soft breath, and then continued, "Stop doing these things."
Even though he was prepared, when Ling Chuxia said those words, Shi Che’s heart still couldn’t help but skip a beat. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his gaze slowly shifting from her to the front of the car, his voice low, as if he hadn’t understood Ling Chuxia’s words, almost as if deceiving himself, "Doing what?"
Hearing Shi Che’s faint words, Ling Chuxia felt an unconscious urge to laugh—’Doing what?’ How could he not know? Was he actually pretending to be clueless with her?
But, perhaps too tired or for some other reason, at that moment she couldn’t manage to laugh; her body felt weak, and even her words sounded powerless, "Shi Che, why even bother? I don’t know what your intentions are, but I’m telling you, whatever you do, it’s meaningless. You... just go back to Liang City."
As she spoke those last words, Ling Chuxia felt as if a sharp needle had viciously pierced her heart, her breath halting for half a second, but she clenched her hand tightly, forcefully suppressing those inappropriate emotions, and continued, "We’re already divorced, just... even if I beg you, please let me go."
Even if I beg you, please let me go...
Such simple words, yet strung together into such a sentence, they were so sharp, piercing straight through the heart.
