Chapter 674: Chapter 673: You Care About Me (1)
The suitcase...
It turned out that today he was not going to follow her to work as usual. He was leaving, going back to Liang City, right? The words she said to him yesterday, he had finally taken them to heart, so he wouldn’t be doing those meaningless things anymore, would he?
Yes, that’s right, he should. Since he could no longer find consolation and excitement with her, he couldn’t possibly continue to waste his time on her. It was for the best, really for the best. She was finally going to return to her peaceful life, which was really good.
Ling Chuxia thought silently in her heart and suddenly felt that she had been incredibly foolish last night. She had been tormented all night by a single expression from Shi Che, and she almost wavered, almost believed Shi Che’s words of love.
Thank goodness... Thank goodness she hadn’t believed him, or else how ironic would that have been?
Still, she truly admired his acting skills, for him to say "I love you" so convincingly. Not going into show business was simply a waste of his talent!
Ling Chuxia curled the corners of her lips, but couldn’t even muster a sneer. Her hand unconsciously grabbed her purse, and she took deep breaths, trying hard to control her expression. She held her head high, chest out, then stepped forward as if she hadn’t seen Shi Che at all, heading straight for the elevator.
Shi Che hadn’t expected to run into Ling Chuxia, either. He had wanted to leave without a sound, but it seemed that leaving at the same time every day had become a habit, so he ended up running into her head-on.
But since they had bumped into each other, he couldn’t just go back, and perhaps it was for the best. It gave him an opportunity to say goodbye to her, although... she certainly wouldn’t care.
Sure enough, Ling Chuxia merely glanced at him, her gaze almost without pause, walking past him as if for all this time she had grown accustomed to his coldness and disregard. The light in Shi Che’s eyes dimmed slightly, but it was fleeting; his handsome face soon regained its usual composure.
Shi Che closed the door, then bent slightly to pick up the suitcase. With long strides, he walked towards the elevator.
When Shi Che approached, Ling Chuxia had already entered the elevator, which was a third of the way closed. He reached out to stop it, and the doors reopened. He lifted his gaze, his dark pupils sweeping over Ling Chuxia who stood silently to the side. Then, he carried his luggage inside.
The elevator doors closed, and the small space became instantly quiet.
Through the elevator’s polished steel surfaces, Shi Che looked at Ling Chuxia’s beautiful brow, her complexion worse than the day before. A shadow passed over the light in Shi Che’s eyes, and he sighed softly to himself. Perhaps the decision he had made was for the best. At least... he wouldn’t press Ling Chuxia so hard anymore.
Shi Che thought for a moment, then his thin lips parted and he began to speak in a light voice, "Chuxia, I’m going back to Liang City today..."
But before he could finish, Ling Chuxia harshly cut in, "Where you go, you don’t need to tell me."
These days, no matter what he said, Ling Chuxia basically wouldn’t respond. But he hadn’t expected that today, after just a few words, she would interrupt him so coldly. Shi Che’s words caught in his throat, and a flash of surprise appeared in his dark pupils.
Why did he sense anger in Ling Chuxia’s tone? Was it his imagination?
When Ling Chuxia uttered those words, she herself was taken aback. Shi Che leaving was what she had wanted, yet she couldn’t help but lash out at him with such a biting remark.
