Chapter 709: Chapter 708: Brother Xuan’s Confession (4)
Because Ling Chuxia was still lying in his arms, he didn’t make any grand gestures, but instead reached out his arm towards the bedside table, pulled Ling Chuxia’s purse over, and took out her cell phone.
He pressed the home button, which required unlocking. Shi Che’s dark eyes squinted slightly, and without a second thought, he directly entered Ling Chuxia’s birthday, and sure enough, it unlocked successfully.
Once unlocked, a WeChat message caught his eye. Shi Che tapped to view it, and his gaze immediately intensified.
It was from Bai Yixuan, "Xiaxia, I got back last night but didn’t want to disturb your rest, so I didn’t tell you. Do you remember what I told you before? Let’s have dinner together tonight."
If he hadn’t seen this WeChat message, Shi Che would have almost forgotten about the existence of Bai Yixuan, and also nearly forgotten that Chuxia was still in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Bai Yixuan, right?
The very thought made Shi Che feel a frantic irritation and revulsion inside; his mind involuntarily recalled all the times he had seen Ling Chuxia and Bai Yixuan together, the scenes like sharp knives thrusting viciously into his heart, causing his hand gripping the phone to tighten uncontrollably.
Now that he and Chuxia had just started to mend their relationship, how could he allow Bai Yixuan to interfere at this moment?
Shi Che’s dark eyes grew stern as he unhesitatingly deleted the WeChat message and then powered off the phone before returning it to Ling Chuxia’s purse.
Having done all this, he reached out and pulled Ling Chuxia into a tight embrace again, thinking to himself that he needed to find another project to send Bai Yixuan away on a business trip for another ten days or half a month. No, that wasn’t right... preferably, he should go on a business trip and never come back.

Perhaps it was because she was exhausted, or perhaps because Shi Che’s embrace was so warm, Ling Chuxia slept deeply and comfortably, dreamlessly until the bright light of day.
Her long eyelashes quivered gently as Ling Chuxia slowly opened her eyes to find the handsome face of Shi Che close at hand. He was propped up by his hand behind his ear, lying on his side next to her, his dark eyes like obsidian, quietly watching her with focus and allure.
With sunlight streaming from behind him, his face slightly against the light, he seemed godlike, astonishingly breathtaking.
Barely opening her eyes to such a beautiful sight, Ling Chuxia felt for a moment as if she were still dreaming and was dazed, Shi Che’s lips curving into a slight smile, his voice deep and soft, "Chuxia, good morning."
As his voice slipped into her ears, his handsome face gradually leaned closer to her, and then, a gentle and moist kiss landed on her lips.
Blinking her large eyes, Ling Chuxia’s consciousness slowly returned, and memories gradually flooded her mind until she recalled clearly where she was. Her fair cheeks inevitably flushed with a rosy hue, she felt somewhat shy to look into Shi Che’s affectionate eyes, yet she couldn’t help but steal glances at him, her hands instinctively grasping the quilt as she whispered in a voice as delicate as a mosquito, "Good morning."
Having just woken up, a slight haze still lingered in Ling Chuxia’s clearly defined eyes, and her voice was tinged with a hint of huskiness and laziness, compounded by the blush and a hint of shyness on her cheeks.
Shi Che, watching her, felt his heart suddenly bombarded by a sweet explosive, detonating swiftly, the sweetness fused with a touch of feverish heat. His body flipped over quickly, his hands bracing against the sides of Ling Chuxia’s cheeks, his dark eyes fixed on her, his voice low and dangerous, "Chuxia, don’t look at me like that... I won’t be able to resist."
