Chapter 711: Chapter 710: Brother Xuan’s Confession (6)
As Ling Chuxia was puzzled, Shi Che calmly extended his hand, took her phone from her grasp, and said indifferently, "It’s out of battery, right?" Then, with his other hand holding his own phone, he directly handed it to Ling Chuxia, "Use my phone to make the call."
Bai Yixuan had asked Ling Chuxia to have dinner with him tonight. How could he possibly let Ling Chuxia turn on her phone?
"It’s impossible. I fully charged it yesterday." Ling Chuxia suspiciously looked at Shi Che and directly reached for the phone in his hand. Caught off guard, Shi Che lost control of the phone, which she snatched back, and Ling Chuxia immediately pressed the power button.
As soon as the screen lit up, sure enough, there was more than half of the battery left. Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but give Shi Che a sidelong glance, waving the phone in front of his eyes, "What is this?"
Shi Che’s expression remained unchanged, his voice still casual, "I must have guessed wrong."
Guessed wrong?
Ling Chuxia’s eyes grew even more doubtful. She lowered her gaze slightly, her fingers lightly moved, and she unlocked the phone. Immediately, two WeChat messages appeared along with several missed calls from Brother Xuan. She seemed to understand something at once, and a slight smile lifted the corners of her mouth. Her big eyes looked at Shi Che, "Shi Che, you turned off my phone, didn’t you?"
She had been wondering why her phone had been silent all day.
Being exposed like this, Shi Che didn’t seem embarrassed at all. He lifted his dark eyes to meet Ling Chuxia’s gaze and nodded directly, "Yes, I turned it off, so that irrelevant people wouldn’t disturb us."
Ling Chuxia hadn’t expected Shi Che to admit it so boldly. She was slightly stunned, then her smile deepened, "Irrelevant people? Who, Brother Xuan?"
Ling Chuxia’s eyes were lovely; dark and glossy, they seemed to sparkle mischievously as she teased.
A rare blush crept up Shi Che’s cheeks, but hearing her softly call out ’Brother Xuan,’ his expression quickly grew cold, and with a sudden stretch of his hand, he grasped Ling Chuxia’s wrist firmly. With a pull, she, who was sitting on a nearby chair, was unexpectedly dragged in front of him.
Ling Chuxia let out a slight yelp. Coming to her senses, she saw Shi Che’s stern face and his dark eyes that had grown colder. A pang of anxiety hit Ling Chuxia’s heart as she heard Shi Che’s lips part and his solemn voice ask, "Ling Chuxia, we are reconciled now, right?"
Shi Che’s sudden seriousness left Ling Chuxia unable to react; she instinctively nodded.
Shi Che seemed satisfied with Ling Chuxia’s nod. The expression on his handsome face softened slightly, but his tone remained serious, "Then, shouldn’t you immediately sever ties with irrelevant people?"
Sever ties with irrelevant people? Irrelevant people ... Brother Xuan? But what sort of ties did she have to sever with Brother Xuan?
For a moment, Ling Chuxia’s mind couldn’t quite grasp his point, and she responded directly.
Immediately, Shi Che’s handsome face darkened, his dark eyes clouding over almost to the point of gritting his teeth, "Ling Chuxia, are you planning to play both sides now?"
This accusation from Shi Che baffled Ling Chuxia, leaving her stunned for a few seconds before she finally grasped what he meant, and she burst into laughter, unable to contain herself.
