Chapter 713: Chapter 712 Brother Xuan’s Confession (8)
Shi Che completely ignored her, his hand continuing to move inside, directly caressing Ling Chuxia’s soft body. However, Ling Chuxia was startled by the ringtone of the phone, and her blurry eyes suddenly cleared, returning her to full consciousness.
Feeling Shi Che’s hand, her fair cheeks flushed immediately. She quickly grabbed Shi Che’s hand, and placed the other one against his chest, pushing him slightly away as she muttered, "The phone."
Shi Che’s eyes narrowed slightly, his dark gaze intense, and his hoarse voice sounded, brisk and resolute, "Ignore it." Having said that, he leaned down again, intending to kiss her.
But Ling Chuxia forcefully pulled Shi Che’s hand out of her clothes. Though her breath was unsteady, she still managed to say, "No, your body..."
Even though it was just a minor fracture, he needed to be careful to recover properly; what if he carelessly worsened his injury?
Thinking this, Ling Chuxia’s eyes firmed up, and the hand placed against Shi Che’s chest involuntarily exerted more force, pushing him away.
Pushed away by Ling Chuxia, Shi Che frowned slightly. The mood was excellent, yet a phone call had to interrupt. Who was being so inconsiderate? Unable to help himself, he reached over and took Ling Chuxia’s phone from her, and the words "Brother Xuan" appeared before his eyes.
Shi Che snorted coldly right away. It was indeed from someone inconsiderate.
Ling Chuxia got up from the bed, quickly straightened her disheveled clothes, and then reached for the phone in Shi Che’s hand. Seeing it was Bai Yixuan calling, she promptly pressed the answer button.
"Hello—"
Bai Yixuan’s voice, typically gentle and smooth, carried worry and urgency, "Xiaxia, why was your phone off earlier? You didn’t come to work today, and you weren’t at home either. Where did you go?"
"I... I’m at the hospital."
"Hospital? Why are you at the hospital? Are you sick?"
"No, I’m fine, it’s just..." Ling Chuxia hesitated, inadvertently glancing at Shi Che. She didn’t know how to explain Shi Che’s matter to Bai Yixuan, as it wasn’t something that could be covered in a few words. She decided not to mention it for the moment, and simply said, "Anyway, I’m fine, Brother Xuan, don’t worry. By the way, have you returned from your business trip?"
Relieved to hear Ling Chuxia was alright, Bai Yixuan gave a soft hmm before continuing, "I sent you a WeChat message this morning, didn’t you see it?"
A WeChat message this morning...
Ling Chuxia involuntarily glanced at Shi Che again. So, he had seen the WeChat message from Brother Xuan this morning, and that’s why he turned off her phone? This man really...
Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but stretch her hand into a fist, gently punching Shi Che, but he caught her hand and held it. Unable to pull it free, she let him hold it.
"Uh, I didn’t check my phone."
There seemed to be a pause on the other end, but soon Bai Yixuan spoke again, his voice as gentle as ever, "Then, Xiaxia, are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together."
"Tonight?"
"Yes, I told you before I have something I want to discuss with you, remember?"
Ling Chuxia did remember this; Bai Yixuan had told her before his trip that he had something to discuss upon his return. But tonight, she was supposed to be with Shi Che...
Ling Chuxia hesitated, and Bai Yixuan’s voice sounded again, "Xiaxia, tonight, I really hope you can come."
