Chapter 715: Chapter 714: Brother Xuan’s Confession (10)

And he would certainly not give him that chance again.

When Shi Che said that, Ling Chuxia felt something was off. She was only going to have a meal with Brother Xuan, but Shi Che made it sound as if Brother Xuan was going to do something to her.

Ling Chuxia’s face slightly darkened, "Shi Che, what are you thinking about? What do you mean ’this kind of thing’? I’m just going to have a meal."

"You’re going to have a meal with another man," Shi Che corrected her, his dark eyes slanting towards her without any courtesy.

"But that’s Brother Xuan, he’s my brother..." Ling Chuxia argued with reason.

Brother? How could a man be unconditionally good to a woman and only want to be a brother? Only a woman as emotionally oblivious as Ling Chuxia could think that way.

Of course, Shi Che wouldn’t enlighten Ling Chuxia about anything and continued with an expressionless face, "To you, he may be a brother, but to me, he is another man."

"..."

With someone as aloof as Shi Che, Ling Chuxia could hardly imagine what he would look like jealous; however, she never expected that once he got jealous, she couldn’t withstand it at all.

Every word he said blocked her completely.

Knowing she couldn’t outreason Shi Che, Ling Chuxia simply gave up on that point. Her dark eyes rolled around, figuring it might be best just to run away.

However, before she could act, Shi Che seemed to have already seen through her thoughts. His hand suddenly stretched out, encircling Ling Chuxia’s slender waist, and in the next second, Ling Chuxia was brought onto the bed—his arms firmly holding her in his embrace, dark eyes fixed on her, a slight smile on his lips, "Stay put, okay?"

He spoke lightly, but the strength with which he held her was anything but weak. Ling Chuxia struggled hard several times, but couldn’t break free. She couldn’t help but widen her eyes in anger and said, "Shi Che, why are you like this?"

"Like what?"

"Domineering, petty!" Ling Chuxia accused without any hesitation.

Shi Che simply took it all in stride and nodded directly, "Yes, I’m domineering, I’m petty."

Ling Chuxia glared at him fiercely, but he admitted it so readily that she was once again silenced, unable to retaliate. As she glared, she couldn’t help but laugh.

How could she fall in love with a man like this? So domineering, so petty, but why didn’t she feel a bit of dislike, only full of joy?

Ling Chuxia gently bit her lower lip, conceding. In fact, if Brother Xuan hadn’t said he had something important to talk about, she wouldn’t have been keen on going to eat at all, especially since Xiao Zhao had already returned to Liang City, and she didn’t want to leave Shi Che alone in the hospital.

"Fine, I won’t go, but... I should at least give Brother Xuan a call to tell him, hand me my phone."

This time, Shi Che didn’t disagree. He reached out from the bedside table to fetch the phone, but paused for a moment as he placed it in Ling Chuxia’s hand.

Ling Chuxia looked at him with confusion, "What’s wrong?"

Shi Che glanced at her, and then said, "No need to call, just send a text."

"..."

-

When Bai Yixuan saw Ling Chuxia’s text, he was already waiting for her in the restaurant.

Since hanging up the phone that afternoon, he had immediately notified the restaurant to make good preparations in the shortest time possible, and despite the rush, everything was adequately arranged.

At this moment, he was sitting in the dining chair, with a long jewelry box beside his left hand, which was his confession gift.
