Chapter 730: Chapter 729: Returning (3)
Shi Che’s movements remained gentle, his voice languid, "When do you want to go back?"
Ling Chuxia hadn’t expected Shi Che to respond like this, she paused briefly, "What?"
Shi Che touched her hair, which was almost dry, turned off the hairdryer, and the buzzing noise by her ear stopped. Shi Che sat on the bed, grabbed Ling Chuxia, and pulled her onto his lap, his dark eyes fixed on her face. His lips parted slightly, speaking word by word, "Whenever you want to go back, that’s when we’ll go back."
Ling Chuxia was still somewhat stunned, unable to react.
With a slight hook at the corner of his mouth, Shi Che’s forehead gently pressed against Ling Chuxia’s, the soft light in his black eyes intensifying, his voice lazy as he added, "If you don’t want to go back, then we can just stay here forever."
With just this one sentence, Ling Chuxia suddenly realized... Shi Che had long seen her unease and hesitation, hadn’t he?
She lightly lifted her eyes, gazing at the close dark brown pupils, "You knew?"
"I knew."
Although Ling Chuxia had suppressed much of herself over the past three years, some of her thoughts still couldn’t escape his notice. During their time in the hospital, whenever he worked and she occasionally daydreamed, lost in thought, or appeared contemplative, her delicate brows would unconsciously furrow.
At first, he was somewhat puzzled, but soon he understood. Chuxia was worried that he would return to Liang City, and she... she was afraid to go back.
He understood her fear; no one wants to easily return to a place they’ve left in shambles.
Therefore, he would never mention going back in front of her. But, if she wanted to return, then they would; if she didn’t, he would do his best to relocate the company closer to here.
Isn’t it said that falling in love with a person is like falling in love with a city?
Therefore, if he had fallen for Ling Chuxia, wherever she wished to be, that’s where he would be.
So, he had seen everything but never pressured her. Instead, he said they could stay here indefinitely if she didn’t want to go back.
This kind of promise isn’t given lightly; after all, the Shi Family’s roots were in Liang City, his family was in Liang City, yet he still made such an offer to her.
Wasn’t she moved?
No, quite the contrary; the emotion washed over her like a tide, almost overwhelming her. She blinked her large eyes, feeling a warmth in them, her voice turning slightly hoarse, "Shi Che, why are you so good to me?"
Shi Che lowered his gaze, looking at the flickering light in her eyes. His handsome facial features softened, and without a hint of modesty, he said, "Yeah, I’m this good. Shouldn’t there be a reward?"
The word ’reward’ was drawn out, filling the air with a suggestive atmosphere.
What was a tender moment had been scattered by his teasing, playful words. The tears Ling Chuxia had been holding back vanished in an instant; she glared at him irritably. Yet that look, seemingly coquettish with just a hint of indignation, was enough to send a tingle through Shi Che’s entire body.
His voice grew even huskier as he pressed, "Hmm? Where’s my reward?"
He truly couldn’t be praised.
Ling Chuxia silently criticized him in her heart, but her arms naturally wrapped around Shi Che’s neck, her red lips meeting his in a kiss.
As soon as their lips touched, Shi Che took control immediately, and Ling Chuxia’s slender body was quickly pressed onto the soft bed, the room filled with intimacy.
