Chapter 780: Chapter 779: Confession (9)
Ling Chuxia was currently sitting in the car, rolling down the window, with nearly half of her body leaning out, staring dazedly at the vast sea of purple flowers. The sunlight sprinkled upon them, creating a purple-blue brilliance.
"Wow, it’s so beautiful~" Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but exclaim. It was the most natural and authentic aspect of nature, which easily moved people’s hearts. The delicate scent of lavender rushed to her nose, and she involuntarily closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The air was like fresh, chilled lemon water seeping into her lungs, as if a clear spring flowed through the depths of her heart.
She couldn’t help but turn her head and say to Shi Che, "Shi Che, look how beautiful it is, isn’t it?"
Shi Che followed her gaze to look outside, his lips curving into a soft smile as he responded, "Yeah, it’s very beautiful."
The flowers were beautiful, but the person was even more so.
The car drove along the sea of flowers, and gradually, one house after another appeared before they stopped their car under an apple tree. Shi Che and Ling Chuxia got out of the car, and Ling Chuxia raised her eyes to look at the little brick house in front of her, with its yellow walls and blue wooden windows, her gaze slightly dazed.
She remembered this house; it was the same one they stayed in for their honeymoon last time.
During the last honeymoon, she had left Provence with regrets, but regarding this house, there was a kind of resistance, having experienced something unpleasant here, which still made her feel a bit uneasy.
Truth be told, her reconciliation with Shi Che this time had come very suddenly and was rushed. The two of them had simply gotten back together based on their feelings, but... deep down, she still harbored many uncertainties.
She knew Shi Che loved her, and knew that he had confessed his love to her, but she didn’t know when he had fallen in love with her, nor the extent of his love for her, and...did he truly have no feelings for Ling Yunshu? And then there was...those three years, the way he treated her, what was the reason? And his sudden anger during the honeymoon.
So many questions weighed heavy on her heart, yet she didn’t dare to ask—out of fear. She feared that one day Shi Che would, without any apparent reason, suddenly lose his temper with her, suddenly become cold, suddenly not want her.
Hence, knowing she couldn’t get pregnant, she didn’t have the courage to be honest with Shi Che, because there were too many concerns and uncertainties in her heart. She was really afraid she would lose him again.
The taste of loss was too bitter, too painful; she knew it all too well and truly didn’t want to experience it a second time.
After moving the luggage out, Shi Che saw Ling Chuxia standing still, staring blankly at the house. He looked at her slender figure, a fleeting glimmer in his dark eyes, which disappeared in a moment. He stepped forward, one hand carrying the luggage and the other reaching to encircle her waist, and he said gently, "Chuxia, let’s go inside."
Hearing Shi Che’s voice, Ling Chuxia came back to her senses a bit and quickly masked the expression in her eyes, her lips curving slightly as she softly replied, "Okay."
-
Even though three years had passed, the house hadn’t changed at all; it still looked the same as it did three years ago. The two of them entered the house, Shi Che carrying the luggage into the bedroom, while Ling Chuxia’s footsteps halted in the living room. Her gaze then unconsciously landed on the sofa.
She remembered, that day three years ago, after taking a bath, she had walked out of the bathroom intending to call Shi Che to take a bath, but when she didn’t see him in the bedroom, she turned to the living room.
