Chapter 579: Chapter 579

She came today to test Shi Che and see what kind of attitude he really had. If he had completely given up on Ling Chuxia, then perhaps there was still a chance for her.

Mrs. Shi followed Ling Yunshu’s gaze and saw Shi Che standing at the top of the stairs, his tall frame erect, which even the casualness of his loungewear couldn’t obscure his elegance and grace.

Mrs. Shi was adept at reading people, and it was clear to her what was on Ling Yunshu’s mind. Although she said she was here to visit her, her true intent was not on the visit itself. Her eyes flickered with understanding, and she couldn’t help but curve her lips into a slight smile.

She had always liked Ling Yunshu; it was just that Shi Che liked Ling Chu, and after a life or death situation had come full circle, she had gained some insights and was no longer willing to force anything on Shi Che. However, deep down, there was a bit of an unpleasant taste, but she hadn’t expected that Shi Che had already signed the divorce papers with Ling Chuxia. So it seemed that Shi Che and Ling Chuxia were over; perhaps now, encouraging him to be with Yun Shu wouldn’t be forcing him, right?

As Mrs. Shi pondered, the smile on her face grew deeper. Lifting her eyes to Shi Che, she said, "Che’er, you’ve come just in time. Help me persuade Yun Shu to stay; she wants to leave as soon as she’s arrived."

Shi Che’s dark eyes slowly swept over, not responding immediately but taking steps, one after the other, toward the sofa where they sat.

Ling Yunshu sat there, watching as his tall and handsome figure approached her slowly, and her heart beat uncontrollably. Her hands clenched slightly, her eyes cast downward, yet filled with anticipation and excitement.

Would he ask her to stay?

She wanted to look at Shi Che, yet dared not to, until his straight legs caught her eyes, and her breathing paused slightly. Follow current novels on NoveI~Fire.net

First, Shi Che glanced at Mrs. Shi, then his gaze fell upon Ling Yunshu. His lips parted slightly and he spoke deliberately, "If you have matters to attend to, then go ahead."

Those simple eight words, cold and devoid of emotion, were like a sharp blade, fiercely plunging into Ling Yunshu’s heart.

His tone was colder than one would use with a stranger.

Ling Yunshu’s hands clenched tightly, her complexion turning a shade paler, but she forced a smile, "Yes, Madam, I really do have urgent matters. I must leave now, I will come visit you again when I have time."

Mrs. Shi looked between Shi Che and Ling Yunshu, keenly aware of the stiffness between them. After a moment’s thought, she didn’t insist on keeping Ling Yunshu but still wanted to seize an opportunity for her.

"If that’s the case, then alright, I won’t keep you," she paused, then seemingly casually to Shi Che, "Che’er, it’s getting late, why don’t you give Yun Shu a ride?"

Shi Che’s dark eyes were steady, a flicker of light passing through them quickly. He pressed his lips together, gave Ling Yunshu a glance, and without refusal, nodded indifferently, "Alright."

When the word "alright" reached Ling Yunshu’s ears, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes, staring at Shi Che in astonishment.

Despite his coldness toward her, how could she have anticipated that Shi Che would agree to give her a ride? What did this mean? Could it be that he had changed his mind?

But Shi Che wasn’t looking at her. His voice remained calm and polite but distant, "I’ll go upstairs to change my clothes. Please wait."

As Ling Yunshu watched Shi Che ascend the stairs, her mind was filled with confusion, but after the confusion, a thick wave of joy and pleasure surged within her.
