Chapter 583: Chapter 583

Even just glimpsing her from a distance was enough for him.

Shi Che slowly withdrew his gaze, a trace of warmth unwittingly creeping into his black pupils as he spoke in a calm voice, "Go to Baishi Group."

Baishi Group was the company where Ling Chuxia worked.

Due to it being the end of the working day, there was some traffic congestion, and by the time the car reached Baishi Group, it was already past six o’clock. With the arrival of autumn, the darkness fell early, and the sky at six was already a dusky grey.

It seemed that most employees had already left the office, and now only a few sparse individuals occasionally exited the building.

Xiao Li had not been following Shi Che for long, but from those ten days’ observation, the relationship between Shi Che and that Secretary Ling seemed somewhat unusual, and Secretary Ling happened to be an employee of this company. President Shi’s visit now must be for Secretary Ling’s sake, right?

Xiao Li glanced at Shi Che through the rearview mirror and cautiously said, "President Shi, at this time, I think Secretary Ling must have finished work."

Shi Che gave him a brief look with his dark eyes, causing Xiao Li to instinctively shrink his head, not daring to speak further.

Shi Che’s gaze slowly fell upon the entrance of the building; it was empty, with hardly anyone coming out anymore. He knew very well that Ling Chuxia might have already left work, but for some reason, he felt that she hadn’t, that she was still inside, and he was certain he could wait for her.

Time ticked away by the minute, and the sky grew even darker.

Shi Che sat quietly in the car, gently tapping his fingers, one tap at a time. He was not a patient person by nature, always demanding efficiency in his endeavors. However, at this moment, as he sat there, idly waiting, he felt not the slightest impatience.

It was as if all the patience he had in his life he was willing to spend only on Ling Chuxia.

Maybe it truly was a case of "great minds think alike," because after waiting for more than an hour, someone slowly emerged from the building. Shi Che looked over, and his eyes fixated on her in an instant.

She seemed even thinner than before he had left, and from this distance, he couldn’t see her complexion, but her delicate frame appeared as if a gust of wind could blow her away. Shi Che’s hand clenched involuntarily, a wave of intense heartache washing over him.

Had she not been taking care of herself? Not eating properly?

Shi Che’s hand instinctively gripped the car lock, an irresistible urge to open the door and get out washed over him. But in an instant, he restrained himself.

He couldn’t act impulsively now.

The last words Ling Chuxia said to him were still vivid in his memory: she didn’t want to see him, and should they meet, she would treat him as a stranger.

He couldn’t approach her directly now.

Shi Che leaned back into the seat, somewhat dejectedly, his gaze following her as he spoke in a low voice, "Xiao Li, follow her, but don’t let her notice." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by nοvelfire.net

"Understood, President Shi," Xiao Li acknowledged, and started the car, slowly following.

Ling Chuxia passed a street corner where a black Audi was parked. A man was leaning lazily against the car, idly fiddling with his phone. Upon seeing Ling Chuxia approach, he put away his phone and smiled at her.

Ling Chuxia smiled back and the man opened the passenger door to let her in before he circled around to the driver’s side, got in the car, and they drove off into the flow of traffic.
