Ji Xinxin glanced at Ling Chuxia’s complexion, her brows lifting as dissatisfaction imdiately appeared in her tone, "Ling Chuxia, don’t tell you’re rushing ho again?"
Ling Chuxia indeed had to rush ho, as Shi Che had said he would return for dinner that evening, and she wanted to be there with him. However, she had not seen Ji Xinxin in a long ti and didn’t know how to refuse.
As Ling Chuxia furrowed her brows thinking about what to say, Ji Xinxin slamd her palm on the table, glaring at Ling Chuxia, "Ling Chuxia! Would you rather go ho to face an empty house where you can’t eat anything than have a al with ? Do you want our friendship to end now?"
Startled by Ji Xinxin’s slap, Ling Chuxia quickly shook her head, not even having ti to think of what to say, she blurted out, "No, it’s not that, Shi Che is coming ho tonight, I need to go back."
Ji Xinxin humd dismissively, "You think I would believe that?"
A person who hasn’t co ho in years, would he suddenly return?
Ling Chuxia was about to explain when her phone rang. She had to answer it first. Pulling open her purse, she took out her phone, which flashed with the characters "Young Master."
Ling Chuxia glanced at Ji Xinxin, pressed the answer button, and put the phone to her ear, softly saying, "Young Master."
Ji Xinxin’s gaze sharply froze on her face.
From the other end of the phone, Shi Che’s familiar deep and elegant voice ca, "Where are you?"
"Xinxin is back in the country. I ca out to et her for a bit. We are at the usual coffee place we go to."
Shi Che made a soft noise of acknowledgnt, then said, "When will you leave? I’ll co and pick you up."
Ling Chuxia looked at Ji Xinxin again, took a deep breath, and then said, "I can leave now. But you don’t have to co get , I can go ho by myself."
"I’ll be there in thirty minutes," Shi Che said, as if he hadn’t heard her words. With that, the call ended abruptly.
Listening to the dial tone on the phone, Ling Chuxia pursed her lips and slowly put down the phone.
Across from her, Ji Xinxin laughed coldly again, "You can’t even stay with for thirty minutes, and the mont your husband calls, you can’t wait to leave. It seems our friendship really is over!"
"Xinxin, I..." Ling Chuxia began to explain, but Ji Xinxin dismissively waved her hand before she could finish, "Just go, I don’t want to be a third wheel."
Although Ji Xinxin spoke with an impatient tone, Ling Chuxia simply curled her lips. After so many years of friendship, there was no need for words, for she understood her friend’s difficulties.
Ling Chuxia smiled at Ji Xinxin, didn’t rush to stand up, but instead spoke softly, "I can still stay with you for thirty minutes."

Due to Shi Che’s company being close to the café, his car arrived at the coffee house’s entrance in less than thirty minutes.
Seeing the car, Ling Chuxia apologetically gestured to Ji Xinxin before standing up and leaving.
Ling Chuxia opened the passenger door, sat in, and buckled her seatbelt, but noticed that Shi Che hadn’t driven off. Perplexed, she looked up to see him already watching her. Their eyes t.
Shi Che’s eyes were deep and dark. Silently watching her, Ling Chuxia, still accustod to it, lowered her eyes, unable to et his gaze. Shi Che’s brow furrowed, but he slowly began to speak, "Does your head still hurt?"
Ling Chuxia hadn’t expected him to rember that. Her heart ward instantly, and she shook her head, "It doesn’t hurt anymore."
