As she spoke, her tone beca sowhat worried, "Young Madam is out there alone, I don’t know if she can take care of herself, sigh..."
Sister Hua spoke while entering the kitchen with audible sighs.
When Sister Hua had finished putting things away in the kitchen and ca out, there was no one in the Dining Hall. Her eyes brightened as she walked to the living room to look outside, just in ti to see Shi Che getting into his car, starting it, and driving out of the gate.
She stood still, watching until she couldn’t see him anymore, then she couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.

Ling Chuxia hung up the phone, stood on the balcony for a while, then went back inside the room. Ji Xinxin was sitting in front of the makeup vanity applying makeup. Hearing footsteps, she didn’t turn her head and asked, "Who called you? Was it that housekeeper again? Telling you to co ho?"
Ling Chuxia gently humd in acknowledgnt. Ji Xinxin imdiately laughed sarcastically, "The calls that should co don’t, and the ones that shouldn’t are always so diligent."
Ling Chuxia’s eyes drooped, and she didn’t say anything, but her hand involuntarily gripped her phone tight.
Ji Xinxin slamd down the eyelash curler in her hand, turned around, and glared at Ling Chuxia, her voice fierce, "Xiaxia, I’m telling you, you absolutely must not go back easily this ti. If that bastard doesn’t properly apologize to you—no, even if he does apologize, you still need to think it over before deciding whether to go back or not."
Ling Chuxia knew Ji Xinxin was looking out for her best interests, but she didn’t want to talk about this subject right now. She pursed her lips, looked up at her, and bluntly changed the topic, "Xinxin, are you going out later?"
Ji Xinxin glanced at Ling Chuxia with contempt, tired of her constant avoidance, but she still answered, "Yes, going out, on a blind date!!"
She practically spat out the last two words through clenched teeth.
Only then did Ling Chuxia rember that in the past few days, Mother Ji had called several tis a day urging Ji Xinxin, who had been putting her off. After being angered, Mother Ji threatened to co over herself if Ji Xinxin didn’t comply, which forced Ji Xinxin to agree through gritted teeth.
Even in a sullen mood, watching Ji Xinxin’s usual queenly deanor could drive anyone into a corner, and Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but let out a light laugh before speaking softly, "Then dress up nicely and try to make a good impression. I think the person Auntie has introduced won’t be too bad. You’re already twenty-five; it’s ti to start seeing soone seriously."
Ji Xinxin scoffed unapologetically, "I do need to dress up properly, make sure to give him a shock. After eting for the first ti, he’ll wish to never cross paths with again."
"...!"
Afterward, Ji Xinxin’s preparation was so extre that when Ling Chuxia saw her, she was completely taken aback, at a loss for words. The grand Heavenly Empress, a great beauty, was willing to tarnish her image—a clear sign of how dissatisfied she was with her mother’s arrangent.
Ji Xinxin, ignoring Ling Chuxia’s shocked expression, casually grabbed her bag and left. Before she left, she turned to Ling Chuxia and said, "You sort out dinner for yourself tonight, there’s everything in the fridge. I’ll bring back sothing tasty for you when I return, behave, okay?"
Ling Chuxia watched Ji Xinxin leave, then shook her head with a light laugh. She closed the door, turned around and went into the kitchen, approaching the fridge and pulling open the door—indeed, it was packed with things, but... Ling Chuxia randomly picked sothing out and checked the date—it was already expired.
Ling Chuxia bit her lower lip lightly, slowly closed the fridge door, then picked up her wallet and phone, opened the door, went downstairs, and prepared to go to the supermarket across from the apartnt to buy so things.
