To cage Shi Che’s heart?
Ling Chuxia’s dark pupils involuntarily widened as she stared blankly at Sister Hua, her eyes revealing endless confusion.
For her, this marriage was atonent—a redemption for her elder sister, a promise to her elder sister. That’s why she’d been gritting her teeth and enduring, holding on.
Her only thought was to wait for her elder sister’s return, then divorce Shi Che, allowing him and her elder sister to be together again, to make up for the mistakes of the past.
But now, soone was telling her to cage Shi Che’s heart? Did that an, wanting Shi Che to fall in love with her?
This thought flashed through her mind, and Ling Chuxia shuddered violently, then imdiately shook her head vigorously.
How could that be possible?
Impossible!
Shi Che didn’t even like her, not even a bit! At most, his disdain for her had lessened, and the care he showed her was only because of her elder sister.
Every ti he treated her well, it was because of her elder sister.
She didn’t know if she was too scared to think about it, or simply unwilling, but after emphatically denying these thoughts, she forcefully suppressed those terrifying notions deep into her heart.
She didn’t want to hear Sister Hua say any more, so she spoke softly, interrupting Sister Hua, "Sister Hua, I think I’m feeling a bit hungry."
Although this change of topic was sowhat abrupt, Sister Hua was happy to hear that she was willing to eat, and without thinking much about it, she exclaid joyfully, "Okay, I’ll help you get up."
Ling Chuxia nodded and let Sister Hua carefully help her sit up against the headboard, then she picked up the porridge and handed it to her.
Ling Chuxia truly had little appetite, but in order not to let her thoughts wander, she forced herself to focus on eating and managed to finish the bowl of porridge.
After Sister Hua took the dishes out, the bedroom fell quiet again. Ling Chuxia leaned against the headboard, and although she had forcefully quelled those chaotic thoughts, once she was alone again, they spread uncontrollably like air.
Ling Chuxia suddenly clenched her fists tightly and, without hesitation, grabbed her cell phone, pulled up her photo album, and found a picture of her with Ling Yunshu.
Her gaze landed on that photo, on her elder sister’s visage, and the mont she saw her elder sister’s picture, the turmoil in her heart began to fade away unconsciously, bit by bit.
Because, as soon as she saw that picture, she rembered her responsibility, her promise, and that she should dismiss all the thoughts that she should not have.
Ling Chuxia stared at the photo for a good while, finally clearing her mind of all distractions. She let out a slight sigh of relief, but just as she was about to put her phone away, her hand paused.
Shi Che had specifically called Sister Hua, asking her to take good care of her; whether it was for her elder sister or sothing else, shouldn’t she at least thank him?
Only, she was a bit afraid to call him because even over the phone, she always felt uncomfortable, prone to misspeaking. But if she didn’t call, how would she thank Shi Che?
Ling Chuxia pondered for a mont and slowly accessed her phone’s ssaging function.
Her fingers typed on the screen, "Sister Hua said you specifically asked her to take care of ..."
But before she finished, she deleted it letter by letter, thought for a mont, and began typing again, "Sister Hua took very good care of , don’t worry about ."
No matter how she looked at it, it felt awkward. Ling Chuxia furrowed her brows, eventually deleting everything again.
After pondering with a frown for a long ti, she finally sent only two words: Thank you.
