Shi Che had just co out of the bathroom when Ling Chuxia had straightened out her disheveled clothes and was sitting quietly by the bed.
While drying his wet hair, Shi Che stepped out, and Ling Chuxia, out of habit, stood up and followed him to the couch. Once he sat down, she took the towel from Shi Che and began to dry his hair for him.
Shi Che glanced at her but said nothing.
As Chuxia dried his hair, she stealthily observed Shi Che’s expression. Seeing his indifferent expression, though there was still a slight frown between his brows, she couldn’t discern any sign of anger. She thought about the earlier phone call from Mrs. Shi, gathered her words, and then spoke, "Young Master... Madam asked us to co ho for a al tomorrow."
Mrs. Shi had called her earlier. Chuxia thought she was calling to inquire about their progress, but unexpectedly, she was rely instructing her to bring Shi Che back for a al.
This task seed simple, but it was actually quite challenging. After getting married, Shi Che rarely visited his family ho, and even though Mrs. Shi ntioned it all the ti, he showed little response.
As expected, as soon as she ntioned it, Shi Che’s brow furrowed slightly, and Chuxia’s heart fluttered with apprehension, knowing that this task would not be so easy.
Yet, she had to bring Shi Che ho tomorrow, because she could sowhat guess the aning behind Mrs. Shi’s call at this ti. It was simply to see how their relationship had progressed recently.
She needed to show Mrs. Shi that her relationship with Shi Che had improved significantly, so that after a week, when the results ca out, if she was indeed so unfortunate as to fail, she could still plead their case with Mrs. Shi.
She took a deep breath, preparing to continue persuading him, but Shi Che spoke first, his tone indifferent, "Okay."
Chuxia had a whole set of argunts ready, but they were suddenly stuck in her throat. Her eyes widened slightly, staring at Shi Che in disbelief.
Why... why did he agree so quickly? Didn’t he always dislike going back to the family ho?
Due to her shock, she unknowingly stopped drying his hair. Shi Che glanced back and saw her staring, eyes wide open, and he couldn’t help but curl his lips, "What? Are you not satisfied?"
Not satisfied? How could she not be satisfied? She was satisfied! Very satisfied!
Chuxia hurriedly nodded, over and over, fearing that if her nods were delayed even slightly, Shi Che would change his mind. Watching her delighted expression, Shi Che’s smile deepened.

The next day.
Chuxia was planning to go back with Shi Che, but unexpectedly he was delayed by a last-minute urgent matter at the company, and she did not want to keep Mrs. Shi waiting, so she went to the old house alone.
Mrs. Shi was still as dignified and elegant as ever, sitting on the couch and sizing Chuxia up before smiling warmly, "Che’er has agreed to co back today, it seems you two have been getting along quite well."
Chuxia bent her lips gently and humd softly.
Mrs. Shi nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and said to Chuxia, "Co, let’s take a walk in the garden."
Chuxia quickly stepped forward, supported Mrs. Shi’s hand, and accompanied her toward the garden.
The Shi Family’s garden was vast, especially at the peak of sumr. The flowers vied brilliantly against each other in a riot of colors, exceptionally beautiful, and even attracted fluttering butterflies.
Mrs. Shi walked for a while before continuing, "How are things going with the child?"
Chuxia’s heart chilled slightly—she knew, the inevitable had still co.
