Ling Yunshu’s words hesitated, though she hadn’t finished speaking, her aning was clear enough. Because she was about to get engaged to Shi Che, she wanted to send Chuxia away as quickly as possible, to prevent her from getting in their way.
Yesterday, Shi Che had said that he had sothing to tell her, which must have been this, right?
Ling Chuxia’s face couldn’t help but turn slightly pale, and she unconsciously bit her lip hard enough to almost draw blood.
Seeing that Ling Chuxia hadn’t spoken for a long ti, Ling Yunshu couldn’t help but call out again, "Xiaxia? Are you still there?"
Ling Chuxia’s eyes rigidly moved, slowly dragging her consciousness back. She swallowed hard and began to speak with a voice that carried a tremble yet was also filled with resolve, "Elder sister, I don’t want to go to the United States."
She didn’t want to go abroad, didn’t want to be exiled to a foreign land, didn’t want to spend those long and hopeless days alone.
"What did you say?" Ling Yunshu’s tone unconsciously rose.
Ling Chuxia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and continued, "Elder sister, I don’t want to go to the United States."
Ling Yunshu hadn’t expected Ling Chuxia to refuse her. Ling Yunshu’s expression quickly darkened, but she couldn’t lose her temper. She forcibly suppressed her anger and softened her voice slightly, "Xiaxia... if you don’t want to go to the United States, then how about England? Italy? Australia? Or Japan? You can choose anywhere you want to go..."
Before Ling Yunshu could finish, Ling Chuxia had already cut her off, "Elder sister, I don’t want to go abroad, no matter which country it is, I just don’t want to go!"
Ling Chuxia’s emotions were sowhat unstable, and as she spoke, her tone naturally beca heavier. Listening on the other end, Ling Yunshu was either scared or sothing else, as she suddenly fell silent.
Even though they were separated by a phone call, both could feel the atmosphere stiffening instantly.
After a while, Ling Chuxia realized that she had beco a bit too emotional. The light in the depths of her eyes dimd as she softly spoke again, "Elder sister... I’m sorry, I...I didn’t an it."
Ling Chuxia had never lost her temper with Ling Yunshu, not even raised her voice. She could be as wild as a monkey in front of anyone, but always a ek little sheep in her presence. So when she suddenly raised her voice just now, that sentence also faintly contained a sense of resistance and complaint. Ling Yunshu was stunned, but once she ca to, she was filled with anger.
Did Ling Chuxia not want to leave because she still had fantasies about Shi Che?
If that were the case, she definitely couldn’t let her stay; she must send her as far away as possible!
"Elder sister, I’ve already divorced Shi Che, I won’t interfere with you two. Please don’t make leave, okay? I really don’t want to go abroad alone." Ling Chuxia’s voice rose again, each word bearing a plea, "If Shi Che is worried...about the Shi family’s reputation, don’t worry, I’ll never show my face in front of you again, I..."
"Xiaxia!"
This ti, it was Ling Yunshu who abruptly cut off Ling Chuxia. Her voice suddenly grew hoarse with a sob, "If you really care about your elder sister, just go. Staying here will only remind that you and Che were once... please, for your sister’s sake..."
Ling Yunshu’s tearful voice gradually entered Ling Chuxia’s ears, and her hand gripping the phone began to tremble.
