Shi Che seed to know what Ling Chuxia was thinking, his black eyes fixed on her as he spoke indifferently, "After crossing the road, I will leave."
Ling Chuxia’s brows furrowed instantly. She wanted him to leave now, not after crossing the road, but just as she was about to speak, she caught sight of the unquestionably dominating presence lurking in Shi Che’s seemingly calm and rippleless eyes. The words died in her throat.
It wasn’t that she didn’t dare to say it, but she knew it would be in vain. Why waste her breath?
Ling Chuxia tried hard to suppress the frustration welling up inside her, shot Shi Che a resentful glance, and turned to walk toward the road. He followed at the sa unhurried pace, not one step more, not one step less.
Fortunately, he did keep his promise; once they had crossed the road, he stopped and didn’t continue to follow Ling Chuxia. He stood there, watching her take step by step towards the company.
Even without looking back, Ling Chuxia could feel Shi Che’s gaze firmly on her back. Her spine stiffened involuntarily, she bit her lip forcefully, and quickened her steps to enter the company’s front doors.

Monday mornings were almost always the most languid ti for office workers; everyone dragged through the first few hours with a deadly lethargy until the slightly late noon when all suddenly sprang to life, discussing eagerly what to eat for lunch.
Lin Shasha also made her way to Ling Chuxia’s desk, tapping lightly on it and asking with wide eyes, "Chuxia, what shall we eat for lunch?"
Having barely slept the night before and dragging herself to work in the morning, coupled with her heavy-hearted mood, Ling Chuxia felt too lethargic to move and had no appetite. She shook her head gently, her voice revealing a hint of weakness, "No thanks, I don’t feel like eating. Go ahead without , Shasha."
"Ah, you’re not hungry?"
Lin Shasha surveyed Ling Chuxia’s face puzzledly, noticing her pallor. She couldn’t help but say, "Xiaxia, are you feeling unwell? Should I get you so porridge?"
"It’s not necessary, I..." Ling Chuxia didn’t finish her sentence when suddenly soone at the door called out, "Who is Ling Chuxia?"
Their gazes involuntarily swept over, only to see a young man standing at the door, his hands laden with al boxes. Before Ling Chuxia could react, Lin Shasha had already shouted to him, "Ling Chuxia is here, here!"
Hearing that, the young man approached, looking from Lin Shasha to Ling Chuxia, and asked politely, "May I know which of you is Miss Ling Chuxia?"
Lin Shasha quickly pointed to Ling Chuxia, who raised her eyes slightly to look at the young man and said, "Hello, I am Ling Chuxia."
The young man’s expression beca serious as he placed the al boxes respectfully on Ling Chuxia’s desk, saying, "Miss Chuxia, here is your lunch. Please enjoy, goodbye."
After speaking, the young man turned and walked away, leaving Ling Chuxia frowning in confusion.
She hadn’t ordered a al. Why was it here? Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind—could it be Shi Che?
anwhile, Lin Shasha had already opened the bag and gasped in surprise, recognizing the logo on the al boxes, "Hey, isn’t this Century Hotel’s takeout box? Wow, the dishes here are famously expensive, Xiaxia, no wonder you didn’t want to go out to eat with . Turns out soone sent you sothing even tastier~"
