CHAPTER 736: CHAPTER 735: LING YUNSHU’S REQUEST FOR PEACE (3)

Although she didn’t open the message, she could read a line or two from the screen.

"Xiaxia, these past days I’ve thought a lot. I was truly wrong, and I was truly too selfish. I know nothing I say now can make up for my mistakes, but Xiaxia..."

The rest of the content wasn’t displayed.

Miss Chuxia really didn’t want to bother with anything related to Ling Yunshu anymore, but upon seeing the above sentences, her pupils still subtly constricted.

On the day she confronted Ling Yunshu, she didn’t see any trace of regret in her demeanor or tone, so how could her heart not hurt? If, at that time, there had been even a slight sense of remorse, she might not have been so angry. Now, she finally realized she was wrong? Had she realized too late?

Moreover, could a simple "I was wrong" redeem everything?

Miss Chuxia closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fist, and then she opened the message, not continuing to read its content but instead directly deleting it.

Her mood upon returning to the villa was still ruined.

Miss Chuxia had initially wanted to call Shi Che, but her mood was so glum. If she called Shi Che and he sensed her bad mood, it might affect his mood and his work too. Better not.

Miss Chuxia put away her phone, stood still for a moment, and not wishing to let Ling Yunshu affect her mood further, she left the bedroom, went downstairs, and prepared to visit her small garden.

The villa, although uninhabited, was still spotless because Aunt Zhu would regularly come to clean. However, her small garden was a different story; Aunt Zhu might help with watering but wouldn’t tend to the pruning and other maintenance.

She had been away for several months, and the flowers and plants must have grown wild. Yet, as Miss Chuxia stepped into the garden, the sight before her wasn’t as unkempt as she had imagined. It didn’t look like it had been neglected for months, and her footsteps halted in surprise.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded from behind her. Miss Chuxia came back to her senses slightly and a flicker of brightness passed through her eyes. Could it be that Shi Che had come back? She swiftly turned around, only to see Aunt Zhu approaching.

Aunt Zhu, seeing Miss Chuxia, was extremely happy and instinctively exclaimed, "Young Madam, you’re back."

After saying this, Aunt Zhu realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself, "Miss Chuxia."

Miss Chuxia didn’t particularly mind; she gently curved her lips in a smile and nodded at Aunt Zhu, "Aunt Zhu, long time no see."

Aunt Zhu, full of excitement, said, "Old Zhu just told me you had come back, I couldn’t believe it. Miss Chuxia, welcome back."

Miss Chuxia was also pleased, her eyes smiling as she glanced at the plants and couldn’t help but ask, "Aunt Zhu, have you been taking care of this garden since I left?"

Aunt Zhu shook her head, "I’m just an old lady; how could I handle these things? At most, I help water them daily."

"Then... who could it be?" Miss Chuxia was about to ask, but then a figure flashed through her mind. Could it be?

Sure enough, Aunt Zhu continued, "Since you left, the young master has been taking care of it."

It was really Shi Che...

Shi Che had never had patience for these plants, and yet, she never expected he could manage her small garden so well. According to Aunt Zhu, that must have been during his most desperate times.

Miss Chuxia thought she had understood the depth of Shi Che’s feelings for her, but returning here, she realized that her previous understanding was merely superficial.
