CHAPTER 738: CHAPTER 737: LING YUNSHU’S OFFER OF PEACE (5)

Having said that, Ling Chuxia cut off the call, and Shi Che, listening to the beep-beep-beep in his ear, frowned slightly, discontent flickering in his eyes. He couldn’t have dinner because he was busy with work, and she didn’t show any concern, actually just hanging up on him like that?

Was she heartless? Could it be that now she’s back, she’s going to become as indifferent towards him as before?

Although he knew it was impossible, Shi Che still stewed over his phone for a while before he reluctantly pulled his thoughts back to work, planning to deal with Ling Chuxia when he got home.

-

After hanging up the call, Ling Chuxia went straight into the kitchen, took out a thermal lunch box, rinsed it with clean water, then, carrying it out, she poured the food from the table into it and fastened the lid.

She went upstairs to grab her bag, then, with the lunch box in hand, headed for the door.

Yes, Shi Che couldn’t come home to have dinner with her, but she could go to have dinner with Shi Che.

Chuxia smiled as she touched the thermal lunch box, walked out the door, and Old Zhu was there, wiping a car. He paused his work and respectfully said to Ling Chuxia, "Miss Chuxia, are you going out?"

"Yes," Ling Chuxia nodded lightly. "Old Zhu, could you drive me to the company?"

Old Zhu’s gaze instinctively swept over the lunch box Ling Chuxia was holding, then he smiled knowingly and immediately replied, "Of course, Miss Chuxia."

-

Shi Che had spent the afternoon going through hundreds of documents, feeling somewhat dizzy and with a headache. He set his pen down, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his temples with his long fingers.

Looking at his watch, he realised it was already past nine in the evening.

At this time, perhaps Chuxia had finished eating, and was already lying in bed asleep, while he was still working on an empty stomach. And yet, this woman hadn’t spared him an extra word of care.

Shi Che shook his head somewhat helplessly and reached for the phone to dial the internal line. As soon as it connected, he ordered, "Order me some takeaway."

He had a video conference at ten, and he had no idea when it would end, so he had to eat something first.

"Okay, President Shi."

After Xiao Zhao’s response, Shi Che hung up the phone.

Twenty minutes later, someone knocked on the office door. Shi Che, leaning on his chair and pretending to nap, didn’t open his eyes but said with a deep voice, "Come in."

The door opened and footsteps approached. Shi Che spoke indifferently, "Put the takeaway on the table and leave."

The footsteps came closer step by step, and Shi Che heard the sound of something being placed down. However, the footsteps didn’t retreat as he had instructed, but continued moving towards him. Shi Che’s frown deepened as he listened to the light steps, sounding like a woman, and wondered who was so audacious as to approach him against his orders.

Where was Xiao Zhao? Why let a woman into his office so casually?

Shi Che still didn’t open his eyes, but his voice had darkened as he said, "No matter who you are, get out of my office this instant."

In the company, Shi Che was an absolute ruler. Indeed, many women admired him, but none dared to get too close. Usually, one cold glance from him was enough to make people tremble.

Unexpectedly, instead of being scared away by his words, the woman didn’t stop and, in fact, walked even closer and suddenly sat down straight on Shi Che’s lap.

A gloom quickly covered Shi Che’s handsome face.
