CHAPTER 774: CHAPTER 773: CONFESSION (3)

Shi Che’s lips also curled up slightly, but he deliberately didn’t give her an answer, just countered with a question, "What do you think?"

Ling Chuxia looked at Shi Che, his black eyes as deep and inscrutable as always, the light in the depths of his eyes fluctuating, his smile ambiguous, making it utterly impossible to read his emotions.

After a while, Ling Chuxia gave up. After all, from the past till now, she had never been able to see through Shi Che. She nodded to herself and said, "Definitely!"

Shi Che smiled and responded, "If you say it’s so, then it is."

The two had breakfast, and then Ling Chuxia went upstairs to pack her suitcase. It had been a long time since she had gone on a trip. The last time was probably when they were on their honeymoon. Therefore, at this moment, Ling Chuxia’s mood was exceptionally excited, so excited that she temporarily forgot the troubles weighing on her heart.

Because they were packing for two, Ling Chuxia chose a larger suitcase. She spread it open on the floor and then opened her wardrobe, contemplating which clothes to bring.

Having been to Pulomansi once before, she had gathered quite a lot of information and knew that it had a typical Mediterranean climate – winter was mild, summer was hot, and this season was neither cold nor hot, a season of clear, crisp autumn skies. So, the clothes she needed to bring should not be too thick, but also not too thin. Having made up her mind, she began to pack the clothes.

When Shi Che walked into the bedroom, Ling Chuxia was packing with great enthusiasm, her small figure busily moving about, occasionally humming a tune, her face lit up with a radiant smile, none of the despondency from yesterday to be seen.

His dark eyes watched her intently, his lips gradually lifting into a smile. He hoped his girl could always maintain such a smile. To protect that smile, he was willing to do anything.

-

Xiao Zhao had booked a two o’clock flight for them. Ling Chuxia and Shi Che arrived at the airport at one o’clock, checked in, and then waited in the VIP lounge.

Ling Chuxia’s mood stayed in an excited and spirited state, chatting away to Shi Che about where they would visit in Pulomansi.

The last time she had put a lot of thought into planning their itinerary, yet they had only visited one or two places. This time, she was determined to visit all the places they had planned to see before.

Shi Che listened quietly to her, then nodded and smiled in agreement.

Once on the plane, Ling Chuxia continued her chatter, speaking animatedly, her face aglow with vibrant colors. Shi Che listened to her while buckling her seatbelt. He took out a light blanket from the carry-on bag, spread it over her, and then called a flight attendant to bring over a cup of warm water.

When Ling Chuxia got thirsty from all the talking, Shi Che handed her a cup of warm water right on time, which she gulped down steadily and then sighed with satisfaction.

Shi Che took back the blanket from her hand, and seeing her lips wet with water, he gently wiped it away with the warmth of his fingertips. Ling Chuxia’s eyes crinkled into a smile at him.

A senior couple sat next to their seats, and the old lady, watching every move of Shi Che and Ling Chuxia, couldn’t help but smile and said, "You’re newlyweds, aren’t you? Such a good relationship."

Hearing the old lady’s words, Ling Chuxia’s cheeks flushed slightly. She and Shi Che were not newlyweds but... a divorced couple?

In contrast, Shi Che nodded faintly and hummed a sound of agreement, lying without any sign of embarrassment.
