CHAPTER 739: CHAPTER 738: LING YUNSHU’S REQUEST FOR PEACE (6)

Is this woman out of her mind?

Shi Che’s eyes hadn’t opened yet, but his hand had already grabbed the shoulders of the woman sitting on his lap, about to push her away without any courtesy. However, the moment his hand touched the woman’s shoulders, he felt an inexplicable familiarity. At the same time, being so close, the scent of the woman rushed into his nose, so familiar...

Ling Chuxia?

Shi Che’s dark eyes suddenly opened wide, and the familiar, delicate face appeared before his eyes. The woman in front of him was tilting her head slightly, her black eyes wide open. Her slender arms directly hooked around his neck, blinked her big eyes innocently, and spoke, "Are you sure you want me to leave?"

There was a moment of stillness in Shi Che’s dark eyes; he had never expected Ling Chuxia to turn up here, and he was momentarily at a loss for a response.

Seeing Shi Che staring at her steadily without saying a word, Ling Chuxia pursed her red lips slightly, "It seems you really do want me to leave then, alright, I guess I’ll have to go."

As Ling Chuxia spoke, she let go of Shi Che’s neck and was about to stand up.

But just as she was about to get up, Shi Che’s long arm wrapped around her slender waist, pulling Ling Chuxia back down onto his lap.

Looking up, she met Shi Che’s dark eyes; his eyebrows slightly raised, a faint glow in his eyes, and a crooked smirk on his lips, his deep voice conveyed surprise and gentleness, "What brings you here?"

"Didn’t you order takeout? I brought it to you!"

Ling Chuxia pointed her chin towards the insulated lunch box she had placed on the table, then stretched out her small hand, "Three dishes and a soup, five-star cooking, pay up."

Nowadays, Ling Chuxia was gradually returning to her former self in front of him. Looking at this gesture of asking for money, it was exactly the same as before, not a bit different.

Shi Che’s dark eyes glanced at her small hand stretched out before him, and then his gaze moved up to her face. The curve of his lips grew wider, his voice lazy, "Are you sure you have five-star cooking skills?"

"Of course!" Ling Chuxia lifted her chin, her little face brimming with confidence.

"Then I’ll have to taste it before I can decide how much to pay."

As soon as Shi Che finished speaking, Ling Chuxia was about to say, then taste it, but before she could speak out, Shi Che suddenly clasped the back of her head, and his thin lips covered hers.

The warm, moist touch landed on her lips, Ling Chuxia blinked her big eyes, unable to process what was happening until Shi Che started to pry her lips apart. It was then that Ling Chuxia suddenly snapped out of it, but her dark eyes grew even wider.

Wasn’t he supposed to taste the food? Why was he suddenly kissing her?

Ling Chuxia struggled and tried to ask, but she could only make muffled sounds. Eventually, she just let Shi Che give her a firm French kiss, which lasted a good while before he finally released Ling Chuxia.

Ling Chuxia’s cheeks were flushed, she was panting heavily, leaning in Shi Che’s embrace, catching her breath. Shi Che’s thin lips were near her ear, his deep voice tingling with a tease, "Hmm, confirmed, definitely five-star cooking."

Ling Chuxia’s face, already flushed, turned even redder at Shi Che’s words.

Was this all a mix-up? She had intended to tease Shi Che, and now she found herself being teased instead.

Thinking this, Ling Chuxia stared round-eyed and glared straight at Shi Che. His dark eyes met hers and his voice deepened with a thick tease, "What now? Want me to confirm it again?"
