CHAPTER 740: CHAPTER 739: LING YUNSHU’S REQUEST FOR PEACE (7)

Chuxia felt as if her cheeks were on fire; she thought she had misjudged Che, assuming he was just a reserved man. But when it came to flirting, he was surprisingly adept. How could she ever compete with him?

Chuxia glared at Che reproachfully and said resentfully, "You’re really annoying!" Though her tone was harsh, her voice involuntarily carried a hint of shyness and coyness.

Che had a meeting later and it was about time. He didn’t continue to tease Chuxia, but instead looked at the thermal lunchbox, "Did you make this yourself?"

"Yes, I thought you would come home to eat, but since you couldn’t, I had to come here," Chuxia replied.

Hearing this, Che’s smile deepened. He had thought Chuxia, that heartless woman, only cared about filling her own stomach, but it turned out she was quite considerate.

He leaned in and kissed Chuxia on the lips again, "Such a good girl."

"That’s right, so hurry up and give me the money!" Chuxia demanded, stretching her hand forward.

"Okay." This time, Che was very straightforward. He pulled out his wallet from his pocket and handed it directly to her, "It’s all yours."

Chuxia clasped the black leather wallet, her eyes sparkling with delight.

She recalled how, during their school days, whenever she asked Che for money, he would hand over his wallet without blinking, letting her spend all the money inside.

Over the years, it had always been like that.

After eating, Che had to go to a meeting. Chuxia initially planned to wait for Che to go home together, but seeing the faint signs of fatigue in her eyes, Che said, "Chuxia, you should go back first. I still have to review documents after the meeting, and I probably won’t come back tonight."

Indeed, Che’s desk was piled high with documents.

Chuxia’s brows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with sympathy, "You’re working so hard; how can I just go home and sleep? I’ll stay here with you."

Even if she couldn’t be of much help, at least she could keep him company.

Although Che was moved by Chuxia’s offer, she had also been running around for nearly the whole day, and he couldn’t bear to let her stay up all night with him.

But if he said that outright, Chuxia would definitely refuse to go home.

A light flickered in Che’s eyes, and a teasing smile appeared on his handsome face, his voice taking on a slightly flirtatious tone, "But Chuxia, if you stay, you’ll distract me."

Distract?

Chuxia didn’t understand the meaning of his words at first, but then she realized, her cheeks flushing red again, "Che, you..."

What on earth was on this man’s mind all day?

"So, let Old Zhu take you back, okay?"

Chuxia puffed her cheeks, slightly displeased. She truly felt sorry for Che and wanted to accompany him, but she also knew Che was more concerned about her, which was why he wouldn’t let her stay.

Her heart warmed even more towards him, and she didn’t argue further, only saying softly, "Then you must make sure to rest and not work too late."

"Mm."

Chuxia picked up her purse and was about to leave, but after just a few steps, she suddenly turned around, tiptoed, and kissed Che’s lips, then turned and walked away.

Che stood there, slightly taken aback for a few seconds. By the time he regained his composure, he only saw Chuxia’s retreating figure. He lightly touched his lips, slowly smiling.

As the car was about to reach the villa, the headlights shone on the front gate, where a slender figure could be vaguely seen standing at the entrance.
