CHAPTER 748: CHAPTER 747 OUR AGREEMENT HAS ENDED (5)

"Xiaxia?" Shen Qian’s voice slightly rose, a teasing glimmer in his eyes, "It seems Che’s revolution was successful; he managed to kidnap you back."

Ling Chuxia blushed slightly at Shen Qian’s words. She didn’t respond to his comment and instead softly said, "Young Master Shen, long time no see."

Ling Chuxia’s gaze swept over Shen Qian’s handsome face. Compared to other men, his skin was extremely pale, making the five finger marks on the right side of his face particularly clear. Also, there was a slight break in the skin on his lower lip, currently oozing a trace of blood, looking somewhat disheveled.

She didn’t want to mock Shen Qian, but having known him from childhood, she had never seen him like this and couldn’t help but slightly curl her lips.

Shen Qian was also aware of his current disheveled appearance, so he lost interest in continuing the conversation with Ling Chuxia. After a few indifferent words, he took his leave.

Ling Chuxia watched Shen Qian’s departing figure, stood at the door for a moment, then reached out to push open the dressing room door.

The door opened, and Ling Chuxia saw Ji Xinxin sitting in front of the vanity, emotionlessly touching up her makeup. She looked calm, but having been good friends with her for so many years, Ling Chuxia knew well the rage simmering beneath that calm facade.

She quietly stepped inside.

Ji Xinxin heard the footsteps enter. She didn’t look up; it was either the agent or an assistant, or that damn Shen returning. She didn’t want to see anyone at the moment.

"Get out!" Ji Xinxin opened her mouth and sharply spat out the command.

Ling Chuxia knew she must be feeling irritated, but she wasn’t deterred by these words and continued to walk in.

Hearing the footsteps, Ji Xinxin’s anger boiled up uncontrollably. She suddenly stood up, and the powder box in her hand slammed heavily onto the vanity, her voice cold as ice, "Didn’t you hear me telling you to get out?"

She scolded, her eyes sweeping over to Ling Chuxia’s direction only to realize, to her surprise, the person who entered was Ling Chuxia.

Ling Chuxia involuntarily stopped in her tracks, slightly lifting her gaze with a gentle look, her red lips parting softly, "Xinxin."

A flicker of astonishment and delight quickly passed through Ji Xinxin’s eyes, but the next second, remembering Ling Chuxia’s unannounced departure and the complete lack of contact for months, her expression darkened again. She snorted coldly, "Who are you?"

After dropping those three words, Ji Xinxin arrogantly sat back down, not even glancing at her.

Ling Chuxia, undeterred by her mood at the moment, quickly stepped forward, stretching out her arms and embracing Ji Xinxin, "Xinxin, I’m back."

Ji Xinxin, suddenly hugged, frowned deeply, her words still quite inhospitable. "Does anyone know you?"

After saying this, she disdainfully tried to push Ling Chuxia away, but before she could, Ling Chuxia hugged her again, softly speaking, "Xinxin, I’m sorry I worried you these past months."

Ji Xinxin still tried to push Ling Chuxia away, but she held on tightly, and with her continuously apologizing, Ji Xinxin couldn’t stay angry. At last, she spoke with apparent impatience, "Yeah, yeah, fine, you’re annoying. Let go of me; it’s too hot."

Ling Chuxia knew Ji Xinxin had forgiven her. She finally let go, smiling with her eyes curving joyfully.

Although Ji Xinxin had been very upset, seeing Ling Chuxia return safe and unharmed somewhat improved her mood. She glanced at Ling Chuxia and asked, "When did you get back?"
