h4Chapter 452: Chapter 451 Unable to Love Someone Again (17)/h4

    Ji Xinxin?

    Shi Che waved his hand and let the servant go. A trace of doubt flickered through the depths of his eyes. After a moment, he took out his phone and dialed Ji Xinxin’s number.

    -

    Ji Xinxin had just woken up and was nning to go for a nice breakfast with Ling Chuxia, then drive to the suburbs for some rxation. However, when she woke up and scanned the house, she didn’t see Ling Chuxia anywhere. Eventually, she found a note pressed under her phone on the bedside table.

    Ji Xinxin’s brows furrowed as she reached out and pulled out the note. Ling Chuxia’s elegant handwriting appeared before her.

    Xinxin, I’m sorry, please forgive my sudden departure. Everything that happened here feels like a dream—good, bad, happy, unhappy. Now that I’m awake from the dream, I should find my new life. I believe I will eventually break free from this dream’s bonds.

    Once I settle down, I’ll contact you. Until then, may I ask for a little more time to hide? Also, if you could, please look after my elder sister. Thank you. — Chuxia

    Reading this, Ji Xinxin’s eyes widened in shock, her hand holding the note trembling uncontrobly.

    Damn it! She had observed Ling Chuxia for the past few days, and aside from looking somewhat despondent, there wasn’t any other sign of her nning to leave silently. And... and she didn’t even tell her where she was going or how she nned to live?

    With her, having grown up in the Shi Family’s home and getting married right after graduation—she had never lived or worked on her own, nor did she have much money. Now leaving all by herself, where could she go?

    Ji Xinxin was instantly filled with anger and urgency. She grabbed her phone and dialed Ling Chuxia’s mobile number, pressing the phone to her ear only to hear a cold, mechanical voice, "The number you have dialed is switched off..."

    Damn it! Ji Xinxin threw her phone onto the bed, cursing under her breath.

    Suddenly, the phone rang again. Ji Xinxin’s eyes lit up. She pounced onto the bed, grabbed the phone, and answered it eagerly, about to shout "Xiaxia" when Shi Che’s deep voice came through, "It’s me, Shi Che."

    The joy in Ji Xinxin’s eyes vanished as soon as she heard Shi Che’s voice. She pursed her lips and coldly hummed a response, unwilling to say anything more to him.

    "You came to see me yesterday, did you need something?"

    If it had been yesterday, if she hadn’t heard Chuxia’s confession, if she hadn’t seen Chuxia’s letter, she would have furiously denounced Shi Che, called him a heartbreaker, and showed him the finesse of humannguage.

    But now, she was worried about Chuxia’s situation, not having time for him. Moreover... Chuxia had said in her letter, the past was just a dream to her, and now, she was off to find her new life.

    Given that, why should she tangle herself in Chuxia’s dream? Chuxia leaving that bastard Shi Che would surely be better off. He didn’t want Chuxia but wanted that utterly fake Ling Yunshu. In the future, he would surely regret it!

    "Something? What matter? Oh, I almost forgot, there is something indeed—the fact that I’m overjoyed that our Xiaxia has finally escaped your clutches. She won’t have to wait foolishly alone for hours for that bastard who neveres home!"
