Ling Chuxia was startled and quickly averted her eyes, pretending as if nothing had happened as she looked out the car window. When Shi Che turned his head, he could only see her profile.
Today, her hair was loosely coiled up, revealing her delicate face. Her cheeks were a rosy pink, and her red lips were tender and dewy-tempting. Shi Che's gaze involuntarily fell upon her lips, recalling the kiss that had been interrupted moments ago. His dark eyes deepened, and his throat felt a touch dry.
Ling Chuxia sensed Shi Che's gaze on her, deep and with a hint of heat, which caused her heart to flutter and her breathing to become slightly erratic.
She had never realized before that Shi Che looked at her with such warmth, without any hint of disgust or coldness. Instead… there was a touch of tenderness, a trace of longing.
Wasn't this the kind of look one would have when gazing at someone they liked?
