Shi Che wanted to pull his hand back immediately, but looking at her cautious appearance, he ultimately couldn't do it. He turned his hand over and grasped Ling Chuxia's hand, pulling it towards him.
He lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on her hand, with its slender, fair fingers. He played with them for a moment, then spoke calmly, "Chuxia, do you know what I thought when I found out that Xiao Chen and Ling Yunshu were behind what happened that night?"
Ling Chuxia never expected Shi Che to suddenly talk about this, leaving her momentarily stunned and unable to respond.
However, it seemed Shi Che didn't need her to answer, as he continued, "I thought, why did I let Ling Yunshu off so easily back then?"
"If that time, I had given her a proper lesson, then perhaps she wouldn't have been able to continue hurting you. You wouldn't have suffered for such a long time."
