Shi Che left behind a hurtful remark and buttoned up his shirt. He grabbed his coat and wallet before he strode out of the room. On his way out, he slammed the door forcefully with a thunderous bang.
Tools…
Ling Chuxia’s eyebrow twitched and her face paled slightly. Regardless of Ling Chuxia’s humble background, she had her feelings, she had her moods. In the past whenever Shi Che had been brutal and curt to her, she would be miserable and hurt. However as time passed by, she got used to them.
This time was different. Being described as a tool was too much for her, it pierced her heart.
Ling Chuxia was aware that Shi Che had disliked her all along. However, it was beyond her imagination that his disdain for her was so overpowering.
His utter disgust for her would mean he would not wish to have babies with her…
Ling Chuxia was momentarily deflated and despaired.
During these three years, she was walking on thin ice, and she toed the line to stay by Shi Che’s side as his dutiful wife, wanting to please him. It did not matter what adjustments she had made, it did not matter how she pandered to him, he was always dissatisfied with her. He was frequently agonized by her. She had truly exhausted all means. She was at her wits’ end on what else she could do…

Shi Che headed straight to the basement car park to get his car. He was about to unlock the car door with his keys, but his fingers were trembling and the shaking prevented him from unlocking his car. Exasperated, he threw the car key onto the floor.
Shi Che’s chauffeur, Mr. Zhu, dashed from behind, saw this scene and his heart skipped a beat. He held his breath as he sped up to pick up the car key from the floor. He offered in a low yet respectful voice, “Young Master, let me help you.”
He retrieved the car key and pressed the central locking mechanism to unlock the car and its doors. Moving over to pull open the passenger back door, he urged politely, “Please, Young Master.”
Shi Che stood rooted to the ground for quite a while before he bent forward to enter the car.
Mr. Zhu closed the car door and deftly moved to the driver’s side, pulled open the door, and sat inside. He raised his eye to observe Shi Chi through the rear mirror. His solemn face was restored once more to his usually handsome face, though it was expressionless. His icy cold demeanor could be likened to an ice statue, successfully concealing his emotions.
Mr. Zhu had known Shi Che since he was a young boy, nothing could have escaped his eyes, he knew that his young master was in a foul mood.
She Che had always been calm and restrained. He was always able to maintain his cool aura at all times, except when he was with… the Young Mistress.
Whenever Shi Che lost his cool and flew into a rage, there was a causation link to the Young Mistress most of the time.
Mr. Zhu had failed to comprehend his Young Master’s intention. He had noticed Shi Che’s adoration for the Young Mistress. Whenever he needed to travel for work, he would always try to shorten his trip in order to take the earliest flight back home. When the plane touched down, he would rush home immediately.
Take today, for instance, it was already 10 pm when he had finished his business dinner. He had a few social drinks. Mr. Zhu had advised him to check into a hotel for the night before taking a flight home. However, he had insisted on leaving for the airport as soon as possible.
On his business trips to various overseas places, he would always find time in his busyness to do some shopping. He would take time to find his wife some meaningful gifts.
This time was no exception. He had brought gifts for his wife.
