In Shi Che's eyes, she saw the long-missing deep affection and indulgent gentleness. His hand caressed her face gently, as if he were touching the most precious treasure.
Such a look in Shi Che's eyes, this gentleness, unconsciously made Ling Chuxia recall the early months of their marriage.
Back then, the way he looked at her was just like now—full of affection, indulgence, and gentleness, tolerating her no matter how willful or overbearing she was. If she hadn't known clearly that Shi Che favored her elder sister, she might have almost believed that Shi Che's affection was for her.
Then, she wondered if Shi Che looked at her in that way because... he was seeing her elder sister through her? After all, she and her elder sister looked exactly alike, didn't they?
So now, was he also missing her elder sister through her?
The wildly beating heart of Ling Chuxia just a moment ago, due to this thought, unknowingly calmed down. Her heart felt somewhat stuffy and even a bit stinging.
