Upon hearing those two words, she stood frozen on the spot. Chuxia? Why was someone calling for Chuxia?
And this question was soon answered. No, it was more correct to say that all of her questions were answered.
She stood at the doorway listening through the door to the man she loved pour out his heart to another woman, shyly confessing his feelings to her, expressing his affection to her.
She had always believed that Shi Che hadn't shown any feelings for her merely because he was a reserved person who preferred to keep his feelings within and not voice them.
It was at this moment that she realized it wasn't because he was reserved but because, from beginning to end, he had never liked her at all.
His closeness with her, his failure to deny the rumors outside, it was all for the sake of creating an illusion. He wanted Mrs. Shi to misunderstand, to think he was fond of her, so that... Mrs. Shi wouldn't choose her, allowing him to marry the woman he truly loved.
