Chapter 62 Why Don't You Go Die (2)

Shi Che knew he shouldn't have been expecting anything, yet when he heard Old Zhu's last sentence, his heart still skipped a beat, and a glint of anticipation surfaced in his eyes.

So he sat there waiting, waiting to see if Ling Chuxia would come out, to see if she would, like other wives...

have that slight trace of pleasant surprise, that little hint of joy.

His dark brown eyes swept towards the front door unintentionally from time to time.

But he waited and waited, and that front door never opened, always closed, with no one coming out from it, until the lights of the second-floor bedroom abruptly dimmed, and all returned to calm.

Old Zhu suddenly felt a bit awkward; he chuckled dryly, scratched his head with one hand, and quickly tried to rectify the situation, "Uh... maybe the Young Madam doesn't know you're back yet. We didn't give any advance notice after all. How about I make a phone call right now? The Young Madam probably hasn't slept yet, she's waiting for you."
