Chuxia decided to attend the reunion this year for one reason only, he understood at once: it was to maintain the appearance of a loving marriage, to save her own face, to prevent Mrs. Shi from forming a negative opinion of her.
He knew... without anything important, she would never come to him.
Shi Che's expression turned cold in an instant, his hand slowly clenching into a fist, crinkling the invitation he held until it was a wrinkled mess, and only then did Shi Che coldly say, "Xiao Zhao, you may leave now."
Xiao Zhao, catching the sudden change in Shi Che's demeanor, felt a chill run down his spine. Having worked alongside Shi Che for several years, he was well aware of the couple's conflicts; a change in Shi Che's face was always closely related to the Young Madam.
Although he didn't fully understand how such a loving couple could reach this point, thinking back on their initial happiness and seeing their current torment, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.
