Throughout the meal, except for Li Qian, whose face remained dark and who couldn't swallow her food, everyone else was chatting and laughing. Chuxia saw that Li Qian had finally lost the power to retaliate and slowly let out a sigh of relief.
She thought that today's ordeal was over, and although it had been dangerous, fortunately, it was covered up.
Chuxia couldn't help but steal a glance at Shi Che. The man had a solemn look, calm and composed, as serene as ever. Even just sitting quietly, he radiated an imposing aura.
Although she didn't know why Shi Che had come, she knew that if he hadn't been there today, she wouldn't have been able to fend off Li Qian so easily. She might have lost all her dignity by now.
For the first time, she felt a sense of security by his side, as if no matter how great the trouble that might befall her, there was no need to be afraid because he was there.
