Shi Che couldn't help but reach out and retrieve the invitation from the trash, laying it flat on the desk.
He stared at the invitation, his dark eyes deepening. Then, he pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket, slid his fingers to unlock the screen, and saw that apart from last night's call, no other calls or messages had come through.
He kept looking at his phone for quite some time, his gaze gradually becoming unfocused.
That call from Ling Chuxia yesterday, was it merely an intention to use him as her partner for the reunion to maintain a facade of their loving relationship, or... was there a bit of fear, a reliance on him that compelled her to call?
If... if she really was scared to face such a difficult situation alone, why... couldn't she afford to give him even one more call?
Why... couldn't she simply say to him, "Shi Che, I want you to accompany me to the reunion, I'm scared."
Such a simple sentence, yet why was she unwilling to say it to him?
