The Contract Marriage by Winter Love

Chapter 369: Chapter 368: Confession Again (10)

When Shi Che returned home that night, it was already quite late. As he entered the bedroom, he naturally lightened his footsteps.

Ling Chuxia was sitting on the sofa with her back to him, seemingly watching TV. The TV show featured five hosts clowning around, eliciting bursts of laughter from the audience.

With a long stride, Shi Che slowly walked over. It was only when he got closer that he realized Ling Chuxia was lying sideways on the sofa, hugging a pillow, already sound asleep.

Shi Che gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, a slight smile curling up at the corners of his lips.

He moved in front of the sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned off the TV. Then, bending slightly, he carefully extended his arms under her body and gently lifted her up.

The moment he lifted her, Ling Chuxia seemed to become slightly conscious. Her long, curly eyelashes trembled, and her eyes half-opened.

When Shi Che saw her open her eyes, he paused for a moment, but Ling Chuxia smiled sweetly, her voice soft and lazy, "Shi Che, you’re back..."

That smile momentarily dazed Shi Che. The next second, Ling Chuxia’s cheek gently rubbed against Shi Che’s chest, and her eyes closed again, sinking back into a deep sleep.
