Si Zhengting looked over in an uncomprehending way, and Zhuang Nainai realized that she had overreacted. She bit her lips and explained, “Will she… not like me?”
Was she being nervous?
Si Zhengting’s mood changed for the better, and his tone was no longer cold. He reassured her, “Don’t worry, she’s very nice.”
Very nice?
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists tightly, and a glint glimmered in her eyes. She looked down after a while and replied half-heartedly, “Alright.”
Silence fell in the car again after the exchange.
Zhuang Nainai was flustered into restlessness. She looked down and furiously swiped and tapped on with her phone, as if desperate to find a distraction.
Si Zhengting looked at her, his eyes darkening. During high school, she would do the same thing when she was nervous, flipping a book madly and not looking at its contents.
Si Zhengting said nothing. He closed his eyes and reminisced about their happy memories.
Zhuang Nainai was, however, in an edgy and complicated mood.
Her mind was in a mess. She did not know what to feel.
She was deep in thoughts when the man beside her suddenly lunged in her direction. She held her breath, almost screaming out with shock from the sudden movement. She then saw his arms going around her and reaching for the safety belt buckle.
Zhuang Nainai looked up in a daze, realizing that their car had already stopped in front of their mansion.
Was he… helping her to unbuckle the seatbelt?
The atmosphere in the car tensed with intimacy.
His hands searched around her waist, his fingers occasionally touching her. Zhuang Nainai felt her body tighten, and her throat went dry. Waves of electrical current seemed to pass throughout her body, making her feel all tingly.
Zhuang Nainai held her breath and felt her heartbeat race.
His warm breath tickled her neck, and she did not know what to do.
Her breathing and heartbeat became erratic.
After a long time, the safety belt was finally unfastened with a click.
Zhuang Nainai released a sharp breath and jumped out of the car in a flash while Si Zhengting was sitting back up.
“I… I’m so tired, I’ll be off to bed first!”
She then bounded off and disappeared into the mansion like a terrified rabbit without even looking back at Si Zhengting.
Her bashful look surprised Si Zhengting, and there was an involuntarily tug on his lips.
At the sound of the car, the butler exited the house to welcome their return. He was shocked to see Si Zhengting’s smile. Was that a smile? What was happening?
The butler stood fixed to the ground and ran into his room without even properly greeting his master. He had to inform the Ma’am of this news. She had been waiting for this day for five years!
The line was connected right away. Mrs. Ding’s voice was low and charismatic. “Lee, is your master being bratty again?”
The butler answered politely, “No, Ma’am, I saw him smile today.”
There was silence on the other end of the line. After a while, she sighed, saying, “Forget it, as long as he’s happy.”
She then continued, “What’s her behavior like after they got married?”
The butler immediately thought back to the day when Zhuang Nainai ran upstairs timidly while Mr. Si raged. Was this really the kind of girl Mr. Si likes?
