As Zhuang Nainai stood up, held her cup, and walked over, Si Zhengting, who was staring at the display screen sulkily, calmly stretched out his long, slender fingers and tapped the keyboard for a couple of times. The content on the screen then changed in an instant.
After pouring a cup of water for herself and returning to her bed, he tapped the keyboard a couple more times, and the content that was originally on the screen returned again.
That was a chat box. While its surroundings were completely black, strangely, there were only white words displayed in the middle.
However, upon taking a closer look at it, one would realize that those white words were actually Zhuang Nainai’s text messages!
At this moment, Su Jinhui had already replied, “You’re receiving your salary tomorrow? So, we’ll meet tomorrow afternoon?”
Fortunately, Zhuang Nainai still had a conscience. “I’m meeting someone else for lunch in the afternoon. At night, then?”
Su Jinhui replied, “Sure, I’ll wait for your text then.”
The conversation ended here, but Si Zhengting stared deeply at these very words – I’ll treat you to a meal.
The more he looked at them, the more stifled he felt. While sulking, he turned to look at Zhuang Nainai, only to see her drink two sips of water while sitting in front of the mirror and applying some toner onto her face. She seemed very pleased with herself as she walked towards the bed with light footsteps. After lying down on the bed, she took her earphones out and put them on.
Even without looking at her phone, Si Zhengting knew that she must be watching those melodramatic romantic dramas again!
He looked at her again. With the phone screen facing her, its brightness made her small face seem even more distinct. That delicate look of hers varied along with the progression of the story plot. She either couldn’t help but laugh or wait anxiously. Sometimes, she even knitted her brows together.
Yet, each expression was so beautiful that it could be viewed many times with lasting interest.
When Si Zhengting snapped out of it and looked at the computer screen, it was already 11 pm.
He was momentarily stunned. Did he misread the time?
How could he have unconsciously stared at Zhuang Nainai like this for half an hour?
Yet, as someone with very good time management, he knew that he had really done such a silly thing.
Si Zhengting pressed his lips together and looked at the person on the bed again. She seemed to be watching a funny scene because she was trying very hard not to laugh too loudly. Yet, while she was holding back her laughter, her body trembled slightly.
Seeing how she was enjoying her time and laughing away, Si Zhengting felt even more gloomy.
He closed the computer and stood up all of a sudden.
The villain on the bed seemed to have sensed his sudden movement at once. She looked at him with a panic-stricken gaze. Her immediate reaction was to take off her earphones, place her cell phone below her pillow, and lie down obediently.
She did all these within three seconds. She couldn’t be any more experienced.
At first, Si Zhengting hadn’t intended to do anything to her. Yet, upon seeing her reaction, he instantly became even more upset.
Was he a savage beast? She was actually so afraid of him!
As his anger was surging, he couldn’t be bothered to control himself. He directly got onto the bed, stretched out his arms, and embraced a certain woman who was pretending to be asleep.
Tonight, Si Zhengting was even more ferocious than the last few nights. Every time he used his strength, it seemed as if even the innermost part of him wanted to correspond with her, causing Zhuang Nainai to jolt within his arms. She couldn’t help but think, Why is he angry again?

In this room, there were a heavy rainstorm and a strong gale. On the other hand, the other room was like a world full of ice and snow.
After Si Zhengting had dropped the hint, turned around, and left, Shi Jinyan stared at Si Jingyu with a gentle yet slightly obstinate gaze.
Si Jingyu stood rooted to the ground and clenched her fist tightly.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Shi Jinyan say, “If I leave today, our mother would definitely call me tomorrow and ask what’s going on.”
