Si Zhengting got a little anxious and deliberated if he should go in. Another five minutes passed before he could take it no more.
He was stunned by what he saw.
Zhuang Nainai was sleeping soundly with her head resting on the edge of the bathtub. Her body was sliding slowly into the tub, and her head went under the water the moment he walked in.
Si Zhengting’s heart leaped to his throat and he rushed forward to catch her.
Zhuang Nainai did not wake and was still deep in sleep with her head up.
Si Zhengting felt his heart race against his chest. It was frightening to imagine what could have happened just now.
Taking a deep breath to keep calm, he lifted her up and carefully carried her back to the bed.
He retrieved another blanket and tucked her in. Si Zhengting sat at the edge of the bed and watched her sleep. He then suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Nainai, do you like this bed?”
It was very bright when Zhuang Nainai woke the next day. Apart from a few aches on her body, she was greatly invigorated by the bath and her deep sleep.
She washed up and hopped downstairs for breakfast.
She must eat a hearty meal to make up for all the strenuous exercise last night!
She was at the bottom of the stairs when she saw the familiar figure sitting in the dining room. Her knees gave way and she nearly fell.
What!
Were her eyes playing a trick on her?
She took a quick glance at the clock. It was 10 am alright, so why was this workaholic still at home? He should be at work by 7!
Zhuang Nainai froze in her steps. She planned to sneak upstairs and wait for him to leave. She was just about to turn when the butler spoke.
“Madam, please enjoy your breakfast.”
Zhuang Nainai looked back and gave a nervous laugh. She instantly lost her haughty air and ambled down the stairs like a meek little lamb.
The butler watched her make her painfully slow descent and prompted, “Madam, Sir has been waiting for you.”
Waiting for her? What for?
Zhuang Nainai looked over with a lost look.
The butler cleared this throat. “Madam, didn’t we agree yesterday that you’ll start working for the Imperial Group?”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
So soon? She did not even make any preparations!

Meanwhile, at New Age Wedding Agency.
The employees stood with their heads lowered in the meeting room, receiving a scolding from Manager Wang. “Listen well! Working in the service industry, we have to read the situations well! We must be able to distinguish the people we can offend and the ones that we can’t! Zhuang Nainai is a classic example! Who does she think she is to go against Ms. Xue? Look what she has gotten herself into, she has to come and pay up today. There are different ranks amongst people. It’s not your fault to be poor, but it will be if you offend someone else!”
He had just finished his tirade when Ji Chen pushed open the door.
Manager Wang turned. He noticed his expensive get-up and broke into a wide smile. “May I help you?”
Ji Chen smiled. “Hi, I’m here to pay up for my Madam.”
Madam?
Manager Wang’s eyes shone. This must be a big client. “May I know what you are paying for? Is it a deposit for the wedding planning? Or is it the final sum?”
“Neither,” Ji Chen replied slowly. “I’m here to pay the compensation sum for my Madam.”
