Her questioning tone made Zuo Weiyi pause as she realized what she had just said.
“How do you know that name?”
Looking at Shi Nuannuan’s puzzled expression, Zuo Weiyi bit her bottom lip and finally opened her mouth. “She came over, and this noon, your brother went out with her.”
Shi Nuannuan’s eyes widened, her face was full of disbelief.
Tangteng Xi actually came to Country Z. Did that mean, she would know about her brother and Weiyi?
What if grandfather caught wind of them too?
When she thought about this, Shi Nuannuan was plagued with anxiety.
As she realized Shi Nuannuan had gone quiet, Zuo Weiyi lifted her dark gaze and slowly opened her mouth. “She… is your brother’s fiancee, right?”
Shi Nuannuan was still drowned in her anxiety when she heard Zuo Weiyi’s question. Her face went blank for a moment as she looked up at her. She did not know how to answer her.
After a few moments, she gradually replied, “Actually, my brother he… doesn’t like Tangteng Xi! The person he likes is…”
“It’s fine, I was just asking. You don’t have to explain anything to me,” Zuo Weiyi forced a smile and lowered her head, stuffing her mouth with a spoonful of tasteless rice.
Shi Nuannuan was stunned, she did not know what else to say.
‘Damn you, Brother! Why would you be with Tangteng Xi at times like this?’
Even if she told Weiyi that her brother did not like Tangteng Xi, she would not believe it.
After dinner, Zuo Weiyi went upstairs directly and headed to the master bedroom. She lay in bed after taking a bath.
Meanwhile, Shi Nuannuan was annoyed. She had decided to make a call to Shi Yuting.
However, his phone was turned off.
Shi Nuannuan put down her phone and stared at the black screen with a blank face.
Except for a very important meeting, her brother’s personal number was 24/7 reachable, so why was it turned off?
In the past, even if he was in a meeting with the board of directors at Dizun, his phone was not turned off too. Not to mention it was nighttime now, he should not be in a meeting.
Could it be that he was with Tangteng Xi now?
Maybe she had been reading too many romantic novels, the image of Shi Yuting and Tangteng Xi’s naked body entangled with each other on a random hotel’s bed floated in Shi Nuannuan’s mind…
No, no, no. Her brother was not someone like that.
Shi Nuannuan shook her head in an attempt to get rid of the impure thoughts.
But it was quickly followed by her dropping her shoulders in discourage.
If he really did not like her, then why would he go out with Tangteng Xi and not return even until now? His phone was turned off too!
What kind of stuff were they doing that they had to stay together for so long, and he had even turned off his phone to avoid disturbance?
***
Zuo Weiyi only felt drowsy when it was almost dawn.
Next to her, the place that belonged to Shi Yuting was still empty.
As she thought of that, her sleepiness went away.
She sighed silently in her heart and turned her body, changing her posture in an attempt to get more comfortable.
Even so, she still could not sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would open them when she heard any movement outside the window, wondering if Shi Yuting had returned.
But when she listened properly and realized it was just leaves swaying, a wave of disappointment crawled upon her heart.
When the sky was getting brighter, Zuo Weiyi finally closed her eyes in fatigue and slipped into deep sleep.
