The door was pushed open, and someone with a tall stature walked in.
Zhuang Nainai paused what she was saying. The four people uniformly turned back to look and saw the person who came — black-suited, mature, and stable, with a gentle and refined aura, it was actually…
“Executive assistant Ji?!”
Gu Xingshan couldn’t help calling out aloud.
The way Ji Chen did things was not flattering nor arrogant. At this moment, his gaze went back and forth between Gu Deshou and Zhuang Nainai, sizing them up. Finally, his gaze fell upon Zhuang Nainai’s wrist.
Gu Deshou’s hand suddenly relaxed. He walked up with a smile on his face. “Executive assistant Ji, why have you come?”
Zhuang Nainai was extremely shocked.
Her small rosy mouth was slightly open, and she was staring at Ji Chen in awe, immediately realizing that if Ji Chen was here, then…
Zhuang Nainai’s line of sight went past him, looking behind him with a heart full of anticipation…
Her once desolate feelings seemed as if they were granted wings and were about to start soaring.
But there was no one behind Ji Chen.
Where was Si Zhengting?
Smiling slightly, Zhuang Nainai gave a self-deprecating laugh. She definitely thought too much about it.
How could he come?
In her heart, a wave of sourness appeared out of nowhere. Without much effort at all, that feeling started to spread to all parts of her body, making her feel an extreme sadness.
Zhuang Nainai swallowed her saliva, then swallowed down the whimper that was coming out from the opening of her throat, then looked at Ji Chen.
What was he here for?
Could it be… Si Zhengting sent Ji Chen here to cancel the engagement?
No!
Thinking about how Mother Zhuang was in Gu Deshou’s hands, Zhuang Nainai bit her lip.
She absolutely can’t sit and await death.
Her black eyes shone and Zhuang Nainai directly rushed in front of Ji Chen.
She reached out to grab Ji Chen’s arm and softly started, “Is it that Mr. Si temporarily has something on and can’t make it? It’s ok, the registration is not urgent, but this kind of thing can be settled with a phone call. There’s no need for you to come here personally, is there?”
While talking, she looked at Ji Chen, seeking for his help: I’m begging you, executive assistant Ji, please help me!
Zhuang Nainai had already taken the cues and realized that this executive assistant Ji’s position in front of Si Zhengting was different from Da Shan, Xiao Shan, and Da Zhuang. Additionally, he didn’t seem to have an aversion to her getting close to Si Zhengting?
So, will executive assistant Ji help her now?
Zhuang Nainai didn’t even notice that ever since executive assistant Ji was grabbed by her, his body was suddenly stiff and he was instinctively glancing outside at a black car that was parked by the roadside.
Although that black car’s windows were shut, through the black reflective glass, Ji Chen could feel a sharp gaze falling on the arm that Zhuang Nainai was grabbing.
In an instant, his arm felt like it was on fire, becoming sizzling hot.
Ji Chen really wanted to immediately push Zhuang Nainai away!
But if he treated her so roughly, wouldn’t Sir strip off his skin?
Ji Chen coughed and stepped backwards without leaving a trace, avoiding Zhuang Nainai’s pulling.
At this time, Gu Xingshan’s soft voice butted in, “Sis, is it that something had cropped up for Mr. Si? Or… The engagement is canceled? It couldn’t be that Mr. Si no longer likes Sis? The registration takes such a short time, how is Mr. Si not even able to free up this time to come?”
After hearing those words, Gu Deshou’s pupils shrank and he looked towards Zhuang Nainai.
Gu Deshou furrowed his brows. “By right, shouldn’t Mr. Si’s schedule have been arranged long ago? What is this big thing that cropped up suddenly?”
