Ji Chen, the executive assistant, paused. He did not dare to probe further, so he answered respectfully, “Yes, Sir.”
After hanging up the call, Ji Chen was very puzzled.
The Royal Court private kitchen was an experimental business Sir had been managing since he was in school. Throughout these years, he had not put much thought to it, but why was he like this today?
——
When Zhuang Nainai was carrying the take-out boxes while walking in ostentatiously, she was still wondering if Si Zhengting would chase her out on the spot if he saw her bringing the lunch boxes in.
However, wouldn’t it be such a pity to discard all these good food?
As she pondered about this, she suddenly thought of her close friend, Lin Xi’er. Then, she transferred the bag of lunch boxes from one hand to the other and took out her cell phone. After finding Lin Xi’er’s phone number, she called her.
The phone went through and Lin Xi’er’s voice could be heard from the other end. “Hey!”
She looked up smilingly. Just when she was about to brag about how amazing the food here was, she suddenly saw Si Zhengting’s car park at the entrance. As the window winded down, Si Zhengting was looking at her coldly at the moment.
Zhuang Nainai blurted, “Oh my god!”
“F*ck, Zhuang Nainai, who are you calling god?” Lin Xi’er on the other end thought Zhuang Nainai wanted to fight her, so she refuted. When she realized that there was no reaction from Zhuang Nainai, she asked, “How’s Auntie? Is she back? Hello, hello, are you listening?”
The voice from the phone woke Zhuang Nainai up from her trance.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she said in the phone, “Let’s talk another day!”
After she finished speaking, she hung up the call.
Stuffing her phone back into her pocket and glancing at the lunch boxes, she smiled awkwardly. As she scanned the service staff in her surroundings, she thought that Si Zhengting must think that she was very embarrassing.
Zhuang Nainai bit her lips. She did not care about being embarrassing, but if it affected Si Zhengting’s reputation, that would be terrible.
Hence, Zhuang Nainai walked over and grinned at Si Zhengting. She shouted in a sweet voice, “Hello, President Si!”
After shouting that, she stepped forward, pretending to not know Si Zhengting well.
Si Zhengting: …
He had waited for her at the entrance for a full 15 minutes and this was how she was going to treat him?
President Si?
What exactly was she thinking?
When she was shouting that name, she even winked at him, showing a look of “you-know-what-I-mean.”
Si Zhengting was going to go berserk because of her. Would he bring an ordinary employee of the Imperial Group here to have a meal?
Si Zhengting’s brows twitched as the car’s engine started.
Zhuang Nainai was regretting her decisions secretly.
This private kitchen was so remote. Where were the nearest bus or train stations located at?
Why did she take away so much good food? Why couldn’t she just get the free ride?
When she was still at a loss and hesitating, she heard the sound of the car engine starting behind her. Just when Zhuang Nainai let out a sigh, the car stopped beside her.
Turning around, she saw an expressionless Si Zhengting saying, “Get in the car.”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
Zhuang Nainai looked at the endless road ahead and got into the car resolutely. Before she got into the car, she did not forget to say loudly, “I’ll have to trouble you, President Si! You can just drop me off at the train station in front!”
Si Zhengting: …
As the car left the private kitchen restaurant, Zhuang Nainai could finally heave a sigh of relief. After turning around and seeing a tense Si Zhengting, she lowered her head immediately, just like a child that had done something wrong.
Shortly after, she looked up secretly and stole a glance at him. Seeing that he had no reaction, she placed the lunch boxes at the side quietly, as if she had not taken away the food if he could not see them.
After reaching the Si family’s villa, Zhuang Nainai sprinted towards the kitchen while carrying the lunch boxes.
Seeing her behavior, Si Zhengting was utterly speechless.
Having parked his car, he got off the car and walked towards the villa.
