Zhuang Nainai sighed. Even though her status had been revealed, she did not feel awkward. She simply raised her head and scanned the hotel to look for him.
Cheng Sizhe said, “Mr. Si should be in the lounge over there.”
Zhuang Nainai looked toward the place he was pointing at, only to see a lounge in the corner of the first floor.
Thankful, she gave Cheng Sizhe a nod and took the opportunity to move toward the lounge.
After Zhuang Nainai left Cheng Sizhe and approached the room that Si Zhengting was in, she intended to find an excuse to send the others away. But just as she entered the lounge, another commotion ensued in the main event hall.
Zhuang Nainai stopped in her tracks and peered toward the door.
There was a woman standing by the door.
She was just standing there casually, yet she exuded utmost splendor. The light purple dress she was wearing hugged her body, accentuating her elegance. The elegance she exuded with every movement made one feel like she was God’s favored one and a princess by right!
Standing by the door, she was accompanied by a few bodyguards. She said to the security officer in a very polite and courteous manner, “I am Xiao Caibai. Could you please ask Mr. Si if I can be allowed to enter without an invitation?”
Her tone was very confident, with a hint of an inborn sense of pride.
The security officer was stunned. He had seen beautiful women before. However, he had never seen such a beautiful and sophisticated woman!
Hence, the security officer passed on the word immediately. It was only a matter of seconds before Si Zhengting heard the news.
In the lounge, his eyes narrowed when he heard this name. Moments later, he said, “Let her in.”
Ji Chen: “…” So, is Mr. Si inviting trouble for Mr. Cheng on purpose?
Among the executive staff, who doesn’t know about that incident between Mr. Cheng and Xiao Caibai?
At times like these, the most rational solution is for Mr. Si to welcome her personally in order to stall for time for Cheng Sizhe to leave. However, Mr. Si is sitting here without budging, like he has no intention to go out!
Ji Chen could only sigh and light a candle for Cheng Sizhe in his heart at the same time.
—
Xiao Caibai!
Xiao Caibai!
The moment she entered the venue, her name spread like wildfire among the executives. Everyone looked at her with twinkling eyes.
Ji Chen welcomed her personally. “I’m so sorry, Ms. Xiao. Mr. Si is attending to a very important guest at the moment, so he isn’t able to come out and welcome you.”
Xiao Caibai smiled. “Mr. Si is too courteous. He is a noble figure like my mother and I’m the younger one. Wouldn’t I get bad luck if I ask so much from him? I’m just here to look for someone.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze landed on a corner. Soon, she walked toward Cheng Sizhe, who had an unpleasant look on his face.
Cheng Sizhe was sipping on a glass of fruit wine when he heard footsteps approaching. He looked up. Before he could say anything, the couch sank slightly. Xiao Caibai had sat next to him.
Cheng Sizhe frowned ever so subtly, only to hear Xiao Caibai laugh. She said in a casual yet confident tone and moderate speed, “I already dolled myself up at home. I was waiting for you nearby to ask me to be your date. Unexpectedly, you actually… found another date when both Li Yanran and Tang Qiqi couldn’t make it.”
Upon her saying this, Xiao Caibai’s gaze fixed on Zhuang Nainai.
