It seemed as if Si Jingyu wanted to avoid Shi Jinyan’s gaze. She didn’t look at him at all. Instead, she looked towards Si Zhengting and smiled. “Our house was flooded with water. It’s been so long, yet the repair works are still incomplete. I’d be staying here for a couple of days, don’t think that I’m annoying you!”
Si Zhengting knitted his brows. “As for brother-in-law…”
“He’ll stay at the company.” Si Jingyu waved her hand. “He’s so busy with work that he doesn’t even come home. If he did, the repair works wouldn’t still be unfinished even after half a year.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Jingyu looked towards Shi Jinyan. “Alright, it’s almost 9 pm. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to leave today.”
Shi Jinyan’s eyes narrowed. “If I can’t leave, I can stay here as well.”
“Don’t! When I married you, I was determined to be a good wife and a loving… wife. If you don’t leave, your colleagues will blame it all on me tomorrow!” Si Jingyu said while smiling happily.
When he heard this, a smile formed on Shi Jinyan’s lips. “Alright. This time, stay in Beijing for a while longer. After I’m done with my current work, I’ll bring you out next time.”
Just as Si Jingyu was about to say something, Shi Jinyan spoke again, “The fashion design department of the Imperial Group can’t do without you. Besides, the Imperial Group’s 100th-year-anniversary celebration is happening soon. Can you bear to leave all these things to Zhengting? Don’t forget, he’s just gotten married.”
Upon hearing this, Si Jingyu wrinkled her brows and stared at Shi Jinyan with her eyes opened widely.
Shi Jinyan looked at her proudly. His gaze was firm, as if he was saying, if you don’t promise me, I won’t be leaving tonight.
Right now, Si Jingyu really didn’t want to stay under the same roof as him. Moreover…
Si Jingyu glanced at Si Zhengting.
After not seeing him for a few months, she saw that his originally thin body had become even skinnier.
For the past half a year, she had been willfully indulging in her own life outside, letting her younger brother take charge of an exceptionally large corporation. However, come to think of it, Si Zhengting was merely 24 or 25 years old this year.
She was indeed too willful.
Si Jingyu silently nodded. “Sure, I’ll cancel all my overseas plans and stay in Beijing for another month.”
Since both of them had given in, Shi Jinyan wouldn’t push her to the extreme either. He then left obediently.
After he drove off from the villa, just as the three of them turned around and was about to return to their rooms, Si Zhengting glanced at Si Jingyu with a meaningful gaze. Shortly after, he said coldly, “Sister, a person like Brother-in-law is hard to come by.”
Si Jingyu stopped in her tracks, then smiled while raising her head. “That’s for sure, don’t you know who chose him? But, Sister-in-law is not bad either!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she smiled towards Zhuang Nainai, then changed the topic. “I’m staying already. Do I go to work tomorrow?”
“Up to you.”
Si Jingyu grinned. “It’s all set then, I’ll be responsible for the designs of the apparels. As for other tasks, don’t look for me, you know I hate dealing with problems the most.”
Si Zhengting nodded.
They went back to their own rooms.
Zhuang Nainai lay down in bed. While thinking about the crisis between Si Jingyu and Shi Jinyan, she sighed. Just what kind of a devil’s curse was the Si family under, causing the marriage of all three to be so unblissful?
No, she shouldn’t say that.
Zhuang Nainai looked at the man who was lying next to her. Thinking about what had happened today, she couldn’t help but probe, “Si Zhengting, why aren’t you asking me… about what happened today?”
He obviously knew that she was lying. Yet, not only did he not ask her why she really cried, but he also took care of her very thoughtfully.
All of these seemed too unreal in Zhuang Nainai’s eyes. Happiness was coming too fast, it made her slightly confused.
