As Shi Jinyan was approaching, Si Jingyu held onto Zhuang Nainai’s hand and unconsciously used more strength.
The stairs may be long, but he would reach the top eventually. Si Jingyu looked on helplessly as he was about to come up anytime soon. She then took a step forward and asked while filled with hostility, “Why are you here?”
Shi Jinyan paused for a moment, then sighed, “I…”
Si Jingyu squinted her eyes, stretched out her long and slender fingers, pointed towards the entrance at the living room downstairs, and said firmly, “Right now, immediately, at once, you…”
At this moment, the creaking sound of the door could be heard. The master’s bedroom door opened and Si Zhengting walked out.
Si Jingyu’s body stiffened. That look full of vigilance and hostility had vanished in an instant. She touched her head with the finger that she initially pointed below, then tried hard to sound gentle and at ease. “Aren’t you very busy today?”
So, why aren’t you leaving?
Shi Jinyan clearly understood what Si Jingyu meant. Unfortunately, his line of sight swept past Si Jingyu and landed on Si Zhengting.
As usual, Si Zhengting walked over expressionlessly, but in front of his family, he didn’t seem that cold.
“You rarely come back home, you should meet up more often with Brother-in-law,” Si Zhengting said to Si Jingyu, then turned to look at Shi Jinyan. “No matter how busy you are with work, you should spend more time with your family.”
Although his tone sounded indifferent, it contained a tension that couldn’t be ignored.
Shi Jinyan narrowed his eyes and looked at Si Zhengting.
Si Zhengting continued saying indifferently, “As a man, you should make your woman happy.”
Zhuang Nainai, who was listening from the side, couldn’t help but agree inwardly!
Si Zhengting should be able to tell that there was something wrong between the two of them, right?
Unfortunately, Si Zhengting was still trying to be a mediator. If he knew that Shi Jinyan was having an affair, would he still talk like this?
Even so, he was so manly when he said that just now!
Zhuang Nainai and Si Jingyu looked toward Shi Jinyan at the same time.
Logically, after getting reprimanded so forcefully, Shi Jinyan should be very upset. Yet, upon hearing this, he lowered his eyes. Just when Zhuang Nainai thought that there might be a dispute, he nodded. “I’ll remember that.”
His attitude was so unexpected that Si Jingyu was momentarily stunned.
Zhuang Nainai felt that the atmosphere right before her was a little strange. Just as she moved and was about to break the silence, a pair of boiling hot, big hands held onto her wrist.
Si Zhengting pulled Zhuang Nainai over and nodded at Si Jingyu and Shi Jinyan. “Have a good dream.”
Shortly after, he pulled Zhuang Nainai along and walked toward the bedroom.
Zhuang Nainai staggered and followed Si Zhengting from behind. She turned to look at Si Jingyu and wanted to say something. However, the moment Si Zhengting stared daggers at her, she swallowed her words back.
Zhuang Nainai could only tell Si Jingyu to look out for herself through the expression in her eyes. She then struggled as she followed Si Zhengting into the master’s bedroom.
As soon as she entered, the room door was closed.
Zhuang Nainai raised her head and saw Si Zhengting’s cold gaze. At that moment, her heart was thumping as she got startled.
She swallowed her saliva, then heard Si Zhengting’s voice. “Are you not working tomorrow? Or are you planning to be late for work?”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
This man, would it cost him his life to tell her to go to bed earlier?!
He was obviously concerned about her but had to make things so difficult.
Zhuang Nainai curled her lips. Just as she turned around and was about to head to the bathroom to wash up, she heard Si Zhengting’s voice from the back. “Gu Deshou called you. What design drafts is he asking for?”
Zhuang Nainai stopped in her tracks and turned around in astonishment.
