Upon shouting, Zhuang Nainai reddened. But being the thick-skinned person she was, she continued standing there, waiting for Si Zhengting to respond.
But Si Zhengting remained expressionless. Taking his cue, the people around him pretended not to have heard their sweet bickering.
Si Zhengting subconsciously tightened his tie, then lifted up his head. Calmly, he simply said, “Thank you.”
With that, he lowered himself and got into the car, dignified and gentlemanly.
All the bodyguards got into the car. He sat motionless as the car began to move off.
It was not until the car disappeared from sight that Zhuang Nainai stopped craning her neck. Thinking of what she had just done, she copied Si Zhengting’s expression and made a straight face. Lowering her voice and imitating him, she said, “Thank you!”
How haughty, how charming!
But why was it that she loved him to death for it?!
Zhuang Nainai patted her own face, feeling its slight warmth.
―
The reddening of Si Zhengting’s ears only disappeared when he got to the office.
Except that during the meeting in the afternoon, he kept fiddling with his tie.
It was understood among the senior management that Mr Si liked to loosen his tie whenever he was impatient.
As a result, the meeting proceeded more quickly than usual.
Yet, even so, why was Mr. Si still impatient?
When the meeting ended, Si Zhengting walked briskly back to his office. Upon loosening his tie and unbuttoning the top button of his shirt, he realized that there was now a light red circle around his neck.
Unable to bear it any longer, Ji Chen rushed to get a new shirt for him from the bedroom.
Si Zhengting hesitated but changed in the end.
Sitting at his desk, he put aside his documents, then looked towards Ji Chen. “Bring me the gown designs for the 100th Year Anniversary Celebration.”
Surprised, Ji Chen assented.
Si Zhengting looked at the female-wear designs that Ji Chen brought over. He was still dissatisfied with the design drafts submitted by the design department.
Briefly considering how Zhuang Nainai looked like, he took a pen and began drawing.
As he drew it earnestly, the simple design held all his love for her.
Outside, May, his personal assistant, was about to knock, but she was stopped by Ji Chen. She had brought several urgent documents for his perusal.
May was perplexed. “These documents are really important. They contain projects worth billions of dollars.”
Executive Assistant Ji smilled. “Do you know what Sir is doing now?”
May shook her head. Executive Assistant Ji said, “he’s doing something very important.”
May paused, then followed Executive Assistant Ji’s gaze. She saw him conscientiously drawing something. The manner in which he was doing so almost seemed pious.
May was stunned.
Mr. Si might have been born with a golden spoon, but he was unlike other heirs of large corporations. Instead of fooling around, he was always serious at work.
All these years, nothing ever managed to affect Mr. Si’s work.
He was so exacting at work it was almost harsh. Leading his team of staff, he always took his work very seriously.
But now, he was forsaking urgent documents just for a drawing? Was it worth it?
If Si Zhengting had heard this question, he certainly would have given a faint smile before telling her, “For Zhuang Nainai, everything is worth it.”
Because no matter the pain that she had caused him over the past five years, he knew for sure that she was the highlight of his life.
