Si Zhengting curled his lips unconsciously, a faint smile crossing his face.
But his smile vanished the moment he thought about the call she had picked up earlier.
She had managed to get her passport.
With the passport, was she going to leave him?
Si Zhengting lowered his head, feeling a sense of fear in the depths of his heart for the first time. If he were to apologize to her, would she forgive him? Would she still insist on getting a divorce? He, he who was never afraid of anything, was now fearful.
He paused, then raised his head, meeting Ji Chen’s strange gaze.
Suddenly, he realized how childish and funny he had been.
Even if he was able to stop her from getting into a taxi, how long would he be able to keep it up for?
He raised his eyebrows slightly. Just then, Ji Chen said, “Sir, our car is here.”
Si Zhengting nodded. He took a deep breath, even nervously straightening his tie. It was only then that he began walking toward Zhuang Nainai, intending to ask her to leave with him.
But just as he began walking, he paused, and his face darkened.

Zhuang Nainai was stomping angrily. What was wrong with those people? Were they trying to toy with her?
She could forget about the first two times, but the third time? Just when she thought she was all prepared, her taxi still got stolen by someone else!
Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath and craned her neck, keeping an eye out for the next available taxi. This time, she was determined to get into the taxi first! If the chauffeur wanted to say anything, that could come later!
Just then, a black Audi suddenly stopped in front of her. As the window rolled down, Zhuang Nainai spotted Su Jinhui in the driver’s seat.
Zhuang Nainai was stunned. “Senior?”
Then she looked back at the hotel, finally understanding. “Are you here for the event? Why are you so late?”
Su Jinhui’s smile was warm. “I’ve been out of town recently, actually. I just came back today.”
As he said this, Su Jinhui’s expression turned serious. “Nainai, I heard about the issue with the design drafts. I trust in your talent.”
At this point in time, the entire issue had already been resolved. But her innocence had only been made known to the people in the event venue; now that Su Jinhui was also affirming her innocence, she broke into an uncontrollable smile, her voice light and happy. “Thank you, Senior!”
Su Jinhui swung open his car door and walked out. “Where are you going? Let me send you there. It’s hard to get a taxi around here.”
Just as Zhuang Nainai was about to reject him out of courtesy, Su Jinhui smiled. “Actually, I specifically came to look for you. I didn’t know a thing about it when I was out of town, but now that I’m back, I was thinking of treating you to a meal to comfort you. After all, the truth with come to light, and I’m sure you’ll be fine.”
He said all of this in his capacity as an elder, making Zhuang Nainai unable to reject him. More than that, she had heard the news that Su Jinhui had a girlfriend and was intending to marry her soon. Considering this, Zhuang Nainai decided not to stand on occasion. “Okay then! Thank you, Senior!”

Si Zhengting stared at the black Audi until it disappeared out of sight, his expressionless face beginning to crack.
His dark gaze following the car’s movements, Si Zhenting grew sour. She had smiled so radiantly to Su Jinhui! He was going to go crazy with jealousy!
Sensing the coldness emanating off of him, Ji Chen hastily lowered his head, thinking, Sir, it’s best not to act like a pretentious prick. You didn’t get chopped for your pretentiousness, but now a certain someone’s been whisked away…
