When Li Yufeng told Mi Nuo to trust her, Mi Nuo froze.
She clenched her fist, then hit her steering wheel hard. She bent over her steering wheel and began to cry.
Her pent-up suffering poured out as she cried. Her cries were picked up by the microphone in her phone and transmitted to Li Yufeng, who was on the other end of the call.
Li Yufeng’s voice grew choked as well. “Nuonuo, I’ve let you down. Don’t cry, Nuonuo.”
Li Yufeng consoled Mi Nuo for an unknown period of time. In the end, Mi Nuo raised her head. After she had released all her pent-up emotions, she regained her usual composure, donning the facade that she put on daily at the Imperial Group.
She wiped away her tears and glared at the Si residence. “No matter what, this is the best possible time to ruin their relationship. Li Yufeng, I don’t want to accept a Mr. Si who is still unwilling to part with Zhuang Nainai!”
“I know what you mean.” After Li Yufeng said this, she sighed. Then she said lifelessly, “Nuonuo, I’ll give you whatever you want. But you have to promise me that you won’t meddle with that child.”
Mi Nuo was taken aback after she heard this. She curled the corner of her lips, then paused and smirked before hanging up the call.
Then she looked toward the Si residence again, thinking back to the time when she had first seen Si Zhengting.
That had been three years ago.
She had received the highest accolade at the Starlight competition. Following that, she had been specially invited to work at the Imperial Group.
At that point in time, Si Zhengting had just taken over the management of the Imperial Group. None of the departments were moving on the right track, and he had been trying to cajole some fresh blood into joining the design department. Thus, he had ended up personally receiving her on her first day of work.
She had anxiously followed Executive Assistant Ji onto the top floor. She stood outside Si Zhengting’s office, then the door to his office opened.
He stood on the balcony in his room and seemed to be making a call. He turned to look at them as he heard them enter the office, then calmly pointed to the sofa at the side.
In those moments, light seemed to have been radiating from him. He appeared to be shining in front of Mi Nuo.
Every movement of his was elegant and made her feel infatuated and besotted with him.
She remembered that he had walked over to her and extended his hand for a handshake, calmly saying, “Welcome to the Imperial Group.”
It was love at first sight for her.
And then she couldn’t free herself from obsessing over him ever since. But they were worlds apart. If she hadn’t known about that secret, she would probably never be together with him for the rest of her life.
As she thought about this, Mi Nuo lowered her head and suppressed the anxiety she felt inside.
Wait.
She needed to wait.
She had already waited for three years. What more were a couple of months?
As she thought about this, she finally felt at ease. Then, she slowly drove away.

At the Gu family’s home.
After ending the call with Mi Nuo, Li Yufeng narrowed her eyes as she sat on the sofa and thought things through.
Just as she was deep in thought, Gu Deshou walked in front of her. “What are you doing? Your mind has been wandering ever since you took that call. You aren’t secretly having an affair with a sugar baby out there, are you?”
Li Yufeng rolled her eyes at him, then stood up coldly. She pushed him away and walked off. Then she paused as she suddenly thought of something. She turned around and stared at Gu Deshou, narrowing her eyes. “Mr. Si seems to have had news of Zhuang Meiting.”
Upon hearing those words, Gu Deshou let the towel he was using to dry off his hair drop onto the ground.
Then, he hurriedly rushed into his room. Li Yufeng heard him making a few calls to inquire about the matter. Then, he called his secretary and told him to book a flight ticket for himself later that night.
