Upon her seeing this, Zhuang Nainai’s vacant gaze suddenly snapped back into focus.
She gazed dazedly at the laptop’s screen, then lifted her head and looked at Si Zhengting, who was still in the midst of a call in the balcony. She couldn’t explain this strange feeling that came over her.
When Li Yufeng talked about this matter, Zhuang Nainai had not trusted that he would have done this. She had wanted to ask Si Zhengting about it personally.
But after seeing the messages sent by their family doctor and Ji Chen, she felt that she could understand why he had done this.
Because if she had insisted on leaving the country, she might not be able to keep the child!
She bit her lips and lowered her head.
She didn’t know what she should say nor do. So he did all this to ensure that they could keep their baby?
But why hadn’t he talked to her about this?
If he had told her what the family doctor had told him, would she still have been that rash and insistent on going to America?
On one hand, it was her mother, and on the other, her child. She knew how to prioritize between the two.
She bit her lips. Then, she gazed at Si Zhengting as he walked over after ending his call.
His back was against the light so she could not make out his expression. However, he could clearly see the surprise and suspicion on hers.
Si Zhengting sensed that there was something wrong. His eyes narrowed. “What’s wrong?”
After he said that, he remembered that she had wanted to ask him something. So he backtracked and asked, “What was your question?”
Her question?
Zhuang Nainai clenched her hands into fists. She wanted to ask him why he had decided everything on his own, why he hadn’t confided in her nor sought her opinion on anything. She wanted to ask him about what was going on with the tickets to America, to ask him…
She had many questions that she wished to ask him. If these questions had surfaced in the past, she definitely would not have asked him about them.
But now…
Their interactions in recent times made her feel the affection that she had felt for him five years ago. She had hope for their marriage again. She bit her lip and finally said, “Si Zhengting, no matter what happens, can you consult me first before making a decision?”
Consult her first?
A flicker of surprise flashed past Si Zhengting’s narrow and long eyes. This was a bold move that Zhuang Nainai would not have taken in the past — she would have remained silent. He stared at her. Since she had asked him this question so honestly, he would clarify what she meant before answering her. “What are you talking about?”
Zhuang Nainai bit her lip, then lowered her head and picked up the laptop. “I’m talking about this, Si Zhengting. Ji Chen said that he had bought all the airplane tickets bound for America. What did he mean by this? You…”
After she said this, she suddenly paused!
She lowered her head and saw that Ji Chen had sent more messages in his conversation with Si Zhengting.
Mr. Si, I’m really sorry for taking matters into my own hands like this. But Madam is in no position to be leaving the country at the moment. She should stay home and take care of herself for her baby’s sake.
Madam’s really agitated right now and is unlikely to heed any advice. After thinking about it, I thought that this was the only way to stop Madam from leaving.
Once again, I was wrong to have taken matters into my own hands like this. But I couldn’t let you continue to humor her like this. Mr. Si, you care so much for this child. You need to let Madam know this. If you don’t tell her about this, how would she know about it?
Mr. Si, I’ve already placed my resignation letter on the desk in your office. I silently await my punishment.
The lengthy messages came in one after another. Zhuang Nainai quickly skimmed through them. Then, she was beyond shocked!
So… Ji Chen had done it of his own accord, without any instructions from Si Zhengting?
So, she had misunderstood him?!
