The sum of both of their ages surpassed 100. How many more years could they live?
He instantly dropped all the lousy rules he’d had to follow and boundaries he’d had to keep within.
As Butler Li thought of this, he grinned and said to Ding Mengya, “Miss.”
Ding Mengya also smiled. She lowered her head bashfully. Why was her heart skipping a beat upon seeing Butler Li’s smile?
Why was she acting so shy, as if she were a teenage girl again?!
Ding Mengya felt like she must have been bewitched. Hence, she changed the subject quickly. “What is your Sir doing? How dare he not visit his mother when she is hospitalized?”
Upon him hearing this, a smile spread across Butler Li’s face immediately. He could not help but defend Si Zhengting. “Mr. Si has been very busy lately…”
“Hmph! What do you mean by busy? He must have gone to visit Nainai, right?”
After Ding Mengya finished speaking, she thought of the matter Si Zhengting had told her about. Then, she suddenly looked rather worried. “When Nainai finds out about Zhengting’s plans later on, would she blame him?”
After hearing this, Butler Li lowered his head immediately. “We can’t do anything about it even if she blames him. Those people overseas… are way too scary. Sir… has no choice.”

Si Zhengting, who was the subject of their conversation, was currently in the Si residence’s… kitchen.
All the housekeepers stood in the living room and were pointing fingers at Si Zhengting.
For the past few days, Mr. Si would go out in the day and come back late at night. Once he reached home, he would sleep for four hours. He would then spend his remaining time in the kitchen.
Thus, many new dishes had been served in the house recently. He would slice the potato so meticulously. Even though he took a long time, he could produce a plate of completely identical potato shreds.
Clad in a white dress shirt and an apron, he was looking at the recipe in front of him very seriously. He was studying the recipe. Holding a weighing scale that had a 0.1-gram accuracy, he frowned. Then, he reached out with his long and fair fingers, took a pinch of salt, and placed it on the weighing scale.
After a few tries, it seemed like he finally got the amount he wanted.
As expected of an intelligent person like him, he could learn everything very quickly. Next, he started to memorize recipes. If he had time, he would practice cooking the dishes a few times. If he had no time… he would memorize the recipes by heart.
After he finished doing everything, he looked up at the time. It was already 10 am.
He took off the apron hurriedly and walked out. After grabbing his coat, he left.
He had just reached the door when Ji Chen called him. “Mr. Si, everything is settled. I will bring Ms. Mi to the apartment entrance now.”
Upon him hearing this, Si Zhengting’s eyes narrowed as he stopped in his tracks.
He had thought only of how Nainai might wake up today and completely forgot about this. Hence, he turned around suddenly and went to sit down on the couch. Thereafter, he glanced at his watch repeatedly with an impatient expression on his face.
After around two minutes, the doorbell finally rang. The security officer rushed over and opened the door quickly. When the door opened, Ji Chen and Mi Nuo could be seen standing at the entrance of the Si residence.
Mi Nuo was way too excited after seeing her condition in the ward.
Ding Mengya’s condition had been unstable for the past few days, so she had been allocated to stay in the hotel. But was Ji Chen finally allowing her to return today?
Was she finally becoming Mrs. Si?
