Surrounded by crowds of people, he strode over from a distance.
Even though the venue was packed with people, Zhuang Nainai’s gaze landed on him immediately.
It had been a month since she had seen him. It seemed like he lost weight.
There were even faint dark circles under his eyes, which were probably caused by pulling all-nighters. He looked paler than before, but his expression was still nonchalant. As his gaze shifted and landed on Zhuang Nainai, her heart skipped a beat and she was filled with anticipation.
However, his gaze was fixed on her for only a second before it shifted away.
His dark eyes still looked very profound, so much so that no one could tell what was on his mind.
In that moment, Zhuang Nainai stared straight at him as she was hit by a wave of mixed emotions.
Anger, confusion, bitterness, and some sort of grievance overwhelmed her. However, as she experienced all these emotions, she realized that she actually missed him more.
She missed him.
Throughout the entire month, she missed him like crazy.
She did not tell anyone why she had been so compliant when they asked her to rest. She had spent most of her time sleeping every day. This was because he and she were still together in her dreams.
An inexplicable sense of anguish overwhelmed her, causing her nose to sting and eyes to turn red. She bit on her lip forcefully so that she would not lose her cool and break down in front of everyone.
Clenching her fists tightly, she watched as he approached them step by step. Then, the man stopped in front of them.
Zhuang Nainai continued to stare at him dejectedly. Her plan to throw the bank card at his face ceased to exist now.
Her brain had already stopped working. She was just staring at him blankly.
However, he wasn’t even looking at her as he stretched out his hand toward Cheng Sizhe. “Hello, Mr. Cheng.”
“Hello.” Cheng Sizhe’s gentle voice could be heard. After Cheng Sizhe shook hands with Si Zhengting, he looked at Zhuang Nainai and introduced her to Si Zhengting. “This is Ms. Zhuang, my partner for this event.”
Upon hearing this, Si Zhengting finally looked over at her.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes had already watered. Biting her lip, she forced out a smile that was uglier than a crying face. “M-Mr. Si…”
Anguish flashed across Si Zhengting’s dark eyes very quickly. It vanished instantly. He nodded nonchalantly before looking at Cheng Sizhe again. “Mr. Cheng, thank you for attending our socializing event. Hope you have fun here.”
“For sure. I also want to thank Mr. Si for inviting me. This trip here has been really worthwhile.” After saying this, he turned to glance at Zhuang Nainai with an even wider smile.
Si Zhengting nodded nonchalantly and turned around. “I have something else to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Cheng Sizhe nodded. “Please go ahead.”
After the brief farewell, Si Zhengting suddenly turned around and headed toward the direction he came from.
He left?
He left just like that?!
Throughout the entire time, he didn’t ask about her recuperation nor how she was doing. He did not even interact with her at all and he just left?!
Suddenly, Zhuang Nainai was overwhelmed by fury. As she stared at his back, the fire in her heart burned viciously. She shouted toward Si Zhengting suddenly, “Si Zhengting!”
