But why?
The extremely-troubled Mr. Si did not know what to do at all.
After work, he watched as Zhuang Nainai grabbed her clothes and went downstairs without him. At that moment, Si Zhengting finally realized that he must have offended her accidentally.
But how did he offend her?
His makeup skills were definitely top-notch because he’d hired an internationally-renowned makeup artist to teach him. Nainai was very simple-minded, so there was no way she could have recognized him. Still, he didn’t seem to remember offending her at all.
After racking his brains over this for a long time, he finally chased after her.
He had just reached the bottom floor when he saw Cheng Sizhe’s BMW stop in front of Zhuang Nainai. Zhuang Nainai was saying something.
Si Zhengting rushed over, only to hear Zhuang Nainai say, “It’s fine, really. We are not heading toward the same direction anyway. It’s too troublesome for you to go out of your way to send me home.”
Cheng Sizhe’s smile was very gentle. “You are a shareholder of the company now. Of course, I have to get on your good side. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have to declare bankruptcy immediately if you decide to withdraw your investment?”
Zhuang Nainai had wanted to say something when she noticed Xu Dazhi approaching from the corner of her eye. She frowned, nodded, and headed toward Cheng Sizhe’s car.
Just as she’d opened the car door, her arm was grabbed by Xu Dazhi.
Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows. Slightly taken aback, she looked at his hand.
Why does this feel so familiar?
While she was dazed, Xu Dazhi pulled her aside. Thereafter, he said as if something was lodged in his throat, “He clearly doesn’t have the best intentions toward you. Nainai, don’t be fooled.”
Doesn’t have the best intentions toward you? Don’t be fooled?
Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt like what he had said sounded like a joke. She pursed her lips and looked at Xu Dazhi. “What do you mean he doesn’t have the best intentions toward me?”
Si Zhengting was stunned.
“He likes me and is pursuing me. Do you think I’m being fooled by accepting his pursuit?” Zhuang Nainai smiled. “What about you?”
Si Zhengting realized that he had nothing to say to that.
Zhuang Nainai smiled again. “Furthermore, who are you to say this? How are you related to me?”
I am the father of your children!
That sentence almost escaped Si Zhengting’s mouth, but… he couldn’t say it.
He shut his mouth, only to see Zhuang Nainai turn around and shake him off. Then, she walked toward Cheng Sizhe’s car.
As Si Zhengting watched the car drive away from his original spot, he suddenly felt… gloomy.
How was he going to deal with this woman?
After Cheng Sizhe’s car drove past one street and made a turn, Zhuang Nainai pointed ahead and said, “Just drop me off there.”
Cheng Sizhe was slightly taken aback, so Zhuang Nainai said with a smile, “I suddenly feel like going to buy some stuff from the mall over there, so you can just drop me off here. I’ll take the bus home later.”
Cheng Sizhe: “…”
The car pulled over and Zhuang Nainai got off the car. She waved at him before disappearing into the shopping mall entrance.
Watching her back, he suddenly felt slightly depressed. Why did he feel like he had become a shield?
And this was his first time pursuing a woman, yet it seemed like he was going to fail.
Cheng Sizhe smiled subtly and shook his head. There were many days to come. What’s the rush?
—
Si Zhengting was butt-hurt, very butt-hurt.
He was having difficulties falling asleep. Despite tossing and turning around on the bed, he still could not fall asleep. At the thought of how Zhuang Nainai had forced him to wear those clothes, he just felt unpleasant.
