However, just when she managed to take two steps, she heard Shi Yuting’s deep voice from behind her.
“Where are you going?”
Zuo Weiyi stopped and turned her head to look at him.
She frowned. “I… need to go to the bathroom.”
Li Chengcheng looked up from the document at Zuo Weiyi as well. “The second door is the bathroom.”
Zuo Weiyi nodded. “Thank you.”
Then, she turned around and left.
“I’ll accompany you.”
Shi Yuting threw down the document in his hand and stood up without thinking.
“There’s no need. You guys can continue talking.” She felt that he was making too much of a fuss about her going to the bathroom.
She was going to the bathroom and no where else. Even if he went with her, there was nothing he could do.
The disgusting feeling in her chest grew stronger. Before she said any more, she turned around and rushed out of the study room!
Shi Yuting was about to take a step forward when Li Chengcheng stood up at this moment. “Mr. Shi, you must love your wife very much.”
Hearing this, Shi Yuting stopped in his tracks, stunned.
He turned around and looked at her with a frown.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that Shi Yuting loved his wife so much—there was no need to say it out loud.
Li Chengcheng met his dark eyes and quickly explained. She smiled and said, “Mr. Shi, please don’t think too much about it. The reason I said that was because I was a little surprised.
“When my father was still alive, I rarely came back to China. But I heard some rumors about you not being close to women. Now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, those rumors don’t seem to be true.”
“Well, that’s because at that time, I still hadn’t met my wife,” Shi Yuting said before turning around to leave.
As he had already left the study room, he didn’t notice Li Chengcheng’s unconsciously tightened fists and the sudden disappearance of her smile. However, she recovered instantly unsuspiciouly.
In the bathroom, Zuo Weiyi was bent over the sink, vomiting for a while. Other than bile, there was nothing else.
Fortunately, her chest felt much better after vomiting.
She looked at herself in the mirror before leaving the bathroom.
She did not return to the study. Instead, she chose the opposite direction and went downstairs because she was a little thirsty.
When she arrived at the hall on the first floor, almost all the drinks were alcoholic, but she could not drink alcohol.
It was not easy for her to find plain water. After pouring herself a glass, she walked out the door.
The more she stayed indoors, the stuffier her chest felt, so she went outside to get some air.
As soon as she stepped out, she felt a burst of coldness. Wearing only a strapless gown, she started shivering from the cold.
She turned and looked over her shoulder. She had left her coat in the study on the second floor.
Because it was too cold, Zuo Weiyi quickly returned to the hall after taking a breather.
Just as she turned around, she bumped into a figure on her way out as she was going in.
She staggered and grabbed the door handle to stabilize herself.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”
The person who bumped into her realized that it was her fault and immediately apologized.
Zuo Weiyi paused when she heard this voice.
This voice…
She stared blankly at the person who kept apologizing to her. Only when she raised her head did Zuo Weiyi confirm that she had not mistaken her for someone else.
