The moment she said that, the atmosphere inside the car turns rigid.
The driver really wants to turn himself into thin air. He does not dare to even breathe too heavily, lest he draws their attention.
Si Zheng Ting slowly turns towards her, training his pitch black eyes on her face. She cannot tell what he is feeling at the moment.
“What are you trying to say?” he asks in an indifferent tone.
What is she trying to say? She wants to ask him whether he likes her or not!
If he really does like her, albeit 5 years late, all those chasing she did back in high school will not be for nothing.
In the end, she cannot bring herself to say anything.
Si Zheng Ting suddenly wants to laugh at himself. He looks away, training his eyes back to the view outside, “Let me tell you this, Gu Qing Yan, I do not have the plan to divorce.”
She freezes. She has no idea why her insides feel so tight whenever he calls her Gu Qing Yan. It is hard for her to even breathe.
She looks at him in confusion, not understanding why he is bringing that up.
Si Zheng Ting speaks again, “It is only natural for me to understand my own wife’s preference.”
Zhuang Nai Nai clenches her fists.
So he only did all that because she is his wife, just like how he treated her well 5 years ago because she was his girlfriend.
Only out of formality and because he feels obligated to.
Zhuang Nai Nai cannot even begin to describe the emotion that she is feeling at the moment.
What was she expecting? What was she looking forward to?
She does not say anything and the atmosphere inside the car turns quiet again.
Si Zheng Ting glances at her, frowning.
She is unhappy?
Now that he thinks about it, his words did seem a little excessive just now.
His heart feels constricted when he sees that look in her face. He loosens his tie. He does not understand whom exactly he is hurting by saying all those words: her or himself?
He sighs when he sees that crestfallen look on her face. In the end, he says, “Let’s forget everything that happened in the past.”
Zhuang Nai Nai looks at him: What does he mean by that?
Her usually dull brain suddenly manages to process everything the moment she sees the expression on Si Zheng Ting’s face.
He is saying: Everything that has passed has passed. Let’s have a new beginning.
Does that mean that he will try to like her again?
Zhuang Nai Nai’s heart is filled with joy, tears almost fall from her eyes.
She tries to rein in her emotion before she nods at him. She bites her lips as she says, “En….. I will try my best to be a good wife. Let’s start all over again.”
After she says that, the atmosphere between them turns light. One can almost slice through the joy that radiates from them.
Her heart jumps erratically. This is the happiest she has ever been after their reunion.
Even Si Zheng Ting’s mood has taken a turn for the better.
The silence in the car feels a little awkward, afterwards.
Zhuang Nai Nai tries her best to make small talks, “Tomorros is the weekend, we don’t have to go to work…… What will you be doing tomorrow?”
Tomorrow?
Si Zheng Ting suddenly remembers something. “We will go home tomorrow. My mother would like to see you,” although his voice is cold, it is peaceful and gentle as well.
Zhuang Nai Nai suddenly turns rigid.
She will meet his…… mother?
Her pupils shrink as she stares at him in fear.
