Su Jin Hui has replied her with, ‘No need to so courteous towards me, Junior Sister. Let’s help each other in the future.’
Zhuang Nai Nai sighs in relief, they are finally over the ‘treat me to a meal’ thingy.
Unexpectedly, she receives another message. From Si Zheng Ting.
She rubs her own eyes. Is she hallucinating?
She opens the message in fear, ‘We will eat dinner at mom’s place.’ The way he types is exactly the same as the way he speaks.
Zhuang Nai Nai immediately becomes anxious when she sees that message.
The top floor,
Si Zheng Ting returns to his office at 2:30 pm, feeling somewhat off.
His heart feels empty, as though he is missing something.
A certain someone’s smiling face flashes in his eyes, causing him to rub his own temple.
He has gotten used to living without her for the past 5 years, but now, after living with her for simply a couple of days, he is no longer used to a quiet atmosphere.
What is she doing at the moment?
He puts down his pen before picking up his phone. He types a short message and sends it to her.
He feels like his heart that has been calm for the past five years can no longer be contained.
Ji Chen who is standing beside him, waiting for his signature, can tell that something is off. Although Mr. Si appears normal, why does it feel like he is glancing at his phone a tad too much?
Besides, half an hour has passed, why isn’t Mr. Si signing the document yet?
Is there something wrong with the document?
The smart Ji Chen decides not to ask anything.
At 3pm, Si Zheng Ting’s phone suddenly vibrates. Ji Chen quickly raises his head, seemingly more excited than Si Zheng Ting himself.
However, although Mr. Si looks at the phone quickly, he still reads the document before finally signing it with his signature.
Ji Chen: ………………
If he hadn’t known Mr. Si so well, even he wouldn’t have believed that Mr. Si has been anticipating that message for the past half an hour.
Besides, he signed the documents so fast, isn’t he worried that there are something wrong with it?
Si Zheng Ting’s lips is unconsciously curled as he opens the message, ‘But I need to work overtime tonight, I don’t know when I’ll get to go home. You should go without me, I will follow you once I finish working.’
His eyes dim down a little when he reads that. Why does he get the feeling that Zhuang Nai Nai has been trying to avoid meeting his mother?
He replies her with, ‘En.’
And then, he calls Lady Ding and says, “We need to work overtime tonight, we can’t go to your place.”
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Zhuang Nai Nai wasn’t lying. Everyone in her department is working overtime. They only get to go home at 10 pm.
Everyone stretches their neck while walking out. Zhuang Nai Nai originally plans to ride the bus like everyone else, but when she looks up, she discovers that the light on the top floor are still on.
He hasn’t gone home.
She takes out her phone and types, ‘I have finished working. Are you going home with me?’
He quickly replies her with, ‘Let’s meet at the underground parking lot.’
And so, Zhuang Nai Nai bids her colleagues goodbye and heads over to the underground parking lot. After waiting there for around 5 minutes, she sees Si Zheng Ting walking towards her, followed by a couple of people.
Zhuang Nai Nai is very tired while Si Zheng Ting isn’t very talkative, so the journey home is pretty quiet.
The car stops in front of the house and as Zhuang Nai Nai walks out of the car, she finds a bright red Lamborghini parked in the courtyard.
They have a guest?
Just as she think of that, the housekeeper greets them and says, “Sir, Madam, the old Madam is here.”
Zhuang Nai Nai stares at him with wide eyes. She turns to look at the doorway and discovers a woman standing there.
