But what right does she have to warn Zhuang Nai Nai?
Zhuang Nai Nai angrily clenches her fists. Every single muscle in her body seem to have tensed up. Her brain feels empty as her heart feels suffocated; she is having a hard time reining in her tears.
She feels like she has been dunked into a pool of ice water.
It is at that moment that she hears Si Zheng Ting’s gentle whisper, “Nai Nai?”
She regains her composure and her head turns clear.
She looks at the woman in front of her who is outstretching her hand again, looking at Zhuang Nai Nai with meaningful eyes.
Her fingers are long and slender, like Si Zheng Ting’s. It makes her feel sick.
She takes a deep breath. She can feel Si Zheng Ting’s eyes on her without even turning to look at him.
If she does not reach out for that handshake, the enmity between them will be apparent. Si Zheng Ting will not be happy. But, can she really bring herself to touch Ding Mengya’s dirty hand?
She bites her lips, looking around for a moment before clutching her stomach, “Uh…..”
She looks up with an expression full of pain, “My tummy hurts, I need to go to the toilet.”
After saying that, she runs upstairs while clutching her stomach before locking herself up inside the bathroom.
Although the bathroom is huge, Zhuang Nai Nai feels suffocated, as though she cannot breathe.
She heaves heavily, trying to control her emotion.
She sits on the toilet, burying her face in her knees.
She just knew she would lose control if she sees Ding Mengya.
How dare that woman show her face in front of her?
10 minutes later, she finally manages to calm herself down.
Once she is sure that she can keep her emotions in check, Zhuang Nai Nai stands up and walks out of the bathroom, straight into someone’s chest.
Someone grabs hold of her shoulders. She looks up and finds Si Zheng Ting staring expressionlessly at her.
She promptly panics. She remembers that she didn’t even flush the toilet. Just as she racks her brain, trying to find an excuse, he speaks first, “Don’t be nervous.”
Zhuang Nai Nai: “…………..Ah?”
What is he talking about?
Si Zheng Ting’s eyes look deep. He does not look upset at all, “My mother is a nice person, don’t be nervous.”
Zhuang Nai Nai: ……………
He thought she was nervous?
But now that she thinks about it, if she hadn’t met Ding Mengya 5 years ago, she would have been a nervous wreck right now.
Zhuang Nai Nai decides to play along, “My performance was so bad just now, will your mom hate me?”
She only wants to see if Ding Mengya has spoken ill of her.
‘His’ mom? Si Zheng Ting unconsciously frowns. He shakes his head, “We did not have the chance to speak. She told me to go up and check on you.”
Something flashes in Zhuang Nai Nai’s eyes. This mother-in-law is not a simple character!
