Chapter 53: It is…… Him

 

A tall man enters the office.

Zhuang Nai Nai’s words remain stuck in her throat as they all look at the person who has just entered. He is wearing a black suit, looking gentle and elegant.  It is…..

“Assistant Ji?” Gu Xing Shan says in shock.

Ji Chen is neither haughty nor subservient.  He looks at Zhuang Nai Nai’s wrist that is being held tight by Gu De Shou.

Gu De Shou immediately lets go before stepping towards him with a smile, “Assistant Ji, why are you here?”

Zhuang Nai Nai is shocked.  She stares at Ji Chen with a gaped mouth.  If Ji Chen is here, does that means…..

Zhuang Nai Nai looks behind him in anticipation.

Her originally punctured heart is now filled with hope.

However, there is no one behind Ji Chen.

Where is Si Zheng Ting?

A bitter smile floats on her lips as she secretly scorns herself.  What is she expecting?

Why would he come?

Sourness rises in her heart as she swallows heavily before looking at Ji Chen.

What is he doing here?

Is he sent here by Si Zheng Ting to dissolve their marriage agreement?

No!

Remembering her mother who is in Gu De Shou’s hand, she bites her lips anxiously.

She cannot just sit still and watch the drama unfolds!

Her eyes flash as she rushes towards Ji Chen.  She grabs Ji Chen by the arm before sweetly saying, “Is Mr. Si too busy to come?  It’s okay, no need to rush.  But he should’ve just called instead of personally sending you here.”

As she says that, she sends Ji Chen a pleading look:  Help me, Assistant Ji!  Please help me!

Zhuang Nai Nai knows that Ji Chen is different compared to Da Shan, Xiao Shan and Da Zhuang when it comes to their positions near Si Zheng Ting.  And he never seems to try to keep her away from Si Zheng Ting too.

Maybe he will help if she asks him to.

What she does not notice is that the moment she holds his harm, Ji Chen turns rigid and cautiously looks out at a black car that is parked outside.

He can almost feel that sharp glance that is resting on his arm that is being hold by Zhuang Nai Nai.

His arm suddenly feels like it is burning.

Ji Chen really wants to push her hand away, but will he get into trouble if he treats her like that?

He clears his throat and secretly takes a step back.

At this moment, Gu Xing Shan sweetly speaks up, “Sister, is Mr. Si really busy or is he sending his assistant to inform us of his decision to break the engagement?  Maybe Mr. Si does not like you anymore.  Registering your marriage will not take that long, how come he cannot even spare his time for this?”

When Gu De Shou hears that, he looks at Zhuang Nai Nai in shock.  He frowns, “Didn’t Mr. Si said that everything has been arranged?  What is going on?”
