Chapter 84: What are Your Responsibilities, Mrs. Si?

 

Her stare is too burning, causing Si Zheng Ting’s ears to turn red.

His eyes turn deep as he suddenly remembers the time when she accidentally splashed him with mushroom soup.

Back then, he was so angry that he ignored her.  He thought that she would be embarrassed and would leave him be for the next couple of days.  Who would have thought that after their class ended, she would send someone to give him a letter?

Her writing was twisty and turny, just like her very own person.

Classmate Si Zheng Ting:

After what happened today, I finally realized that chasing after you requires mastering martial arts.  Don’t worry, next time, I will not drop mushroom soup on you!

Si Zheng Ting stared at the letter with large eyes.  Why was this girl so shameless and stubborn?

When he remembers that, Si Zheng Ting’s eyes turn warm.  He looks at Zhuang Nai Nai who is lazily playing with her chopsticks.  Even when bored, she looks attractive.

Her willow-like eyebrows, her long lashes, her brilliant dark eyes…  Even her chin looks attractive.

The look in Si Zheng Ting’s eyes changes when he remembers their madness last night.

And then, his eyes fall on her cheek.  There is a streak of red on her otherwise fair cheek.

In the blink of an eye, all sorts of warmth disappear from him.  He narrows his eyes coldly.

He slams his chopsticks on the table, plunging the dining area into silence.  Zhuang Nai Nai looks at him in shock.

What is it again?

He was clearly fine earlier on.

Is it still because of the unpleasant thing that caused him to smash his phone?

Zhuang Nai Nai carefully eyes his expression, gently placing her chopsticks on the table.  She lowers her head, putting her two hands on her laps, looking very obedient and demure.

The housekeeper is utterly speechless when he sees all this.  Seems like the madam’s head is not on the same plane as theirs’….

Even Si Zheng Ting does not know what to say when he looks at her; he stares at her, frozen.

After a while, seeing Zhuang Nai Nai’s ‘don’t talk to me, I have nothing to do with you’ look, Si Zheng Ting takes a deep breath, suppressing the madness in his heart.

“Zhuang Nai Nai!”

She automatically raises her head and unconsciously answers, “Sir, yes, sir!”

What a weird conversation.

The maids cannot endure this anymore and look away.

Si Zheng Ting raises his eyebrows.

The housekeeper quickly signals the maids to go away, in which they did, silently.

If they wait any longer, they wouldn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

Zhuang Nai Nai on the other hand, looks at Si Zheng Ting curiously, wondering why he called for her.

After a while, Si Zheng Ting finally opens his mouth, “Zhuang Nai Nai, what are your responsibilities as Mrs. Si?”

What responsibilities?

She suddenly remembers what he said last night; he only married her to get an heir.  Does that mean that her biggest responsibility is to give him a child?
