Is she hiding things from him because she doesn’t trust him enough, or is it because she doesn’t care for him enough?
Si Zheng Ting looks down, his eyes falling on her lips.
Because he sucked on her lips too hard, her lips is now swollen and bleeding.
She frowns while closing her eyes tight, her long lashes fluttering. He has hurt her again.
He clenches his fists.
Zhuang Nai Nai waits for his next move anxiously.
Unexpectedly, the pain never comes.
She opens her eyes in surprise, only to find him staring at her darkly.
The sight causes her to tremble. Her legs turn soft. She wants to say something, but cannot find it in her to.
At that moment, she sees him clenching his fist and aiming it towards her head.
She jumps in surprise. It is too late to run off, so she can only shrink her body as small as possible and closes her eyes tight.
‘Bang’
The sound of fist hitting the wall can be heard.
She opens her eyes. The wall next to her head is cracking and his fist is bleeding.
She stares at the scene wide-eyed. He used too much force that he probably broke his fingers!
Zhuang Nai Nai becomes anxious as hell. Just as she is about to touch his injured hand, he takes a step back and stares at her icily. Then, he turns around and walks away.
His steps are a little hurried as he walks away.
As soon as Si Zheng Ting steps out of his office, Ji Chen rushes towards him. When he sees the injury on his hand, Ji Chen says, “Sir, your hand…..”
Si Zheng Ting is expressionless as he walks on, stepping into the elevator.
He was really angry just now. He kept giving her the chance to tell the truth, but she never bothered to.
Her lips are bleeding. He didn’t want to hurt her even further. It is better to walk away right now.
Once Si Zheng Ting left, Zhuang Nai Nai slids down to the floor, her eyes staring ahead of her in deep thoughts.
Why did her ask her that?
Did Ding Mengya said something? Or did she make a poor job at hiding her hatred towards Ding Mengya?
Does he trust her explanation or not?
Back in high school, they were innocent and pure. She thought that she saw right through his haughtiness. She would later learn that she was too naïve.
He accepted her for one year and then smacked her back to reality.
A thread of bitterness flashes in her eyes. She had never dared to guess his thoughts.
She wonders if she is doing the right thing.
By the time she regains her composure, she walks out after him, but by then, he is no longer there.
Zhuang Nai Nai returns to the manor groggily. She is very worried about his hand. She ignores the housekeeper when he calls her to eat dinner and goes straight to their bedroom.
Serene: This chapter is so hard to translate :/ They are both so unlikeable, but the ML even more so.
