Hello, Heir

Zhuang Nainai jumped about on the carpet. Except for feeling a little sore, her ankle really didn’t hurt a single bit anymore. She then looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall.

It was already 8 pm!

Recalling that Si Jingyu and Shi Jinyan were downstairs, Zhuang Nainai said hastily, “Sister and Brother-in-law…”

“I told them to dig in first,” Si Zhengting replied coldly.

He placed the massage essential oil back properly, then walked towards the bathroom to wash his hands.

Zhuang Nainai felt apologetic. She followed him from behind and stood at the bathroom door. “Is it really alright if we… don’t eat with them?”

It seemed that, a moment ago, Si Zhengting had left all of a sudden not because he was angry at her for not telling him the truth but because he had to head downstairs and tell them to dig in first.

He did this so as to not make things difficult for her, right?

Si Zhengting was washing his hands very thoroughly, his gaze fixed on his fingers. Yet, from the corner of his eyes, he looked at the person standing at the door through the mirror.

Upon seeing how unstable she was, he unconsciously wrinkled his brows, then said indifferently, “How do you intend to keep them company while looking like this?”

He was harsh with his words but soft at heart!

Zhuang Nainai curled her lips and pressed her lips together while smiling at him like a love-struck fool.

Si Zhengting simply couldn’t withstand her gaze. He came out after wiping his hands. “You cried a moment ago and now you’re laughing. Do you think you’re a three-year-old child?”

While rebuking her, he unconsciously wore an intimate expression.

Zhuang Nainai took advantage of the opportunity and locked arms with him. While currying his favor, she said, “I won’t be like this next time.”

As always, Si Zhengting put on a taut expression and walked towards the bedroom. However, taking into account that someone’s leg was injured, he slowed down his footsteps. When he walked to the front of the bed, he sat down, picked up the private phone, and dialed downstairs. The telephone line got through but he simply said a few words, “Bring it up.”

Zhuang Nainai gazed at him with confusion. What did he ask to be brought up? Then, she saw Si Zhengting pointing towards the bed.

Zhuang Nainai blinked her eyes. She wanted to say something but, looking at his expression, she knew that she couldn’t defy him. She didn’t manage to say anything. Instead, she walked over obediently, lay down on the bed, and covered herself with the blanket while leaning against the head of the bed. Under the blanket, she covered her stomach with her hands.

She didn’t eat much in the afternoon as she was busy worrying about who TZ could be. Right now, she was already very famished!

Just as she was complaining in her heart about how overbearing and autocratic this man was, she heard a knock on the door.

Si Zhengting stood up and walked over.

Since he was at home, he dressed casually in a white shirt and a pair of black pants. Even so, this style of dressing couldn’t conceal his noble and elegant disposition.

As the door opened, a fragrant smell brushed against her face.

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes brightened up in an instant. She stretched her neck and looked towards the door.

It smelled like… chicken noodle soup?

As she was guessing, she saw Si Zhengting walking towards her while carrying a bowl of steaming hot noodles. He placed it on the coffee table, unfolded a small wooden table, and placed it on the bed before carrying the bowl of noodles over.

Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

She was not used to such an affectionate gesture and delicate tenderness.

When Si Zhengting placed the chopsticks in her hands, she lowered her head and held it in her hands. Upon feeling how hard the chopsticks were, she became very sure that she wasn’t dreaming.

Zhuang Nainai felt a tingling in her nose all of a sudden. Feeling the urge to tear up, she momentarily lowered her head while trying to conceal her emotions. She picked up the noodles and ate them quickly.

At this very moment…

“Growl, growl…” Suddenly, a weird sound could be heard.
