Hello, Heir

Si Zhengting is a workaholic??

Zhuang Nainai blinked. If she hadn’t been by his side from morning to night during this period, she would’ve probably believed what they said.

However… he almost never came to work last week. The week before last, he didn’t seem to be very busy either?

During the weekend, he was simply reading a magazine and doing his own things.

The Imperial Group is a big corporation, but!

The Imperial Group has so many employees, Si Zhengting shouldn’t be in charge of too many things, right?

Even so, Zhuang Nainai didn’t want to correct their mistake.

After she regained her senses, she looked at Su Mei, who was waiting for her reply. She then shook her head. “I’m not going.”

Su Mei knitted her brows and pushed Zhuang Nainai. “Zhuang Nainai, you’ve been working here for so long, but you’re so boring, going home straight after work. Are you going on a date with a handsome man?”

A date?

Was a date with her husband at home counted?

Zhuang Nainai grinned from ear to ear and didn’t answer.

Su Mei immediately understood what was going on, packed her things, and left.

Zhuang Nainai picked up her cell phone and sent Si Zhengting a text message, asking him if he had clocked out. After receiving a positive reply, she eagerly ran towards the underground car park.

Upon reaching downstairs, she saw the headlights of a car light up. Si Jingyu waved at her from inside. “Get on the car, I’ll bring you home!”

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes brightened up as she ran over.

Si Zhengting was in a bad mood the whole day.

During noon, his lunchbox arrived and he waited for Zhuang Nainai on the top floor to have lunch with her. After ten minutes, just as he was about to give Zhuang Nainai a call, he received a text message from Si Jingyu.

“I’ll borrow Nainai for a while, we’ll be having Sichuan cuisine.”

Upon seeing those words, Si Zhengting raised his brows and immediately replied, “Where?”

Just as he stood up, took his jacket, and was about to leave, he received a text message from Si Jingyu again.

“You’re late, we’re already at the restaurant.”

Si Zhengting was speechless.

Did Si Jingyu just take the initiative to bring Zhuang Nainai out without informing him first?

The problem was, Zhuang Nainai actually abandoned him?

At that moment, Si Zhengting’s expression remained the same. However, for the whole afternoon, executive assistant Ji Chen could feel tension in the room.

It wasn’t easy for him to pull through ’til the end of work, when he received Zhuang Nainai’s text message.

“It’s time to go home, are you leaving?”

Si Zhengting smoothened out his eyes and brows. He picked up his cell phone and replied, “I’m leaving.”

To prevent Zhuang Nainai from waiting too long at the basement, he didn’t even bother to pack his briefcase. He picked up his jacket and took the private lift for the President. However…

Ji Chen looked at his Sir’s gloomy and dark face. He couldn’t help but check his surroundings. Madam, where are you?!

Just as he was about to give Zhuang Nainai a call, Si Zhengting’s cell phone rang. Zhuang Nainai said excitedly, “Si Zhengting, Sister and I will head home first. Come back early, we’ll wait for you to have dinner together.”

Si Zhengting was shocked and speechless.

He returned home unhappily, driving the Maybach at breakneck speed. Although he left a few minutes later than Zhuang Nainai and Si Jingyu, he managed to arrive home before them.

Yet, just as he sat down on the sofa, his cell phone rang for a couple of times. He picked it up and saw Si Jingyu’s text message.

“l’ll bring Nainai out for dinner.”

Si Zhengting was shocked and speechless.

When Zhuang Nainai and Si Jingyu entered the living room, Si Zhengting’s expression didn’t look good at all.

They greeted him and sneakily headed upstairs.

Si Zhengting knitted his brows repeatedly. Just as he was about to stand up and follow them upstairs, he heard the ringing of a cell phone.

It turned out that while Zhuang Nainai was changing her shoes, she had conveniently placed her cell phone on the shoe rack.

He walked over and picked it up. Gu Deshou’s voice came through from the other side. “Qingyan, have you gotten the design drafts? Autumn and winter are coming soon, we’ve to manufacture the goods and replenish the stocks soon…”

Design drawings?

Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes.

Design drawings?

Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep, clear voice, “What design drafts?”

Ever since she had returned from the Gu’s, Zhuang Nainai began acting strangely. Could Gu Deshou have given her a mission?

Upon hearing a man’s voice all of a sudden, Gu Deshou was startled and he panicked. “Mr… Mr. Si?”

Si Zhengting coldly acknowledged it, narrowed his eyes, and probed again, “What design drafts?”

Gu Deshou swallowed his saliva, extremely nervous. “No-nothing.”

He said it was nothing, but his voice revealed his guilty conscience.

Si Zhengting’s gaze dimmed again.

Even through the phone, Gu Deshou could feel a flood of cold air. He tried very hard to change the topic. “Mr. Si, are you and Qingyan doing fine?”

Si Zhengting replied in passing, “Yes.”

Gu Deshou asked again, “Would you like to come over for a meal this weekend?”

Si Zhengting said in a perfunctory manner, “We’ll see first.”

“Sure, sure. Mr. Si, please carry on with your work, I’ll hang up first.”

After the call ended, Si Zhengting held onto Zhuang Nainai’s cell phone and was deep in thought.

He headed upstairs while holding the cell phone.

The villa was like a castle; there were so many rooms even on the second floor. Si Zhengting walked faster and caught up with Zhuang Nainai and Si Jingyu.

Si Jingyu was walking in front while Zhuang Nainai curiously followed her from behind. Both of them were looking at each other while smiling and talking.

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes were shining. “So those are small diamonds! No wonder they’re so sparkly and shiny! If it is so, how much is this wedding gown worth?!”

Si Jingyu conveniently waved her hands. “A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, one should spend on it no matter how much it costs. Besides, the Si family isn’t short of that small sum of money,” she said while giving off a nouveau-riche vibe that didn’t cause people to feel disgusted.

Both of them walked upstairs, across the master bedroom and across Si Jingyu’s bedroom, and then continued walking inside.

Upon hearing familiar footsteps behind them all of a sudden, Zhuang Nainai stopped in her tracks, turned around, and saw Si Zhengting following them.

Si Zhengting wore a sulky expression. “Where are both of you going?”

After being out for the whole day, they still aren’t returning to their rooms?

Unfortunately, Zhuang Nainai couldn’t read what was on his mind. Instead, her eyes brightened up.

Upon hearing this, Si Jingyu glanced at Si Zhengting in passing and said with a grin, “We’re going to see the wedding gown. You know of it too – the wedding gown designed by TZ! It’s causing a sensation in the industry! What’s the matter, do you want to follow us and take a look at it?”

As soon as she finished speaking, an awkward and slightly embarrassed look swept across Si Zhengting’s face. Unfortunately, it all happened in a flash. Zhuang Nainai didn’t react at all.

Si Jingyu looked at Si Zhengting. She proudly raised her brows at him, pulled Zhuang Nainai along, and continued walking.

Si Zhengting took a step forward and wanted to follow them, but he deliberated on the spot for a while, then headed towards the bedroom with Zhuang Nainai’s cell phone in his hand.

―

Zhuang Nainai never knew that the Si family’s villa was so huge!

She thought that the back corridor merely led to several bedrooms. Unexpectedly, as she walked across it, she realized that the back corridor was further divided into a few more corridors that extended toward the two sides.

Counting all of these rooms made the villa feel like a big hotel.

Moreover!

This villa had three floors!

In other words, the third floor had so many rooms as well?

Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath. She was then pulled along by Si Jingyu and continued walking toward the front.
