Hello, Heir

Then she heaved a sigh of relief, as though her mother would really be fine after Si Zhengting had said that she would be fine.

Her rationality slowly returned to her. Then, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his tie. “Si Zhengting, I want to go to Kentucky and look for my mother!”

As he heard this, Si Zhengting narrowed his long eyes.

A series of complicated emotions flashed past his eyes. However, after he saw Zhuang Nainai’s determined gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to reject her request.

A couple of sentences that Zhuang Nainai had said before flashed past his mind:

“Si Zhengting, what do you take me for?”

“Si Zhengting, if anything happens to my mother, I’ll never forgive her!”

Si Zhengting was speechless.

Those sentences stopped him from asking her to stay in the country.

The night was tranquil. He bent over to help her up. Although she was leaning against him in his embrace, she stared at him coolly, intellect shining in her eyes.

In this moment, Si Zhengting felt it once again — they were physically next to each other, but why did the distance between them feel so prominent?

After a moment, he lowered his head. He forced his assent from his cool lips, “Alright.”

After he said this, he pressed his lips together and clenched his jaw, as though he had never spoken. Then, he lowered his head slightly, heaving Zhuang Nainai into his arms. Then he took long strides out of the campus.

He knew that he was the person who was least qualified to leave her behind.

But if he couldn’t turn her request down, then he had to make sure that he was sufficiently prepared.

He carried her into the car, then drove off quickly toward the Si residence. On the way, he explained, “The fastest way to get to the state of Kentucky from here is to take a transfer flight. In that case, it’ll take us at least a day to get there. I’ll request for a private air route so that we can fly there in our private plane from home.”

If they took their own private jet, it would take only half a day to get to Kentucky.

And it was the method that would inflict the least mental suffering on both of them.

After he said this, Zhuang Nainai nodded. Si Zhengting reached out and gently pushed her head back toward the headrest. “Rest for a little first, we’ll leave later tonight.”

How could Zhuang Nainai possibly fall asleep?

Her heart was torn with anxiety. But she was also pregnant, and there was a limit to her energy. She leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes to rest her overly anxious mind. When she got home, she ate a little of the dinner that the butler had prepared for her. After that, Si Zhengting strongly requested for her to rest upstairs.

Zhuang Nainai lay on the bed. After Si Zhengting was sure that she was getting some rest, he closed the door and walked out.

He made a call to Ji Chen first. “Book me and Nainai tickets to Kentucky.”

After he hung up, he called air traffic control and the personnel in charge of the helicopters to request for his air route. As it was already quite late, many employees had already gotten off work.

And one usually had to request for these air routes a few days in advance. He had never had to make such an urgent request before.

But after Si Zhengting made numerous phone calls, he finally got hold of Long Qingtian and got the matter settled.

After he was done with these administrative tasks, he slowed down his footsteps and quietly returned to the bedroom. He found Zhuang Nainai sleeping already, perhaps due to how tired she had been from the activities of the day, or perhaps from being pregnant in general.

Her small face had gotten a little more plump after those past few days of nourishment. It seemed as though she was on her way to regaining the baby fat that she had had back in high school.

Her round, full face was full of collagen, and it was as though it was tempting others to squeeze her cheeks.

However, her sweet features were tense and her brow was furrowed. It seemed as though she couldn’t rest well even in her sleep.
