Hello, Heir

Chapter 852: Si Zhengting, You Scoundrel! (7)

Si Zhengting grabbed the towel and wiped his face seriously. Thereafter, he looked at his hand and asked nonchalantly, “How long have I been asleep?”

The butler looked at… his face oddly.

Si Zhengting raised his head and frowned in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

The butler snapped out of his trance and quickly answered, “It’s been a week.”

Then, the butler wet the towel again before passing it to him. “Sir, please wipe your face.”

Si Zhengting: “…”

The butler explained hurriedly, “You have not washed your face in a long time, so you should clean it well.”

Si Zhengting grabbed the towel and wiped his face seriously once again.

Butler: “…”

This lipstick is way too waterproof!

He has already wiped his face twice. How can it still look so obvious?!

The butler wet the towel again and passed it to Si Zhengting. “Sir…”

Si Zhengting lifted the blanket. “I’ll just wash my face.”

Immediately, the butler pressed down on his shoulders and wiped his face with the towel. “Sir, your hand is injured. Let me do it for you! Also, Sir, your face has become way too dirty after you’ve been asleep for an entire week!”

Si Zhengting: “…!!” Did he have to wipe his face so forcefully just because it’s dirty? Although people say that men usually have rough skin and thick flesh, why did he feel like his skin was about to be scrubbed off?!

For the next few days, Zhuang Nainai went back and forth between her house and the office, as well as the villa where her children were at. This became her routine.

Xu Dazhi still had not appeared in her house. Afterward, she had asked Su Yanbin about him several times, only to be told that Xu Dazhi had given up on wooing her. He was job hunting lately, so he was too busy to visit her.

Upon hearing this answer, Zhuang Nainai actually felt at ease. Slowly, she forgot about him.

There was one thing that was bugging her recently. That was… she had been working for half a month, but!

Why had the company not received any projects?

She would lug her laptop to work every day and use it in the office silently for the entire day. Then, she would proceed to get off work and lug her laptop back home.

She just felt like she was being paid for nothing.

When she looked at Cheng Sizhe, he just seemed very calm and relaxed, so much so that Zhuang Nainai felt like she was about to lose her mind.

One day, Zhuang Nainai went to work as usual. On the way there, she was on the phone with Lin Xi’er. She listened to Lin Xi’er complain, “My mother is really too much! She just refuses to acknowledge our relationship! I already eloped with him, yet she still refuses to give in.”

Zhuang Nainai asked, “What did Zhang Zhuo say?”

Zhang Zhuo was Lin Xi’er’s boyfriend. They met each other during their Lijiang trip. As Lin Xi’er was beautiful and had a great figure, she had many suitors. However, in the end, she chose to be with Zhang Zhuo, who was five years older than she was.

Zhuang Nainai had met Zhang Zhuo a few times. She did not have a particularly deep impression of him, but she didn’t think highly of him. After hearing what Lin Xi’er had said, she could not help but advise her, “Marriage is a serious matter. You should think this over.”

Lin Xi’er nodded. “I know. I have already thought of a plan to make my mother give in!”

Zhuang Nainai asked, “What plan?”

“Shotgun marriage!”

“Pfft!” Zhuang Nainai almost fainted from hearing what she said. She paused for a moment before asking nervously, “Are you pregnant?”

Lin Xi’er immediately started stammering.

Zhuang Nainai had wanted to say something when she realized that she already arrived at the office. Hence, she hastily told Lin Xi’er that they could continue talking after she got off work before ending the call.

When she entered the office, she saw Cheng Sizhe walking over excitedly. “Nainai, we have a new colleague in the office. His name is Xu Dazhi.”

Zhuang Nainai: “…!!”
