Chapter 98: Don’t Call Me Madam
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was a rest area in the pantry with a few tables and adorable accompanying chairs.
Ji Chen was having tea with desserts.
Zhuang Nainai looked around hurriedly at his words and only calmed down after she made sure no one else was in the pantry.
She put her finger to her lips to hush him and walked over to where he was sitting. She then instructed in a low voice, “When we are outside, do not call me Madam.”
Ji Chen raised his brows, worried about the sudden proximity between the two of them.
The look Mr. Si gave him today was still giving him chills now.
Ji Chen stood up lightly and moved away from her. “Why?”
Zhuang Nainai plonked down in the chair facing Ji Chen and stared in front of her, a little dazed. “After our marriage, Si Zhengting has not made a announcement about it, nor is there a wedding. I suppose it’s a secret? He must not want people to know me, perhaps…”
He found her embarrassing?
The Gu family could never match up to him, and on top of that, she had lived her life as a poor commoner.
Zhuang Nainai paused and hung her head low. “Well, your Sir doesn’t want to announce it, so you better not say anything.”
Ji Chen’s lips twitched, and he sighed.
Madam had left Mr. Si years ago, and that incident left a scar in his heart. So even though he still liked her now, he could not express his feelings easily.
And what about Madam?
Was she looking guilty and regretful now?
Ji Chen wanted to offer some piece of advice, but he stopped when he looked up and met Zhuang Nainai’s glittering eyes.
He suddenly recalled Mr. Si’s fit of jealous rage and decided that he should keep out of their business or he could be blamed.
He had to stay far away from Madam in the future!
Ji Chen nodded and made for the exit. “Then, Madam, I shall leave first.”
Ji Chen left the pantry, and Zhuang Nainai started working on the coffee machine.
She found a tray and started loading it with all the drinks. She was on her way out when a girl suddenly appeared at the door.
The girl had her head lowered and was deep in thought. She did not notice Zhuang Nainai, and Zhuang Nainai was not able to avoid her in time while carrying the laden tray. They collided at the door.
“Ahh!”
“Ouch!”
Shouts of surprise sounded and coffee was spilled on the hem of the girl’s skirt.
Zhuang Nainai’s heart leaped to her mouth. She placed her tray down on the floor, looking at the girl. “Are you alright? Were you scalded?”
The girl arranged her shirt and spoke at the same time, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t see where I was going.”
Zhuang Nainai thought she was doomed when she collided with the girl.
The other party must be furious and would never let it go if a newcomer spilled coffee on her.
But surprisingly, she was apologizing to her instead?
Zhuang Nainai looked up to see a short girl with a round and kind face.
The girl looked at her and smiled. “I’m fine, I’m not hurt. I know you, you must be the newcomer that joined us today. I’m Zhang Tingting, from the fashion design team.”
Fashion design?
Zhang Tingting glanced in and saw that the drinks were all spilled. She stuck out her tongue and apologized again. “I was thinking of a design and didn’t watch my way. I’m so sorry to make you spill your drinks, let me help you get new ones!”
Zhuang Nainai nodded. “Sure!”
