She herself was shocked by the fact that she had shouted like that.
What kind of a mistake did she just make?
But since she had already made an embarrassment of herself, she might as well go all the way!
Zhuang Nainai held him tightly from behind.
Si Zhengting stiffened.
All of a sudden, his cold and hardened heart warmed a little.
Then he began to despise himself. It was only an occasional act of warmth and he had already softened. Would he only be happy when she abandoned him once more?
His lips tightened into an angle of helplessness and heartache.
And then he cruelly tried to push her away again.
At this point in time, a voice rang out. “Sir, Madam, do both of you… need something?”
Si Zhengting was stunned, then realized that the butler and several housekeepers had heard the sounds and, upon opening the door, were now looking on shell-shocked at the direction of the staircase.
He cast a glance at the woman who was hugging him from behind, then sighed inwardly.
Coldly, he said, “Nothing.”
With that, he grabbed Zhuang Nainai’s arm and dragged her into the study room.
“Bang!”
The room’s door was closed.
The study room was in darkness.
Zhuang Nainai stumbled, subconsciously trying to get to the light switch on the wall, but something suddenly grabbed her wrists. Stunned, she asked in puzzlement, “Si Zhengting?”
“Zhuang Nainai.” In the darkness, she could only tell that he was near her, but other than that, she had no way of seeing his facial expressions.
The only thing was, his voice had been pressed much lower than usual.
Zhuang Nainai grunted in reply, then grabbed his hand. “What’s up?”
He simply stood in silence for a while.
Si Zhengting didn’t know what he wanted to say; it was just that, suddenly, he didn’t want her to switch on the lights.
It was as if the darkness hid all the plots and schemes, and were the lights to come on, they would all be exposed.
And what would happen to them if the lights came on, seeing how they were now able to speak amicably in the darkness?
But light was inevitable.
He stood silent for a moment, then let go of her hands.
Zhuang Nainai switched on the room lights. Unable to adjust to the sudden light, having been in darkness for a while, she lifted her hands up to block it.
It was only when she got used to it that she lowered her hands and realized that Si Zhengting was looking at her.
His gaze was rather odd.
Seeing that she now looked at him, he turned around and threw his jacket onto the sofa. Sitting down, he asked impatiently, “What are you doing, looking for me at this late hour?”
He knew he was asking the obvious.
But he suddenly just wanted to see what method she would use on him to make him relent.
Zhuang Nainai couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but it seemed as though he wasn’t angry. Decisively, she sat down opposite him. “Si Zhengting, I think the issue about the design drafts is a bit fishy.”
She began to give her analysis. “I didn’t suspect it much earlier in the day, thinking that it was the Gu Corporation who had stolen the Imperial Group’s design drafts. But the more I think about it, the fishier it gets. Could I have a look at the Imperial Group’s design drafts?”
Have a look at the design drafts?
Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes but still flung Si Jingyu’s design drafts over.
Zhuang Nainai took a glance and was stupefied. “Why are Sister’s drafts exactly the same as mine? Has there been a misunderstanding somewhere?”
