After seeing her take two sips of water, Si Zhengting proceeded to pass her the apple, which was bought just now, after peeling it.
Then, he arched his brow as he looked at her.
Zhuang Nainai was slightly puzzled, but she understood him shortly after. She waved her hands at him. “I’m fine, you can go.”
Only then did he sit back down before the laptop. He said to Ji Chen, “Continue.”
Ji Chen: “…!!”
So, you suddenly interrupted the meeting earlier just to bring Madam a glass of water and an apple?
However!
Madam’s hands are working just fine, aren’t they? Or does the water you pour taste sweeter?!
Sitting at the other end of the couch unassumingly, Zhuang Nainai listened to Si Zhengting and Ji Chen discuss work-related matters.
As they were talking, Zhuang Nainai realized from their conversation that Si Zhengting seemed to have encountered some problems and he had to head to the office.
He tried his best to avoid going to the office, but Ji Chen was very anxious.
Zhuang Nainai couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you just head to the office? I…”
Upon saying this, Zhuang Nainai saw Si Zhengting turn his head to look over and she pressed her lips together. “I happen to want to go to the office and take a look. The design drafts have been submitted, but I don’t know if the apparels have been made and sold. If they are already available for sale, I wonder how the sales are doing? Oh, right, we have to start preparing the spring apparels too.”
After saying these things, she suddenly realized something. “Oh, my god. I’m also the Deputy Director of the fashion design department and I’m in charge of everything. Si Zhengting, let’s quickly head to work.”
Si Zhengting: “…”
The doctor had already confirmed that Zhuang Nainai’s signs of a threatened miscarriage had already waned. Furthermore, going out and interacting with more people would be helpful in soothing her emotions. She also had a group of friends in the office.
After hesitating for a moment, Si Zhengting finally agreed.
Hence, Si Zhengting stood up and told Ji Chen, “I’m heading to the office.”
A few moments later, he closed the lid of the laptop and proceeded to pack several items. He went to the kitchen to wash a small plate of grapes and stored them in a ziplock bag. Then, he cut two slices of cantaloupe and grabbed a few pieces of egg steamed cake and snacks. By the time they were about to head out, he had his laptop in one hand and a big bag in the other.
Looking at the big bag of food, Zhuang Nainai couldn’t help but ask, “You’re hungry?”
He had never had the habit of snacking, so why was he bringing so much food to work this time?
Si Zhengting glanced at her nonchalantly and explained, “These are for you.”
Zhuang Nainai: “…!!”
After both of them had reached the office, Si Zhengting first passed her the grapes. “Eat this first. In one hour, have some snacks. In another half an hour, have a slice of cantaloupe.”
Zhuang Nainai: “…!!”
She’s not a pig!
As she watched Si Zhengting leave after all the fuss, Zhuang Nainai could finally heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt blissful.
She went to the 18th floor first and greeted all her colleagues. Then, she asked about the response to the sales of the apparels. It was only after they answered that she found out that the sales of their apparels this season were extremely good and that they’d received tons of praises online.
Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt that all her tireless hard work during that period of time had not gone to waste, evoking a sense of achievement in her.
She headed to her own office. After finishing the grapes, she stared outside the window quietly. There was no one whom she could share her joy with.
If Mother was still here, she would have told her, “My Nainai is so amazing!”
However, Mother, where are you exactly? Why can’t we find you?
