Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened. Because she had been speaking, her mouth was still slightly ajar. She looked up at Si Zhengting, dumbfounded. He was leaning over suspiciously, trying to peer over at what Zhuang Nainai was talking about.
Zhuang Nainai was stunned. She wished that she could hide the laptop that was currently in her hands!
However!
How could her reaction time be faster than Si Zhengting’s?
Si Zhengting reached out and snatched the laptop over.
He read through the contents of the messages and noticed that there was a rather long duration between the messages sent by Ji Chen. Putting everything together with Zhuang Nainai’s reactions to his words, his expression darkened. He lifted his head. “What are you trying to say?”
Zhuang Nainai took a step backward guiltily, waving her hands as she stuttered, “I, that, no, I wanted to, ask you, the scheduled flight, no, that, if the child would be in danger, I, I…”
She couldn’t form a coherent sentence at all. However, Si Zhengting asked, “Nainai, don’t you trust me?”
Didn’t she trust him?
Zhuang Nainai was paralyzed with shock.
She thought back to how she had suspected that something fishy was happening with the sold-out flight tickets after speaking to Li Yufeng on the phone. She had begun to suspect Si Zhengting after looking through his messages with the family doctor and Ji Chen.
She lowered her head. She knew that she had been in the wrong, and she should say something to cajole him. However, she couldn’t bring herself to tell him any lies.
Her silence caused his expression to darken even further. Si Zhengting’s dark gaze was fixed on her. A person could drown in the dark vortex of his gaze.
Zhuang Nainai lifted her head and glanced at him. Although he remained expressionless, she somehow sensed that he was hurt after looking at him.
Had her actions hurt him deeply?
Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt really guilty. She lifted her head, wanting to explain something. Before she could do that, he picked up his coat, turned, and left!
Did he just leave again?!
Zhuang Nainai was in a daze. Then the door slammed shut, utterly stunning her.
She wanted to chase after him, but she didn’t know what she should do.
Furthermore… she had wanted to fly to America to look for her mother. But if she really went abroad, would it really be bad for her child?!
She swallowed and sat on the sofa for a while, staring at the coffee table. Then she suddenly stood up and dashed toward the door.
She was going to look for him and tell him that she was wrong.
She was going to tell him that she cared for their child, and she wasn’t willing to let the child come to harm either!
The rims of her eyes suddenly turned red. She felt as though all these unreasonable things that had happened in this short span of time had manifested to torment her. Why didn’t she have the strength that she had five years ago to face them?
She loved him.
He loved her too.
This was sufficient reason for them to be together!
Even though there were misunderstandings and unresolved problems they had yet to talk through together, as long as they still loved each other, that was enough!
Zhuang Nainai hurriedly changed out of her slippers and flung the door open. She rushed out with her head hung low, but her head collided with a familiar chest!
