Chapter 825: How Are the Children? (5)
The two of them stayed in the nursery without saying anything.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes were basically glued on the children. She clearly wanted to approach them, but she was afraid because they were so small and fragile.
However, the time to leave had come.
The disinfection was effective for only a limited time period. After two hours, both children were not awake, but Zhuang Nainai had to leave. Displeased, she pursed her lips. “I read a book that said that a one-month-old baby needs only 18 hours of sleep each day. Why aren’t they awake yet?”
Si Zhengting said nonchalantly, “Their body clocks are rather messed up. The amount of time they are awake is longer at night.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded and got up. She followed Si Zhengting out. Coincidentally, she noticed his dark eye circles and could not help but think about how tired he must be to have to take care of the children every night.
Then, he probably didn’t visit her for the past month because of the children, right?
However, even so, she still felt uncomfortable. He should be able to make some time to visit her, shouldn’t he?
They left the nursery and went to the living room downstairs.
The medical staff had gone upstairs while the rest of the bodyguards were stationed outside. In those moments, only the two of them were left in the living room.
Si Zhengting looked at her. A long time passed, but Zhuang Nainai did not say anything. Hence, he could not help but say, “I will ask someone to send you home.”
She still had to leave!
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists and said suddenly, “Si Zhengting, I know why you are doing this to me.”
Si Zhengting was stunned.
Staring at the floor, she spoke with an inexplicable sadness, “People always say that a married couple should face every difficulty that comes their way together. But this saying doesn’t suit us.
“I’m too stupid and weak. Can’t you tell me what you are hiding from me? You are scared that I might ruin your plans. Actually, after seeing you and Xiao Caibai today, I suddenly realized a problem. If I were someone capable like Xiao Caibai or Sister Jingyu, would you have… wanted us to overcome the difficulty together?”
Seeing her so blunt, Si Zhengting was slightly taken aback.
What Zhuang Nainai said was not wrong. When Si Zhengting saw Mother Zhuang overseas and understood what was going on, his first thought was to face it with Zhuang Nainai.
They were a married couple, and they got together after so much trouble, so how could they separate again?
But could he really tell her?
No.
He couldn’t say it.
Zhuang Nainai was different from them. She grew up in an ordinary family. Even though she did have to endure hardships, they were just hardships. She had not experienced the kind of conflict that happens among wealthy families and businesses. If a person like her lived a life like that, she might just lose her life accidentally.
If there were only the two of them, he wouldn’t have made the decision he had made.
He would have faced all adversities with her. If they really lost the battle, the worst that could happen was that they would die!
However, he couldn’t let that happen.
They had children now. They must stay alive. He had no choice.
At the thought of these things, Si Zhengting pressed his lips together more tightly. Clenching his jaws, he remained silent.
After Zhuang Nainai finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and looked at him sarcastically. “Look, if I were even slightly more capable or wealthy, the children would have been under my care. But now, I’m afraid I can’t even fork out one day’s worth of expenses for the children. Si Zhengting, this is how useless I am!”
Her tone became more sarcastic. “How can a useless person like me be with you? They say two people are a great match only if they come from similar backgrounds. I didn’t believe it last time, but now, I believe it. So, Si Zhengting, let’s break up. I am seriously asking for a breakup.”
