There was of course a text from Su Jinhui. “Don’t mention it, we should help each other out.”

Zhuang Nainai breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally dodged the lunch treat request.

However, there was another text apart from Su Jinhui’s. It was from Si Zhengting.

Zhuang Nainai rubbed her eyes, thinking that she must have seen wrongly.

She looked again. It still displayed Si Zhengting’s number. She opened the text anxiously to see, “Dinner at my mother’s tonight.”

The text was short and to the point, it did sound like him.

Zhuang Nainai grew flustered after reading the text.

In the top floor office.

Si Zhengting returned at 2:30 pm but could not sit still in the office.

Something was missing.

A girl’s smile flashed across his eyes.

Si Zhengting massaged his temples.

He had gotten used to living without her over the past five years. She had only been back for a few days, and he could no longer sit still and go on with his old ways.

What was she doing now?

Si Zhengting played with his pen and could not read a single word in the documents. He picked up his phone and hesitated for a minute before sending Zhuang Nainai a text.

The peaceful, calm rhythm of his heart for the past five years had been disrupted.

Ji Chen, who was waiting at his side, saw that something was amiss. Mr. Si looked the same as every other day, reviewing documents solemnly, but… his eyes, why were they always shifting to his phone?

And it had been half an hour, why was he still not done with that document in hand?

Was there something wrong with that document?

Ji Chen knew better than to ask.

At slightly past 3 pm, Si Zhengting’s phone buzzed. Ji Chen looked up abruptly, seeming to be even more excited than Si Zhengting.

However, he saw Mr. Si quickly glance at the phone, return to reviewing the document, and sign his name, all before slowly reaching for his phone.

Ji Chen smirked.

He knew his boss well enough to see that he had been waiting for the text message for half an hour.

Also, he had approved that last document so quickly, did he review it properly?

There was an upwards tug on Si Zhengting’s lips. He then picked up his phone and opened the message. “But I have to work tonight, I don’t know what time I can leave. You go ahead first, I will go find you after I’m done.”

Si Zhengting’s eyes darkened after reading the text.

He stared at his phone for a while. It seemed as if Zhuang Nainai did not want to meet his mother.

He lowered his eyes and sent a one-word reply. “Ok.”

He then called Mrs. Ding. “We’re working late, we won’t be going over tonight.”

——

Zhuang Nainai was not lying. The entire venue design team had to work overtime that night until 10, when the last train was in operation.

Everyone filed out of the office massaging their stiff necks. Zhuang Nainai was about to follow the group to catch the bus when she suddenly remembered something. She looked up to see the lights on the top floor office still on.

He had not left yet.

Zhuang Nainai immediately took out her phone and sent him a text. “I’m leaving now, are you coming home?”

He replied quickly. “See you in the carpark.”

Zhuang Nainai bid her colleagues goodbye and proceeded to the carpark, where she saw Si Zhengting marching over with a few people after five minutes.

Zhuang Nainai was very tired, and Si Zhengting was quiet. Nobody talked on the way home.

The car entered the residence, and Zhuang Nainai hopped off to see that a shiny red Lamborghini was parked in the garage today.

Were they expecting a guest today?

She then saw the butler welcoming them home and announcing respectfully, “Sir, Madam, Ma’am is here.”

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened as she turned abruptly to find a lady standing at the door.
