Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Si Zhengting massaged his temples after Zuo Yiyi left.

Ji Chen walked in with more documents. His brows wrinkled slightly when he saw the food in the dining area. Recalling Sir’s instructions to bar Madam entry today, he sighed. What went on between the couple again?

He approached Si Zhengting to deliver the documents, before retreating to the side with his head lowered.

The phone in his pocket vibrated, and Ji Chen walked to a corner to answer it. It was a helpless Mi Nuo on the line. “Executive assistant Ji, Ms. Zuo is being uncooperative again, can you help me out here? My employees are in a difficult spot.”

Ji Chen was surprised. “Uncooperative with what?”

Mi Nuo was even more surprised. “The 100th-year-anniversary celebration’s outfit, of course!”

100th-year-anniversary celebration?

Ji Chen realized what was going on and hurried to clarify, “You mean, as Sir’s partner?”

“Yes.”

Ji Chen slapped his forehead, feeling a headache coming. “Who told you Ms. Zuo is going to be Mr. Si’s partner?”

Mi Nuo was alarmed and suddenly felt fearful. She asked cautiously, “Is she not? But it had always been her! I-I…”

“No!” Ji Chen reprimanded, “You used to always check with me, why are you so careless this time around?”

Mi Nuo was on the verge of tears and she played her damsel-in-distress card. “Executive assistant Ji, what should I do now? Ms. Zuo is already here. You know Mr. Si best. If his partner is not Ms. Zuo, who is it?”

Her words highlighted Ji Chen’s importance and put him in a good mood, thereby making him more willing to offer advice now.

Ji Chen stole a glance at Si Zhengting and saw that his face was still stormy. He was initially certain that Si Zhengting would not have asked Zuo Yiyi this time around, but he began to doubt himself.

Ji Chen paused. “Hold on.”

Ji Chen walked up to Si Zhengting and cleared his throat before asking cautiously, “Sir, your partner for the anniversary celebration…”

Si Zhengting’s brows were tightly knitted.

This was his reaction to the mention of Madam; therefore, was his partner still his wife?

Ji Chen immediately continued, “Madam had not been styled by us before, should the fashion design team approach Madam directly for measurements?”

Approach Zhuang Nainai directly for measurements?

Si Zhengting’s hands paused, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his cool eyes.

Exasperation welled up within him again. He grabbed his pack of cigarettes only to find it empty.

Si Zhengting threw the empty box into the bin with annoyance and looked up. “No need.”

Ji Chen was stunned. “So do you want Ms. Zuo as your partner?”

Si Zhengting looked up at Ji Chen. Ji Chen felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had been transported to the middle of winter.

Si Zhengting asked lightly, “What does she have to do with me?”

He still got it wrong…

Ji Chen looked down immediately and crossed his palms over his stomach. “Sir, please forgive me.”

Si Zhengting watched him for a while. He then took out a memo note on which he scribbled something before handing it to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen received it with confusion. Someone’s height and body measurements were written on it.

Ji Chen smirked.

Mi Nuo was in deep trouble this time.

Ji Chen delivered the news to her with empathy.
