Su Jinhui had no choice but to text Zhuang Nainai: “I have to work overtime at the last minute, hence we’ll have to cancel today’s dinner. I’ll treat Junior next time, alright?”

Upon seeing this message while he was upstairs, Si Zhengting smirked. Although he didn’t smile, anyone could tell that he was in a very good mood.

Afterward, he began to ponder about where he should bring her for dinner tonight.

In addition… it was about time he brought out the present that he had prepared earlier.

On the 18th floor…

The office areas of the fashion design department and the venue design department weren’t far from each other. Hence, their wailing sounds could be heard even in the office.

Upon seeing Su Jinhui’s text message, Zhuang Nainai couldn’t help but sigh. Why is it so difficult to have a meal?

All her other colleagues were elated. After receiving their salaries, each of them was discussing where to eat or shop tonight as they walked toward the exit. Only Zhuang Nainai was dejected and didn’t have anywhere to go.

At the thought of Gu Deshou, who was pressing her for the design drafts, Zhuang Nainai let out a sigh. I shall go home and work overtime then!

At this moment, she hastily took out her cell phone and texted Si Zhengting.

“Are you home already?”

Si Zhengting replied instantly using his typical arrogant tone: “No. What’s the matter?”

Zhuang Nainai drafted the message and replied quickly: “When are you leaving? Let’s go home together, then?”

Upon seeing this text message, the man on the top floor smirked.

The two of them met at the underground car park. While seated at the backseat, Zhuang Nainai occasionally turned her head and glanced at the man beside her.

He was holding a finance and economics magazine in his hands, reading it very seriously.

While thinking about how hard she worked, how she had to put up with Zhang Chaowen’s exploitation at work, how extremely bitter her days had been, Zhuang Nainai couldn’t tolerate it any longer and said, “Well…”

Si Zhengting raised his eyes indifferently. “Yes?”

Zhuang Nainai deliberated for a while and spoke slowly, “My salary…”

“What about it?” Si Zhengting raised his brows with a sharp gaze. His surrounding was exploding with grandeur. It was as if he was chairing a general shareholders’ meeting in the company – his aura made people fearful. Zhuang Nainai’s little heart was so frightened that it started beating wildly.

While trying to kiss up to him, she spoke hastily, “I meant to say that, I’m very relieved that my salary is in your card!”

“Yes.” Si Zhengting simply responded with a word. He then paused for a while before continuing suddenly, “Since Ji Chen doesn’t have your bank card information, he took the initiative to transfer it into my card. I initially wanted to transfer it to you, but since you’ve said so, we’ll just leave it on my side then.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Nainai almost bit off her tongue in one bite!

Why did she switch the direction of the conversation all of a sudden just now?

Zhuang Nainai was filled with regret and simply wanted to beat her chest and stamp her feet in sorrow. Could she take back her words just now?

After trying every possible way to phrase her words as nicely as possible, she finally mustered up the courage and was about to say, “Actually, I still prefer to manage my own finances myself.” However, at this very moment, Si Zhengting took out his cell phone and began calling Ji Chen to assign him official duties.

Throughout the whole journey, whenever Zhuang Nainai had mustered up the courage to speak, somehow, Si Zhengting would always be occupied with other things.

After several attempts, Zhuang Nainai had completely lost the courage to speak up and would rather shut her mouth. She completely didn’t notice the mischievous look that swept across the eyes of the man beside her.

When the car drove into the Si residence, it was 7 pm.

Just after the car had come to a stop, Zhuang Nainai jumped down from the car furiously. As her salary was confiscated, she pouted while fuming with anger and ran toward the living room without waiting for Si Zhengting to get off the car.

Upon opening the door, she noticed a woman sitting on the sofa in the living room.
