Chapter 82: Dinner!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhuang Nainai hung her head in disappointment.
He had to force himself to use couple phones with her and wanted it changed immediately. What about… their marriage?
Was the marriage also a forced arrangement in his mind too? Would he kick her away the moment he found his true match?
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists tightly at these thoughts.
She looked up at Si Zhengting and felt ridiculous for the idea she had earlier in the day.
She actually thought Si Zhengting might have liked her.
But if he did not, how does one explain the European-style princess bed?
Zhuang Nainai was conflicted. She lowered her head and followed Si Zhengting to the dining table.
The dining room in the Si residence was enormous and serene.
There were only a dining table and two chairs. The setup was simple but extravagant when you look at their details.
The servants were dressed in uniforms and stood respectfully at the sides with their hands on their chests. One of them saw the couple approach and moved to draw the chair for them.
Si Zhengting lifted his hands slightly. She halted and remained in her spot with her head down.
Si Zhengting then walked to one side of the table and pulled the chair aside for Zhuang Nainai.
His action left the butler flabbergasted.
Sir. Had. Pulled. The. Chair. Aside. For. Madam!
When did he become such a gentleman?
The butler was about to tear up. Mr. Si had become more of a human after he married. He was finally becoming less cold and distant!
The butler looked towards Zhuang Nainai. She was the first person to receive that special treatment from Mr. Si!
Just as he was expecting Zhuang Nainai to feel flattered and grateful, he saw her walk with her head lowered around the table to the other side and sit down in the other chair, completely oblivious to Si Zhengting’s chivalrous deed.
The butler was dumbfounded.
All the servants in the room held their breath and braced the impending storm that they thought died down a while earlier. Madam is in big trouble!
The affluent families took dining etiquette seriously. As the man of the house, Si Zhengting should sit in the main seat. Nobody had ever competed for that seat with him. Even Ma’am or Ms. Si would not when they came to visit.
Yet now… Madam had unknowingly sat right there!
The air in the dining room was frozen, nobody dared to breathe loudly.
Zhuang Nainai did not know what was wrong. She gave Si Zhengting a puzzled look, as if to ask why he wasn’t sitting down.
The butler was speechless. He regretted not taking some time to explain the household rules to Madam yesterday.
The butler gave a soft cough and decided to take this blame to keep the harmony between the couple. He stepped forward with a downcast face and explained, “Sir, regarding this…”
He did not finish his sentence as he was shocked by what happened next.
Mr. Si only raised his brow and then sat down expressionlessly on the seat.
The butler’s eyes popped. Mr. Si sat down? He actually sat down?
Holy!
What is happening to this world!
Or… was Sir possessed?
He then saw Zhuang Nainai helping herself to the food, digging in unceremoniously the moment Si Zhengting sat down.

Madam had started eating before the man of the house said anything!
The butler swallowed hard and looked at Si Zhengting, but he only wrinkled his brows and then slowly picked up his chopsticks.
The old butler instantly understood. Madam was certainly special to Sir.
He then kept still and observed quietly.
Zhuang Nainai ate her meal with a heavy heart and therefore failed to notice that all the dishes on the table were her favorites.
After having some food in her stomach, her cold heart was warmed a little and her misery was halved.
In any case, she was lucky.
Lucky to be able to marry the only man she truly loved in this life. Even though he did not like her, he did not love another.
They had already tied the knot and consummated their marriage, what was the point in fussing over whether or not he liked her?
Zhuang Nainai put down her chopsticks at this thought and wanted to leave the table to go wash up upstairs. But she saw Si Zhengting was still eating and could not bring herself to say it.
She observed him stealthily with her peripheral vision.
He looked very graceful when he ate. His movements were elegant and unrushed.
The white shirt he was wearing reminded Zhuang Nainai of the young boy from years ago.
They all ate lunch at school during high school.
The bunch of conglomerate heirs did not ask for any special treatment and ate the same thing as everyone else.
The more affluent they were, the more they took note of their upbringing.
To win Si Zhengting’s heart back then, Zhuang Nainai tried to find out his tastes and preferences. She noticed that he ate more mushrooms and hence brewed some mushroom soup for him.
The actions of youth are always so innocent and straightforward. She spared no costs to do things for the person she liked.
The mushroom in the thermal bottle was still warm by lunchtime. Zhuang Nainai’s eyes smiled when she spotted Si Zhengting in the cafeteria. She ran to him carrying her soup. “Si Zhengting, Si Zhengting, look at the mushroom soup I made for you, it’s really good! Try some!”
She ran too hurriedly and tripped on Zuo Yiyi’s foot. The soup flew out of her hands.
Si Zhengting dodged in time but some soup splattered onto his shirt.
Zhuang Nainai was not so lucky. She fell onto the floor and was sprawled on top of the spilled soup.
Her hands landed in the liquid and she closed her eyes tightly when it created a big splash over the soup.
She came back to her senses after a while and turned first to give Zuo Yiyi a death stare. She then looked anxiously at Si Zhengting, eager to offer some explanation. But when she saw him, she suddenly laughed and laughed, “Si Zhengting, look what a good match we make now, you are covered in mushrooms, and so am I. Hahaha!”
A dark gloom came over Si Zhengting’s face and he gave her a cold stare. He turned and left in a huff, leaving his lunch untouched.
He was so good back then!
The worst he would do when he was angry was to ignore her. He would not go around smashing handphones as he would now.
What an overbearing tyrant!
She looked around the room. No one dared to utter a word. Zhuang Nainai pouted and lowered her head. She was scared too.
She did not notice the reddening ears of the man at the table.
