It seemed as if Si Jingyu wanted to avoid Shi Jinyanâs gaze. She didnât look at him at all. Instead, she looked towards Si Zhengting and smiled. âOur house was flooded with water. Itâs been so long, yet the repair works are still incomplete. Iâd be staying here for a couple of days, donât think that Iâm annoying you!â
Si Zhengting knitted his brows. âAs for brother-in-law...â
âHeâll stay at the company.â Si Jingyu waved her hand. âHeâs so busy with work that he doesnât even come home. If he did, the repair works wouldnât still be unfinished even after half a year.â
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Jingyu looked towards Shi Jinyan. âAlright, itâs almost 9 pm. If you donât leave now, you wonât be able to leave today.â
Shi Jinyanâs eyes narrowed. âIf I canât leave, I can stay here as well.â
âDonât! When I married you, I was determined to be a good wife and a loving... wife. If you donât leave, your colleagues will blame it all on me tomorrow!â Si Jingyu said while smiling happily.
When he heard this, a smile formed on Shi Jinyanâs lips. âAlright. This time, stay in Beijing for a while longer. After Iâm done with my current work, Iâll bring you out next time.â
Just as Si Jingyu was about to say something, Shi Jinyan spoke again, âThe fashion design department of the Imperial Group canât do without you. Besides, the Imperial Groupâs 100th-year-anniversary celebration is happening soon. Can you bear to leave all these things to Zhengting? Donât forget, heâs just gotten married.â
Upon hearing this, Si Jingyu wrinkled her brows and stared at Shi Jinyan with her eyes opened widely.
Shi Jinyan looked at her proudly. His gaze was firm, as if he was saying, if you donât promise me, I wonât be leaving tonight.
Right now, Si Jingyu really didnât want to stay under the same roof as him. Moreover...
Si Jingyu glanced at Si Zhengting.
After not seeing him for a few months, she saw that his originally thin body had become even skinnier.
For the past half a year, she had been willfully indulging in her own life outside, letting her younger brother take charge of an exceptionally large corporation. However, come to think of it, Si Zhengting was merely 24 or 25 years old this year.
She was indeed too willful.
Si Jingyu silently nodded. âSure, Iâll cancel all my overseas plans and stay in Beijing for another month.â
Since both of them had given in, Shi Jinyan wouldnât push her to the extreme either. He then left obediently.
After he drove off from the villa, just as the three of them turned around and was about to return to their rooms, Si Zhengting glanced at Si Jingyu with a meaningful gaze. Shortly after, he said coldly, âSister, a person like Brother-in-law is hard to come by.â
Si Jingyu stopped in her tracks, then smiled while raising her head. âThatâs for sure, donât you know who chose him? But, Sister-in-law is not bad either!â
As soon as she finished speaking, she smiled towards Zhuang Nainai, then changed the topic. âIâm staying already. Do I go to work tomorrow?â
âUp to you.â
Si Jingyu grinned. âItâs all set then, Iâll be responsible for the designs of the apparels. As for other tasks, donât look for me, you know I hate dealing with problems the most.â
Si Zhengting nodded.
They went back to their own rooms.
Zhuang Nainai lay down in bed. While thinking about the crisis between Si Jingyu and Shi Jinyan, she sighed. Just what kind of a devilâs curse was the Si family under, causing the marriage of all three to be so unblissful?
No, she shouldnât say that.
Zhuang Nainai looked at the man who was lying next to her. Thinking about what had happened today, she couldnât help but probe, âSi Zhengting, why arenât you asking me... about what happened today?â
He obviously knew that she was lying. Yet, not only did he not ask her why she really cried, but he also took care of her very thoughtfully.
All of these seemed too unreal in Zhuang Nainaiâs eyes. Happiness was coming too fast, it made her slightly confused.
