Si Zhengting is a workaholic??
Zhuang Nainai blinked. If she hadnât been by his side from morning to night during this period, she wouldâve probably believed what they said.
However... he almost never came to work last week. The week before last, he didnât seem to be very busy either?
During the weekend, he was simply reading a magazine and doing his own things.
The Imperial Group is a big corporation, but!
The Imperial Group has so many employees, Si Zhengting shouldnât be in charge of too many things, right?
Even so, Zhuang Nainai didnât want to correct their mistake.
After she regained her senses, she looked at Su Mei, who was waiting for her reply. She then shook her head. âIâm not going.â
Su Mei knitted her brows and pushed Zhuang Nainai. âZhuang Nainai, youâve been working here for so long, but youâre so boring, going home straight after work. Are you going on a date with a handsome man?â
A date?
Was a date with her husband at home counted?
Zhuang Nainai grinned from ear to ear and didnât answer.
Su Mei immediately understood what was going on, packed her things, and left.
Zhuang Nainai picked up her cell phone and sent Si Zhengting a text message, asking him if he had clocked out. After receiving a positive reply, she eagerly ran towards the underground car park.
Upon reaching downstairs, she saw the headlights of a car light up. Si Jingyu waved at her from inside. âGet on the car, Iâll bring you home!â
Zhuang Nainaiâs eyes brightened up as she ran over.
â
Si Zhengting was in a bad mood the whole day.
During noon, his lunchbox arrived and he waited for Zhuang Nainai on the top floor to have lunch with her. After ten minutes, just as he was about to give Zhuang Nainai a call, he received a text message from Si Jingyu.
âIâll borrow Nainai for a while, weâll be having Sichuan cuisine.â
Upon seeing those words, Si Zhengting raised his brows and immediately replied, âWhere?â
Just as he stood up, took his jacket, and was about to leave, he received a text message from Si Jingyu again.
âYouâre late, weâre already at the restaurant.â
Si Zhengting was speechless.
Did Si Jingyu just take the initiative to bring Zhuang Nainai out without informing him first?
The problem was, Zhuang Nainai actually abandoned him?
At that moment, Si Zhengtingâs expression remained the same. However, for the whole afternoon, executive assistant Ji Chen could feel tension in the room.
It wasnât easy for him to pull through âtil the end of work, when he received Zhuang Nainaiâs text message.
âItâs time to go home, are you leaving?â
Si Zhengting smoothened out his eyes and brows. He picked up his cell phone and replied, âIâm leaving.â
To prevent Zhuang Nainai from waiting too long at the basement, he didnât even bother to pack his briefcase. He picked up his jacket and took the private lift for the President. However...
Ji Chen looked at his Sirâs gloomy and dark face. He couldnât help but check his surroundings. Madam, where are you?!
Just as he was about to give Zhuang Nainai a call, Si Zhengtingâs cell phone rang. Zhuang Nainai said excitedly, âSi Zhengting, Sister and I will head home first. Come back early, weâll wait for you to have dinner together.â
Si Zhengting was shocked and speechless.
He returned home unhappily, driving the Maybach at breakneck speed. Although he left a few minutes later than Zhuang Nainai and Si Jingyu, he managed to arrive home before them.
Yet, just as he sat down on the sofa, his cell phone rang for a couple of times. He picked it up and saw Si Jingyuâs text message.
âlâll bring Nainai out for dinner.â
Si Zhengting was shocked and speechless.
When Zhuang Nainai and Si Jingyu entered the living room, Si Zhengtingâs expression didnât look good at all.
They greeted him and sneakily headed upstairs.
Si Zhengting knitted his brows repeatedly. Just as he was about to stand up and follow them upstairs, he heard the ringing of a cell phone.
It turned out that while Zhuang Nainai was changing her shoes, she had conveniently placed her cell phone on the shoe rack.
He walked over and picked it up. Gu Deshouâs voice came through from the other side. âQingyan, have you gotten the design drafts? Autumn and winter are coming soon, weâve to manufacture the goods and replenish the stocks soon...â
Design drawings?
Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes.

Chapter 211: What Design Drawings?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Design drawings?
Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep, clear voice, âWhat design drafts?â
Ever since she had returned from the Guâs, Zhuang Nainai began acting strangely. Could Gu Deshou have given her a mission?
Upon hearing a manâs voice all of a sudden, Gu Deshou was startled and he panicked. âMr... Mr. Si?â
Si Zhengting coldly acknowledged it, narrowed his eyes, and probed again, âWhat design drafts?â
Gu Deshou swallowed his saliva, extremely nervous. âNo-nothing.â
He said it was nothing, but his voice revealed his guilty conscience.
Si Zhengtingâs gaze dimmed again.
Even through the phone, Gu Deshou could feel a flood of cold air. He tried very hard to change the topic. âMr. Si, are you and Qingyan doing fine?â
Si Zhengting replied in passing, âYes.â
Gu Deshou asked again, âWould you like to come over for a meal this weekend?â
Si Zhengting said in a perfunctory manner, âWeâll see first.â
âSure, sure. Mr. Si, please carry on with your work, Iâll hang up first.â
After the call ended, Si Zhengting held onto Zhuang Nainaiâs cell phone and was deep in thought.
He headed upstairs while holding the cell phone.
The villa was like a castle; there were so many rooms even on the second floor. Si Zhengting walked faster and caught up with Zhuang Nainai and Si Jingyu.
Si Jingyu was walking in front while Zhuang Nainai curiously followed her from behind. Both of them were looking at each other while smiling and talking.
Zhuang Nainaiâs eyes were shining. âSo those are small diamonds! No wonder theyâre so sparkly and shiny! If it is so, how much is this wedding gown worth?!â
Si Jingyu conveniently waved her hands. âA wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, one should spend on it no matter how much it costs. Besides, the Si family isnât short of that small sum of money,â she said while giving off a nouveau-riche vibe that didnât cause people to feel disgusted.
Both of them walked upstairs, across the master bedroom and across Si Jingyuâs bedroom, and then continued walking inside.
Upon hearing familiar footsteps behind them all of a sudden, Zhuang Nainai stopped in her tracks, turned around, and saw Si Zhengting following them.
Si Zhengting wore a sulky expression. âWhere are both of you going?â
After being out for the whole day, they still arenât returning to their rooms?
Unfortunately, Zhuang Nainai couldnât read what was on his mind. Instead, her eyes brightened up.
Upon hearing this, Si Jingyu glanced at Si Zhengting in passing and said with a grin, âWeâre going to see the wedding gown. You know of it too â the wedding gown designed by TZ! Itâs causing a sensation in the industry! Whatâs the matter, do you want to follow us and take a look at it?â
As soon as she finished speaking, an awkward and slightly embarrassed look swept across Si Zhengtingâs face. Unfortunately, it all happened in a flash. Zhuang Nainai didnât react at all.
Si Jingyu looked at Si Zhengting. She proudly raised her brows at him, pulled Zhuang Nainai along, and continued walking.
Si Zhengting took a step forward and wanted to follow them, but he deliberated on the spot for a while, then headed towards the bedroom with Zhuang Nainaiâs cell phone in his hand.
â
Zhuang Nainai never knew that the Si familyâs villa was so huge!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She thought that the back corridor merely led to several bedrooms. Unexpectedly, as she walked across it, she realized that the back corridor was further divided into a few more corridors that extended toward the two sides.
Counting all of these rooms made the villa feel like a big hotel.
Moreover!
This villa had three floors!
In other words, the third floor had so many rooms as well?
Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath. She was then pulled along by Si Jingyu and continued walking toward the front.
