Hello, Heir

This matter had ruined everyone’s desire to continue watching the television. It was already past 9 pm, so everyone returned to their respective rooms and prepared to go to sleep.

 Zhuang Nainai lay on the bed, but she kept tossing and turning as she could not fall asleep.

 She suddenly felt that although the Internet could bring about convenience to people’s lives, honestly speaking, couldn’t it also bring about deadly attacks to some people?

 As she thought of this, she let out a deep sigh, lamenting over how complicated this world was.

 Just as she let out this breath, a clear voice resounded behind her. “You can’t sleep?”

 Zhuang Nainai acknowledged him before turning around painstakingly to face Si Zhengting. She frowned. “Why do you think the world is so sinister?”

 Sinister?

 Si Zhengting could not help but laugh. Had she even been through much to be calling the world sinister?

 He shook his head and stretched his hand out to wrap his arms around hers before saying slowly, “Nainai, don’t be scared.”

 After hearing this, Zhuang Nainai finally realized that the reason she could not fall asleep was indeed because… she was scared.

 She wasn’t even this scared when she was wrongly accused of stealing Si Jingyu’s design drafts in the Imperial Group last time. It was because that matter only involved her alone at that time, but she was afraid that she would implicate Si Zhengting this time.

As Zhuang Nainai thought of this, she let out another deep sigh. Unknowingly, several emotions hit her. She especially remembered something Zuo Yiyi frequently said. “Two people are a great match only if they come from similar backgrounds. This is a marriage rule that we, Chinese, have followed since ancient times. Zhuang Nainai, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to become one of us!”

 Two people are a great match only if they come from similar backgrounds…

 If he and she were a great match due to their similar backgrounds, the situation today wouldn’t have occurred, would it?

 The pregnancy might have been messing with her mind. In that moment, Zhuang Nainai felt like she was over-emotional. She tried to shake her head to disperse all these thoughts in her mind.

However, she still could not have peace of mind. Hence, she looked at Si Zhengting secretly and asked, “Si Zhengting, what if I can’t stay calm and end up losing during the press conference on the seventh?”

 After hearing this, Si Zhengting burst into laughter as he hugged her again. “Nainai, why would you lose?”

 “I’m saying if.”

 “There is no ‘if,’” Si Zhengting said slowly. “The world is fair. Black is black and white is white. Furthermore, creative work and design all contain their souls. I believe in you.”

 The last four words that he had said calmed Zhuang Nainai down instantly.

 Yeah, why was she panicking?

 “Nainai, don’t put so much pressure on yourself. Even if you lose, nothing much will happen to the Imperial Group over this small deal.”

 To Mi Nuo and Zhuang Nainai, this might be something extremely significant. However, to the Imperial Group and Si Zhengting, who were used to such intense turbulences, Mi Nuo’s move created a ripple, just like when a stone was thrown toward a peaceful lake.

 Yet, it was merely a ripple.

 ―

 The seventh day of the Chinese New Year arrived as planned.

 That day was a sunny day.

 Wearing a white and loose down coat, Zhuang Nainai tied her hair up. After she finished packing, she followed Si Zhengting downstairs.

 Ding Mengya and Butler Li were already waiting for them in the living room. Upon seeing Zhuang Nainai, Ding Mengya said, “I called the family doctor and asked him to follow you there in case anything happens.”

Zhuang Nainai glanced at Si Zhengting after hearing this. Surprisingly, Ding Mengya and Si Zhengting had thought of the same thing.
