Hello, Heir

Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath and gazed intently at Si Zhengting.

After about five seconds, she stretched out her hand. Si Zhengting put the ring on her.

With the ring slotted into her clean and fair finger, Si Zhengting felt that it looked so good that it was dazzling.

His lips curled up, and a smile spread across his face uncontrollably.

While looking at the ring, Zhuang Nainai fidgeted with it. “It’s slightly small.”

Si Zhengting said, “After you give birth, you will lose weight.”

Zhuang Nainai: “…!!”

So, he customized the ring according to her previous finger size?

Did that mean… he bought the ring some time ago, without telling her?

As she thought of this, Zhuang Nainai felt very blissful. She lifted the ring and looked at it under the moonlight. She looked like she loved it so much that she could not do without it. Then, she suddenly asked, “Where’s your ring?”

Si Zhengting had already stood up and was seated beside her again. Upon hearing her question, he answered nonchalantly, “Waiting for you to design it.”

Zhuang Nainai: “…”

Unknowingly, an intense thought popped up in Zhuang Nainai’s head suddenly. She looked at the ring on her finger in disbelief. “Did you actually… design this ring yourself?”

After hearing this, Si Zhengting turned to look at her without denying it. “Is there something wrong about that?”

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes suddenly widened. He really… designed it?

Zhuang Nainai stared at the ring immediately and fell in love with it even more.

The new year had arrived. It was a new beginning.

On the next day, it was already 9 am when Zhuang Nainai had woken up.

After Si Zhengting shook her awake, the two of them went downstairs. Ding Mengya and Butler Li were already up. A breakfast spread occupied the entire table.

While they were eating, Ding Mengya served Zhuang Nainai a few dumplings. “It’s a new year. Whoever eats the most for this meal will be the luckiest this year.”

Was there really such a saying?

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up. She ate three servings by herself, so naturally, she became the one who ate the most.

After they had finished eating breakfast, she looked up and saw Ding Mengya looking at her, as if she wanted to say something.

Zhuang Nainai blinked, not knowing what she wanted to say.

Then, she saw Ding Mengya take out a red packet from her pocket and hand it to Si Zhengting. “Here. It’s the same as last year’s. There is $10,000 inside.”

Upon saying this, Ding Mengya pursed her lips. “What exactly is Si Jingyu doing? She just flew overseas during the Chinese New Year and you allowed her to do so. Does the Shi family say anything about this?”

As Ding Mengya had been sick, Si Zhengting had been keeping her in the dark about how he saw Shi Jinyan’s child that day.

If he told her this, she might just hunt the Shi family down, judging from her personality.

After hearing this, Si Zhengting pursed his lips before extending his hand toward Ding Mengya. “Pass hers to me. I will give it to her once she comes back.”

After saying this, he added, “Don’t think that you can save a sum of money this year just because she isn’t here.”

As soon as he said this, Ding Mengya immediately grinned from ear to ear and passed the money to Si Zhengting.

As she watched them, Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened as she thought that this was rather unfathomable.

Her gaze was fixed on the red packet.

How many years had it been?

Since she’d received a red packet during the Chinese New Year?

She suddenly recalled that five years ago, before she attended high school, no matter how poor they were, her mother had always given her a red packet. Even though it might only contain $50 or $10, it was still her secret stash of money.
