Hello, Heir

But… so what if they were to dig out all of her secrets?

She would rather not know anything in exchange for the safe return of Mother Zhuang.

After hanging up on Ji Chen, Zhuang Nainai stayed submerged in the barrage of facts that had just been presented to her.

At the particular thought of the fact that Mother Zhuang was still out alone, her whole emotional state worsened.

She knew that she had to relax now that she was pregnant, so she had been trying her best to avoid thinking about unhappy things. But now, the spilling of Li Yufeng’s secrets somehow soured her mood.

Si Jingyu, sensing something amiss with Zhuang Nainai’s feelings, turned her head toward Si Zhengting. “Hey, Ji Chen reported all of this to you. Why did you call him up and make him repeat everything to us?”

Si Zhengting cast a cold glance at Si Jingyu, silent.

Si Jingyu pursed her lips. “Don’t tell me that you were annoyed at how much there was to say?”

Si Zhengting remained quiet, his silence betraying an admission of what she said.

Si Jingyu was speechless.

Si Jingyu didn’t know what to do with Si Zhengting anymore. “I say, Zhengting, you staying so quiet and sullen… you can’t placate your wife like this!”

Si Zhengting, looking at Zhuang Nainai, was still silent. After a while, he called the butler over. “Get Madam a personal bodyguard.”

Upon hearing this, the butler turned to Zhuang Nainai immediately. “Madam, do you have anyone you’re particularly familiar with, enough that you want him to be your personal bodyguard?”

Particularly familiar?

“Dazhuang?” The moment Zhuang Nainai said this, a certain burly, chunky man in the room began wishing he could shrink into the wall!

Dashan and Xiaoshan began giggling as they looked toward Dazhuang, a little too obviously full of glee at his misfortune!

With that, the butler turned to look at Dazhuang. Dazhuang waved his hands at him instantly in an attempt to refuse. He was now called Dazhuang, but a few days of being with Madam would surely cause his name to change to Daniu, Big Cow!

Dashan and Xiaoshan, still laughing, then suddenly heard Zhuang Nainai speak once more. “Dashan and Xiaoshan?”

The smiles on their faces froze immediately. Now they were the ones wishing that they could squirm into a hole and not be called by Madam!

Dazhuang, on the other hand, was now standing ram-rod straight. What goes around comes around, he thought, and it was his turn to laugh at them.

But he didn’t have time to laugh for long because Zhuang Nainai continued, “Let’s just stick with Dazhuang since he’s the fittest out of everyone here. With someone chunky like him by my side, I’ll be able to put my mind at ease!”

Dazhuang was speechless.

He nearly fell onto the floor head first! Madam, you’re going to be at ease, but I’m going to suffer! he thought.

Before the butler could say anything, Si Zhengting spoke first. “Huang Peidong.”

“Yes, Mr. Si.” With a face full of agony, Dazhuang stepped forward.

“I’ll leave Madam to you from now onwards. Her safety is now your responsibility.”

With a pained expression on his face, Dazhuang thought, Sir, can I refuse? Can I resign?

Zhuang Nainai stayed with Si Jingyu for a few days, and she soon began to grow bored.

In the blink of an eye, she was nearly five months pregnant.

There was still no news about Mother Zhuang even after such a long period of time. For Zhuang Nainai, no news meant good news.

From the panic and anxiety in the initial stages to the emotional adjustments later on… she was now just left with a sliver of hope in her heart.

In actual fact, however, she was getting more and more frustrated. In order for her to cease such emotions so as to not affect the mood of her child, Zhuang Nainai consistently planned a full schedule for herself every day.

Her pregnancy was getting more and more stable, and her physician had begun suggesting to her to exercise more.

But what could she do at home?
