Chapter 188 - Darling~ I’m Back!
Just when he entered the living room, he saw Zhuang Nainai run out of the kitchen and flash him a pleasing smile moments later. Though Si Zhengting remained expressionless, the hostility he was giving off slowly wore off.
The butler, who had walked out after hearing some noises, immediately broke into a contented grin upon seeing both of their interactions.
Sir had not returned home for a week and Madam had been extremely worried!
He had returned home yesterday but went out again today. The butler was worried that they would be in a fight again.
Despite the fact that Sir looked disheveled and was still pulling a long face and not uttering anything at the moment, Madam’s behavior had indicated that they have patched things up.
The butler heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he picked up the phone and called Ding Mengya after seeing that they had gone upstairs.
The phone call went through very quickly. On the other end, Ding Mengya’s voice was languid as she seemed to have just woken up. “Old Lee~, how is it? Has your Sir’s arrogant syndrome been cured?”
Butler: …
“Madam, Sir and Young Madam seemed to have reconciled.”
“That’s great. Sigh, don’t you think raising a child takes so much work? They are already in their 20s, yet I am still so worried about them that I can’t fall asleep at night.” As Ding Mengya was lamenting, she yawned.
Butler: …
So, didn’t you just wake up from your sleep?
The butler cleared his throat. “Madam, do you think Young Madam has told Sir about the incident in the past?”
Ding Mengya finally turned more serious on the other end and answered shortly after, “I doubt it.”
The butler continued to ask, “But, if she had not told him, how did they reconcile?”
Ding Mengya paused. “No idea. However, if Zhengting knew about the incident in the past, do you think they would still be able to reconcile?”
Caught off guard, the butler sighed moments later. “Right. Sir is extremely fastidious. If he knew that Young Madam had abandoned him for your money, he would surely suffer from a trauma.”
Upon saying this, the butler sighed again. “Madam, I think that this matter will remain a sore point between them. Sir is very sharp, so he would find out sooner or later. Do you think I should do something?”
Ding Mengya remained silent for a while and then said, “No need. As I have said, they are grown-ups now. Their immature tendencies are things of the past now. If they still cannot handle past problems adequately, they wouldn’t be happy together.”
Old Lee nodded.
Shortly after, Ding Mengya continued in a faint voice before pausing and sighing, voice full of regrets. “Old Lee, she had clearly passed my test back then, but why is it that when I offered her money for the second time, she just accepted it? If she had not accepted the money and left Zhengting, I would have a grandchild by now, wouldn’t I?”
Upon hearing this, the butler was also rendered silent.
——
Upstairs, Si Zhengting tossed his clothes into the trash can right after he removed them. Then, he proceeded into the bathroom to wash himself.
Standing by the door, Zhuang Nainai felt especially anxious.
She had rejected Si Zhengting’s “invitation” today, and he was clearly angry about it. What was she going to do?
While she was deep in thoughts, Si Zhengting’s cell phone suddenly rang.
When she walked over to pick it up, she realized the name “Jingyu” was flashing on the screen.
This was obviously a woman’s name. However, just who was this person who was so close to Si Zhengting that he did not even save her last name?
As she held the phone, she suddenly froze.
Logically speaking, if a woman was calling her husband, there would be nothing wrong with her answering the call. But unfortunately, her relationship with Si Zhengting was not like that of a normal wedded couple.
Moreover…
Zhuang Nainai looked down. Even if Si Zhengting had a mistress, did she… have the right to care?
While she was staring at the phone blankly, the bathroom door opened.
Wearing a sleeping robe, Si Zhengting dried his hair with a towel in his hand. Upon hearing the phone ringing, he looked over nonchalantly.
Zhuang Nainai passed the phone to him hurriedly. Then, she observed his reaction seriously.
When Si Zhengting saw the name displayed on the phone screen, his eyes lit up for a moment. He answered the call and walked towards the balcony. Through the speakers of his cell phone, Zhuang Nainai could hear a woman’s voice on the other end. “Darling~ I’m back!”
Back?
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed. Who was back?
