Hello, Heir

Her words plunged like a sharp knife into Si Zhengting’s heart.

His gaze dimmed. The beast within him struggled to break loose.

So, their breakup five years ago was really due to Zhuang Nainai’s lack of affection for him?

She had pursued him for three whole years, but when he finally let her into his heart, she had cruelly told him that she did not love him anymore.

Si Zhengting’s hands balled into tight fists. He was on the verge of exploding in rage when a pair of gentle, warm hands cupped his clenched fists.

Si Zhengting turned to see Zhuang Nainai inching towards him.

Her gaze was still directed outside of the window and she did not notice the change in his mood. “Si Zhengting, we were both young and wild five years ago, it doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong anymore, does it? I will be a good wife from now on.”

Si Zhengting tensed as her gentle words caressed his heart like a light feather.

These words were very different from the sweet nothings she used to say to him five years ago. They conveyed no feeling at all.

However, they triggered something in his heart.

He had said it first, to start afresh with her.

For her to say that, it proved that she was less fearful of him now.

However, that feeling was fleeting, and he quickly grew bitter again.

He had been in turmoil these five years. Had their relationship meant nothing to Zhuang Nainai? Did she have no explanation for the breakup?

Si Zhengting was still deep in thought when the petite figure in front of him stood up and looked at him with sparkling eyes. “Si Zhengting, let’s make this work together.”

Her encouraging and optimistic tone made it seem like it was a sin to reject her.

Si Zhengting instantly felt more annoyed.

This woman!

How could she be so heartless?!

The veins on his temples jumped as he frowned. His lips moved to say something.

Zhuang Nainai read his expression as a sign that he was still angry. Blinking her doe eyes, she explained, “Regarding that bangle, I only threw it into the dustbin because of what happened in the past. But I know that the lining was already changed in the morning and you won’t clear it again. I couldn’t find it when I came back for it at night.”

Si Zhengting was exasperated. That was not what’s bothering him!

But he could not stay angry looking at her beseeching face.

Si Zhengting kept a blank face. Zhuang Nainai was intimidated by his icy-cold look.

Zhuang Nainai was trying hard to come up with a better explanation when he suddenly turned. Her hands were now in his grip and he dragged her towards the bedroom.

Zhuang Nainai was in shock. “Si Zhengting, a gentleman doesn’t resort to violence, y-you…”

She had not finished her sentence when she was thrown down onto the bed by Si Zhengting, who was on top of her in a second.

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened as her protests were blocked by his mouth.

His movements were rough. After kissing her, he deftly removed her clothes and took her.

Right then, Zhuang Nainai’s phone on the bedside table lit up.

It was a message from Gu Deshou. “Qingyan, what caused Mother Zhuang’s mental illness?”
