Good temper?

She lowered her eyes, a half-smile forming on her lips.

He had said very little about his mother these last two days, but Zhuang Nainai could tell, they were on very good terms.

Therefore... about what happened five years ago, he would not believe her even if she told him.

Zhuang Nainai felt like her mind was in a big jumble of mess.

She never thought that they would really end up together, but the recent events all happened so suddenly, and she was pushed along by an invisible force and married him.

But now, the biggest problem for this marriage surfaced.

She could never be in a peaceful relationship with his mother.

Certain things in life could be laid to rest and forgotten, but there are also some... which could never be.

Zhuang Nainai drooped her head to hide the ridicule and sadness in her eyes. “That’s good.”

Si Zhengting turned to leave.

Zhuang Nainai listened intently for the roar of the car engine from downstairs after he left the bedroom and felt immensely relieved. The heaviness in her heart was forced to one side, and she got up and headed down for breakfast.

The butler had a strange expression when he saw her, but he only shook his head and sighed, saying nothing.

Zhuang Nainai walked to the dining table where the maids served her breakfast.

After the meal, she decided to take a walk in the mansion’s garden out of boredom.

The garden was massive, and boasted great views. There were not many varieties of flowers, but they were all beautiful and rare. Zhuang Nainai was mesmerized and had forgotten all her unhappiness in that moment.

Si Zhengting drove out of the mansion and gave Mrs. Ding a call along the way.

“My son, the cake is ready, how much longer do you need to get here?” The voice on the line sounded very happy.

Si Zhengting’s eyes dimmed, and he replied apologetically, “Mom...”

“Stop! Something tends to be wrong whenever you call me ‘Mom’.”

Si Zhengting was lost for words for a while and continued helplessly, “Mom.”

“Alright, out with it, what have you done again?” Mrs. Ding sounded even more helpless than Si Zhengting.

“She’s not feeling well, we won’t be going over today.”

Mrs. Ding was in a sudden state of excitement. “Is she pregnant? Er... it can’t be, you’ve only just gotten married. Why will she suddenly be unwell? Could it be...”

Mrs. Ding pondered over it for a minute and reprimanded, “Son, I don’t mean to be naggy, but you have to hold yourself back a little! Did you hurt her? Why can’t you guys be more gentle? It’s a good thing that I just talked to Lee yesterday, I was worried that you might be impotent! Now I need to tell you, how could you...”

Si Zhengting was speechless. “MOM!”

Mrs. Ding continued, “Don’t call me mom, I’m not done yet. Girls are delicate, you have to be gentle, you...”

Si Zhengting could take it no more. “She’s down with the flu.”

“The flu? Like I said, I know you men are all strong and hot-blooded, but you have to think of her! Why can’t you do it under the blankets?”

Si Zhengting was lost for words. “I’m hanging up.”

Si Zhengting drove to the nearest pharmacy and instructed, “Give me one of each kind of flu medication you have.”

Zhuang Nainai sat on a swing in the garden, immensely enjoying herself while basking under the sun. She did not even hear the sound of the car entering the driveway.

Footsteps sounded from behind her and she ignored them, thinking it was just the maid with fruits, but she instead heard Si Zhengting’s low voice, “What are you doing here?”
