Chapter 159: Nainai Is Drunk~

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhuang Nainai staggered a few steps while she was being dragged out. As she brisk-walked behind Si Zhengting, both of them went through the corridor and arrived outside.

Her alcohol tolerance was low; she was the type who would feel dizzy just from a few sips. Having been dragged out and exposed to the cold wind outside, she immediately felt a little light-headed and the view in front her became hazy.

Zhuang Nainai shook her head as she tried her best to calm herself down. All she could think of was that she had to explain everything clearly to Si Zhengting today.

Her lips parted, but no words would come out of her mouth. Thus, she just held Si Zhengting’s hand tightly.

Si Zhengting continued walking ahead and she followed behind him, just like a puppy wagging its tail.

The chauffeur had driven the car over.

Si Zhengting got into the car. He did not have to say anything and Zhuang Nainai just got into the car obediently.

As Zhuang Nainai’s eyelids were getting heavier, she started to doze off.

No, no!

Zhuang Nainai reached out her hands to slap herself on the cheeks before raising her head again to say something. However, upon seeing the nonchalant expression on Si Zhengting’s face, she did not dare to say anything anymore.

As a result, there was a strange silence inside the car and the chauffeur wished he could just evaporate into thin air.

Si Zhengting was gazing out of the window with a cold and expressionless look on his face.

His eyes, which resembled the midnight sky, showed a tinge of loneliness.

Honestly, there were many occasions this week when he wanted to call Madam Ding to ask about what had happened five years ago.

However, he still resisted in the end.

He had wanted to see exactly when Zhuang Nainai would approach him and give him a clear explanation.

They would need a clear picture of what had happened between them.

Moreover, he was still feeling indignant. He was scared that he would not be able to control his emotions and take it out on her again.

Consequently, the wait had lasted ’til tonight.

Si Zhengting took a deep breath.

One was his mother, whom he deeply respected. The other was his lover, whom he had loved for so many years.

He could not bring himself to think about the truth of what had happened.

To him, no matter who was at fault, he would not be able to face it.

He used the hand that was not injured to unbutton the first button of his shirt, as if doing so would help to ease his feeling of suffocation.

Then, he said softly, “Say what you want to say.”

However, contrary to what he had expected, he did not hear a reply for a long time after he had said those words.

Caught off guard, Si Zhengting turned his head to discover Zhuang Nainai leaning on the seat, fast asleep.

Her head was slanted as she leaned on the back seat. Her hair was messy, and her small mouth was slightly open.

Under the dim light inside the car, Si Zhengting could see her dark circles under the thin layer of barrier cream.

Si Zhengting’s gaze unknowingly became more gentle as he stared at her.

He even quickly lent his shoulder for her to lean on when he saw that her head was drooping down along the seat.

?

Zhuang Nainai had no idea how she returned to the bedroom.

When she woke up in a daze, she could feel that she had a slight headache and that her eyes were very heavy. Upon opening her eyes, she felt somewhat befuddled as she did not know where she was and what time it was.

With the bedside lamp emitting subtle light, the room was dimly lit. She sat up while supporting her head. She felt slightly at ease in the familiar environment.

Then, she sat there and started thinking.

Her last memory stopped at following Si Zhengting into a car, wanting to give an explanation but not being able to do it because she was afraid when she saw his expressionless face.

Zhuang Nainai hung her head low. Why was she so timid that she could not speak?
