Chapter 201: Why Are You Crying?

The eyes of the person in front of him were extremely swollen. He looked at her helplessly, as if she was a pitiful, abandoned puppy. The moist tears had cleansed her already clear and clean eyes until there wasn’t a single speck of dust left.

This Zhuang Nainai that was so weak had crushed the barriers around Si Zhengting’s heart in an instant.

The emotional entanglement since five years ago, on top of her intense reaction at the mention of having a baby yesterday — it was as if everything no longer mattered, his heart had softened thoroughly.

His Adam’s apple moved slightly. Without saying anything further, he sat beside Zhuang Nainai, extended his two slender but strong arms, and directly held Zhuang Nainai in his embrace.

Upon doing so, his body became stiff.

As the successor of the Imperial Group, since when had he ever tried to appease others?

He did embrace her on impulse, but what should he do next?

After deliberating for a while, Si Zhengting patted Zhuang Nainai’s back clumsily and slowly. It was as if he could chase away all her unhappiness by his gesture.

While patting her back, Si Zhengting lowered his head and asked, “What happened?”

His tone was filled with tender affection that he himself didn’t even notice.

Zhuang Nainai bit her lips while feeling aggrieved. She suddenly inclined her head to the side and looked towards Si Zhengting. She repeatedly curled her lips and finally couldn’t hold it back any longer. “... My leg hurts so much.”

Si Zhengting was puzzled.

Zhuang Nainai was never such a delicate and fragile person; hence, that definitely wasn’t why she cried.

He stopped patting Zhuang Nainai’s back.

Zhuang Nainai really wanted to tell him everything, but she couldn’t, she had promised Ding Mengya to let bygones be bygones. Rather than letting it all out now and making both of them suffer the pain, it would be better to suppress that matter deep down in her heart and not bring it up forever.

However, saying that her ankle hurt so much was too far-fetched a reason.

Yet, she really wasn’t able to come up with other reasons at this point in time, as she had cried until she felt dizzy.

She bit her lips and looked up towards Si Zhengting with her moist and big, swollen eyes.

He was still as expressionless as before. She couldn’t tell if he was really angry or not.

Shortly after, he pushed Zhuang Nainai away and stood up immediately.

Zhuang Nainai felt a knot in the pit of her stomach. She looked at him as he stood up and walked out.

“Thud!”

The room door closed.

Zhuang Nainai’s gaze dimmed in an instant.

He... was angry again, right?

Zhuang Nainai laughed at herself and embraced her knees.

However, be it physically or mentally, she was so exhausted right now that she didn’t want to chase after him nor accommodate him.

Zhuang Nainai felt her nose tingling; her heart contracted tightly.

This evil man!

She was clearly so dejected, yet he threw a tantrum and left in a huff.

She didn’t want to love him anymore.

With this thought in her mind, she felt so aggrieved that her tears streamed down.

The faint sound of her sob drifted in the empty room.

Zhuang Nainai allowed herself to feel sad again for another two minutes, only then did she raise her head.

Now wasn’t the time for her to feel sad. Si Jingyu and Shi Jinyan were waiting for her so they could have dinner together downstairs. There was also an arrogant man waiting for her to appease him.

Zhuang Nainai took out a piece of tissue to wipe her tears and mucus. She then kicked away the pair of stilettos and limped towards the bathroom. She was ready to wash her face with cold water and apply it onto her eyes.

At this moment, she heard a clicking sound from outside and the door opened.
