Chapter 34: I’ve Always Liked You!

“But I’ve regretted! I’ve come to realize that I’ve always liked you, so please, can we get married?”

Regret?

Always liked him?

He had wished for her to say these words from the very beginning. However, he felt a wave of irritation and anger rising within him: she had declared her feelings in such an indifferent tone.

Si Zhengting clenched his fists and fought to control his growing rage. He shot Zhuang Nainai a cold glance and walked briskly to his car, his mood foul.

He had to leave before he does something he would regret.

Zhuang Nainai was perplexed.

He asked for a reason, but now he was going to just leave?

What was that all about?

Zhuang Nainai took a step forward, “Hey... Si Zhengting, you...”

He turned with a blood-red death glare that startled Zhuang Nainai.

The rest of her sentence got stuck in her throat.

She then heard Si Zhengting threaten in a harsh tone devoid of any warmth, “Zhuang Nainai, if you dare cross me again, I will make the Gu Corporation disappear! Now! Immediately! Right this instant!”

He was shrouded in a formidable air of aggression.

Zhuang Nainai was stunned into silence. She watched unmoving as he climbed into the car and drove off.

Even long after the entourage left, she did not regain her senses.

Why did it end this way when Si Zhengting’s attitude towards her just turned for the better? They even kissed!

She was baffled. As the cars moved out of sight, Lin Xi’er ran over and waved the camera in her hands. “I got the shots! But are you sure you want to send them to the press? If all the headlines in the papers are about your impending marriage, Mr. Si will know that you used him. You guys may never... work it out again...”

Zhuang Nainai chased her puzzlement from her mind and looked at Lin Xi’er. She hesitated and sighed, “Xi’er, do you think we’ve still got a chance?”

Lin Xi’er paused. She thought about Si Zhengting’s actions and kept quiet.

Zhuang Nainai drew in a deep breath. “You wait for my news, I will go to the Gu’s now. If they... we will have no use for these photos.”

Lin Xi’er nodded. “You explain nicely to your father. He is, after all, your family. He would not make it difficult for you.”

Zhuang Nainai smiled helplessly. Wouldn’t they?

It was already 10pm when Zhuang Nainai reached the Gu’s house. Gu Deshou and Li Yufeng were still up and watching television in the living room. Gu Deshou was surprised when he saw Zhuang Nainai. He stood and anxiously asked, “Qingyan, did Mr. Si agree to it?”

He was not concerned with the fact that she did not return home for the past two nights – the first question he had instead was regarding Si Zhengting’s answer?

Could he really be her biological father?

Zhuang Nainai snorted. Why did it feel like these two “parents” had no feelings for her, that the only reason they sought her was for the arranged marriage to Si Zhengting?

She had always been sensitive to such conspiracies, having been brought up in a broken family. Furthermore, she always trusted her intuitions.

She always felt that her mother had complicated entanglements with this family.

And between her mother and this family, she trusted her mother more.

Zhuang Nainai paused and did not answer him. Instead, she asked, “Dad, tomorrow is the deadline for the 500 thousand yuan. Is it really impossible for you to get that money for me?”

Gu Deshou was lost for words.
