Chapter 524: We Are Husband and Wife (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Teacher Zhao Ming was Zhuang Nainai’s fashion design major teacher during her freshman year in college. They had always had a close relationship.

Teacher Zhao Ming had a very remarkable reputation in the entire fashion design industry, and he had mentioned that he wanted to have her as his disciple.

One could say that all her knowledge of fashion design came from Teacher Zhao. Teacher Zhao was the person who introduced her to the world of fashion design. Even though he had suddenly treated her coldly later on and showed an impatient attitude when she went to ask questions after class, her reverence for Teacher Zhao had never changed.

Why did Teacher Zhao specifically ask her to attend the gathering this time?

After she ended the call with the class representative, she sent a message to Xie Yutong to let her know that she was attending the gathering.

Xie Yutong replied, saying that she should doll up on that day and not care about anything else.

Though Zhuang Nainai did not think much of it, never had she thought that a huge mishap would occur at the gathering.

—

In the next few days, Si Zhengting had been waking up early and sleeping late as he hustled between the office and the Si residence.

Zhuang Nainai rested at home, rarely making an appearance at the office. Moreover, she had misunderstood him, so she did not dare to mention a word about staying at the apartment. She simply stayed at the Si residence.

There was a lukewarm atmosphere between both of them again. Even if they were staying in the same room, he would be extremely nonchalant toward her.

Zhuang Nainai thought that he was still angry, so she had been looking for opportunities to offer a sincere apology to him. However, whenever she woke up in the morning, he would have already left for work. Whenever she waited for him to finish his call after he came back at night, she would fall asleep while waiting. Hence, she had not had the chance to apologize.

On the day of the class gathering, she racked her brains as she bit her lips.

Usually, one was allowed to bring family members to the class gathering. Furthermore, Xie Yutong had urged her to bring a boyfriend. So, she could bring Si Zhengting along, couldn’t she?

As she thought of this, her eyes lit up. Then, she walked toward Si Zhengting’s study room carefully.

She gathered her courage after taking in a few deep breaths and opened the study room’s door. Upon inspecting the situation in the room, Zhuang Nainai was stunned.

All she saw was Si Zhengting leaning on the office desk, fast asleep.

Clad in a white shirt, he was still holding a gel ink pen in one hand. Documents were piled up high on the desk. There was a pile of documents that had been approved on one side of the desk and another pile that had not been read on the other.

Seeing him like this made Zhuang Nainai sigh uncontrollably.

Many would say that people of eminent statuses like him were all extremely well-regarded and full of drive, but they failed to see the greater efforts and sacrifices they also made.

Her pace slowed as she approached him. She could tell that he was extremely worn out as his brows knitted tightly together. These few days, their encounters happened at a distance, so she had not expected to see Si Zhengting’s dark eye circles upon closer look.

It was because he had been busy with Mother Zhuang’s search last time, as well as work these few days, wasn’t it?

Suddenly, a sense of pity for him surged in her heart.

She walked away to take a blanket and proceeded to cover him with it lightly. She swallowed the words she had wanted to tell him.

Forget it, it was difficult for him to have a good sleep. He should just rest.

After Zhuang Nainai left the study room, she picked up her phone to call the family doctor and ask about his condition. When the doctor said that everything should be fine as long as he did not overwork himself, she was finally relieved.
