Chapter 890: Mishap, Bitten by a Dog? (5)

Zhuang Nainai was kept awake by her fury. Si Zhengting, too, was not asleep yet.

Sitting in the nursery, he gazed silently at the two infants in the cots.

They were almost three months old. They had wrinkly skin when they had been born, but now, both their skins were fair and smooth.

Having gotten the best genes from both him and Zhuang Nainai, these two children had extremely refined features. They were now fast asleep with their fists clenched and their tiny mouths wide open, having had their meal earlier.

The way they were sleeping so soundly troubled Si Zhengting.

Unable to stop himself, he reached out to squeeze their chubby hands. In a distressed tone, he said, “What should I do when I go to work tomorrow? Should I still go as Xu Dazhi?”

Si Zhengting continued rambling, “I saw your mother today, but she was totally stunned. Come to think of it, I kissed her as Xu Dazhi, so why didn’t she avoid the kiss? Don’t you think she went overboard?”

Perhaps as a way of placating him, the elder child blew out some bubbles with his mouth.

Si Zhengting grew bitter. “Pray tell me, how should I punish her?”

Ji Chen, who was hiding outside, was speechless.

At the same time, there was yet another person unable to fall asleep.

Si Jingyu sat quietly on the sofa in her bedroom.

Even though the lights were off, her eyes were wide open, and she simply stared ahead blankly.

A cold wind blew past the open window into the bedroom. Even though the wind wasn’t as cold as the ones in winter, it was enough to send chills through one’s body. Her hands and legs were now as cold as ice, but she remained on the sofa, seemingly unaffected by the piercing wind.

Bai Yue’s words earlier in the day surfaced in her mind once more. Bai Yue had said that his fever had gone up to 39.5 degrees, but he had insisted on working instead of heading to the hospital.

39.5 degrees...

Why was this man forever so stubborn? Why was he forever unable to take care of himself?

And here she was, debasing herself!

Here she was worrying about his health and losing sleep over him!

At the thought of this, Si Jingyu reached out and gave herself a slap. Standing up and rubbing her temples, she headed toward the bathroom to wash her face.

After that, she lay on her bed and closed her eyes in an attempt to fall asleep.

But... she was still unable to fall into a slumber.

The mere closing of her eyes brought his figure to mind.

For how many months had they not seen each other?

She had constantly busied herself in order to stop herself from thinking about him and the child she never had the chance to meet.

But she realized that, for all her efforts in the past few months, that mere sentence from Bai Yue made everything come crashing down.

Her longing came surging into her heart, causing her chest to feel as if it was being weighed down by a large rock.

She took a deep breath, but it was a futile effort; it did not alleviate the pain she felt.

Si Jingyu decidedly stood up, picked up her coat, and headed outside.

She had no idea where she wanted to go, but she knew that going crazy was an inevitability if she were to stay in her pitch-black bedroom any longer.

She drove around Beijing aimlessly before finally parking her car in front of the villa that the children were residing in. Stepping into the house, she warmed herself for a while before heading toward the nursery.

Standing quietly outside the nursery, she fixed her gaze inside.

So, this was how small three-month-old children were.
