  The entire room fell silent.

  Zhuang Nainai was frozen to the spot. She stared at Si Zhengting, stunned.

  She swallowed hard.

  Bits of dessert crumbs hung from his handsome brows.

  His already icy look got even colder, enough to freeze one to death. His face darkened, but his pitch-black eyes betrayed no emotion.

  Zhuang Nainai was at a loss on what to do. She wanted to hand him a tissue, but had instead emptied the glass of water she was holding in his direction.

  Fortunately, Si Zhengting was quick enough to turn his face to avoid getting splashed.

  Zhuang Nainai breathed a sigh of relief. She placed the glass back on the table and attempted to wipe Si Zhengting’s face with tissue paper. However, due to her nerves, she had knocked over the goblet in front of Si Zhengting in her frenzy.

  The goblet tipped over and was about to spill its contents on Si Zhengting.

  Si Zhengting had ample time to dodge, but Zhuang Nainai had already lunged over. If he were to move out of the way, Zhuang Nainai would fall onto the floor.

  He could only remain in his spot.

  By the time the tissue paper touched his face, he was feeling a cool sensation on his legs. The red wine had landed on his trousers.

  The room was in chaos, and the table was a mess.

  Zhuang Nainai finally realized her mistake and stood there obediently, watching Si Zhengting with her huge sparkling eyes, desperately trying to convey messages of “I didn’t mean that,” “I’m innocent,” and “Please forgive me.”


  Dessert crumbs hung from Si Zhengting’s brows, tissue paper stuck out on his shirt, and red wine dripped from his drenched trousers.

  The veins on his temples jumped – he had never been in such a piteous state before.

  Zhuang Nainai was in shock. She had no idea what to do.

  She swallowed again and stammered timidly, “Si Zhengting, you…… I…… you……”


  She had not finished her sentence when she heard a loud bang.

  Si Zhengting stood up abruptly, flames of fury dancing in his eyes. His chin was taut with anger, and he looked at Zhuang Nainai with his brows tightly knotted.

  Zhuang Nainai involuntarily shrunk her neck and took a step back. “Si…… Si Zhengting, a gentleman does not resort to force! I…… I……”


  Screech!

  Si Zhengting pulled the heavy chair aside in a swift movement and turned to leave.

  Zhuang Nainai was instantly relieved. It was a good thing that he did not hit her.

  However, she quickly realized that they were sharing the same ride. She looked longingly at the unfinished dishes on the table.

  Even though she was already full, these dishes were really good!

  She wished to take away the food and save them for a late night snack. But, would the car still be waiting by the time she was done packing?

  Zhuang Nainai grabbed her bag and ran out of the restaurant. Si Zhengting was nowhere to be seen.

  Damn it!

  Looks like he was ditching her again.

  He had driven off the previous time they fought too.

  It had made her look like a fool in the family.

  Resigned, Zhuang Nainai returned to the private room and worked hard to put on a calm front when speaking to the service staff. “Please help me to pack up all these dishes for take away, thank you!”
