  He brought the breakfast platter in front of Si Zhengting, looking as though he was an obedient child.

  Si Zhengting glanced at him, his gaze dull. After a while, his head drooped. He didn’t say anything. He wound down the car’s window and then drove the car away.

  How could he not know of Su Yanbin’s intentions toward Zhuang Nainai?

  However, he knew that he could trust Su Yanbin’s character.

  Su Yanbin was just as speechless.

  Su Yanbin stared at the back of Si Zhengting’s car.

  But as Si Zhengting had completely ignored Su Yanbin, it made the latter feel as though his slight inclinations toward Zhuang Nainai was filthy.

  And why did he suddenly feel a sense of deja vu, as though he had been caught cheating again?!

  Su Yanbin lowered his head and stared at the platter that he held in his hands, then threw it into the trash.

  ―


  She initially thought that she would have trouble falling asleep, but after Lin Xi’er continued nagging by the side of her ear, Zhuang Nainai fell into a deep sleep.

  The next day, Zhuang Nainai was awoken by a deafening series of knocks on the door.

  She opened her eyes and saw that Lin Xi’er was no longer in bed. Perhaps she had gone home to look for something to eat. Zhuang Nainai rubbed at her sleep-laden eyes and yawned as she walked toward the door.

  “Who is it?” she asked.

  “Gu Qingyan, open the door!” She recognized the impolite voice laced with a tinge of annoyance as Gu Xinghao’s.

  Zhuang Nainai raised her brow.

  She wasn’t afraid to face him. Once she opened the door, Gu Xinghao raced in. “Gu Qingyan, you bad woman! You……”


  Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly became aware of his surroundings. He immediately widened his eyes.

  Zhuang Nainai brushed her hair back with a hand, then yawned as she turned around and sat on the sofa. She looked at him, “What was it that you were saying about me?”


  Gu Xinghao studied his surroundings in amazement. “You, did you grow up in such an environment?”


  Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brow. “Gu Xinghao, cut to the chase! I need to catch up on my beauty sleep!”


  She thought that she was indeed becoming more pampered. In the past, as she had to take care of her mother, she had only slept for four to five hours a day. However, she hadn’t felt this tired back then. If she were to do the same now, she would feel that her body lacked sleep, and she would feel lifeless.

  Gu Xinghao’s tone softened a little. He snorted, “Gu Qingyan, Xingshan and I don’t like you……”


  “Thanks, I also don’t like either of you.” Zhuang Nainai would never sell herself short in conversations.

  Gu Xinghao choked, then he continued, “However, seeing how you’ve been so pitiful since you were a child, I, as the Young Master of the House, have decided that I will not hate you anymore.”


  Zhuang Nainai was speechless. So what was up with this charitable tone of his?

  After he finished speaking, he continued studying his surroundings again in disdain. Then, he glanced toward her arrogantly, saying, “Tell Father that Xingshan didn’t swap the design drafts and we’ll lay those grudges to rest. I’ll also tell Xingshan not to hate you despite how you’ve sullied her name. What about that?”


  Was Gu Xinghao here just to clown around with her?

  “Sully? When did I ever sully her name?” Zhuang Nainai laughed sarcastically as she stood up and walked toward the bedroom. “Leave now, I won’t send you off. Remember to close the front door when you leave.”


  As Gu Xinghao saw her retreating figure, he anxiously grabbed her shoulder. “Hey, how was that not slander? Don’t think that I don’t know anything. Let me tell you, Xingshan and I were in Hainan last week. How did she have the time to swap your design drafts?”


  Zhuang Nainai halted in her footsteps.

  If Gu Xingshan had indeed gone to Hainan, then who had swapped her design drafts?!
