Chapter 425: Mr. Si Pursues His Wife (5)Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Si Zhengting glanced at him, his gaze dull. After a while, his head drooped down and he mumbled an agreement.
Su Jinhui walked to Zhuang Nainai’s side. After he sat down, he glanced at Si Zhengting, politely asking, “Mr. Si, why are you here?”
Why was he here?
Was he supposed to leave her alone and allow her to be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by this man?
Si Zhengting felt strangely annoyed by this question. The woman in question was undeniably his, but why did this man act as though Zhuang Nainai was his woman and ask him this question so brazenly?
Si Zhengting’s gaze was lowered and he was staring at his teacup. It was as though he had not heard Su Jinhui’s question. Su Jinhui felt a bit awkward because of the silence.
Of course, he didn’t dare to get mad at Si Zhengting. Thus, he subtly changed the topic. He started a discussion with Zhuang Nainai. “Junior, about the design we talked about in the afternoon, I have a new idea…”
In a short while, Su Jinhui had successfully attracted Zhuang Nainai’s attention. She listened to him raptly.
Seeing how they were on such intimate terms with each other, Si Zhengting felt jealousy boiling up within him. He felt bitter. He suddenly spoke up, saying, “Su Jinhui, about the matter you had gone on a business trip for, what’s the status of it now?”
Su Jinhui had only changed the topic and spoken to Zhuang Nainai because Mr. Si had ignored him. He hadn’t expected Mr. Si to suddenly ask him a question. He shot Zhuang Nainai an apologetic smile, then reported the status of the matter to Si Zhengting in a business-like fas.h.i.+on.
Seeing how Zhuang Nainai had picked up her cell phone to alleviate her boredom, Si Zhengting felt slightly better.
Su Jinhui rattled off about his business trip and finally managed to conclude his report. Then, he asked, “Mr. Si, what do you think?”
If he said that it was good, then Su Jinhui could conclude the matter and continue speaking with his junior!
However, he didn’t expect Si Zhengting to raise his head and look him in the eye before calmly saying, “I’m sorry, I lost you halfway through your report. Please repeat what you just said.”
Su Jinhui was speechless.
Ji Chen, who was seated next to Si Zhengting, was speechless as well.
After a while, the service staff began serving the food. It was only then that Su Jinhui finished his report for the second time. He asked again, “Mr. Si, what do you think about the matter?”
Si Zhengting paused, stared at the menu for a while, then said, “Let’s tuck in now. We’ll talk about work when it’s time for work.”
Su Jinhui was speechless with shock. So what did Mr. Si mean to achieve by asking him about the business trip?!
Si Zhengting was totally oblivious to Su Jinhui’s dark expression. He was staring at the large crab that had been served.
It was crab season. Thus, each person had to have a crab if they were patronizing a seafood restaurant.
He remembered that Zhuang Nainai loved the yolk of the crab. However, she found it too troublesome whenever she ate crab.
Thus, he picked up the tool to crack the crab sh.e.l.l, then began to desh.e.l.l the crab. He extracted all the meat and turned toward Zhuang Nainai, intending to give it to her. However, he saw Su Jinhui handing over his plate to Zhuang Nainai. “Junior, take this.”
Then, he took Zhuang Nainai’s plate away — her crab had been cruelly torn into pieces and it made for a gruesome sight.
Si Zhengting was speechless.
Si Zhengting stared at the meat that he had neatly extracted from the crab. He had even categorized and plated them elegantly. It looked really appetizing. He thought that he had acted quickly enough, but in the end, someone had beat him to it.
His usually expressionless face was ice-cold at the moment.
At that moment, an attendant was serving everyone wine. When he was next to Si Zhengting, his eyes narrowed. He reached out and his arm knocked over the gla.s.s of red wine. The red wine spilled over into Zhuang Nainai’s plate of crab!
Zhuang Nainai was speechless with shock.
