Chapter 727: Nainai, Do You Believe Me? (2)
Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m glad that you are fine. I thought something bad has happened to you because you didn’t contact for the whole afternoon.”
After saying this, she asked anxiously, “How is my mother?”
Si Zhengting pursed his lips. He could not recall the answer he had prepared after she cut him off.
He paused for a moment before saying, “Don’t worry, she will be fine.”
Will be fine?
When she heard this, Zhuang Nainai’s heart lurched again. “Have you met my mother?”
Si Zhengting remained silent momentarily before answering, “Yes.”
“How is she?”
Si Zhengting raised his head and glanced at the front doors of the overseas emergency room. Thinking about the scene just now, he answered after a while, “She’s fine.”
At last, Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief. Although she thought that Si Zhengting’s tone was slightly odd, she did not dwell on it.
She asked, “When are you coming back?”
“Probably in two days’ time. I still have to settle some things here.”
He did not elaborate on what things he had to settle specifically.
Zhuang Nainai had wanted to ask more questions when she heard noises in the background from the other end. He was calling her while pa.s.sing down some instructions. It seemed like he was so busy that he did not have time to talk to her.
Then, Zhuang Nainai said, “You should get going. We can talk again once you are free.”
Si Zhengting acknowledged her words. Just as Zhuang Nainai was about to end the call, Si Zhengting suddenly called her name, “Nainai…”
Zhuang Nainai answered immediately, “Yes?”
Si Zhengting paused for a moment before saying slowly, “Do you… believe me?”
Without hesitation, Zhuang Nainai replied, “Yes.”
The two of them had been through so much. What else could get in between them?
She believed him. There was no other person she could trust so much in this world.
Si Zhengting paused, seemingly smiling on the other end. Then, he continued, “Can we… get a divorce first?”
Divorce?
As soon as Zhuang Nainai heard this word, her eyes widened as she stared at her phone in disbelief. After making sure that he was really the one who said that, she pursed her lips and smiled. “Okay.”
Si Zhengting pursed his lips again. “Nainai, be careful of Li Yufeng and Mi Nuo these few days. I will ask Ji Chen to send you the divorce agreement tomorrow. I can’t explain everything in detail over the phone, so I will explain this to you when I return.”
Zhuang Nainai replied once again, “Okay.”
After the call ended, the suffocating feeling in her chest became worse.
Divorce?
Why were they divorcing?
She knew that some married couples would pretend to get a divorce just to buy a second-hand house at a lower loan interest rate. They would get married again after buying the house.
But she and Si Zhengting obviously had no need to do this. So why was he doing this?
Not able to wrap her mind around this, Zhuang Nainai looked down. She chose to not think about it. Since he asked her to wait for his return, she would wait. Regardless of the reason, she believed that he would not harm her.

After Li Yufeng left that cafe, she drove off, planning to meet Mi Nuo. On the way, her phone rang. The call was from Gu Xinghao.
Li Yufeng simply ignored it and looked ahead.
However, the phone would not stop ringing, so she put on her Bluetooth earpiece and accepted the call.
Immediately, Gu Xinghao’s desperate wails could be heard. “Mother, come back home now!”
Li Yufeng said in annoyance, “The relations.h.i.+p between Mi Nuo and me is not what you guys imagine it to be. I can’t tell you certain things right now, but you have to believe me. I have my own reasons. You…”
