Chapter 216: I’ll Treat You to a Meal After I’ve Received My Salary

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ever since Si Zhengting had seen her internet browser, Zhuang Nainai had set up a pa.s.sword for her cell phone. However, when a text message arrives, it would appear directly on the screen.

The number that had sent the text message over was saved as “Senior” in Zhuang Nainai’s contact list. The content was as follows:

“Junior, I was quite busy these days and didn’t show you concern. How’s your work going?”

Upon seeing this, Si Zhengting’s expression immediately became somber.

It’s the easiest for people to develop feelings for each other in a senior and junior relations.h.i.+p.

Moreover, he didn’t show concern for her? What was he trying to do by sending this text message then?

Si Zhengting felt gloomy all of a sudden as he frowned and sat on the sofa.

After Zhuang Nainai took a warm bath, wore her pajamas, and came out, she saw Si Zhengting sitting on the sofa while holding his notebook, but she didn’t know what he was doing.

Being used to this look of his, Zhuang Nainai didn’t find it uncomfortable at all. She directly lied down on the bed, picked up her cell phone, and began playing with it.

As such, she saw Senior Su Jinhui’s text message.

Although she was leading a fulfilling life in the company, she was unhappy at the fact that she was being picked on by Zhang Zhaowen every day. Now that someone was so concerned about her, honestly speaking, Zhuang Nainai could feel the warmth.

She then picked up the cell phone and replied, “Thank you for your concern, Senior, everything is fine.”

She was completely unaware that once she had sent that text message, Si Zhengting’s computer had let out a “cluck” sound.

It seemed like the other party was waiting for her text message. Thus, she received a reply shortly after sending it.

“When you first enter a company, unpleasant incidents will definitely occur. Just treat it as a trial. If anything crops up, you can come and find me.”

While holding her cell phone, Zhuang Nainai turned her body over and tapped her keyboard at lightning speed, “Got it~ Senior, I’ll return you the money once I receive my salary tomorrow.”

Su Jinhui replied, “There’s no hurry, feel free to ask me for help anytime.”

Anytime?

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes brightened up. “Senior, do you know of a software called Ill.u.s.trator? Can you send it to me?”

The Ill.u.s.trator software was a design software specifically for fas.h.i.+on designing. The illegal copy online wasn’t very user-friendly. Thus, most people who do fas.h.i.+on design use the official edition of the software.

It was merely a software, he didn’t have to violate the company rules whatsoever. It was an easy favor that required little effort.

Su Jinhui replied, “No problem.”

Zhuang Nainai said, “Thank you, Senior!”

Su Jinhui teased her, “It’s your catchphrase again~”

Zhuang Nainai smiled in embarra.s.sment. Ever since that incident, they’d not been in contact with each other.

However, just a few days ago, she had heard that Su Jinhui had a girlfriend. Thus, she had probably misunderstood the other party.

Come to think of it, it was quite narcissistic of her to think that Su Jinhui had taken a fancy to her.

She felt more comfortable this way.

Zhuang Nainai quickly sent a text message over. “I’ll treat you to a meal after I’ve received my salary!”

Upon sending this text message, she immediately felt a rush of cold air in the room. She raised her head and glanced in bafflement at Si Zhengting, who was sitting on the sofa.

It seemed like this person had come across something that made him unhappy. At this moment, he was releasing cold air all around him.

This time… it definitely wasn’t because of her!

Zhuang Nainai was so certain of this that she didn’t do anything. As such, she got out of the bed quietly, wore her slippers, and held her cup, intending to pour some hot water to drink.

Zhuang Nainai had to walk past Si Zhengting’s back to get to the drinking fountain, which was on the other side of the room.

Chapter 217: A Heavy Rainstorm and a Strong Gale

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As Zhuang Nainai stood up, held her cup, and walked over, Si Zhengting, who was staring at the display screen sulkily, calmly stretched out his long, slender fingers and tapped the keyboard for a couple of times. The content on the screen then changed in an instant.

After pouring a cup of water for herself and returning to her bed, he tapped the keyboard a couple more times, and the content that was originally on the screen returned again.

That was a chat box. While its surroundings were completely black, strangely, there were only white words displayed in the middle.

However, upon taking a closer look at it, one would realize that those white words were actually Zhuang Nainai’s text messages!

At this moment, Su Jinhui had already replied, “You’re receiving your salary tomorrow? So, we’ll meet tomorrow afternoon?”

Fortunately, Zhuang Nainai still had a conscience. “I’m meeting someone else for lunch in the afternoon. At night, then?”

Su Jinhui replied, “Sure, I’ll wait for your text then.”

The conversation ended here, but Si Zhengting stared deeply at these very words – I’ll treat you to a meal.

The more he looked at them, the more stifled he felt. While sulking, he turned to look at Zhuang Nainai, only to see her drink two sips of water while sitting in front of the mirror and applying some toner onto her face. She seemed very pleased with herself as she walked towards the bed with light footsteps. After lying down on the bed, she took her earphones out and put them on.

Even without looking at her phone, Si Zhengting knew that she must be watching those melodramatic romantic dramas again!

He looked at her again. With the phone screen facing her, its brightness made her small face seem even more distinct. That delicate look of hers varied along with the progression of the story plot. She either couldn’t help but laugh or wait anxiously. Sometimes, she even knitted her brows together.

Yet, each expression was so beautiful that it could be viewed many times with lasting interest.

When Si Zhengting snapped out of it and looked at the computer screen, it was already 11 pm.

He was momentarily stunned. Did he misread the time?

How could he have unconsciously stared at Zhuang Nainai like this for half an hour?

Yet, as someone with very good time management, he knew that he had really done such a silly thing.

Si Zhengting pressed his lips together and looked at the person on the bed again. She seemed to be watching a funny scene because she was trying very hard not to laugh too loudly. Yet, while she was holding back her laughter, her body trembled slightly.

Seeing how she was enjoying her time and laughing away, Si Zhengting felt even more gloomy.

He closed the computer and stood up all of a sudden.

The villain on the bed seemed to have sensed his sudden movement at once. She looked at him with a panic-stricken gaze. Her immediate reaction was to take off her earphones, place her cell phone below her pillow, and lie down obediently.

She did all these within three seconds. She couldn’t be any more experienced.

At first, Si Zhengting hadn’t intended to do anything to her. Yet, upon seeing her reaction, he instantly became even more upset.

Was he a savage beast? She was actually so afraid of him!

As his anger was surging, he couldn’t be bothered to control himself. He directly got onto the bed, stretched out his arms, and embraced a certain woman who was pretending to be asleep.

Tonight, Si Zhengting was even more ferocious than the last few nights. Every time he used his strength, it seemed as if even the innermost part of him wanted to correspond with her, causing Zhuang Nainai to jolt within his arms. She couldn’t help but think, Why is he angry again?

―

In this room, there were a heavy rainstorm and a strong gale. On the other hand, the other room was like a world full of ice and snow.

After Si Zhengting had dropped the hint, turned around, and left, s.h.i.+ Jinyan stared at Si Jingyu with a gentle yet slightly obstinate gaze.

Si Jingyu stood rooted to the ground and clenched her fist tightly.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard s.h.i.+ Jinyan say, “If I leave today, our mother would definitely call me tomorrow and ask what’s going on.”
