Chapter 224: I’m Your Wife, Not Your Prisoner

She wasn’t allowed to go out?
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened while looking surprised. “Why?”
“There’s no reason why.” This reply was simply domineering and resolute.
This man!
Is definitely a China fascist!
Zhuang Nainai was so angry that her chest heaved repeatedly. Due to the regulation stipulated by him and the call he had made, she had just been given a dressing down by his employee. Now, this man was acting like this?
Zhuang Nainai said angrily, “But I’ve already promised the other party.”
Before Si Zhengting could speak, Zhuang Nainai complained softly, “I’m your wife, not your prisoner!”
Her voice sounded like she was in low spirits and slightly gloomy.
At these words, Si Zhengting felt suffocated. The words that he had wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Although he was at the top floor, he could seem to imagine Zhuang Nainai pursing her lips and looking unwilling while saying this.
She had plenty of facial expressions. Right now, she was probably wrinkling her nose, looking witty yet adorable.
Strangely, Si Zhengting felt better.
Finally, this arrogant man started to wonder, wasn’t it not very good of him to be like this?
As such, Arrogant Sir finally spoke, “Where are you going?”
From this sentence, Zhuang Nainai could sense that he was becoming more flexible and said hastily, “Not somewhere too far away, we’ll be having hotpot at Hai Di Lao, which is just opposite the company. I owe Senior a huge favor.”
Judging from the fact that she wasn’t hiding anything from him, the feelings that Zhuang Nainai had towards that Senior should be very pure.
Si Zhengting felt slightly relieved. Yet, at the thought of just the two of them eating together, he was in low spirits again.
He couldn’t say yes, and neither could he stop her from going.
Si Zhengting would rather not say anything.
His att.i.tude made Zhuang Nainai feel excited all of a sudden. “It’s decided then. After work, you’ll head home first. You must eat your dinner. I’ll have dinner with Senior and return home after that. See you at home.”
Strangely, when he heard these few words –”See you at home”– the last bit of gloominess in Si Zhengting’s heart vanished.
That’s right, they’re a married couple now, what’s there for him to worry about?
Besides, the conversation had already come to this point. If he were to object to it, wouldn’t it make him seem very petty and bad?
Thus, he still couldn’t reject her verbally.
A cunning look swept across Si Zhengting’s gaze. After hanging up the call, he called Ji Chen right away and gave him a mission.
Ji Chen said, “… Mr. Si, is it really alright for us to play tricks on Ms. Zhuang like this?”

Zhuang Nainai was on tenterhooks in her seat. She then sent Su Jinhui a text message to confirm her appointment with him.
Su Jinhui seized the chance and chatted with her: “How are you feeling today?”
While looking around at the empty office, Zhuang Nainai sighed.
In fact, she didn’t want to get fired, mainly because it would be quite embarra.s.sing for her to face Si Zhengting. In addition, although she hadn’t been working here for long, she really loved this place.
The Imperial Group was indeed a big corporation with an abundance of capable people, and there were many opportunities for her to learn. Moreover, being on the same floor as the fas.h.i.+on design department, she might even stand a chance to get transferred to that department.
She must know that if she were to leave this place, her occupation as a venue designer might very well become set in stone.
Zhuang Nainai deliberated for a moment, then grumbled to Su Jinhui: “Is it a very serious matter to leave your cell phone turned on during a meeting?”
She had a.n.a.lyzed the company’s rules and regulations before. Why didn’t she feel that this was an unforgivable matter?
Su Jinhui replied quickly: “Sorry, I forgot you were in a meeting, I shouldn’t have texted you. As for this matter, I’ll look into it. Don’t worry, it’s a small problem.”
