Oh?
Zhuang Nainai was taken aback.
She finally remembered that a few days ago, when Si Zhengting had refused to listen to her explanation, he seemed to have thrown something away, didn’t he?
She was too sad and angry then, so she did not pay much notice to what he’d done.
Thinking back, Si Zhengting had gone to her room then, so… this laptop was really a gift from Si Zhengting?
It was as if a large field of flowers had bloomed in Zhuang Nainai’s heart, and they were blooming before her eyes resplendently.
She happily hugged her laptop, even forgetting to express her grat.i.tude for the gift, and ran up the stairs to her own room.
She ran toward her bed and flopped down on it before turning on her laptop. An animated background appeared on her desktop. It was both beautiful and unique, and she loved it. If she had felt touched earlier, she was thrilled now.
He had even remembered her preferences!
She didn’t dare believe that he had personally installed the software and designed the background of the laptop – but even if he had found someone else to design the background, he had definitely made her preferences known to the person!
Zhuang Nainai jumped up from the bed excitedly and whirled around her room in ecstasy.
An entire range of software was installed on the laptop, including her drawing software.
Zhuang Nainai faced her laptop happily and started drawing some designs that she had planned well beforehand.
Downstairs…
Si Zhengting had been busy for a while. He opened his office door, saw the butler, and asked, “Where is Madam?”
The butler smiled as he replied, “Madam is in the bedroom.”
Si Zhengting hummed an agreement and turned around, intending to go upstairs. But the butler interjected, “I’ve repaired the laptop that you bought for Madam, and I’ve handed it to her. She seems really happy about it.”
When he heard this, Si Zhengting’s footsteps halted. He raised his eyebrows. “You gave it to her?”
His cheeks felt strangely hot.
He coughed, then calmly said, “You’re being nosy.”
But his tone of voice was not angry at all.
He continued his journey upstairs to his bedroom, then pushed it open just a crack.
Zhuang Nainai was so happy that she was spinning circles on the carpet, barefooted.
Sunlight streamed through the window and cast a dim glow on her. The sunlight was juxtaposed against her smile, which was both bright and adorable.
Si Zhengting regained his senses after an unknown period of time, and he realized that the corners of his lips were upturned in an uncontrollable smile.
He could not bring himself to interrupt her display of happiness.
This was especially so when Zhuang Nainai flopped onto the bed and tinkered around with the computer’s software before exclaiming, “This is awesome! Si Zhengting, I love you to death!” as the laptop was running so smoothly.
I love you to death…
These words were like a spell that was intentionally cast to immobilize him on the spot – his mind turned blank as he was rooted to the floor.
She loved him to death…
Although he knew that these were exclamatory expressions that she did not necessarily mean, he could not help but feel moved.
These romantic words and the tone of voice that they were conveyed in were the most moving and pleasant things that he had ever heard.
His ears were quickly turning red, and his heart felt warm and full. In those moments, he felt as though he was walking in a field of cotton – his entire body was as light as a feather, and it felt surreal.
His grin grew wider.
She loved him to death…
How could he have the heart to let her die?
Si Zhengting’s usually cold gaze was now full of gentleness and happiness.
The smile shocked the housekeeper, who was cleaning upstairs, and the butler.
They exchanged glances, shock evident in their eyes. Was Mr. Si… smiling?
Si Zhengting stood outside the room for a long time and eventually left for the study room without interrupting Zhuang Nainai’s display of happiness.
