Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhuang Nainai looked down at the medicine in her hands. Go big or go home!
She hung up and hid behind the lamppost, all the while keeping a close eye on the Imperial Group building.
One by one, the employees all left for home, but Si Zhengting was still nowhere in sight. What a workaholic! Does he not care for his own health?
But… why should his health be of any concern to her?
Recalling the numerous times she had been spurned by him, Zhuang Nainai felt her anger rise within her again.
She looked fairly pretty, why did that man show no sympathy at all?
d.a.m.n it! May he never get an erection in this lifetime!
It was eight o’clock sharp when Zhuang Nainai, restless and fidgety beyond measure, finally detected movements at the building entrance.
A few black-suited bodyguards cleared the area and drove Si Zhengting’s exclusive ride, the black Maybach, to the entrance. Si Zhengting briskly exited the building and stood at the door. He scanned his surroundings, as if looking for something, before getting into the car.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes brightened at the sight of him and rushed to the corner of the entrance.
After a short while, she could hear the cars approaching. She waited for the first car carrying the bodyguards to pa.s.s before clenching her teeth and das.h.i.+ng onto the road.
Worried that the Maybach would not brake in time, she shouted just as she took her first step: “Ahhhh! A cras.h.!.+ Someone’s knocked down!”
She was in the middle of the road by the time she finished shrieking.
Zhuang Nainai s.h.i.+vered in fear. She stood rooted to the ground, her eyes closed.
Inside the car, Si Zhengting sat in the backseat. He was not reviewing doc.u.ments as usual. A feeling of emptiness was gnawing at him.
Given Zhuang Nainai’s character, she would have waited for him outside the office building. Why was she not there?
Perhaps she had a last-minute errand? Or… she had given up? Just like how she left so easily five years ago?
He was deep in thought when he suddenly saw a familiar figure bolt onto the road ahead.
Even though he knew that his car had the power to easily stop in time and not hit her, his heart still nearly leaped out in that instant.
Screech!
The brake sounded.
Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows and forced one eye open…
Only to find a funny and also extremely embarra.s.sing scene: the car braked so well that there was still some distance between them.
Zhuang Nainai thought on her feet and shuffled two steps forward to be in contact with the car. She then sat down on the floor and wailed, “Ahhh… I’m hurt! A collision!”
The chauffeur twitched his lips. How could she be hurt and still shout in such a booming voice? And she seriously thought they were blind enough to miss the steps she took towards the car?
The chauffeur turned to check on the pa.s.senger in the back seat. Where did he go?
Zhuang Nainai wailed and peered ahead of her through slitted eyes.
She heard the car door open and found Si Zhengting was standing in front of her in a flash. In an anxious and frustrated voice, he demanded, “Zhuang Nainai, are you trying to get yourself killed?”
Why did that voice sound like he was concerned for her?
However, Zhuang Nainai could not care and wait any further now that she finally got to see him. She jumped up off the ground, enveloped her arms around his neck, and wrapped her legs tightly around his waist. Then, she leaned in to kiss his lips.
