Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

But… so what if they were to dig out all of her secrets?

She would rather not know anything in exchange for the safe return of Mother Zhuang.

After hanging up on Ji Chen, Zhuang Nainai stayed submerged in the barrage of facts that had just been presented to her.

At the particular thought of the fact that Mother Zhuang was still out alone, her whole emotional state worsened.

She knew that she had to relax now that she was pregnant, so she had been trying her best to avoid thinking about unhappy things. But now, the spilling of Li Yufeng’s secrets somehow soured her mood.

Si Jingyu, sensing something amiss with Zhuang Nainai’s feelings, turned her head toward Si Zhengting. “Hey, Ji Chen reported all of this to you. Why did you call him up and make him repeat everything to us?”

Si Zhengting cast a cold glance at Si Jingyu, silent.

Si Jingyu pursed her lips. “Don’t tell me that you were annoyed at how much there was to say?”

Si Zhengting remained quiet, his silence betraying an admission of what she said.

Si Jingyu was speechless.

Si Jingyu didn’t know what to do with Si Zhengting anymore. “I say, Zhengting, you staying so quiet and sullen… you can’t placate your wife like this!”

Si Zhengting, looking at Zhuang Nainai, was still silent. After a while, he called the butler over. “Get Madam a personal bodyguard.”

Upon hearing this, the butler turned to Zhuang Nainai immediately. “Madam, do you have anyone you’re particularly familiar with, enough that you want him to be your personal bodyguard?”

Particularly familiar?

“Dazhuang?” The moment Zhuang Nainai said this, a certain burly, chunky man in the room began wis.h.i.+ng he could shrink into the wall!

Dashan and Xiaoshan began giggling as they looked toward Dazhuang, a little too obviously full of glee at his misfortune!

With that, the butler turned to look at Dazhuang. Dazhuang waved his hands at him instantly in an attempt to refuse. He was now called Dazhuang, but a few days of being with Madam would surely cause his name to change to Daniu, Big Cow!

Dashan and Xiaoshan, still laughing, then suddenly heard Zhuang Nainai speak once more. “Dashan and Xiaoshan?”

The smiles on their faces froze immediately. Now they were the ones wis.h.i.+ng that they could squirm into a hole and not be called by Madam!

Dazhuang, on the other hand, was now standing ram-rod straight. What goes around comes around, he thought, and it was his turn to laugh at them.

But he didn’t have time to laugh for long because Zhuang Nainai continued, “Let’s just stick with Dazhuang since he’s the fittest out of everyone here. With someone chunky like him by my side, I’ll be able to put my mind at ease!”

Dazhuang was speechless.

He nearly fell onto the floor head first! Madam, you’re going to be at ease, but I’m going to suffer! he thought.

Before the butler could say anything, Si Zhengting spoke first. “Huang Peidong.”

“Yes, Mr. Si.” With a face full of agony, Dazhuang stepped forward.

“I’ll leave Madam to you from now onwards. Her safety is now your responsibility.”

With a pained expression on his face, Dazhuang thought, Sir, can I refuse? Can I resign?

Zhuang Nainai stayed with Si Jingyu for a few days, and she soon began to grow bored.

In the blink of an eye, she was nearly five months pregnant.

There was still no news about Mother Zhuang even after such a long period of time. For Zhuang Nainai, no news meant good news.

From the panic and anxiety in the initial stages to the emotional adjustments later on… she was now just left with a sliver of hope in her heart.

In actual fact, however, she was getting more and more frustrated. In order for her to cease such emotions so as to not affect the mood of her child, Zhuang Nainai consistently planned a full schedule for herself every day.

Her pregnancy was getting more and more stable, and her physician had begun suggesting to her to exercise more.

But what could she do at home?

Chapter 615: Uncontrollable Laughter! Who Is the Child’s Father?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was too boring. Zhuang Nainai and Si Jingyu decided to go to work.

They could start designing the clothes for autumn. It would be ready to be released next January.

Once they arrived at the office, every member of staff was surprised by the size of Zhuang Nainai’s belly!

Everyone stared at her belly as she slowly walked into her own office. Then, everyone started talking at once!

“Nainai’s pregnant?”

“Who’s the father of the child?”

“Nainai’s married?”

“Oh my G.o.d!”

The exclamations from the employees caused a ruckus in the company.

The office’s internal QQ group was about to explode.

Everyone was fervently discussing who the father of Zhuang Nainai’s child was.

The discussion had not subsided even by lunchtime.

Zhang Tingting and a couple of employees from the fas.h.i.+on design department were having their lunch and discussing the parentage of the child at the same time. At that moment, Mi Nuo served herself some food and walked over. The conversation once again returned to the parentage of the child.

Someone asked Mi Nuo, “Director Mi, when did Zhuang Nainai get married? She looks so young!”

As Mi Nuo heard this, her grip on her chopsticks tightened.

She had been pranked out of the blue and been refused the recordings a while ago. She knew then that Zhuang Nainai had definitely been the person behind it.

She had put up with it for so long, but she hadn’t expected that Zhuang Nainai’s arrival in the office would immediately cause Mi Nuo to hear unpleasant things that she didn’t want to hear!

Whose child was it? Was she married?

Mi Nuo bit her lips. She responded a moment later, “How would I know? As she’s Zhuang Nainai, perhaps she isn’t married yet!”

After she said this, Zhang Tingting immediately spoke up, “Director Mi, Nainai isn’t such a person. I know you don’t like her, but you can’t…”

Before she could finish what she wanted to say, Mi Nuo’s expression hardened. “If you don’t believe me, you can come to my office and see her file! She’s indeed unmarried. Who knows who the father of her child is?”

Mi Nuo’s words quickly spread among the company’s employees like wildfire.

Furthermore, the news about Zhuang Nainai’s child had taken a life of its own and grew more and more ridiculous. In the end, the gossip that was circulating was that Zhuang Nainai was someone’s lover and had gotten pregnant as a result. She had to keep her pregnancy under wraps; thus, she had been hiding instead of going to work as usual.

There was an abundance of employees in the company who was jealous of Zhuang Nainai, especially in the departments other than the fas.h.i.+on design department. The employees in the venue design department started taking the gossip down a strange direction. As Su Mei heard them gossiping, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “What nonsense are you all spouting? Is she supposed to report to you all about her unmarried status? Also! There are so many people who get pregnant before they are married. What’s there to gossip about?!”

“Tsk tsk, think about it. In the past, Zhuang Nainai always left the office last. We’ve also never seen her on the bus or on the subway. Instead, she always headed for the carpark. She’s so poor, but why did she always go to the carpark?”

Although in the past, Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting seemed to be in an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p, they hadn’t been public since. Over time, the employees felt that there was nothing between them.

“I know!” Su Mei suddenly slapped the table, looking as though she had come to a sudden realization. Everyone looked over and she exclaimed, “The father of the child is definitely Executive a.s.sistant Ji!”

“Is that possible?”

“How is that possible?!”

Su Mei replied confidently, “If you don’t believe me, let’s leave later tonight and catch them together!”

And Ji Chen, who was a couple of floors above arranging some doc.u.ments, suddenly felt an itch in his nose. He sneezed twice in succession.
