Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists tightly.
Gu Deshou had detained Mother Zhuang just to force her to marry Si Zhengting.
However, he had still not told her any news regarding Mother Zhuang even after she got married.
Initially, Zhuang Nainai was still messaging him to ask about it, but Gu Deshou had always given her vague answers.
That made her realize that Gu Deshou was going to continue using her in the future.
After taking a deep breath, Zhuang Nainai asked, “What does the message you sent mean?”
Gu Deshou paused and heaved a deep sigh. “Qingyan, it’s better to talk about this matter in person.”
“Okay, I will go meet you now.”
It had already been more than a week since he had kidnapped Mother Zhuang, so Zhuang Nainai was anxious about her mother’s whereabouts.
“Bring Mr. Si along with you back home. After all, both of you have yet to visit home even after being married for so long.”
Bring Si Zhengting along?
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed.
What were they up to this time?
Zhuang Nainai looked down. “Mr. Si isn’t free. He’s very busy.”
Gu Deshou’s tone deepened. “No matter how busy he is, he should have time to eat a meal at his in-law’s place, shouldn’t he?”
Zhuang Nainai’s lips curled up. “In-laws? Do you think Mr. Si even cares about his in-laws? Anyways, I dare not ask too much. Mr. Si’s att.i.tude towards me has always been cold. If you want him to go back with me, you can just call him yourself.”
Gu Deshou choked. “What is this child even saying? If Mr. Si isn’t free then forget it.”
Zhuang Nainai could only end the call right then.
Ignoring the fatigue of her body, she rushed to the washroom to shower and changed to her clothes. After finis.h.i.+ng these tasks, the door to the bedroom was opened.
Si Zhengting was still wearing his sleepwear as he walked in with a bowl of yellowish-orange millet porridge and a few dumplings in his hands. When he saw her, he was slightly taken aback.
Zhuang Nainai said, “I have something on so I’ll be heading out.”
After she finished speaking, she started to walk out with her head hung low while he was next to her.
However, when she pa.s.sed by him, her wrist was grabbed suddenly. Flabbergasted, Zhuang Nainai looked up to see Si Zhengting’s gaze fixated on her. “Eat your breakfast first.”
Zhuang Nainai was in a rush to go to the Gu’s to ask about her mother’s situation. Since Gu Deshou messaged her, he must be wanting to reveal some news about her mother.
However, it was impossible to reject Si Zhengting after seeing his serious gaze.
Hence, she could only turn around, take the breakfast from Si Zhengting’s hands, place it on the coffee table, and start eating speedily.
She finished the porridge in two to three mouthfuls and ate five to six dumplings in one mouthful each. When she was about to get up to leave, she saw Si Zhengting walking out from the dressing room after changing his clothes.
Zhuang Nainai was taken aback. “You are going out too?”
Today was a Sat.u.r.day, so by right, he did not have to work. However, it was not uncommon for Si Zhengting to work overtime as well.
To her surprise, Si Zhengting said, “I will send you.”
His tone was firm.
But… send her?
Zhuang Nainai was stuck in a dilemma for a moment. Then, she explained, “Gu Deshou called me saying that he wanted me to go home for a while.”
Si Zhengting glanced at her and headed downstairs without saying anything.
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
So, Si Zhengting actually was not against the idea of visiting the Gu’s?
Zhuang Nainai followed him compliantly. Ever since they had a nice talk last night, the tension between them had eased significantly.
But even if this was so, Zhuang Nainai had never dreamed that Si Zhengting would become her personal chauffeur.
Thinking back, whenever Si Zhengting accepted her pursuits, she would be on cloud nine the entire day!
