The sky darkened.
With her thick down jacket on, Zhuang Nainai stared outside the car window.
In the distance hid Si Zhengting’s bodyguards — if Hu Zi dared to do anything to them, the whole group of bodyguards would swarm forward and thwart them.
Si Zhengting hadn’t been nervous, but with Zhuang Nainai now sitting next to him, he found himself growing in nervousness.
As the chilly wind blew in strong gusts outside, Zhuang Nainai felt the cold even from inside the car.
A large portion of the houses in the distance had crumbled, and a bulldozer stood nearby. There was dust everywhere.
Beijing’s winter was known to be cold and dry, causing the dust particles in the air to seem more floaty than usual. The entire place made Zhuang Nainai feel as if her nostrils were extremely dirty, and she rolled up the windows after a while. Lowering her head, she held her phone in her hands, unsure of what she was feeling.
Hu Zi was due to arrive soon. She felt that she shouldn’t be the least bit nervous, but her palms had gone all sweaty.
Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath. Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak and break the silence, she felt a large, warm hand on the back of hers.
With his voice pressed low, Si Zhengting said, “Nainai, don’t be nervous.”
Even though he was telling her not to be nervous, it was plain obvious to Zhuang Nainai through his tone that he was just as nervous as she was.
Zhuang Nainai turned her head in bewilderment. Even he, he who was always calm and steady, was now looking a little unsettled. It was as if he feared that the answer that Hu Zi was going to give them wasn’t going to be the one they both wanted.
She was a little stunned. In all the time she had known Si Zhengting, he had never been this nervous. But now he was getting all frazzled because of Hu Zi’s appearance… it was probably because of how much he cared for her, right?
Zhuang Nainai’s gaze rested on her own belly.
Inside it lay two babies; they were hers, but they were also Si Zhengting’s.
If the answer wasn’t what they wanted, would she really be able to selfishly leave Si Zhengting with the two babies? Or would she leave without them?
All of a sudden, she realized that she had no back-up plan.
She couldn’t let her children be fatherless nor motherless.
At the thought of this, the troubles binding Zhuang Nainai’s heart disappeared.
Yes.
They were husband and wife, no matter what happened — this was an unchangeable fact. Even if it was Ding Mengya who had done everything in the past, it had nothing to do with him, right?
Zhuang Nainai reached out and held Si Zhengting’s hand. Pursing her lips, it was a few moments before she spoke. “Si Zhengting, no matter what happens, our family of four… let’s never break up.”
That made Si Zhengting freeze. He turned around disbelievingly, and upon him meeting Zhuang Nainai’s gaze, tears grew in his eyes.
He knew how much that sentence meant and how much gravity it held.
Si Zhengting nodded his head. Tightly hugging her by the shoulders, he swore in his heart never to let Zhuang Nainai down, and neither would he suspect her ever again!
The two of them locked hands and silently looked out of the windows.
Their appointment with Hu Zi had been set at eight in the evening, and it was now five minutes to eight. That meant that the truth was going to be revealed in five minutes!
She took a deep breath to calm herself down. With that, she continued to stare out of the window.
Time pa.s.sed bit by bit; soon, it was eight.
