Chapter 820: Si Zhengting, What Exactly Are You Hiding? (16)
Everyone around stared at them.
Sensing, perhaps, that something unusual was going on, they lowered their heads quickly and stared at the s.p.a.ce in front of them, as if they had not witnessed what just happened.
However, they also could not help but p.r.i.c.k their ears to listen for gossip. After all, the law cannot be enforced when everyone is an offender, right?
After Zhuang Nainai threw the bank card at him, she raised her head and said stubbornly, “Si Zhengting, I don’t need your money. I also don’t want you to humiliate me with money! I came to look for you today because, firstly, I want to return you the money and, secondly, I want to talk about our children. According to the country’s law, when the children are still being breastfed, they are under the care of the mother unconditionally even if the couple has divorced. So, do you want to talk to me now? Or do you want to talk to my lawyer tomorrow?!”
Her powerful voice sounded very aggressive, causing Si Zhengting’s eyes to narrow.
He looked at her intently.
Zhuang Nainai could not stand his gaze anymore. In the past, she was most afraid of this particular gaze of his. It was as if his gaze could penetrate her. Hence, she wouldn’t dare to look him in the eyes.
However, a mother is strong. Si Zhengting had been avoiding her constantly, and she understood what this meant. To continue waiting was not something she would do.
Thus, she tried her best to suppress the fear in her and looked him in the eyes firmly.
Their eyes met for only a few seconds. However, to Zhuang Nainai, it felt like forever.
At last, he said, “Follow me.”
After he said this, his gaze swept across the surroundings casually, only to see everyone’s head lowered at that moment. All of them wished they had “I did not see anything” written on their heads.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she lowered her head and followed Si Zhengting into the lounge.
Everyone else was waiting outside. Only the two of them were in the lounge.
After Si Zhengting entered the lounge, he walked toward the window. With hands in his pockets, he did not look at her. However, Zhuang Nainai’s gaze refused to leave him.
It had been a month since they met. Did he not miss her?
As she thought of this, her eyes became red again. She lowered her head quickly and clenched her fists.
In that moment, no one said anything, as if they were cheris.h.i.+ng the only time they had to be alone.
Looking at him, Zhuang Nainai felt like Si Zhengting had become colder, like he was going to become immortal.
Every single corner of Beijing seemed to be always flouris.h.i.+ng.
Although it was nighttime, there was an endless stream of traffic outside the window and it was extremely busy.
The commotion outside could be heard through the open window. This added a touch of humanity to Si Zhengting.
As she stared at him, her eyes suddenly turned red. This month had been miserable for her. It must have been miserable for him too, right?
After an unknown period of time, Zhuang Nainai finally saw him turning around. His gaze wandered on her for a while before he said slowly, “What do you want to say?”
Zhuang Nainai’s fists tightened, and her whole body tensed. She felt like she was about to fight an evil war. Looking at Si Zhengting, she paused for a while before saying slowly, “Si Zhengting, I’m very angry.”
Upon hearing this, Si Zhengting froze.
Soon, he saw big drops of tears flow down Zhuang Nainai’s cheeks as she bit her lip. As her emotions were extremely turbulent, her lips were quivering. “Si Zhengting, I’m very angry. I’m very hurt. I’m very upset…”
