Zhuang Nainai rubbed her forehead and was about to reply when she heard the turn of the doork.n.o.b. She jumped over immediately and leaned to hold the door shut. “One more minute, I’m almost done.”
The movement on the other side of the door ceased, and she heard a soft reply of acknowledgement.
Zhuang Nainai sighed, feeling like her head was in a big mess.
She took off her clothes and turned on the hot shower, but she was too preoccupied in her mind and had instead turned the tap for cold water instead.
The icy cool stream poured down on her and made her s.h.i.+ver all over, but it also made her alert and clear-headed at once.
The scenes from five years ago flashed across her mind. She clenched her fists tightly.
She closed her eyes and a droplet streaked across her cheek. She was not sure if it was a tear, or just water.
They had just agreed to start over. This was not the right time to meet his mother.
They did not see eye to eye. Perhaps both sides could put up with each other for Si Zhengting’s sake. However, given his mother’s character, it would definitely affect her recently improving relations.h.i.+p with Si Zhengting if they were to end up in an argument.
Zhuang Nainai made up her mind and put on a determined front.
She took a quick cold shower. Feeling more energized, she put on her bathrobe and finally walked out.
In the bedroom, Si Zhengting was in a white s.h.i.+rt and going through some work doc.u.ments on the black leather couch. He saw her walk out and took a cool glance at her.
Her hair was still dripping wet and was stuck to her face. Her face looked clean and white under the water droplets, which made her dark eyes stand out even more.
Her pyjamas was oversized and hence did not show her figure. But it aroused his curiosity and desire even more.
Si Zhengting swallowed and felt his blood rush to a certain part of his body.
He narrowed his deep dark eyes.
Si Zhengting had abstained from women for so many years. After that streak was broken, he had been feeling his insatiable wants grow over the past few days. However, he remembered her fatigue from the previous night and their appointment with Mrs. Ding the next day and decided to let her off for the night.
He put his laptop down and tried to look casual putting both hands into his pockets and holding the fabric up like a tent.
However, she took a glance and asked in a surprised tone, “What do you have in your pockets? Why are they so full?”
Si Zhengting’s ears and cheeks flushed red. He gave a cough and ignored the question, walking into the bathroom instead. “I’m going to shower.”
Zhuang Nainai watched him walk into the bathroom and could not make out what was going on. A long while later, she finally understood the situation and grew uneasy.
She had to work harder than everyone else over the years to juggle taking care of her mother and going to school. She had also spent whatever free time she had on fas.h.i.+on design as it was her interest. As such, she was slow and unperceptive in other matters like this.
However, as a woman of the 21st century, how could she not realize that sooner?
Zhuang Nainai’s face flushed red in an instant, and she was dying of embarra.s.sment.
She paced the room for many rounds, going crazy.
In the bathroom, Si Zhengting calmly closed the door before feeling the feverish heat on his face.
A faint smile appeared on his usually stony face.
