Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhuang Nainai stopped in her tracks.
There were several teams in the fas.h.i.+on design department. Some were in charge of designing for the Imperial Group’s home brand, and some designed solely for Si Zhengting.
Si Zhengting and his companion’s attire for a large-scale event, such as the company’s 100th-year-anniversary celebration, was a big matter.
The Ms. Zuo they were talking about must be Zuo Yiyi.
But…
She was already married to Si Zhengting!
Why was Zuo Yiyi attending the celebration event as his companion?
Zhuang Nainai bit down on her lips, a sense of bitterness rising within her.
It must mean that he did not wish for their marriage to be publicized.
The conversation in the pantry continued.
“Come on, how could you believe those rumors? How would we not know if Mr. Si had really gotten married? Besides, there’s only a side profile of the girl in the photo, you can’t see her face at all. And I heard that this Ms. Gu had grown up in the slums. How could Mr. Si accept someone like her?”
Zhang Tingting frowned. “If so, Mr. Si’s fiancée would be so sad!”
“Remember, she’s a fiancée, not his wife. The wedding might not even take place…”
The pair left the pantry with their coffee, paying Zhuang Nainai no attention when she walked past them.
Their conversation was stuck in Zhuang Nainai’s head.
He was worried that she might be an embarra.s.sment, therefore he…
Her heart tightened. She gazed ahead of her in disbelief.
He had been so cold and distant today. His gentle concern from days earlier was like a dream.
A bitter smile formed on Zhuang Nainai’s lips. Si Zhengting, what exactly am I to you in your heart?
Five years ago, you tricked me.
Five years later, I still mean so little to you.

It was another hectic day in the design department. The team had the morning to arrange their thoughts, and the afternoon was dedicated to meetings.
Time pa.s.sed quickly. Zhuang Nainai felt as if she had only just gotten to work when it was already noon.
However, she received no text from executive a.s.sistant Ji today.
Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows and bit her lips.
She had wanted to throw a tantrum for Si Zhengting’s wrongdoing this morning.
But upon reconsideration, she had forgotten her place and became complacent after his nice treatment towards her over the past two days.
Ding Mengya’s words sounded nasty last night, but one thing rang true.
She only had Si Zhengting to rely on today.
Mother was still in Gu Deshou’s hands. If she made Si Zhengting unhappy now, what would Gu Deshou do to Mother?
Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath and stood up to head to the top floor.
She was about to walk up the stairs when she heard a ding from the lift.
Zhuang Nainai paused in her steps and glanced over.
The lift door opened to reveal a fas.h.i.+onable and graceful lady. A hint of excitement and joy was etched on Zuo Yiyi’s proud and aloof face.
Zuo Yiyi exited the lift and frowned upon seeing Zhuang Nainai. Disdain and loathing flashed in her eyes, and she approached her slowly in her 9-cm stilettos. “Zhuang Nainai, why are you here? Are you still pining after Brother Ting? I told you to stop trying, Brother Ting will not marry you no matter what you do!”
