Chapter 27: If You Marry Me, You Can Eat That Every Day

The heart-shaped egg was prepared with a runny yolk, just like how Si Zhengting liked it. It splattered when it fell on the ground and looked a little gross.
Crumbs fell off the delicious-looking diamond-shaped potato cakes that were fried a golden brown.
The pieces of banana painstakingly arranged into flower petals were also all over the floor.
Zhuang Nainai looked at the hours of her hardwork and felt her heart tighten and her chest become stuffy.
Her eyes grew red. A lump formed in her throat. She could not bring herself to say what she wanted to say. She bit her lips and fought to not let her tears fall.
Zhuang Nainai bent down and tried to pick up the mess, but she did not know how.
In her heart, she cursed Si Zhengting relentlessly. What a jerk! I would never make you breakfast again!
Having let off some steam, she felt a bit better and let out a sigh.
Forget it, why get angry over this?
He was this cold and unfeeling five years back, but didn’t she conquer him in the end?
She just needed to continue working on it now!
Zhuang Nainai refueled her fighting spirit at this thought.
Si Zhengting heard the commotion and turned to see the contents of the bento box on the ground. His eyes darkened, and familiar scenes of five years ago flashed across his mind.
Back then, she did the same, waking up early to prepare him breakfast day after day. He got used to only eating what she prepared. But then, she left.
After five years of going without breakfast, he developed his gastric problem.
What was she trying to do now?
Trying to bring back his memories of their youth now that she had a use for him?
Si Zhengting clenched his fists and looked at Zhuang Nainai.
The sorrow and disappointment on her face extinguished all his fury.
Such was her charm; it was one that can easily kindle the flames of wrath in him, and then, just as easily, smother the flames.
So… if she was so downcast now, was she also reminded of their beautiful time together? Was she regretting the breakup?
A flicker of light danced across Si Zhengting’s cool eyes. He was about to say something when he saw Zhuang Nainai suddenly stand, her misery and anguish gone. She broke into a sweet smile and said, “Look Si Zhengting, isn’t it a pity that all these food that you loved went to waste? If you marry me, you can eat them every day! Isn’t that great?”
Her voice was listless and soft, but Si Zhengting’s dancing gaze was instantly back to being harsh and cold.
His pitch-black eyes were now burning with rage.
He did not understand his feelings. He walked coolly past her without another glance on the ground.
Zhuang Nainai struggled to contain her anger.
She did not let her temper get the better of her and said such kind words to placate him. Her actions over these two days would be enough to melt a heart of stone.
But this man… how could he be so heartless!
Zhuang Nainai watched him leave and shook in rage. She wanted to go after him, but the bodyguards were alert and on guard. “Ms. Zhuang, please don’t force us.”
