In the quiet room, her breathing sounded weak, just like her; it could really invoke one’s pity.
Si Zhengting turned off his laptop and just listened to her breathing quietly as he sat on the couch. It was only in those moments that he really felt that they were together.
If he could, he was willing to pay any price if that meant that they could stay together ’til the end of the world.
Si Zhengting’s lips curled up as he stood up and walked slowly toward the bed. Only after covering her with a blanket did he walk out of the room.
The family doctor had already arrived and was waiting for him in the living room downstairs. He proceeded downstairs. The family doctor lifted his fringe and helped him apply medicine.
The butler, who was standing beside them, heaved a deep sigh. Actually, Madam should know that Sir got injured so she would forgive him!

Executive a.s.sistant Ji had helped Zhuang Nainai apply for several days of leave. However, on the third day of her leave, she was already bored to death. Si Zhengting had been staying at home to accompany her these last few days, but he had many calls to entertain, so he had only been staying in the study room.
For the past few days, they had not spoken much. Basically, even at the dining table, their conversation merely went thus: Si Zhengting picking up food for her with a stern face and she thanking him.
He did not even go back to the room to sleep at night.
However, Zhuang Nainai was relieved that Si Zhengting did not hate her as much as before. Even though they did not go back to what they were in the past, they were at least respectful toward each other.
Being able to live like this was good enough.
Zhuang Nainai was very grateful for the current situation. After waking up in the morning, she went for a walk in the garden. However, her good mood was spoiled by a call from Gu Deshou.
As she was sick these few days, she had forgotten about the design drafts again.
Zhuang Nainai did not pick up the call and hung up on him. Thereafter, she sent a message to him: “The design drafts of the Imperial Group is not out yet. Give me a few more days.”
After sending the message, she suddenly lost interest in the garden view, so she just went back to the room.
The butler was ordering people to clean up the house. When he saw Zhuang Nainai, he gave her a nod. Zhuang Nainai kept eyeing Si Zhengting’s office from downstairs.
If she were to go upstairs now, to borrow his laptop… would he be disturbed?
Just as she was stuck in this dilemma, she heard the butler say, “Madam, do you need anything?”
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up upon seeing the butler.
She was caught in her own trap!
She had thought she would have to look for Si Zhengting to borrow a laptop, but… she could have just looked for the butler!
Zhuang Nainai grabbed the butler’s arm eagerly, “Uncle Lee, do you have a laptop that’s not in use now? Can I borrow it for a while?”
When the butler heard this, he looked up and glanced upstairs. Shortly after, he understood what she meant and said, “Please give me a moment, Madam.”
After he finished speaking, he went into his room. Soon, he came out with a very sleek and thin laptop.
The casing of the laptop was pink, and it looked very nice and compact. Anyone could tell it was a product for women.
Zhuang Nainai’s gaze that was trained toward the butler changed instantly. She chuckled. “Uncle Lee, no wonder you are not looking for a partner. You actually… like this kind of thing!”
Butler: “…”
The butler’s hands trembled for a moment as he almost smashed the laptop that had been fixed again after much trouble.
He cleared his throat. “Madam, you are thinking too much. This is the laptop that Sir threw that day. I only sent it for repair, and I believe that Sir prepared this laptop for you.”
