Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mi Nuo suddenly felt a great sense of agitation rising in her heart. She took a step forward. “Mr. Si, I want to ask… In your heart, am I really just a normal employee?”
With that, she faced him with her expectant gaze and waited for his answer.
“No, you aren’t.”
These three words made her feel as if she, in a desert, had just seen an oasis. Her eyes brightened up immediately, and she fixed Si Zhengting with an excited gaze, her agitation making her whole body tremble.
She wanted to take it one step further. “So, what am I?”
Si Zhengting furrowed his brows, seemingly thinking hard about her question. Eventually, he said, “A clown.”
Zhuang Nainai had been listening in amus.e.m.e.nt. Someone had just confessed to her husband — what sort of expression should she be making right now?
She remembered how she would surely have gone to fight with the other party before. She would have made the person retreat while she would increase in confidence.
But now?
Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips just as she heard Si Zhengting say the word “clown.”
Unable to stop herself in time, she laughed out loud!
This man had such a vicious tongue!
There was probably nothing else on earth that could compare with such a heartbreaking moment for the female party in a situation like this.
She had secretly liked him for a few years, but he had just described her as a clown.
Zhuang Nainai smiled and shook her head. Tsk, five years had already pa.s.sed. Why was he still stuck with his venomous tongue?
But why was he also still just as cute?
Why was he still causing people to want to rush up to him to give him a kiss?
Zhuang Nainai decidedly walked out of the room and watched as Mi Nuo went stiff in front of Si Zhengting. Mi Nuo was now staring at Si Zhengting, her eyes bulging from shock. It was as if she had just gotten the biggest shock in the world.
Her prior look of elation didn’t have enough time to disappear, and it was now frozen on her face. Elation and shock now mixed themselves on her face, causing it to look a little twisted.
Mi Nuo opened her mouth as if to say something. But she was speechless, and she turned to look at Zhuang Nainai.
Her gaze sharpened immediately, and her sadness morphed into hatred and anger.
She gritted her teeth, and her fists, now balled, were on either side of her. It was only then that she said to Si Zhengting, “Mr. Si, are you saying this because Zhuang Nainai is in front of you?”
“She’s pregnant with your child, and you shouldn’t be accepting professions of love from other women. I’m sorry; it’s my fault.”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
This Mi Nuo was truly remarkable. Things had already gotten to such a stage, but she was still able to find a way out for herself without making herself look bad.
Mi Nuo pursed her lips. Before she could say anything more, Si Zhengting stood up impatiently. “Now that you’re done with what you have to say, you can get out.”
Mi Nuo made halting sounds, seemingly wanting to say something more. Eventually, she gazed deeply at Zhuang Nainai for a few moments before retracting her gaze. “Mr. Si, I…”
“Ji Chen,” Si Zhengting called.
Ji Chen immediately came in with two bodyguards, and the two of them headed toward Mi Nuo.
At the sight of them, Mi Nuo bit her lips and said, “I don’t need you to bring me out. I can walk out by myself!”
With that, she shot a final glance at Zhuang Nainai and turned away.
Her back was straight, and Zhuang Nainai couldn’t resist sticking her tongue out at her. If one didn’t know about what had just happened, it would seem as if Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting were the ones bullying Mi Nuo!
