Teacher Sun was stunned. She had looked at Mother Zhuang and swallowed hard before asking, “Well, Nainai’s mother, do you not see the problem?”
Mother appeared puzzled. “What problem?”
“Zhuang Nainai is still young and very immature, but she wants to be in a romantic relations.h.i.+p at so early an age!”
Mother looked even more surprised. “She’s already sixteen! It’s not early at all! People come of age at fifteen in other countries.”
Teacher Sun was speechless.
Mother pondered for a while and looked at Zhuang Nainai. “Nainai, do you really like this Si Zhengting boy?”
Teacher Sun brightened at this, thinking that perhaps Mother Zhuang had an alternative teaching style in mind for educating her child. For instance, asking her to study well and attain a certain grade in her studies before allowing her to chase after boys.
Zhuang Nainai replied, “Yes, Mother.”
Mother Zhuang nodded and continued, “You must be careful in love. If you do get that boy, bring him home to meet me!”
Zhuang Nainai laughed and rea.s.sured, “Don’t worry, Mother. Don’t you trust your daughter’s taste in men?”
Her mother had agreed, “Yes, that’s true, no ordinary boy can catch my Nainai’s eye!”
Teacher Sun was speechless.
Was this mother actually supportive of her daughter falling in love so early?
Zhuang Nainai had felt nothing wrong back then, but thinking back on it now, her mother’s education was really different and remarkable.
She had employed a special teaching method which made Zhuang Nainai feel that learning was fun and not a ch.o.r.e.
Even though they had to endure the hards.h.i.+ps of poverty, the mother and daughter pair were happy.
How could a mother like this possibly be a child thief? She loved and respected her mother dearly.
So… what’s the matter with that DNA paternity test results?
She did not believe and cannot believe it.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes darkened at this thought. She sighed and closed the exercise book.
Her eyes glossed over the page on the exercise book just then and she quickly flipped back to the page. There it was, her second dream years ago.
A princess bed?
Zhuang Nainai was dazed.
The three-by-three-meter princess bed that stood out from the general room decor flashed through her mind.
Zhuang Nainai felt a bell ring in her mind and she quickly read her essay.
It was in high school eight years ago, she could not remember the details, but having re-read the essay…
European style, three by three meters, white mesh net…
A layer of thin mist formed in Zhuang Nainai’s eyes. She stood up abruptly as she drew the link in her mind.
Was that bed prepared for her?
A wave of excitement washed over her and every cell in her body felt invigorated.
She threw down the exercise book and hastily sealed the box again before rus.h.i.+ng out of the house.
She had to ask Si Zhengting if he had liked her before. And if so, did he still like her now?

It was 6 pm at the Imperial Group building.
In the top executive suite of the office, the secretaries and employees were still deep in work. They were used to working overtime.
Executive a.s.sistant Ji Chen handed Si Zhengting a doc.u.ment for him to review and sign.
Si Zhengting penned his name in one and Ji Chen handed over another. “Sir, this is…”
He was mid-sentence when he noticed Si Zhengting look up at the clock on the wall.
The second hand ticked by, the clock chimed when it crossed number twelve, announcing that it was 6 pm.
Si Zhengting threw down his pen and stood up. “Off work.”
Ji Chen was dumbstruck.
