Chapter 494: Loving You All This Time (4)

The four of them ate lunch at the Si residence. Zhuang Nainai stayed silent even after lunch — she had no idea what to do.

Everything Si Zhengting had done for her had been touching, and the knot in her heart regarding his misunderstanding of her had long disappeared.

But… could she really disregard Mother Zhuang and live with him happily from now on?

Just as she was struggling with her own thoughts, Si Zhengting got up and said, “Okay, I’ll send you back home.”

The moment he said this, Su Yanbin immediately shouted in reply, “Back? Back where? Is that little house even inhabitable? Now that Sister-in-law is pregnant, she can’t possibly go back there.”

Zhuang Nainai, however, had already stood up. Heaving a sigh of relief on the inside, she nodded and began making her way out.

Su Yanbin was ready to speak further, but Lin Xi’er grabbed his arm.

Su Yanbin turned around and glared at her. “What are you doing?”

Lin Xi’er furrowed her brows. “Who was the one who said I was unobservant? Can’t you tell that Nainai isn’t happy here?”

Watching Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting’s silhouettes, he waited a few moments before saying, “Hypocrite!”

Lin Xi’er couldn’t bear to hear this attack on Nainai. Putting her hands on her hips, she rebuked, “Who are you calling a hypocrite? Hmm? Why don’t you try putting yourself in her shoes? If your mother has gone missing because of your wife’s mother, and you don’t even know if your mother is dead or alive, will you really be able to live peacefully with your wife? You really don’t have a conscience, do you?”

Su Yanbin gave a cold grunt and ran after them.

Several cars started up their engines and began leaving the Si residence.

Zhuang Nainai had recently become fond of sleeping and had immediately fallen asleep once she had gotten into the car. By the time she woke up, she realized she was in a small neighborhood… but it wasn’t in Xibali village. It was…

Wasn’t this the neighborhood where the house she bought for Mother Zhuang was at?

To her astonishment, she was brought by Si Zhengting to a building.

Si Zhengting helped her down from the car, then got Su Yanbin to carry her belongings for her as they made their way upstairs.

Si Zhengting explained, “This house is under your mother’s name. The security in Xibali village is too poor, and it wasn’t that easy for you to conceive this child. It won’t be comfortable for you if you live over there. It’s much better over here.”

He had chosen an indirect method to get his way. He knew that Zhuang Nainai was surely unwilling to stay in another villa; after all, if she were to do so, it would be no different from staying over at the Si residence.

So, he had chosen this little neighborhood with a house that she had picked by herself. It was surely still comfortable living in this house.

Sure enough, Zhuang Nainai opened her mouth but didn’t refute his explanation.

Even if it wasn’t in her own interests to be comfortable, she knew she had to consider her child. It would be foolish to insist on staying at the small house with lousy walls that would let the chilly winds of winter in when she had a much better option in front of her.

This three-room apartment with bright lighting had an area of 100 square meters, and its North-South axis was a rare find in Beijing. When Si Zhengting finally opened the door to the apartment, Zhuang Nainai felt as if she had just walked into the wrong place.

The originally-empty house was now filled with furniture that felt a little familiar. It was the old furniture from the Si residence.

Si Zhengting had no need to explain such useless information, but Su Yanbin couldn’t resist himself. “Leader Ting, it’s not like you don’t have money! Why did you bring your old furniture over?”

Just as he said this, Lin Xi’er replied to him in a voice full of disdain, “Nainai’s pregnant, and the smell of new furniture isn’t good for her body! You don’t even know this?”
