Chapter 515: There's Been News of Mother Zhuang! (8)

It was so easy to get things done with the Internet.

Zhuang Nainai keyed in the details of Beijing’s airport, then entered the name of random cities in America. No matter which city she chose, the system showed that there were zero available tickets!

Even all the seats in the first class were sold out!

How could this be?!

She lowered her head, depressed. She refreshed the page but didn’t see anyone refunding their ticket.

She started a web search about this unlikely situation. There was a whole discussion on the Internet about all these flight tickets being booked.

Every single airline in Beijing that was bound for America had their flight tickets fully booked! This was beyond strange!

There were even calls from netizens asking airline companies to check if there was something wrong with their systems.

Zhuang Nainai felt as though she was going crazy. How could this be?

If this was really the case, how would she be able to look for her mother?

She was so anxious that she paced around the room, then she turned back and saw Si Zhengting staring at her from somewhere near the entrance. “What are you doing?”

His gaze was directed at her laptop.

Zhuang Nainai was rooted to the ground in shock. Her instinctual reaction was to rush over to her laptop and to close the browser window. If he had seen her conducting a search on the Internet, would he interpret it as her mistrusting him and choosing to conduct her own search about the flight tickets on the Internet? He wouldn’t be happy about that, would he?

It would be similar to what she felt when she had been misunderstood and when he had not trusted her.

But just as she was about to make a move, Si Zhengting said sternly, “Don’t rush over!”

Zhuang Nainai halted in her footsteps. It was only then that she remembered that she was pregnant. How could she have thought of doing something so dangerous?

But as her footsteps slowed, he walked over hurriedly and held on to her elbow. He looked at her, his gaze worried. It was only after he had confirmed that she was well that he looked at her laptop, then saw that the browser window was on the flight-booking page!

Si Zhengting’s eyes narrowed; his brows furrowed slightly.

Zhuang Nainai hurriedly explained, “I, that…”

As she was anxious, she didn’t quite know how to explain herself. She cautiously sized him up, trying to anticipate his next move.

Si Zhengting lowered his eyes. Then, it was as though he hadn’t seen the page — he helped her to the sofa, then handed the laptop over to her. “I’ve been trying to inquire into available flights in the neighboring cities. I’ll get a reply soon, don’t worry.”

After saying this, Si Zhengting pursed his lips and brought a glass of water over to her. Then, he left the room silently.

Staring at his retreating silhouette, Zhuang Nainai sighed. The harmonious air about them both, which had been brought back with much difficulty, seemed to have dissipated again.

But… this wasn’t the time to feel sad. As she thought of what a dangerous predicament Mother Zhuang was in, she wondered why she was wasting her time on thinking about her romantic relationship.

Zhuang Nainai lowered her eyes, then started posting on forums, indicating her desire to buy plane tickets for a handsome price.

She waited for a moment but received no response. Zhuang Nainai bit her lips. She could only wait for Si Zhengting to bring more news.

Her phone suddenly rang. She saw the name on the display: Li Yufeng.

She didn’t want to answer the call but suddenly recalled what had happened that day when she was discharged from the hospital.

Li Yufeng was indeed not a good mother. She had even hurled insults at Zhuang Nainai. However, in crucial moments, she could tell that Li Yufeng did care about her — after all, Zhuang Nainai was her biological child.

Thus, Zhuang Nainai picked up her call.

Li Yufeng’s voice was anxious. “Nainai, don’t fret, your father is already on his way to Kentucky. It’ll be fine once he gets there. Wait at home for the good news. Also, tell Mr. Si to rest assured.”

Tell Mr. Si to rest assured?

What did that mean?
