Chapter 76: You Can Pretend I Don

My goodness!

What a godsend!

The butler and the servants all felt the same relief.

However, just as all of them were casting Zhuang Nainai grateful and happy looks, they saw the petite figure dart upstairs in a rush.

“…”

Everyone was quiet.

Zhuang Nainai got to the entrance of the mansion and saw Si Zhengting’s majestic silver Maybach parked in the courtyard.

Si Zhengting was off work?

Zhuang Nainai tensed immediately. She sneaked to the front door and peered in.

” Splat! ”

The sound of the phone making contact with the floor shocked her and sent her heart into a wild frenzy.

Oh no!

Was Si Zhengting in a bad mood now?

Zhuang Nainai gulped with her huge eyes brimming with fear. Would he get mad at her if she walked in now?

But she had nowhere else to go to at this hour.

Si Zhengting’s mood had been so volatile since their reunion. Zhuang Nainai dared not enter the house.

While hesitating, she suddenly heard approaching footsteps at the door. Zhuang Nainai peered in again and, this time, she met Si Zhengting’s gloomy eyes.

Zhuang Nainai cursed internally and quickly looked down. She then darted up the stairs in a flash, keeping her body as close to the walls on the side as possible.

“I’m invisible, I’m invisible, please let Si Zhengting not notice me, let him hurry and leave the house!” she prayed.

However, her prayer was unanswered, and she was pulled back to the harsh reality. Zhuang Nainai was halfway up the stairs when she heard Si Zhengting’s menacing voice behind her. “ZHUANG. NAI. NAI!”

Zhuang Nainai timidly stopped and fought to keep herself in balance.

She tensed and slowly turned, realizing that all eyes were on her. She gave an awkward laugh and waved, “Erm, you can pretend that I don’t exist, please continue with whatever you are doing!”

“…”

Si Zhengting was wild with rage but did not know what to do with her. What did she want?

The butler was at a loss for words. He caught Si Zhengting’s unhappy and exasperated look and mused to himself, ‘What a match made in heaven! One cold on the outside and the other so unpredictable.’

The butler coughed and asked on behalf of his master, “Madam, why are you home so late?”

Zhuang Nainai took another sneaky step up the stairs and smiled at Si Zhengting. “The nearest bus stop is three kilometers away, there’s also a terrible jam, that’s why I’m back late.”

The butler was in disbelief. Was she kidding? Who would take the bus home to this wealthy residential area? Why didn’t she take a cab?

He took another glance at Si Zhengting’s stormy face and coughed again. “Then, Madam, where else did you go apart from your office today?”

Zhuang Nainai took another step and replied, “I-I went to take a look at my home.”

She stole a glance at Si Zhengting. She should be allowed to go home, shouldn’t she? But why was he in such a terrible mood?

The butler continued with his questioning, “Madam, where is your phone? Why can’t I get through to you?”
