Hello, Heir

Chapter 438: He Really Loves Her (6)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Zhuang Nainai returned to the Si residence, Si Zhengting had already arrived. He was sitting in the living room and browsing through a magazine.

She felt a little unused to seeing him in such a relaxed state. His head was lowered, and she didn’t greet him, intending to go upstairs and rest.

In the next couple of days, it was as though they had progressed from lovers to strangers. When he was eating breakfast, she avoided him. She didn’t eat her breakfast in the Si residence but left early for the office. She would work overtime and return only at 10 pm. It was difficult for Si Zhengting to even get the chance to speak to her.

However, from that day onwards, she had not talked about the divorce. Si Zhengting felt faintly relieved by that.

On a Friday, on the top floor at the office...

Si Zhengting put down his documents. He raised his head and asked Ji Chen, “What’s Madam doing?”

In recent times, Ji Chen had had to answer this question over 10 times a day. Thus, he had taken to sending someone to track her every move. He immediately replied, “She’s discussing the design drafts with Department Head Su.”

The fountain pen in Si Zhengting’s hand paused for a moment. After a while, his eyes lowered.

Recently, Zhuang Nainai was always by Su Jinhui’s side. Su Jinhui was very skilled at making women feel happy around him, and he was also gentle. Many people in the office liked him.

As he considered this, Si Zhengting’s brows furrowed. He suddenly stood up, thought for a while, then walked downstairs.

In the elevator, Ji Chen asked, “Sir, regarding the design drafts...”

Ever since the conclusion of the matter, which took place during the 100th Year Anniversary Celebration, both he and Zhuang Nainai didn’t bring up the design drafts again. However, since Madam wasn’t a thief, why had TZ’s exclusive designs appeared in the Gu Corporation’s design drafts?

No matter how he looked at it, Mi Nuo had to have been involved in this. Although Mr. Si had no direct proof, Ji Chen knew that he was suspicious of her. If not, he would not have curbed her authority.

However, Ji Chen didn’t understand one thing. Since he knew that there was something fishy about Mi Nuo, why was Si Zhengting still keeping her around in the office as an employee?

“Has she been up to anything suspicious lately?” Si Zhengting asked.

Ji Chen lowered his head. “No, she hasn’t acted strangely. It seems like she has been dispirited and unhappy since she lost her authority.”

Si Zhengting nodded. “She doesn’t have any motive to frame Nainai.”

Nainai...

Wow, he was addressing her so affectionately.

Ji Chen felt his skin crawling, but Mr. Si had really gotten rid of all his reservations about speaking so affectionately of her. Ji Chen couldn’t help but think to himself, In the beginning, who was the person who treated her so coldly?

However, these complaints remained unsaid. Ji Chen tailed after Si Zhengting respectfully as the latter headed for the design department.

They saw Zhuang Nainai’s office from afar.

Even though he had not seen her in person, once he had seen her office, Si Zhengting’s gaze softened.

He took two steps forward and saw some colleagues pointing at her office. He furrowed his brows as he overheard their discussion.

“Look, see how compatible Leader Zhuang and Leader Su are!”

“Don’t try to couple them up like that! Don’t Leader Zhuang and Mr. Si have an ambiguous relationship going on?”

“I think they don’t! Whenever Leader Zhuang interacts with Mr. Si, she’s always business-like, but with Leader Su, she jokes around every now and then.”

As he heard what they said, Si Zhengting looked over at the two. He saw Su Jinhui saying something and Zhuang Nainai beaming in response.

Her smile was, as it always had been, like brilliant sunshine. However, as he looked at her in these moments, it was so glaring.
