Si Zhengting was still expressionless. Zhuang Nainai felt strangely guilty upon seeing his expression. She coughed, wanting to explain herself. Then she heard him say, “Alright.”

A flash of euphoria raced across Zhuang Nainai’s heart. She jerked her head up, and he continued, “But…”

Zhuang Nainai’s heart lurched. “But what?”

“How are you going to return the money to me?”

Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt as though she was about to cough up a puddle of blood. How to return the money? By selling her body?

She was his wife. When they were both in the mood for some intimacy, he wasn’t the only person who benefited from it…

Zhuang Nainai’s gaze flickered and she said with a giggle, “My pay is credited to that card, and anyway, we’re husband and wife! We shouldn’t divide our finances so precisely!”

Si Zhengting continued teasingly, “You earn $8,000 every month, and I’ll round it up to $100,000 annually. You’ll need 100 years to accumulate $10,000,000, then, right?”

Zhuang Nainai replied with righteous indignation, “You can’t say that. See, I’m giving you everything I have whereas you’re only giving me a mere fraction of what you have. So in fact, I’m on the losing end here…”

Again, Si Zhengting did not know what to say.

He had long known that she had a way with words, but he didn’t expect her to be so good at debating with others.

One could describe her as intelligent, but at times, she could be slow to understand things. One could accurately say that she was stupid, but in some aspects, she was indeed pretty shrewd.

Furthermore…

“I’m giving you everything I have.”

Everything…

Si Zhengting’s mood suddenly lightened considerably. He reached out and stroked her head. “I’ll give it to you tomorrow.”

After her long speech, Zhuang Nainai was on high alert, prepared to rebuke any rebuttal that Si Zhengting might come up with. She was wholly unprepared to respond to what he had said as a result and, thus, didn’t respond in the slightest. It was only after he stroked her head that she registered the additional warmth that his palm brought to her head and reacted to what he had said.

Zhuang Nainai was immediately ecstatic. She hugged him and cried, “Hubby, you’re really great!”

Upon hearing her call him “Hubby,” Si Zhengting’s body lurched.

His gaze grew deeper as he stared at the jubilant woman. Finally, he sighed, then lay down calmly on the bed. He said coolly, “Sleep.”

The night passed without any dreams.

The next morning, Zhuang Nainai opened her eyes when the sunrays shone into the room.

She turned her head and saw that Si Zhengting was already sitting up on his side of the bed and reading a magazine. She rubbed her eyes and started gossiping with Si Zhengting, “Sister left last night and didn’t return to the house. Has she made up with Brother-in-law?”

After he heard this, Si Zhengting’s eyes narrowed. He decided to tell Zhuang Nainai the truth after seeing how she was so concerned for his sister. He told her, “I think not.”

After he finished speaking, he picked up his phone and passed it to her.

Si Jingyu’s text message was on the display. “Zhengting: I’ve settled the design drafts a long time ago. I’m off to enjoy myself, don’t look for me.”

This…

Zhuang Nainai was wide awake immediately. She quickly searched for Si Jingyu’s number. Just as she was about to call Si Jingyu to ask her about what had happened, Si Zhengting interrupted, “It’s no use. You won’t be able to contact her for the next two months unless she decides to initiate contact first.”

Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

What on earth had happened?

Upon observing how Si Zhengting seemed to be calm about this entire matter, Zhuang Nainai deduced that this behavior from Si Jingyu was normal and that Si Jingyu would keep herself safe. Zhuang Nainai sighed.

At that moment, she was only worried for Si Jingyu’s sake. She had never considered how Si Jingyu’s disappearance would bring her so much trouble.
