Chapter 18: Don’t Flatter Yourself!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Even though it felt good to watch the enemy receiving what they deserved, Zhuang Nainai could not help feeling uneasy.

A layer of cold sweat formed on her back.

She furtively looked up and peered at Si Zhengting at the dining table.

In contrast to five years ago, nothing much had changed, apart from his sharpened jawline and his even more reserved character.

However, the ruthlessness and cruelty he displayed had startled and frightened Zhuang Nainai.

The father and daughter did not mess with him. They were in fact on their toes all the while, striving to please him. Look at the result of that! Recalling her annoying antics during the day, it was nothing short of a miracle to still be standing there unharmed.

Zhuang Nainai froze at this thought.

The mood in the room became even more weighed down after Boss Huang and Huang Xiao’ai made their witless escape.

All eyes fell on Si Zhengting, and then on Zhuang Nainai. Su Yanbing let out a sigh. Zhuang Nainai is the only reason why the always stolid and composed Si Zhengting would ever lose his cool.

Si Zhengting sat by the table and could not hear any movements from Zhuang Nainai. He cast her a peripheral glance and caught her watching him in a daze.

Her empty eyes betrayed a hint of fear. Her look made him inexplicably flustered. He loosened the tie around his neck restlessly and turned to Zhuang Nainai. “Don’t flatter yourself, I just can’t stand her being so noisy.”

His words stunned Zhuang Nainai once more.

Flatter herself?

He thought… that she would think that he still liked her? And therefore took on Boss Huang and his daughter?

She knew it wasn’t like that and did not need his reminder.

Five years ago he… let alone now…

Zhuang Nainai dropped her gaze. Keeping her face black, she replied, “I know, I didn’t think that way.”

Her reply only made Si Zhengting instantly more ruffled.

Su Yanbing rubbed his forehead, helplessly watching both of them in a trance. It was so painfully obvious that Si Zhengting did not forget one bit about Zhuang Nainai and still loved her, what was the point in covering it up?

Additionally, how could the usually clever Zhuang Nainai completely miss that?

Moreover, Si Zhengting underwent such major transformation over these years due to Zhuang Nainai, yet she appeared as if the breakup made no impact on her.

This sudden realization displeased Su Yanbing. How could this girl be so heartless?

Zhuang Nainai certainly deserved a thrashing. Su Yanbing took a quick glance at Si Zhengting’s face and laughed. “Zhuang Nainai, don’t expect our Leader to have any feelings left for you, and please stop trying to hit on him. Tell you what, he is about to marry his fiancée whom he’s madly in love with! And do you know who his fiancée is? Well, you must have known from before, the missing Gu family girl! They found her just recently! You haven’t met her, but she is an exquisite beauty, with long legs that stretch on and on. You can’t ever match up to her! Rest assured, you will receive a wedding invitation. Then you will get to witness how the big families do it, celebrating such romantic affairs. It will be the wedding of the century!”
