Ding Mengya could not sleep after Zhuang Nainai left her room.
She laid in bed and stared at the ceiling, frowning at the thought of Zhuang Nainai’s expression.
Ding Mengya got up and knocked on butler Lee’s door downstairs.
The butler slept lightly. He opened his door to find Ding Mengya in her nightgown and immediately blushed. Keeping his head down, he respectfully greeted,
Ma’am.
Ding Mengya nodded casually.
I want to talk to you about something.
Please give me a second.
Ding Mengya pointed to the balcony next to them and walked over.
There were two wooden chairs on the balcony. Ding Mengya sat there and looked up at the night sky.
It was a rare clear night in Beijing, one could even make out a few stars in the sky.
After a short while, the butler had changed and was in his everyday attire. He walked over respectfully.
Ma’am, please continue.
Ding Mengya pointed at the chair for the butler to sit down before relating to him her conversation with Zhuang Nainai. She sighed.
The child is very defensive, her words are filled with hatred. Take note for me, don’t let her hurt Zhengting again.
The butler nodded.
Ding Mengya continued with her instructions,
Zhengting had used the marriage pact with the Gu family as an excuse to not marry anyone else all these years. Gu Deshou is a greedy man, if he had found any other girl, Zhengting would not have cared. But that girl had to be Zhuang Nainai. I always felt that this is not a coincidence.
The butler paused.
Ma’am, you mean…
Ding Mengya smiled.
It’s nothing, I can guess at Gu Deshou’s intentions. He just wants to elevate his status from the marriage. He’s of no threat to the Imperial Group. What I’m worried about… is Zhuang Nainai’s intentions. I’m worried that she might hurt Zhengting again.
Ma’am, I understand now.
Lee, thank you.
The butler smiled and looked at Ding Mengya. He hesitated before asking,
Ma’am, it was Madam who could not take the temptation five years ago, you did nothing wrong. Why don’t you let Madam tell Sir about it?
Ding Mengya’s face fell. She looked up at the sky and replied,
Because, if Zhengting found out the real reason for their breakup, he will be even more sad.
The butler sighed.
The atmosphere around them grew heavy. After a while, Ding Mengya suddenly stood up and slapped the butler on his shoulder with a smile.
Alright, Lee, I can leave in peace now, I’m entrusting this difficult task to you.
The butler nodded helplessly.
Got it, Ma’am.
I’ll bring back a blow-up doll for you if you do well!
The butler was dumbstruck.
Zhuang Nainai returned to her bedroom in the middle of the night. She laid down on her bed and could not fall asleep again.
The scenes from five years ago flashed across her mind.
She clenched her fists tightly.
She should feel thankful towards Ding Mengya, for she had taught her about the hardship and helplessness in life and shown her how dirty the rich families were.
Her lips twitched mockingly. She sighed and turned in bed.
She was deep in thought when the blanket was lifted off her. A hot body pressed down on top of her.
A low husky voice sounded in her ears.
Zhuang Nainai, you can’t sleep because… you are not tired enough.
