Five years later, he was back to torment her.
Now, even the ground was bullying her?
Was she born just to be tormented?
Tears suddenly clouded her vision. She clenched her fists. She suddenly seemed to have noticed something and jerked her head up, meeting his deep gaze.
Zhuang Nainai’s entire body stiffened, and her mind was blank for a few seconds. When she snapped back to reality, her first reaction was to hide her face.


She shook her head vigorously, trying to curl up and hide. At that moment, she felt extremely embarrassed and wished with all her heart that she could burrow into a hole so that he would not see her in such a state.
They were worlds apart.
Her embarrassing state also made her feel ashamed, resentful, and hurt.
However, things did not go as she wished.
No matter how hard she tried to hide, lowering her head so that others could not see her face, she could still hear his footsteps approaching even over the cacophony of the crowd.
Finally, he stood before her haughtily.
Zhuang Nainai bit her lips. She could not hold back a bitter laugh.
She had already been so pathetic in front of him, why did he have to see her in such a state too?
She did not have to look at him to know that he would be livid. She was his wife. He would definitely feel embarrassed by how she had fallen on the ground in front of so many onlookers on a busy street.
The corners of her mouth curved into a smirk. Just as Zhuang Nainai was about to stand up again, there was a flash of darkness in front of her. She felt a pair of large, warm hands on her shoulders, which lifted her up horizontally without any hesitation.


Zhuang Nainai was speechless. She had never expected that someone who was so particular about cleanliness would carry her when her entire body was covered in filth.
His gentle, masculine scent was familiar to her, but this time, it caused a lump to form in her throat.
She never allowed others to bully her. If she had been working elsewhere and her boss had been going as overboard as Zhang Chaowen was today, she would have resigned without hesitation.
But this was the Imperial Group, Si Zhengting’s Imperial Group.
If any of her actions were out of line, he would find out.
Now, their relationship was like walking on thin ice.
She neither wanted nor dared to cause any trouble for him.
So she had to tolerate it, tolerate Zhang Chaowen’s bullying, tolerate his unreasonable requests, even if she was feeling unwell. She did not dare to defy him, as she did not want these matters to come to Si Zhengting’s attention.
But now, she could no longer hold back her emotions, especially when this expressionless man was so gentle in his actions toward her. She could no longer hold back her suppressed emotions.
She clenched her fists, tears pouring down her cheeks. She hurriedly turned her head sideways, hiding her face in Si Zhengting’s arm.


She did not even dare glance at Si Zhengting. This was probably his ultimate limit – holding her without complaint whilst she was covered in filth.
So she did not see the hurt in Si Zhengting’s eyes slowly morphing into monstrous fury.
There was an air of cold fury about him. His gaze landed on the takeaway boxes on the ground, and he suddenly recalled how Su Jinhui had once sent him a text, something about
as a newcomer to the office, one will definitely be on the receiving end of some grievances…

He did not think much of it when he saw the text. He thought that if he let Ji Chen manage her matters, everything would go smoothly. He thought that the worst possible thing that could happen was that she would be subjected to some sarcastic comments due to her lack of familiarity with the work. He never thought that he would see something like this!
Si Zhengting’s gaze hardened. Even if he were to hack to death the people who had tormented her, he would not be able to quell the wrath he felt blazing furiously in his chest!
