But he never thought that she would account for her actions so honestly.
Si Zhengting was unused to her candor; thus, he was rendered speechless.
Upon seeing his reaction, Zhuang Nainai thought that Si Zhengting was unwilling to lend her the money.
But she knew that her request had been a tad too unreasonable.
She had never earned a single sent for this household. However, she had requested for a loan from him solely on the basis that she was his wife?


Zhuang Nainai was uneasy. Would he feel that she had grown overly presumptuous and arrogant after being pampered by him?
She should forget about being loaned this $8,000,000 by him and think of another plan!
If she really couldn’t think of another plan, she would ask Gu Deshou for a loan!
As she thought of this, Zhuang Nainai smiled and lifted her head. She was about to speak when she saw Si Zhengting standing up. He said,
Let’s eat.

Zhuang Nainai:
…

So is this an agreement to loan me the money? Make your intentions clear!

After he invited Zhuang Nainai to eat, Si Zhengting walked toward his door. He was already beyond the threshold of the door when he turned and looked at Zhuang Nainai. His face was expressionless as he asked,
Are you not coming?

Zhuang Nainai followed him immediately with a skip in her step, beaming in an attempt to charm him.
Si Zhengting walked in front of Zhuang Nainai, a haughty expression on his face. On the other hand, Zhuang Nainai was tailing behind him, a pandering expression on her face. In their current state, Zhuang Nainai dazedly felt as though they had turned back time and returned to the time when they were still high school students.
No matter whether it was five years ago or five years later, except for the time when she broke up with him, it seemed as though she was on the losing end of their relationship all the time, didn’t it?


Even the butler was also surprised when he saw them.
This morning, Madam was still as courteous and respectful toward Sir as though she were a guest. How did her anger toward Sir suddenly dissipate within such a short period of time? Moreover, how had she become so eager to please Sir?
He was initially worried that Sir was too arrogant, too inexperienced in love, and too incompetent at maintaining a relationship with his wife, but now… Tsk tsk, Sir was actually an expert! His way of managing his wife was too amazing!
Just as the couple sat down at the dining table, they heard the sound of someone moving about. Si Jingyu was home.
After returning home, Zhuang Nainai had learned that Ding Mengya had moved out of the house while the former was hospitalized. Due to her guilt, Zhuang Nainai had called the butler to ask for updates on the situation, but Ding Mengya did not return.
On the other hand, it was as though Si Jingyu had grown roots in the house – she went to work and got off work at the same time every day.
As she entered the house, she immediately smiled, her eyes crinkling at the edges. She said dramatically,
Aiyo, the dishes smell amazing!

After she finished speaking, she changed into slippers, rolled up her sleeves, and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
In the dining room, the housekeeper hurriedly served another bowl of rice.
Si Jingyu sat down comfortably, then glanced at Zhuang Nainai.
Hm, you look a lot better today. It seems like you’re almost fully well! I can rest assured, then.



In the past few days, Zhuang Nainai had grown a lot closer to Si Jingyu. Hearing this, Zhuang Nainai smiled.
After the three were done with dinner, Zhuang Nainai tailed behind Si Zhengting and they headed for the stairs.
Si Zhengting saw that this woman had the growing inclination of sticking close to him like gum. He sighed and decided to head for the master bedroom instead of the study room.
He had not slept in the master bedroom for quite a few days. Hence, Zhuang Nainai was both overjoyed and agitated when she saw him heading for it.
After she married him, she had really wanted to get along well with him. Even when he had used the bank card to humiliate her, she had never thought of leaving him.
And in a husband-and-wife relationship, the scariest thing that could happen was living separately.
He was so disagreeable and arrogant that Zhuang Nainai had no idea how to placate him and convince him to return to the master bedroom. Now that he had willingly returned, didn’t that mean that their relationship was mended?
