Now, he was wearing the dress shirt, but… he was not wearing any pants.
Honestly, the shirt didn’t help to accentuate his figure much; instead, it made him feel more seductive – especially when he let his fringe down and it covered his entire forehead. If one ignored the formidable aura emitted by his figure and the indifferent expression on his face and only focused on how he looked like an obedient model student, he looked… like a
duck
wearing a tie.
Zhuang Nainai stared at him and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Si Zhengting arched an eyebrow.
Does it look bad on me?

Zhuang Nainai immediately shook her head.
No, it looks really good on you!



Si Zhengting acknowledged her remark. Being stared at by her like this made him feel a little uncomfortable. He tried to mask the discomfort by slotting his hands into his pockets, but just as he tried to do that, he remembered that he was not wearing any pants.
Hence, his hands paused in mid-air, then he tugged at the hem of his dress shirt.
Zhuang Nainai still felt like laughing. She heard him say,
Aren’t you going to help me take it off?

Zhuang Nainai was immediately annoyed. Are you an emperor or something? Why do you even need someone to help you take off your clothes?

Although she was annoyed with him internally, she still went over to help him with his clothes.
He was really tall, and Zhuang Nainai was shorter than him by a head. Hence, she had to tiptoe to undo the buttons on his shirt.
The shirt was very fitting. Once she put her hands on it and ran her hands down the fabric as she unbuttoned it, she found that there seemed to be little pulses of electricity buzzing along Si Zhengting’s body. Si Zhengting was so shocked by it that his body stiffened.
Zhuang Nainai’s heart was beating very quickly as well.
Although they were living as man and wife, they had not interacted much with each other under such intense circumstances and in such close proximity.
The strong scent of male hormones oozed from Si Zhengting’s body and wafted before Zhuang Nainai’s nose, making her more nervous.


When she unbuttoned the last button, Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to take a step back, a large, warm hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her straight into Si Zhengting’s embrace!
The searing heat emitting from his skin made Zhuang Nainai blush profusely!
She wanted to push him away, but once she tried to do so, he lifted her parallel to the floor. Then, after a slight rush of giddiness, he unexpectedly placed her on top of the cupboard in the cloak room!
Zhuang Nainai was so scared that she almost tried to jump off. But in the next second, she couldn’t see anything. He had brought his head down and locked lips with her.
As she had been drinking traditional Chinese medicine for the entire day, Si Zhengting could taste a faint trace of herbal medicine on her breath. However, as he kissed her passionately, the lingering taste grew more palatable.
Zhuang Nainai stopped struggling. His kiss was gentle and delicate, and she could feel his tender love for her in those moments.
This was the first time he had ever expressed the tender emotions he had for her in his interactions with her.
That faint sense that he was showing loving care for her made her heart surge with emotion. She could not help but wonder… did Si Zhengting actually have feelings for her too?
Even if he did not love her five years ago, perhaps in these five years, he had recognized her virtues and fallen in love with her.
Zhuang Nainai was momentarily overwhelmed as she felt extremely touched.


She felt dizzy – she was so immersed in his kiss and could not break free.
His love was elusive.
His heart was unfathomable and mysterious.
This had the unfortunate effect of preventing Zhuang Nainai from confessing her love for him when she had met him again. She was too afraid to do so.
At this moment in time, she could not hold back any longer.
This question had tormented her for the last five years. She had to find out the answer to her question!
Thus, seizing the chance during a short interval, she pushed his face away. She studied his face intently and asked,
Si Zhengting, did you ever love me?
