In a moment, the entire cafeteria fell silent.
Everyone stared at Si Zhengting in disbelief. Who would have thought that Mr. Si would… actually eat in the cafeteria?
Everyone’s first reaction when they snapped back to their senses was to stand and gaze at him respectfully.

Hello, Mr. Si.
A brave soul had spoken up, and the rest of the employees echoed in unison.
Mr. Si nodded curtly at his subordinates, then his gaze landed on the altercation in front of him. His deep and dark eyes were fixed on Li Li’s vice-like grip on Zhuang Nainai’s wrist. A glimmer of anger flashed past the depths of his eyes.


Ji Chen poked his head out from behind Si Zhengting. He chastised,
What do you think you’re doing? Let go of her.

Li Li hurriedly let go of Zhuang Nainai.
Zhuang Nainai stood rooted to the ground.
She didn’t know what she was thinking at the moment. This was… the first time she had seen Si Zhengting since the last time they had argued.
She hadn’t seen him for only two days. However, he had lost a lot of weight. His cheekbones and the profile of his face were more prominent and defined, and they juxtaposed his deep and dark eyes.
Their gazes met.
In those moments, a rush of sadness engulfed Zhuang Nainai. Her eyes turned red, and her throat was tight. She took a deep breath, and the strong scent of the vegetable soup permeated her nostrils.
It was only then that she realized that in the scuffle with Li Li, the vegetable soup had gotten onto her clothes as well.
At that moment, she suddenly felt strangely embarrassed. She wished that she could find a hole to bury into.
Zhuang Nainai bit her lips and decisively broke eye contact with Si Zhengting. She glared at the remains of her lunch, which were all over the floor. Although she wasn’t looking at him, she could feel the weight of his cold gaze as he looked at her and eventually as he looked away. Then, she heard his footsteps approaching.


Zhuang Nainai was standing on the passageway in the cafeteria, and she was facing Si Zhengting.
And Si Zhengting needed to cut across the passageway to get to the private room in the cafeteria, which was specially reserved for the upper echelons of management to have his lunch.
Zhuang Nainai lowered her head and didn’t dare to move, but she could hear his footsteps slowly approaching.
Then, his leather shoes came within her line of vision. Next, she saw his long and elegant legs.
They were approaching, and soon enough, he was standing by her side.
Zhuang Nainai’s heart strangely lifted. Her hands were by her sides, and she clenched them subconsciously. Even though she had made up her mind to leave him; even though she told herself that they were even and that she no longer had to accede to his whims and fancies in order to further Mother Zhuang’s or the Gu family’s interests, once he stood before her, she could not help but feel anxious as her heartbeat raced.
She was such a good for nothing!
Zhuang Nainai scolded herself internally, then couldn’t help but think, was he happy seeing her in this state?
She bit her lips. She thought that he would say something humiliating in her ear as he walked past, but she was wrong.
He did not stop walking.


He didn’t falter in his footsteps. Instead, he maintained the same speed as he continued walking.
He headed straight for his destination without even looking at her as he walked past her.
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
Zhuang Nainai wasn’t sure about what she was feeling in that instant. She felt empty, but also a little depressed. There was also a tinge of an inexplicably complex feeling that she could not quite put her finger on.
She heard the footsteps behind her slowly getting further away. Then, she heard the door of the private room opening and, eventually, she heard it close.
The door completely isolated the two of them from each other.
