Although Si Zhengting’s gaze was cold and distant, Mi Nuo felt a coldness creeping up from the depths of her heart and seeping into her bones.
And Ji Chen’s expression was even worse. He was standing behind Si Zhengting, and he waved his hands furiously as he looked at Mi Nuo. It was as though he was saying: Hey, I’ve already told you that she’s Mrs. Si, why are you treating her as you would any other person?

The employees in the surrounding area had their heads lowered. They were gathered outside, their ears straining to pick up any sound.
Mi Nuo was at a loss as to what to do. She was standing beside the door. She could not enter the room, nor could she retreat from her current position. The words that she had been prepared to say were caught in her throat. She wanted to say them out loud, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so.
As Zhuang Nainai heard what Mi Nuo had to say from the office, she smirked. She walked to the doorway where Mi Nuo was standing and was about to rebut Mi Nuo sarcastically when she suddenly saw Si Zhengting and Ji Chen.


At that moment, the words she was about to utter were lodged in her throat.
Ji Chen coughed and broke the awkward silence. He turned around and glanced at the people surrounding them, waving his hands about as he said,
What are you all doing, standing around like this? Is there nothing to be done? Hurry back to your own work stations!

Dear heavens, if everyone offended Madam without knowing her true identity and Sir were to take offense, would he fire everyone in the company?

If that were to happen, only the leader of the Imperial Group would remain — its employees would no longer be there. What was the point of it?

Everyone immediately lowered their heads. They wanted to leave but could not bring themselves to do so as they wanted to be party to the exciting events about to unfold.
As Zhuang Nainai observed how torn the employees seemed, the corners of her lips turned up in a smirk. She wanted to laugh out loud but she couldn’t do it.
Her gaze swept past Mi Nuo and landed on Si Zhengting.
They had not met for two days since she had brought up the topic of a divorce.
But this time around, her design drafts would prove her innocence.
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists. At this moment in time, she actually felt nervous.


She thought that Si Zhengting would approach her, but she never would have thought that…
When the employees outside had dispersed, he coolly glanced at Mi Nuo and said,
The design drafts.

Mi Nuo was stunned.
Zhuang Nainai was stunned.
Whilst they were both stunned, Ji Chen had walked into the office and retrieved the USB flash drive before handing it over to Si Zhengting.
And Si Zhengting left without even glancing at Zhuang Nainai.
It was only sometime after both Si Zhengting and Ji Chen had left that Zhuang Nainai snapped back to her senses. Damn! Was that the end of this matter?! She hadn’t managed to get rid of the suspicion surrounding her yet!
It couldn’t be that he was angry and petty because she had brought up getting a divorce, thus he had decided to let her tarnished reputation in the design industry remain, right?!
Zhuang Nainai was depressed over his strange actions. She was about to chase after him but Mi Nuo grabbed her arm as she stepped outside the door.
Zhuang Nainai turned around and saw the smile on Mi Nuo’s face.


Li Li had already left. They had not recruited the new supervising secretary of the design department yet, so the entire doorway was empty and silent.
Mi Nuo spoke,
Zhuang Nainai, do you know… how comical your actions are?

Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes.
What are you trying to say?

Mi Nuo lowered her head and toyed with her watch, then she lifted her head and smiled as she addressed Zhuang Nainai,
Actually, no matter whether your design drafts are going to be accepted by the company, they are still going to suspect you as the person who stole the design drafts.

Zhuang Nainai was taken aback.
What do you mean by that?

Mi Nuo laughed.
I want to know just how you’re so naive! So what if you’ve proven that you actually have some talent in designing? Do you think that you won’t be a suspect simply because you don’t have a motive for stealing? Do you think that since you’ve proven yourself and Mr. Si trusts you, you’re no longer in trouble?
