Si Zhengting raised his brows. A look of resignation appeared on his usually expressionless face.

He placed the phone next to his ears, and a gentle lady’s voice sounded from it. “Mr. Si, I’m making a strawberry cake tomorrow, shall we meet?”

Si Zhengting’s lips gave an inconspicuous twitch, and he gave a soft grunt of acceptance.

The speaker on the other end continued, “Then I’ll see you at 10 tomorrow morning!”

Si Zhengting grunted again softly.

The other speaker sighed. “I say, son, will saying two more words hurt you?”

Si Zhengting replied, “Okay, got it.”

Mrs. Ding did not know what to say. She did get two more words from him…

She gave another sigh. “Bring her home tomorrow, you can’t hide her forever. Even if she’s hideous-looking, she would have to meet her mother-in-law sooner or later.”

Si Zhengting gave another grunt and replied, “She’s not ugly.”

Mrs. Ding sighed and continued, “Great. What does she like to eat? I will prepare something for you two.”

She meant it as a rhetorical question, but Si Zhengting started answering it very seriously. “Chicken wings, sweet and sour pork, meatb.a.l.l.s… she’s a meat lover.”

Mrs. Ding was surprised.

With a hint of jealousy in her tone, she commented, “I see you already dote on your wife more than on your mother. You probably don’t even know what I like to eat! Also, you probably have not had dinner. You have a weak stomach, remember to eat on time, okay?”

“I know.”

They exchanged a couple more advices and okays before Si Zhengting hung up the phone. He suddenly recalled that Zhuang Nainai did not eat much during lunch. She must be famished by now.

Si Zhengting looked up at Ji Chen and instructed, “Order a takeout dinner for everyone working overtime at the office.”

“Yes… Sir.”

Zhuang Nainai was exhausted and ravenous by then. Her brain had shut off, and her movements were mechanical.

She had just loaded a doc.u.ment into the photocopier when she heard loud cheering from the outside, something about Mr. Si’s generosity. Her mind wondered for a second, and her hand slammed down the top of the machine, right on top of her other hand feeding the doc.u.ments.

“Ouch!” Zhuang Nainai hissed in pain and immediately stuck her fingers into her mouth. She examined her injured fingers after a while and noticed a large blood blister swelling up.

The pain drew tears in her eyes, and she held onto her fingers tightly for a long time to wait for the pain to subside.

She felt as if her whole finger was numb. But she still had to finish the photocopying!

She endured the pain and got back to work. She was smelling the faint fragrance of dinner before she finally finished the photocopying and walked out of the printing room.

The entire design team was working overtime. Zhuang Nainai saw them all gathered and eating at a table.

One of them waved her over. “Zhuang Nainai, Mr. Si is treating everyone who’s working overtime to food from Ju De Restaurant today! Lucky for you on your first day at work! Quick, come see what set meal you got!”

The person then walked up to Zhuang Nainai’s desk and opened her packed meal.

She was blown away by the scrumptious spread in the box.

She looked down again at her own ordinary set meal and exclaimed, “Zhuang Nainai, why is your set meal so different from ours?”
