Ding Mengya stood and said, “Alright, I’ve delivered the item and I shall head back now. I’ve got an early flight to catch.”

Zhuang Nainai had her guards still up and was wondering what Ding Mengya’s next move would be. She did not expect her to announce her leaving.

Zhuang Nainai was dumbstruck and decided to say nothing.

Si Zhengting looked at the time and replied, “It’s too late, sleep here tonight.”

His tone suggested that the decision was final.

Ding Mengya was about to say something, but she met Si Zhengting’s deep dark eyes and nodded.

He would think something was wrong if she insisted on returning.

Ding Mengya took another glance at Zhuang Nainai and yawned. “Alright, the priority for you youngsters now is to have a baby, I shall not disturb you here.”

She then took her bag and headed upstairs.

Ding Mengya stayed over here often; there was a fixed room here for her in the mansion.

Zhuang Nainai was still in a daze when Ding Mengya disappeared in the stairwell.

Where was the family drama?

Where was the big fight between mortal enemies?

She was prepared to fight for herself when she came downstairs, but Ding Mengya just left after saying a few insignificant things.

Zhuang Nainai was still in shock, but Si Zhengting had already stood up. “Sleeping time.”

Zhuang Nainai hugged the box and followed Si Zhengting upstairs. Si Zhengting looked at the box and was about to say something but stopped himself. He then undressed and headed into the bathroom.

Zhuang Nainai put the box down on the dressing table and hesitated for a long time before opening it out of curiosity.

It contained something that was wrapped up in a red velvet cloth.

This was definitely an antique, judging from the packaging.

The red velvet felt soft and nice in her hands.

Zhuang Nainai unwrapped the red fabric to reveal a light green jade bangle.

The bangle was delicate, smooth, and flawless.

But Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists tightly.

Why was Ding Mengya giving her a bangle?

She put the bangle back in the box and threw it in the pile of accessories that she rarely wore.

Having worked the entire day, Zhuang Nainai was exhausted. She took a quick shower and laid down on the bed. When Si Zhengting reached out to touch her, he saw that she was already sound asleep.

He sighed.

He let her off as she had been sick over the weekends. He had thought that they could get intimate tonight. But…

Si Zhengting laid down gloomily to sleep.

Zhuang Nainai had been running around the office photocopying doc.u.ments the whole day and barely had time to drink water. She was beyond thirsty in her sleep.

She struggled to swallow saliva down her parched throat.

She woke disoriented and got off the bed. Under the dim light of the bedside lamp, she grabbed a gla.s.s to fill some water but realized that the water in the bedroom was all gone.

Zhuang Nainai took her gla.s.s to the water dispenser outside the bedroom on the second floor.

She walked out unstably with closed eyes and got herself a gla.s.s of warm water. She took a big gulp and felt better immediately. Still incredibly sleepy, she made her way back to the bedroom to continue her sleep.

However, right then, the door next to her suddenly opened.

Ding Mengya was clad in a purple silk robe. She looked at her with clear eyes and said, “Zhuang Nainai, let’s talk.”
