Chapter 940: Mr. Si’s Jealousy (6)

She walked to the cots and watched her children as they slept silently, a sense of peace and calm forming in her.

Si Zhengting watched her from the doorway for a few moments. The motherly aura she had now was full of gentleness, and it warmed him.

Unable to stop himself, he fixed his eyes on the two children and a thought formed — that she had never been this gentle to him before.

Si Zhengting found it unbelievable that such a thought crossed his mind.

How much did he love her such that he was even jealous of his own children?

Dazed, Zhuang Nainai spent a few moments in the room. The children were fast asleep, and she had nothing to do but to keep recalling the figure that had been eating downstairs. She felt as if the entire atmosphere of the villa had been depressed by its presence.

Looking at the clock and realizing that it was already eight in the evening, she stood up and decided to leave earlier than usual.

She walked toward the door, and the moment she opened it, she was greeted with a large, imposing figure. Zhuang Nainai was stunned, and her heart tightened.

He had been strange the whole time, and the strangeness unsettled her. When her eyes met his, the resentment in his gaze made a sense of guilt well up in her heart.

Zhuang Nainai was about to say something, but the thought of what had happened the night before made her keep quiet. She no longer had any right to say anything to him.

The way he was standing in front of her made her sure that he already knew about the events of the night before.

So, was he about to tell her that they were going to break up once and for all?

She unconsciously clenched her fists, suddenly afraid of what he was about to say. Her heart convulsed in pain at the mere thought of him telling her that they were to break up.

Si Zhengting raised his brows at her, his expression hesitant. The words “I’m Xu Dazhi” stayed in his throat for a while before he decidedly swallowed them back.

Forget it. Since she seems to be alright, then I won’t tell her the truth and spoil my plans.

Zhuang Nainai had no way of deciphering his thoughts. The two of them were standing by the door, staring at each other in silence. But just when Zhuang Nainai felt as if she was no longer able to withstand the pressure of his stare, he suddenly withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

Oh?

Zhuang Nainai was utterly confused. He was walking away… just like that?

He was walking away without even saying a word?

Suddenly feeling an emptiness in her heart, she hurriedly shouted, “Si Zhengting!”

Si Zhengting paused and turned around. His cold expression shielded the deep fear in his heart.

What was she going to say?

Was she going to tell him that she had fallen in love with Xu Dazhi and thus no longer loved him?

He clenched his fists at the thought of this.

Or, perhaps, she was going to tell him that she had always loved him and nobody else?

Zhuang Nainai looked at him, suddenly at a loss for words.

Was she going to say that she had done no wrong and that he wasn’t supposed to mind?

Or was she going to say that she had done him wrong and that he should forgive her?

But once one was soiled like she was, there was nothing that could possibly reverse the damage done. If they ever got back together in the future, it would always be a thorn in his side, would it not?

At the thought of this, she suddenly felt as if they had nothing more to say to each other. Anything said would be futile.

She pursed her lips and met his questioning gaze. Finally thinking of something to say after a few moments, she asked, “Ding… How has your mother been? May I visit her?”
