Chapter 26 - I Don't Eat Breakfast
Chapter 26: I Don’t Eat Breakfast
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The employees of the Imperial Group rushed out to the entrance and stood in lines to welcome their boss.
The car came to a halt. Si Zhengting alighted. Zhuang Nainai, who had been half asleep minutes before, was instantly alert.
The man’s towering figure exuded an air of majesty and authority.
His face was, as always, expressionless. His cool nonchalance made it look like he cared for no one and nothing in the world.
The sun shone upon him, shrouding him in golden rays and heightening the mysterious and noble aura around him.
Si Zhengting looked down to check the time and slightly paused. His gaze swept surreptitiously across Zhuang Nainai before he strode into the building.
He is so… handsome!
Zhuang Nainai’s heart rate soared. He was even more charismatic and attractive than five years ago.
Clutching her breakfast bento, she rushed forward before he could enter the building.
“Mr. Si!”
Zhuang Nainai shouted, but Si Zhengting pretended not to hear and kept up his pace.
Zhuang Nainai panicked. She wanted to run to him, but the bodyguards stood in her way.
They were always in her way – Zhuang Nainai was beyond annoyed.
“Damn! Get out of my way!”
Zhuang Nainai ordered and slammed her body onto the two bodyguards.
She did not want to forsake her image the previous two times. But now, there’s no time to dither. What would happen to Mother if she did not get anything done?
Zhuang Nainai clenched her teeth. She refused to believe she could not make it through!
With one hand tightly clutching her bento box, she clawed the first bodyguard with her free hand and kicked the other in the crotch. Her moves shocked the executive assistant Ji Chen.
Wow.
Ms. Zhuang was indeed a tough lady!
Both bodyguards did not see that coming and moved away, emptying a space between them. Zhuang Nainai took her chance and charged forward.
The bodyguards were stunned and instinctively reached for her arm. However, they caught a strange look that Ji Chen cast them and loosened their grip.
Zhuang Nainai was struggling to get free when they suddenly let go. Unable to stop herself surge forward, she fell right into Si Zhengting’s arms under the gawking eyes of everyone around them.
Si Zhengting stopped in his tracks and looked at the girl in his arms. Her silky hair brushed across his face, and he was momentarily stunned.
The familiar manly vibes filled Zhuang Nainai’s mind, and she could think of nothing else.
After a short while, she finally snapped out of her daze and hurriedly took a step back. Blushing and feeling a little awkward, she gave a cough and arranged her face in a sweet smile. “Si Zhengting, look I’ve prepared a breakfast bento for…”
Before she could finish her sentence, he stepped back and his gaze rested on her head for a second. In a low emotionless voice, he said, “I don’t eat breakfast.”
He then rounded and walked past her.
Zhuang Nainai was confounded. Why did she sense a tinge of sadness in those words?
Coming back to her senses, she was about to give chase, but Si Zhengting’s bodyguards easily obstructed her way with one hand.
Splat!
The bento box in her hands fell to the ground, its contents spilling.
Zhuang Nainai froze.
I don’t care about what happened back then but Zhengting has nom right to humiliate Nainai. If he doesn’t want to marry her, clear it once and for all, so she realises that she doesn’t have to follow him loosing all her self respect. But we know he still like her so he should talk and clear things out. Still he shouldn’t treat Nainai without respect.

The heart-shaped egg was prepared with a runny yolk, just like how Si Zhengting liked it. It splattered when it fell on the ground and looked a little gross.
Crumbs fell off the delicious-looking diamond-shaped potato cakes that were fried a golden brown.
The pieces of banana painstakingly arranged into flower petals were also all over the floor.
Zhuang Nainai looked at the hours of her hardwork and felt her heart tighten and her chest become stuffy.
Her eyes grew red. A lump formed in her throat. She could not bring herself to say what she wanted to say. She bit her lips and fought to not let her tears fall.
Zhuang Nainai bent down and tried to pick up the mess, but she did not know how.
In her heart, she cursed Si Zhengting relentlessly. What a jerk! I would never make you breakfast again!
Having let off some steam, she felt a bit better and let out a sigh.
Forget it, why get angry over this?
He was this cold and unfeeling five years back, but didn’t she conquer him in the end?
She just needed to continue working on it now!
Zhuang Nainai refueled her fighting spirit at this thought.
Si Zhengting heard the commotion and turned to see the contents of the bento box on the ground. His eyes darkened, and familiar scenes of five years ago flashed across his mind.
Back then, she did the same, waking up early to prepare him breakfast day after day. He got used to only eating what she prepared. But then, she left.
After five years of going without breakfast, he developed his gastric problem.
What was she trying to do now?
Trying to bring back his memories of their youth now that she had a use for him?
Si Zhengting clenched his fists and looked at Zhuang Nainai.
The sorrow and disappointment on her face extinguished all his fury.
Such was her charm; it was one that can easily kindle the flames of wrath in him, and then, just as easily, smother the flames.
So… if she was so downcast now, was she also reminded of their beautiful time together? Was she regretting the breakup?
A flicker of light danced across Si Zhengting’s cool eyes. He was about to say something when he saw Zhuang Nainai suddenly stand, her misery and anguish gone. She broke into a sweet smile and said, “Look Si Zhengting, isn’t it a pity that all these food that you loved went to waste? If you marry me, you can eat them every day! Isn’t that great?”
Her voice was listless and soft, but Si Zhengting’s dancing gaze was instantly back to being harsh and cold.
His pitch-black eyes were now burning with rage.
He did not understand his feelings. He walked coolly past her without another glance on the ground.
Zhuang Nainai struggled to contain her anger.
She did not let her temper get the better of her and said such kind words to placate him. Her actions over these two days would be enough to melt a heart of stone.
But this man… how could he be so heartless!
Zhuang Nainai watched him leave and shook in rage. She wanted to go after him, but the bodyguards were alert and on guard. “Ms. Zhuang, please don’t force us.”
