Chapter 183: What Happened at the Gu’s?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhuang Nainai started to eat immediately when the dishes were served.
After taking a bite, she suddenly seemed to remember something. She stole a cautious glance at Si Zhengting and slowed her pace.
Zhuang Nainai had almost tasted every dish before realizing that Si Zhengting had not moved his chopsticks.
She blinked in confusion.
Were they not here because he was hungry? Why was he not eating?
He had always kept a proud and sullen front. She could never figure out what he was thinking. She picked up the sharing chopsticks and put a piece of braised pork into his bowl. “Have some of this, it’s really good.”
The glistening piece of red meat looked scrumptious in the middle of the white porcelain plate.
Si Zhengting had eaten at this restaurant countless times. This pork dish was their signature and had always been ordered whenever he was here. However, he had never found it so tasty as today.
Si Zhengting picked up his chopsticks and had just eaten the braised pork when a chicken wing landed in his bowl.
He paused, picked up the wing with his chopsticks, and ate again.
It was very quiet in the private room, but the mood was warm and intimate.
Zhuang Nainai basked in the atmosphere.
She was taking another bite when she suddenly heard Si Zhengting ask, “Did you run into some problems?”
Zhuang Nainai paused. Problems?
She had, indeed, run into some problems.
However, how could she ask him about the designs that Gu Deshou requested?
Their relationship had only just thawed.
And she could not mention Mother Zhuang. If Si Zhengting found out, Ding Mengya would know too.
Leaving Mother in the hands of Gu Deshou was a lesser evil as compared to having her held as Ding Mengya’s hostage.
At least she had some bargaining power with Gu Deshou and he would not dare to hurt Mother Zhuang.
But as for Ding Mengya…
Scenes from five years ago flashed across her mind. Her face paled and she looked up.
Zhuang Nainai hesitated and shook her head. “No, I have not!”
She then tried to change the subject by putting a prawn into Si Zhengting’s plate. “Try this, it tastes really good.”
The air around Si Zhengting suddenly grew cold.
Zhuang Nainai paused for a second and registered her mistake.
Si Zhengting did not like prawns!
She had to stop making stupid mistakes whenever she got nervous!
She hurriedly picked up the prawn from his bowl. “Er… my mistake. You don’t like this. Eat this instead!”
She then put a piece of beef fillet in his bowl instead.
Si Zhengting’s gaze dimmed; a sense of helplessness radiated from deep within.
She obviously had something on her mind. But she denied it flatly when he asked what had happened at the Gu family residence.
It was clearly written on her face, but she refused to tell him.
She was not treating him as her closest confidant.
Furthermore, what was worse was that…
He had been so concerned for her, and yet she thought he was unhappy because she fed him the wrong dish.
Si Zhengting had no idea what to do with her.
He looked down and was about to eat the beef in his bowl when the door was pushed open.
“Mom! Mom!” A three-year-old boy stood at the door and peered in.
Si Zhengting frowned. The service staff immediately apologized. “I’m sorry, Mr. Si, I will take care of it right away.”
He then walked quickly to the door and attempted to carry the child. To his surprise, the boy took a step back and shouted, “Bad person! Get away from me!”
