Chapter 418: Let’s Get a Divorce (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Si Zhengting’s voice was sharp as usual, but this time, there was a hint of hoarseness.
As Zhuang Nainai listened to him, she lifted up her head to meet his steady gaze and then nodded.
He surely had some opinion or another about her proposal for divorce the day before.
Without eating breakfast, Zhuang Nainai decidedly followed him into the study room. As they sat opposite each other, the atmosphere felt somewhat formal and uptight.
Yet after sitting like this for a while, Si Zhengting made no attempt to speak. Unable to resist any longer, Zhuang Nainai gave a slight cough. “Umm…”
“I’ve thought about the proposal for divorce that you made yesterday.”
Zhuang Nainai was cut off just as she was about to speak. Stunned, she looked at him, her heart in suspense.
He couldn’t possibly disagree, could he?
Just when she was struggling with her own thoughts, she heard Si Zhengting’s emotionless voice ring out in the room. “I agree to it.”
The four words gave Zhuang Nainai relief. But at the same time, she felt as if a big piece of her heart just left her.
Suppressing her sadness and melancholy, she nodded her head and grunted.
“You were the one who suggested a divorce, but the responsibility for a marriage lies with both parties. With regards to the divorce terms and agreements, the issue of my compensation to you…”
Zhuang Nainai hurriedly stopped him. “I don’t want anything from you.”
Si Zhengting grunted. “Of course, you’ve never contributed anything to the family, so you don’t have any right to ask for anything. However, since we’re going to get a divorce, we have to settle the things between the two of us.”
Zhuang Nainai stared at him, puzzled. “What?”
What was there to settle?
Si Zhengting spoke slowly. “Since we’ve been together for a while, I don’t want things to end badly. Also, the Si family is a large one, and divorce is a huge thing for the family. You know how Si Guangsong has been eyeing me and waiting for me to trip up… so our divorce proceedings have to be done meticulously and in private, lest they get a hold of anything to do with me. I hope you understand.”
Spooked, Zhuang Nainai felt a layer of goosebumps forming on her back. She immediately nodded. “Of course.”
Grunting once more, Si Zhengting continued, “So, I’ll notify my team of lawyers. When they’re done with the divorce agreements, I’ll contact you. However, I hope that you can keep our divorce under wraps for now, because it’ll definitely affect the stock price of the Imperial Group.”
Zhuang Nainai understood where he was coming from. “Definitely.”
Having said all of this, Si Zhengting stood up. “Okay, we’re done. We can go now.”
If he hadn’t said anything, or if he had tried to run away from the problem, Zhuang Nainai would have thought that he didn’t want to agree to the divorce. But now that he was making such arrangements in a formal way, Zhuang Nainai suddenly had the feeling that they were truly going to get a divorce very soon.
The guardedness she had reserved in her heart disappeared with the distance that he now put between them.
After heading downstairs, they ate breakfast together amidst a strange atmosphere. When it was time to head to work, Zhuang Nainai cast a glance at the silver-gray Maybach, then smiled at Si Zhengting. “I guess it’s better if I take the train to work, right?”
Si Zhengting glanced at her indifferently. “Do you want tomorrow’s headlines to be about us having problems with our marriage?”
Hmm…
Zhuang Nainai obediently got into the car. But halfway through their journey, she suddenly realized: they hadn’t even announced their marriage! What marriage problem was there to be talked about?!
