Upon hearing this, Shi Jinyan frowned. “Jingyu...”

“Didn’t you say you’ll be right there??”

Shi Jinyan hesitated and glanced at his cell phone. Thinking about what Bai Yue had said, he pressed his lips together, stretched out his hands, and reached for the door handle. “I’ll look for you again tomorrow.”

“You don’t have to look for me, just signing the agreement will do.”

Shi Jinyan glanced at her as he pressed his lips together. He opened the room door and left without saying a word.

“Thud.”

The room door closed.

Si Jingyu could only feel her heart trembling along with this sound.

At this moment, she really wanted to give herself a tight slap to wake herself up from that ridiculous fantasy of hers.

A moment ago, when he embraced her and said that he didn’t want a divorce, she had actually thought that he loved her!

Even when he picked up the call, quickly changed into his clothes, and walked toward the door, she had wishfully thought of using the divorce matter to threaten him and make him stay.

Yet, the reality was so absurd.

Si Jingyu fell onto the bed at once, as if all her strength had been drawn out from her.

The sun was shining brightly the next day.

Zhuang Nainai slept until she woke up naturally. After washing up, she went downstairs to have her meal. Si Zhengting was waiting for her leisurely while Si Jingyu had allegedly gone to work at 5 am.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Nainai was tongue-tied. While having her breakfast, she couldn’t help but criticize, “Si Zhengting, you’re such a capitalist, you really won’t even let your biological older sister off!”

Si Zhengting coldly cast a glance at her and ignored her.

While they were having lunch during work, Si Zhengting kept giving Zhuang Nainai an icy side glare. She couldn’t swallow her food and felt as if she had somehow offended him.

She was so frightened that she made her way down right after she was done with her meal. While heading to the 18th floor, she tilted her head and pondered, somehow feeling that she had forgotten something important.

Time flew by so quickly; it was already afternoon. The design department’s mass discussion meeting was scheduled to continue at 2 pm. Yet, at 1:59 pm, Zhuang Nainai’s cell phone vibrated.

She took it out and glanced at it. It was actually a text message from Senior Su Jinhui: “Don’t forget about dinner.”

Upon seeing these few words, Zhuang Nainai snapped out of it immediately!

She tapped her forehead and finally understood why she was somehow feeling as if she had forgotten something. During lunch, didn’t she forget to inform Si Zhengting?

Since she had already promised the other party, she couldn’t break the appointment. Zhuang Nainai took out her cell phone in a rush and wanted to give Si Zhengting a call to seek his permission.

Before she could even dial his number, she then heard Su Mei shouting at the top of her lungs, “Nainai, hurry, we’re going to be late!”

If she was to be late for the meeting, Zhang Chaowen might probably even skin her heart alive!

As she was pressed for time, Zhuang Nainai could only pick up her cell phone and send Si Zhengting a text message: “Si Zhengting, I have an appointment tonight so I won’t be home for dinner. You don’t have to wait for me.”

After drafting and sending the text message, she then placed her cell phone in her pocket and walked toward the meeting room.

As she was the last to enter the meeting room, Zhang Chaowen even gave her a ferocious stare.

Zhuang Nainai stuck out her tongue surreptitiously and stealthily sat at the very back. When the meeting started and Zhang Chaowen had just begun to speak, a cell phone suddenly rang in the meeting room.

Everyone followed the ringing sound and looked toward Zhuang Nainai one by one.

At this moment, Zhuang Nainai felt that Zhang Chaowen’s gaze was like an arrow as he looked straight at her.

She’s doomed!

This ringtone exclusively belonged to Si Zhengting!

She took out her cell phone in a hurry. While she was deliberating whether she should pick up the call or switch off her cell phone, a hand snatched her cell phone away from the side. In an instant, Zhang Chaowen was already behind her and he said coldly, “I really want to see who this important person is that is always on your mind even when you’re in a meeting!”

As soon as he had finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the cell phone.
