Chapter 755: Another Climax! Nainai Gives Birth! (5)

She clearly gained weight during her pregnancy, but she still looked so small and fragile as she lay on the bed right now that it was heart-wrenching.

Si Zhengting reached out and cupped her cheek gently.

Since he came back, he had always kept a cold expression. However, there was a tinge of warmth on his face right now.

As he looked at her, his gaze suddenly became obscure and complicated.

“Nainai...” he said softly. His voice could not get any softer, and he sounded especially sorrowful and bitter. He fixed his gaze on her and watched her ever so seriously, as if he was trying to carve an image of her in his heart.

At that moment, it started drizzling in Beijing. Although it was still afternoon, the sky was gray.

The view outside could be likened to their current state, where their future was unknown.

The dim light shone on Si Zhengting’s face, causing half of his face to be dark and the other half to be bright.

He was clearly a powerful and scary figure. However, he exuded a only slightly depressing aura right now.

He did not try to conceal the rich affection he had for this woman, which was shown in his eyes, but the deep love was slowly compressed in his gaze as time passed.

His thin lips moved. The words that came out of his mouth was clearly very cruel, but it still sounded very earnest and loving.

“I can’t keep you company for the time being.”

But I will always be by your side.

That short sigh and soft words were just like the light drizzle outside, conveying a feeling of despair.

From his gaze, one could tell that he was having mixed emotions. He had clearly thought and planned out everything perfectly before he returned. However, when this moment really arrived, he realized that he already started to miss her before they even separated.

He loved her so much that he could give up his life.

But leaving her was the only way of loving her now.

He stood up and forced himself to shift his gaze away from her. Thereafter, he walked out without stopping.

He did not dare to stop nor look back. He did not even dare to think about her.

He was afraid that he would ruin the entire plan due to his soft spot for her in those moments.

As if he was escaping from Zhuang Nainai, he left completely before she could even regain consciousness. He disappeared from her life completely.

Zhuang Nainai seemed to have heard the babies’ cries while she was still drowsy. The cries were so loud and clear that it woke her up immediately.

As she opened her eyes, she saw the white ceiling. A light and pleasant scent wafted to her nose. This wasn’t the hospital.

Slightly taken aback, she turned around to look at her surroundings.

The interior was familiar yet strange. She was in a small room. She wasn’t in the hospital nor the Si residence. Instead... she was in the three-room apartment she had bought for her mother.

She frowned. Her mind was still rather fuzzy. Why was she here?

What was she doing here?

Just as she was deep in thought, the bedroom door swung open and Lin Xi’er walked in. After seeing the person on the bed, her eyes lit up and she dashed over immediately. “Nainai, you are awake?”

Upon her saying this, tears welled up in her eyes. “You were unconscious for three whole days! If the doctor hadn’t said that you were fine, I would have been so worried about you...”

She stopped talking. When Lin Xi’er raised her head, Zhuang Nainai could see the heartache and anger in her eyes.

Zhuang Nainai’s head still felt heavy, causing her to not be able to recall anything.

She pursed her lips before throwing all the questions she had moments later. “Where are my babies? Where is Si Zhengting? Why am I here? How is Mother Ding?”
