After saying this, Zuo Yiyi paused for a moment. “No, wait. This Liu Xinshui is younger than you!”
As soon as Zhuang Nainai heard the words “younger than you,” she became sour.
Like in the past, Zuo Yiyi had no filters with her words, touching every sore spot she encountered.
Zhuang Nainai was sullen. There was a feeling of suffocation that she could not explain, as if there was something pressing on her chest.
Frowning, she glared at Si Zhengting furiously as she anticipated his answer.
Old Mr. Liu’s hint was so obvious; there would be no difference even if he said it straight to his face. “The two of you should date.” How could Si Zhengting not understand his intentions?
He raised his brows and looked at Liu Xinshui.
When he had just entered the venue, he was slightly taken aback upon receiving her welcome. He had thought that he was looking at the 18-year-old Zhuang Nainai, so he became rather absent-minded. But now, he realized that this was part of someone’s elaborate plan!
Subconsciously, he glanced elsewhere. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that Zhuang Nainai was acting nonchalant, but he could see her tight grip around the goblet and the fiery gaze of someone who had just had something she loved dearly stolen by another person coming from her. His lips curled up subconsciously. A smile spread across his face uncontrollably.
His smile caused everyone to misinterpret his intentions.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Nainai tightened her grip and she could not help but curse at him inaudibly, “Bastard! Scoundrel! Has he really forgotten about his ex-lover now that he has a new one?”
Although both of them had agreed on an amicable breakup, she really wished in that moment that she could rush up to him and announce that he was hers to the whole world like how she did in high school!
Pursing her lips, she was really scared that she would not be able to resist the urge to approach him.
On the other hand, Liu Xinshui looked delighted. Sticking her nose up in the air arrogantly, she said with a crisp and clear voice, “Si Zhengting, do you have a girlfriend right now? I don’t have a boyfriend at present. May I pursue you?”
These words…
Zhuang Nainai was infuriated instantly. She felt like the secret that was shared only between Si Zhengting and her had been exposed to the public.
Clenching her fists tightly, she shot daggers at Si Zhengting.
Meanwhile, Si Zhengting’s smile froze as he heard what she said.
He looked down. The smile on his face vanished and his usual cold tone returned when he spoke. “Ms. Liu, you are still a kid. Please be careful with what you say.”
Ms. Liu, you are still a kid…
When he said that, Zhuang Nainai was dazed. Then, she burst into fits of laughter.
Those words were like a brutal slap across Old Mr. Liu’s face!
Old Mr. Liu’s face turned grim. It was obvious that he had expected Si Zhengting to go along with him.
Liu Xinshui’s face was flushed. She kept her chin up stubbornly as she pouted. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Si Zhengting, how can you do this to me?”
Si Zhengting glanced at her nonchalantly before shifting his gaze.
Her imitation of Zhuang Nainai was indeed perfect, but… there was only one Zhuang Nainai in the world.
The atmosphere immediately became tense. Liu Xinshui looked up at Si Zhengting, only to see that he was turning a blind eye to her. Being sensitive, she ultimately lowered her head and ran away in tears.
She made it seem like Si Zhengting had just bullied her.
After Liu Xinshui ran away, Old Mr. Liu paused for a moment before saying with a smile, “Alright. A kid is insensible indeed. Si, don’t mind her.”
Si Zhengting nodded. “If she’s insensible, she should not be brought out to receive guests. What if she clashes with someone?”
