Chapter 196: I Want You to Spend More Time with Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Si Jingyu clapped her hands. “No problem! Let the person-in-charge of the design department contact me, I’ll e-mail them after I’ve completed the design drafts. I can work while I’m in Egypt...”

Si Zhengting sighed. “TZ, you’re no longer a child. Can Brother-in-law set his mind at ease while seeing you travel every day?”

Si Jingyu fell silent instantly. Shortly after, she curled her lips. “What’s there to worry about? I’m already a grown-up...”

“You’re all grown-up but always so forgetful, I can’t put my mind at ease. Stay for a few more days this time around,” Shi Jinyan said to interrupt Si Jingyu all of a sudden. Shortly after, he gazed deeply into her eyes.

Si Jingyu repeatedly opened her mouth. “Hey, don’t tell me you can’t bear to part with me? We’re like an old married couple already...”

“Indeed,” Shi Jinyan spoke again, “I want you to spend more time with me.”

Once again, Si Jingyu was at a loss for words as she looked at Shi Jinyan in surprise. It seemed like she wasn’t expecting him to say something like this.

Their eyes met.

His gaze was as deep as a well filled with water. It was ever so calm, as if nothing could cause great waves to appear in his eyes. It merely reflected a speck of starlight.

It was precisely this starlight that brightened up her life, but also... ruined her life.

Si Jingyu wanted to laugh, but her heart ached so badly that she felt a tingling in her eyes.

She forced herself to turn her head around while trying to change the topic awkwardly. “I’m dead beat after such a long journey. I’ll head upstairs and take a shower first,” she said as she stood up and directly made her way upstairs.

A complicated helpless look swept across Shi Jinyan’s gaze. The radiance that had once shone in his eyes dimmed instantly.

Both of them were experts in putting on an act. Even Zhuang Nainai, who knew that there was certainly something wrong between them, was unable to conclude anything from their appearance. As such, even though Si Zhengting felt that something was amiss, he didn’t give it much thought.

Shi Jinyan then stood up. “I’ll head upstairs to take a look at her and persuade her again.”

Si Zhengting nodded.

Both of them went upstairs while Si Zhengting conveniently picked up the confidential documents that were placed on the coffee table.

He turned around and saw Zhuang Nainai appearing pensive. While looking at the documents, he asked her in a low voice, “What are you thinking of?”

Zhuang Nainai bit her lips. “Don’t you think that... something is wrong with Sister and Brother-in-law?”

Si Zhengting didn’t even bother to lift his eyes. “All along, TZ had always loved to venture into the unknown. It really isn’t easy for her to give up her freedom to explore for the sake of romance and her family.”

Both of them seemed awkward and uncomfortable with each other, yet Si Zhengting actually felt this way?

Zhuang Nainai paused. She suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Si Zhengting in an instant. “Sister will be designing Imperial Group’s apparels this year?”

Forgive her for taking so long to raise this significant question. After all, when she first heard this piece of news, she had mistaken Sister for her love rival.

But now, she finally figured everything out.

No wonder Gu Deshou didn’t spend a huge sum of money to poach people from the Imperial Group; instead, he chose to come up with his own solution. It turned out that the real designer was right here!

There is certainly no doubt that the apparels designed by the well-known designer, TZ, are always so fashionable and in great demand.

Just as Si Zhengting was about to reply to her, his cell phone vibrated again. It was Ji Chen’s call and must be work-related. Si Zhengting took his cell phone and headed upstairs to the study room to pick up the call.

Feeling bored to death, Zhuang Nainai stood up. As her sprained ankle was hurting, she wanted to head upstairs to change her footwear and clothes. Upon reaching the upper floor, she heard Si Jingyu whispering in a room.

“Shi Jinyan, what are you still doing here?”
