Chapter 277: In Love, Everyone Is a Coward (13)

Her big, round, and dark eyes were focused on his face. They seemed to be analyzing his emotions – whether he was feeling good or bad.

Si Zhengting was curious about what she wanted from him. Thus, he shut the file, which he had proofread only halfway through. Then he directed his gaze at her. “Is anything the matter?”

Upon hearing this, she hesitated, then walked into the study room and shut the door. Soon after, she carefully said, “Is there a printer? I want to print a document.”

Print a document?

Seeing how her eyes were darting randomly, Si Zhengting knew that she had an ulterior motive for approaching him. He pointed at the printer, which was beside him.

Zhuang Nainai brought the document to the desktop computer in the study room and pressed the “print” button.

The printer started buzzing. She seemed as though she was bored while waiting for the printer to finish printing, so she inched toward Si Zhengting. Then, she unlocked her phone and giggled twice.

Si Zhengting ignored her.

She giggled twice again.

This man... was still ignoring her.

Zhuang Nainai felt that he had no sense of curiosity at all. Just as she was about to criticize him for that, she heard him say, “What are you laughing at?”

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up and she rushed to his side. “Look at this post. I thought it was funny as soon as I looked at it!”

After she finished speaking, she passed him her phone as though she was presenting him with a treasure.

As Si Zhengting viewed the post, he immediately understood what she meant. He pretended to be deep in thought as he returned the phone to her, then glanced at her as he said, “So...?”

Zhuang Nainai immediately said, “This man totally lacks chivalry! How can one ask for the return of a gift?”

Si Zhengting pretended that he did not understand the implication behind her words. He hummed an agreement nonchalantly.

Zhuang Nainai was extremely anxious upon seeing Si Zhengting’s reaction. She raised her head and stole a glance at him, then pretended to be nosy as she asked, “Don’t you think that this person is a scumbag?”

Si Zhengting stopped the corners of his lips from curling upward into a smile. He obviously knew what her motive was in bringing up the post, but he refused to play along. He continued indifferently, “I have no interest in this.”

Zhuang Nainai: “...”

Zhuang Nainai felt that Si Zhengting was an impregnable fortress – one could not conquer it!

She turned around, defeated, and retrieved her design from the printer. She also took a folder from the side of the printer and slotted the design into it.

After all, Zhuang Nainai did not major in fashion design. Thus, she was still a greenhorn in this area. Hence, the designs that she came up with were rigid, and they required further alterations and polishing.

So printing these design drafts were totally an excuse to see Si Zhengting!

She took the documents and walked toward the door of the study room in defeat. When she was halfway across the room, she could not bring herself to give up on her goal. She turned back and walked to Si Zhengting’s side, then conveniently placed the folder on his office desk.

She decided to muster up her courage and to give him an honest account. If not, she would never be able to pay off the $10,000,000 in her lifetime on her salary.

She coughed, then said slowly, “About that, Si Zhengting...”

Si Zhengting turned and looked at her.

Zhuang Nainai lowered her head and said carefully, “Can you... lend me $8,000,000?”

Si Zhengting furrowed his eyebrows. Although he knew what it was about, he asked, “What are you going to do with that money?”

Zhuang Nainai sighed. “A house for my mother.”

She deliberately left her intentions vague about whether she had already bought the house or was about to buy it.

Si Zhengting was shocked. He had thought that Zhuang Nainai would definitely find a poor excuse to explain the need for the money. After all, there had been so many misunderstandings between them and they were not on the best terms with each other.
