Su Yanbin was speechless.
Su Yanbin staved off his sleepiness and drove to a private restaurant. He yawned as he walked toward his private room. As he pushed the door open and entered, he saw that Si Zhengting was already seated inside and waiting for him.
Su Yanbin was taken aback. He sat down, then started recounting what Zhuang Nainai had done for the entire day in great detail to Si Zhengting.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and sipped the tea. Then, he raised his head and saw that a card had appeared in front of him.
Su Yanbin was surprised. “What’s this?”
“Money for clothes and for the rent.”
Su Yanbin was speechless.
Su Yanbin pushed the card away. “You’re actually thinking of returning this little bit of money I’ve spent? You’re being too courteous, Leader Ting!”
Si Zhengting replied calmly, “Why should my woman be spending your money?”
If this had happened under normal circumstances, Su Yanbin would definitely have rejected Si Zhengting’s money. But after Su Yanbin heard this, especially after hearing how Si Zhengting referred to Zhuang Nainai as “my woman,” he felt strangely guilty. Thus, he slipped the card into his own pocket, then anxiously glanced outside. He changed the topic. “Why hasn’t the waiter served the food? I’m about to die from hunger.”
He turned his head back and saw that Si Zhengting had stood up and was walking out.
Ji Chen smiled as he spoke, “Mr. Su, we haven’t placed an order for the food. Please feel free to order whatever you like. Sir has other matters to attend to and he will not be joining you for dinner. Please remember to put this on Sir’s tab.”
Su Yanbin was rendered speechless once again. So was this his reward for being summoned in the middle of the night, starving for a night, and then spending his entire day with Zhuang Nainai?

Si Zhengting didn’t let any of his bodyguards tail him. Instead, he drove an inconspicuous car on his own. He silently parked it outside an alleyway of Xibali Village.
Through the window and the deep, serene alleyway, he could only see the small single-storey house that she lived in. A faint, orange and yellow glow emitted from the house. In this old and tattered neighborhood, the glow made the house look lonely and bleak.
He slowly wound down the window of his car, then silently stared at the building.
At 10 pm, the lights went off.
Following that, there was no longer any sound.
Si Zhengting slowly closed his eyes.
He had been tired the entire day in the office. However, whenever he tried to shut his eyes and to rest for a little while, he kept seeing her determined silhouette leaving him in his mind’s eye. This made him feel strangely panicky.
And now that he knew where she was, he suddenly felt relieved. Thus, he leaned against the interior door of his car and slept peacefully.
He slept dreamlessly and was only awoken by the cacophony of noise at dawn.
The entire neighborhood was bustling with life. There were hawkers driving their vehicles around and selling their wares.
He stretched his stiff body and checked the time. It was 7 am.
His gaze was subconsciously drawn to the single-storey house. Had she slept well last night? Had she had breakfast yet?
As he thought this, he turned around and suddenly saw that Su Yanbin’s car was parked not too far away. He was carrying a hot and piping breakfast as he got off his car happily. He made straight for Zhuang Nainai’s house. But as he was on his way there, he suddenly spotted Si Zhengting’s car.
It was as though Su Yanbin had received an electric shock — he was so petrified that he drooped his head, turned around, and was prepared to dash off!
Si Zhengting sounded his car horn. It was only then that Su Yanbin halted in his footsteps, turned, and slowly walked toward Si Zhengting’s car. His smile seemed forced as he greeted Si Zhengting, “Ting, Leader Ting, you, you were here since yesterday?”
Si Zhengting’s gaze was on the breakfast that Su Yanbin was holding.
Su Yanbin guiltily hid the breakfast behind his back, then he lifted his head, poorly trying to conceal the fact that he had bought Zhuang Nainai breakfast. He said, “Zhuang Nainai said that the breakfast here was good, so I came to try it. Hahaha, Leader Ting, do you want to have some?”.
