Hello, Heir

Zhuang Nainai finished her question and looked towards Gu Deshou, only to see his face instantly darken.

In that moment, there appeared to be some sincerity in those seedy eyes.

It made Zhuang Nainai pause. Could there really be something between Gu Deshou and Mother Zhuang?

Gu Deshou might be a scumbag, but he was also undeniably charming as a man. His natural charisma drew people to him, and one would not find him irksome, even when he was bootlicking Si Zhengting.

He must have been very attractive when he was younger.

However… Mother was not born a beauty and looked mediocre. If Gu Deshou and Mother had been in a relationship, they would not have looked right together…

Li Yufeng, on the other hand, was a good match for Gu Deshou.

But if it were not for such dramatic reasons, why would Mother Zhuang steal a child?

The DNA paternity testing could not be wrong. She must have inherited her good looks from Gu Deshou and Li Yufeng. Even if she wanted to believe Mother Zhuang, Zhuang Nainai had to face the truth after such a long time.

Gu Deshou looked as if he did not know how to answer the question and was silent for a while. Zhuang Nainai stood at the spot patiently until she heard voices from downstairs. Si Zhengting was back. Gu Deshou finally spoke, “This relates to what happened between us adults. It’s a long story, you will find out slowly eventually.”

After leaving the Gu residence, Zhuang Nainai sat in the passenger seat and was deep in thought, not paying attention to her surroundings.

Si Zhengting drove in silence. He noticed her brooding and hesitated to speak. But her face was rich with different expressions.

One minute she was excited, the next sad. Another minute she was listless, and the next she was spirited.

All her emotional ups and downs were clearly written on her face.

The veins on Si Zhengting’s temples jumped. He could take it no more and asked, “What happened?”

His sudden question broke the silence in the car.

Zhuang Nainai was surprised and turned to face Si Zhengting with a face of disbelief. She then looked back to the front and down again, resuming her rapid change of expressions.

Was she deaf?

Why was she not responding to him?

Si Zhengting felt a wave of annoyance and frowned.

Zhuang Nainai must have met with some problems back at the Gu family. But she would rather hold it in and not tell him about it.

Was he really such an undependable husband in her eyes?

Si Zhengting simmered in silence and saw Zhuang Nainai suddenly look out of the car window. Her eyes lit up and she swallowed.

Following her line of sight, Si Zhengting saw a pedestrian walk past with a BBQ skewer. Zhuang Nainai’s eyes were glued to the stick.

The veins on Si Zhengting’s temples jumped again. After a while, he finally blurted out, “Are you still hungry?”

Zhuang Nainai heard him and looked back at him abruptly with a puzzled expression. “Did you really speak just now? It wasn’t my hallucination?”

Zhuang Nainai felt instantly embarrassed after that. She cleared her throat and lowered her head.

Si Zhengting felt his temper rise. She must have felt very embarrassed and had forgotten to answer his question again!

Just as he had expected, Zhuang Nainai was looking down again, quietly blaming herself for being so careless and voicing out her internal thoughts.
