Hello, Heir

The light ray was shining brightly from the pendant lamp in the room.

Zhuang Nainai stared at Si Zhengting with her bright and shining jet-black eyes. It was as if those pair of big, round eyes could talk and was condemning him for picking up her call just as he pleases.

Si Zhengting was speechless.

She was obviously keeping something from him. Yet, this woman’s train of thought could be so strange.

As the saying goes, “The villain files the suit first.” This was precisely what it meant.

With such a pair of eyes staring at him, Si Zhengting felt slightly defeated. He took her cell phone out from his pocket and threw it on the bed.

Upon seeing the cell phone, Zhuang Nainai was astonished. She lowered her head and looked into her bag but couldn’t find her cell phone. Only then did she realize that she had apparently placed her cell phone on the shoe rack.

Zhuang Nainai threw herself onto the bed and grasped her cell phone. She curled her lips and said softly, “Even so, you shouldn’t have answered my call.”

Si Zhengting was speechless.

He genuinely felt that the air in the room became slightly stuffy and lacked oxygen.

He loosened his tie, took a step back, sat on the sofa, and asked again, “What are those design drafts that he wants?”

While holding onto her cell phone, Zhuang Nainai thought to herself, Going by his personality, when the subject has changed after he had asked once, shouldn’t he stop probing further?

Why was he so insistent on getting to the bottom of this matter this time?

How was she supposed to answer this question?

Should she say that Gu Deshou wanted the Imperial Group’s autumn and winter apparels’ design drafts?

If she was right, according to Si Zhengting and Si Jingyu, the autumn and winter design drafts weren’t even out yet! Even if they were already completed, could she ask for them?

It would be completely shameless of her to do so.

Zhuang Nainai bit her lips and told Si Zhengting her plans, “The Gu family wishes to make a breakthrough in the fashion design industry. Gu… my father knows that I’ve studied fashion design in university before, and thus, he wanted me to give him a few design drafts.”

As soon as she had finished speaking, Zhuang Nainai hung her head low and didn’t continue.

Asking for design drafts from a fresh graduate? This reason couldn’t get any more absurd.

Even so, she wouldn’t have stolen the Imperial Group’s design drafts for Gu Deshou. As such, she planned to design it herself.

She had originally thought that Si Zhengting would continue to question her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Si Zhengting say nonchalantly, “Alright.”

At this moment, Zhuang Nainai was slightly puzzled.

Did he believe her or not?!

She raised her head and glanced at Si Zhengting. Although he put on his usual expression, his surrounding aura didn’t turn cold.

Zhuang Nainai immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Since it was already like this, she might as well finish her sentence in one go. “Um… can I… use your computer for a while?”

Before, the more ancient apparel designs were sketched by hand. Now, they were drawn on various online software.

However…

Zhuang Nainai didn’t have a personal computer, and neither could she do it in the company. As such, she could only borrow Si Zhengting’s computer.

Upon hearing this, Si Zhengting raised his brows and nodded his head immediately, “Sure.”

Zhuang Nainai became excited right away. Her big eyes were even giving off light. She then rushed toward the bathroom to wash up.

Looking at how cheerful she looked from behind, Si Zhengting’s gaze gradually dimmed as he seemed lost in thought.

“Ring ring…”

At this moment, the cell phone that Zhuang Nainai had thrown on the bed rang twice. Si Zhengting subconsciously walked toward it and held it up to check who it was.
