Zhuang Nainai hung her head in disappointment.
He had to force himself to use couple phones with her and wanted it changed immediately. What about... their marriage?
Was the marriage also a forced arrangement in his mind too? Would he kick her away the moment he found his true match?
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists tightly at these thoughts.
She looked up at Si Zhengting and felt ridiculous for the idea she had earlier in the day.
She actually thought Si Zhengting might have liked her.
But if he did not, how does one explain the European-style princess bed?
Zhuang Nainai was conflicted. She lowered her head and followed Si Zhengting to the dining table.
The dining room in the Si residence was enormous and serene.
There were only a dining table and two chairs. The setup was simple but extravagant when you look at their details.
The servants were dressed in uniforms and stood respectfully at the sides with their hands on their chests. One of them saw the couple approach and moved to draw the chair for them.
Si Zhengting lifted his hands slightly. She halted and remained in her spot with her head down.
Si Zhengting then walked to one side of the table and pulled the chair aside for Zhuang Nainai.
His action left the butler flabbergasted.
Sir. Had. Pulled. The. Chair. Aside. For. Madam!
When did he become such a gentleman?
The butler was about to tear up. Mr. Si had become more of a human after he married. He was finally becoming less cold and distant!
The butler looked towards Zhuang Nainai. She was the first person to receive that special treatment from Mr. Si!
Just as he was expecting Zhuang Nainai to feel flattered and grateful, he saw her walk with her head lowered around the table to the other side and sit down in the other chair, completely oblivious to Si Zhengting's chivalrous deed.
The butler was dumbfounded.
All the servants in the room held their breath and braced the impending storm that they thought died down a while earlier. Madam is in big trouble!
The affluent families took dining etiquette seriously. As the man of the house, Si Zhengting should sit in the main seat. Nobody had ever competed for that seat with him. Even Ma'am or Ms. Si would not when they came to visit.
Yet now... Madam had unknowingly sat right there!
The air in the dining room was frozen, nobody dared to breathe loudly.
Zhuang Nainai did not know what was wrong. She gave Si Zhengting a puzzled look, as if to ask why he wasn't sitting down.
The butler was speechless. He regretted not taking some time to explain the household rules to Madam yesterday.
The butler gave a soft cough and decided to take this blame to keep the harmony between the couple. He stepped forward with a downcast face and explained, "Sir, regarding this..."
He did not finish his sentence as he was shocked by what happened next.
Mr. Si only raised his brow and then sat down expressionlessly on the seat.
The butler's eyes popped. Mr. Si sat down? He actually sat down?
Holy!
What is happening to this world!
Or... was Sir possessed?
He then saw Zhuang Nainai helping herself to the food, digging in unceremoniously the moment Si Zhengting sat down.
