Hello, Heir

He had aged.

But he was still wrong, no matter how much he regretted the past.

Zhuang Nainai could not resist saying, “But you still gave her up at the very end.”

Gu Deshou looked up as if to say something, then heaved a deep sigh.

―

Upon leaving the Gu residence, Zhuang Nainai did not hail a cab. Instead, she walked around aimlessly.

Gu Deshou had many things he just could not bring himself to say.

But she had already filled in all their affairs with her imagination.

Was Mother Zhuang his first love? And did he leave her for Li Yufeng because of money and the company?

After all, the Gu Deshou she knew was a self-made man. Graduating from a famous school, he had started off with venture investments before going into the clothing business.

Did Mother Zhuang steal her out of her hate for him, which came from love?

No, Mother would never do something like this.

Unless Mother Zhuang had been pregnant with her when she had left Gu Deshou.

That did not seem right either.

She looked nothing like her mother. Instead, she looked more like Li Yufeng.

What exactly was going on?

Zhuang Nainai was utterly confused. Annoyed, she kept on walking.

The horn of a car suddenly sounded behind her.

Zhuang Nainai moved to the side, thinking she was blocking someone’s way.

But the horning behind her continued.

Damn!

Zhuang Nainai cursed inwardly. Who was she even blocking when she was on the sidewalk?

Zhuang Nainai reluctantly turned around, only to Si Zhengting’s Maybach following her.

Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

Zhuang Nainai immediately recovered herself. Smiling, she ran over and got into the passenger’s seat. True enough, Si Zhengting was there, reading documents.

“Why are you here?” Zhuang Nainai’s eyes sparkled.

“On the way, just passing through,” Si Zhengting replied her without expression.

Dazhuang, however, was screaming inside, Sir, the company is located on N. 2nd Ring Road, but this is W. 4th Ring Road! How is this being ‘on the way’?

Zhuang Nainai did not seem to realize that fact. Cheerily, she asked, “So where are you going to now? The office?”

Si Zhengting looked at her. “Where are you going?”

“I’m going home!”

Si Zhengting grunted and replied, “I’m just on my way home too.”

As if he was afraid of any misunderstanding, he added, “There’s a document that I accidentally left at home.”

“That’s great!”

Isn’t it just sending Madam home? We have so many chauffeurs, you didn’t have to do this personally! Dazhuang thought.

Along the way, Si Zhengting continued reading his documents while Zhuang Nainai played with her phone.

As she was playing, she felt someone’s gaze on her.

She lifted her head and saw Si Zhengting looking at her.

Shyly, Zhuang Nainai smiled, her eyes brightening. “What are you looking at?”

Without waiting for Si Zhengting to reply, she continued, “Are you looking to see if I’m pretty?”

Again, Si Zhengting did not know what to say.

He had a feeling that the Zhuang Nainai in front of him was starting to become like the Zhuang Nainai he once knew in high school.

While he remained silent, Zhuang Nainai happily continued further. “Look all you want! It’s free of charge.”

Dazhuang, seated in front, almost laughed.

Still expressionless, Si Zhengting simply allowed a smile to escape through his gaze. Unable to resist, he began to neaten her messy, chicken coop-like head.
