After the blanket was lifted off, Zhuang Nainai's small head peeked out. She looked at him with her big eyes and asked, "Did I just… sleep for an entire day?"

Si Zhengting: "…"

This was such a small matter yet it made her so shocked?

Si Zhengting thought he was being ridiculous. Just now, he was actually panicking, and he had worried about her immediately, but he had been running the Imperial Group for a few years – was there ever a time before this when he'd lost his cool?

Si Zhengting glared at Zhuang Nainai for a second. Seeing how she was huddled up obediently under the blanket, he thought that she looked… rather adorable. In addition, she even asked him in confusion, "What happened to you?"

What happened to him?

He was worried about her!

Si Zhengting thought that he must be crazy. He had wanted to answer her coldly to cover up his embarrassment, but, thinking about how much she had suffered, he swallowed his words and simply tucked her in. Thereafter, he stood up and returned to the couch to continue his work, outrightly ignoring her question.

The room became very quiet suddenly. However… Zhuang Nainai really could not fall asleep.

Her body clock had been messed up, what could she do?

She picked up her phone again and started using it under the blanket.

Upon swiping the lock screen, she saw a few unanswered calls and unseen messages.

The messages were from a few colleagues, including Su Mei, who had asked her why she did not go to work. Zhuang Nainai felt that she wasn't such a failure in her workplace after all. Look, a few colleagues still cared about her, right?

She replied to each and every one of them, explaining that she had fallen sick. As for asking for a leave, she was not worried at all because she had Si Zhengting with her, as well as executive assistant Ji, who was meticulous in whatever he did.

As she was replying to the messages, she suddenly noticed a message sent by an unknown number. It introduced a house near Beisanhuan and said that the details had been sent to her email.

Initially, Zhuang Nainai had automatically ignored the message as she thought it was just an advertisement. However, after a while, it suddenly dawned on her: wasn't that the property agent company that she had called?

She was currently in urgent need of a house for her mother to live in after she returned!

Zhuang Nainai became excited instantly as she logged in to her email via her phone.

The house had two bedrooms, one living room, and one kitchen. It was about 100 square meters and was priced at seven million dollars.

The housing prices in Beijing was very expensive, so this price was considered average. Moreover, it was a furnished newlyweds' home. The couple were going overseas to work; thus, they were rushing to sell the house. In addition, Zhuang Nainai had visited that area, and the surroundings were nice. The facilities were comprehensive with hospitals, supermarkets, and gardens, and it was very suitable for the elderly to live in.

Zhuang Nainai really could not be more satisfied with this house!

Normally, such houses would be high in demand, so she hurriedly sent a message to the agent to express her interest. While lying in bed, she paid the deposit. Then, she messaged Lin Xi'er to ask her to get her mother's identification card from the small single-storey house so that she could buy the house.

Zhuang Nainai had just bought a house for seven million dollars in the blink of an eye, as if she were buying vegetables. However, she did not feel any pinch in her heart. On the contrary, she felt very satisfied.

That one hundred million dollars seemed like a wall that separated Si Zhengting and her. After she spent the money, it was as if the wall disappeared.

As much as she knew that she was just lying to herself, she was more than happy to live in her self-fabricated garden.

After settling a troubling matter, she drifted off unknowingly.

Upon hearing that her breathing had become even, Si Zhengting looked up.
