Hello, Heir

In her shock and panic, Zhuang Nainai terminated the call.

Just as she managed to calm down a little, her cell phone rang once more. Caught by surprise, Zhuang Nainai lowered her head, only to see… that it was Xu Dazhi who was calling?

Thinking of his carefulness on his Wechat Moments, the way his friends had teased him, as well as what had transpired between the both of them, Zhuang Nainai realized that she had to take charge of the situation. Clenching her teeth, she picked up the phone. Before Xu Dazhi could say anything, however, she immediately said, “Xu Dazhi, don’t say anything for now. Let me speak!”

What if Xu Dazhi was about to confess and propose to her? Her repeated rejections of him would surely make him sad.

There was no way that she could have fallen in love with Xu Dazhi. All her love and passion in this life was meant to be for Si Zhengting alone!

If that wasn’t the case, how had she managed to resist all her pursuers during the best time of her youth?

She knew well that the groundless attraction she felt for Xu Dazhi came from the fact that she sensed a hint of Si Zhengting in him.

So, she had to stop herself from having any relationship with Xu Dazhi, because she and Xu Dazhi had no future together.

Sitting in his villa and seeing that she hadn’t arrived after a few minutes, Si Zhengting had made a call to Zhuang Nainai. Little did he expect that she would reject his call!

He had no idea why, but he had then picked up the cell phone belonging to Xu Dazhi and called her.

He hadn’t hoped for much, but the line unexpectedly connected — Zhuang Nainai had picked up the call.

Si Zhengting suddenly didn’t know what to feel. He was sour that Zhuang Nainai had rejected his call but had picked up Xu Dazhi’s!

Then, he heard Zhuang Nainai speak.

What did she have to say to Xu Dazhi?

What was she going to say?

Si Zhengting stopped himself from revealing his identity and gave a cold grunt instead.

With that, he heard her voice, unusually warm and gentle. She carefully said, “Xu Dazhi, I’m really grateful for all the care that you’ve shown me all this while, but what happened yesterday was an accident. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

The events of the previous day had been an accident?

He wasn’t to take it to heart?

Si Zhengting had not expected her to sound so calm.

Logically speaking, if a woman slept with a man whom she had no feelings for, wouldn’t she go crazy?

He had been so afraid that she wouldn’t have been able to take the events of the night before and had even planned to spill the beans to her. But now, she was much calmer than expected!

Si Zhengting fell silent for a few moments, shocked. But just as he was finally about to speak, he heard Zhuang Nainai continue, “Xu Dazhi, I have to admit that I kind of liked you in the time that we’ve been friends, but this liking is strictly of the friendship sort. I have sons, and even if I never get to be with Si Zhengting again, I’ll never get together with you. So, let’s not meet ever again.”

Si Zhengting was stunned.

She had spoken harsh, heartless words, but the way she said it had been so gentle. She had always been like that with him, but he never knew that she was the same to others!

All of a sudden, as if a vat of vinegar had been overturned, he felt a wave of sourness and jealousy grow in his heart. He was at a loss as to what to do.
