She fixed her large eyes on the ceiling, a strange feeling suddenly rising in her . Trusting someone unconditionally could actually feel this good…

It was tiring to be pregnant, and so, coupled with the fact that it was already late into the night, Zhuang Nainai was soon fast asleep .
Si Zhengting, who had been closely monitoring her, went downstairs only after she fell asleep .
Seeing that Si Zhengting was coming down, the butler hurriedly walked over . “Sir . ”
“I don’t want anyone to make a single sound tomorrow morning . ”
“Yes . ”
Si Zhengting spoke as he walked toward the pantry, the butler following closely behind .
Si Zhengting switched on the coffee machine and poured out some coffee beans, but just as he was about to grind the beans to make himself a cup of coffee, he suddenly realized that the grinding of the coffee would be deafening .

He paused, then returned the coffee beans to where they were . Taking out a tin of tea leaves, he made a cup of tea for himself instead . As he walked out of the pantry with a teacup in hand, he paused once more . He turned toward the butler and said, “Forget it . Just tell them to stay in their rooms tomorrow until Madam wakes up . Only then can they start cleaning the house . ”
The butler nodded . “Okay . ”
Si Zhengting held his teacup and settled down onto the sofa in the living room . He took out his laptop once more, then said, “Have Auntie Wang from the kitchen prepare chicken porridge early in the morning tomorrow, as well as some steamed dumplings and soup dumplings . ”
The butler nodded once more . “Sure . ”
Just as the butler was about to head for the kitchen to notify Auntie Wang, he heard Si Zhengting add, “Tell her to keep her movements light when she does her cooking . ”
The butler was speechless .
After finally delegating all that Si Zhengting had set for him to do, the butler headed toward his room .

“Uncle Li . ”
The butler stopped in his footsteps . “Sir, is there anything more I can do for you?”
Si Zhengting stared at his feet . “Your footsteps are too loud . ”
The butler was speechless once more .
“Sir, this is a lavish villa, and it has really good sound isolation! Madam probably can’t hear a thing from the bedroom!”
But of course, he swallowed those words . Raising his feet high and tiptoeing like a cat, he carefully made his way to his room .
By the time Zhuang Nainai woke up, it was already late into the day .

The whole villa was silent to the point of strangeness — it seemed to her that there was nobody living in the villa .
She stared at the ceiling for a few moments before coming around .
She had heard the news about Mother Zhuang having gone into the forest the previous day and had been shocked senseless by it . Today, however, she felt that she had suddenly calmed down .
Her mother had taught her that good fortune always came hand in hand with disaster .
Whatever the circumstance, she could not let herself be beaten down . So, even if her mother had met with any mishap, she was determined to stay calm for the sake of the child in her womb .
She took a few deep breaths, then got off the bed to wash up before heading downstairs .
Everyone downstairs heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing her walk down the stairs, and they immediately began doing their work .
Zhuang Nainai saw Si Zhengting emerge from the study room only after she’d had her breakfast . The corners of his eyes had heavy, dark eyebags encircling them, but his deep eyes were bright . He was walking toward her, his footsteps hurried .
Zhuang Nainai spoke before he could say anything . “I thought about it . Maybe I shouldn’t go — let’s wait for news first before deciding . ”
Si Zhengting was stunned as he heard this .
The day before, she had said the same thing, but he thought that she had said it simply out of guilt .
But today, hearing her speaking so rationally, Si Zhengting suddenly realized that… maybe he had underestimated the place that he and their child had in her heart .
