So, he was to tie her shoelace for her?!

Would a king kneel down to tie a shoelace for a woman?!
She felt as if he was being put on the spot .
Even Shi Haoyu probably wouldn’t be able to lower himself for Xue Rong in front of everyone, right?
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Si Zhengting’s deep gaze sweep across her . All of a sudden, he pushed away his chair .
Sh*t!
Was Si Zhengting going to hit Xie Yutong?
Just as Zhuang Nainai moved forward to stop him, he suddenly lowered himself .
Zhuang Nainai was flabbergasted .

In an instant, Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened as she watched him bend down and untie her shoelace before tying it up again .
His movements were elegant, and even though he was kneeling down while she was standing up, he didn’t seem the least bit inferior to her .
A feeling of warmth rose in Zhuang Nainai’s heart .
Si Zhengting had crossed his bottom line for her again and again .
She had never imagined that he would one day lower his proud head in front of her .
Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy that she experienced huge swings in emotions . At that very moment, she suddenly felt like she wanted to cry .
She hurriedly lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes before quickly making her way out of the room .
As Si Zhengting watched her walk out, he suddenly felt…

The moment he knelt down, the discomfort he had felt earlier immediately disappeared .
If kneeling down could make her happy, why wouldn’t he do it?
He stood up, dusted his hands, and sat back down at the table, his eyes lowered .
Xue Rong and Shi Haoyu were shocked stiff at his actions . Seeing that he was now back at his seat, Xue Rong narrowed her eyes and smiled toward Si Zhengting . “Mr . Si, is Zhuang Nainai’s income very high?”Read more chapter on our vipnovel . com
A high income?
Si Zhengting raised his brows .
As the deputy director of the fashion design department of the Imperial Group, how was it possible that her income was low?
He nodded his head .
Xue Rong made an “I-knew-it” expression, then smiled . She looked toward Shi Haoyu and said, “In our family, Haoyu is the one who supports the family while I’m in charge of being beautiful . But for Mr . Si’s family… ha ha ha…”

Then, she sighed and continued, “Nainai is really quite pitiful . First, she got herself the responsibility of a mentally ill mother, and now her boyfriend…”
She didn’t need to finish her sentence for everyone to know what she meant: Si Zhengting was a pretty boy to Zhuang Nainai!
Xie Yutong was seething with rage . Just as she was about to engage with Xue Rong, she saw that Si Zhengting was sitting quietly without even seeming the least bit bothered . She suddenly felt that there was not much point in fighting with Xue Rong and decided to simply close her eyes .
And so, with nobody replying nor rebuking Xue Rong’s comments, everything instantly became rather boring .
Taking it all in, Xue Rong opened her mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out .
Shi Haoyu, on the other hand, had his head lowered, his heart bitter .
He had liked Zhuang Nainai ever since the first time he had seen her during their university days . He had pursued her for three whole years without success, and his liking for her had changed from being an innocent love to spite, and now, finally, it became a form of insult .
It was as if the inability to succeed in his pursuit of her was his fault .
So, when he had last seen her at the shop selling wedding dresses, knowing that her life hadn’t been going too well, he had both ached and enjoyed the moment .
And that was also the reason he had offered to pay for this gathering that the class representative had initiated . He wanted her to see how well he was doing and for her to regret not having accepted him all those years ago .
