But… so what if they were to dig out all of her secrets?
She would rather not know anything in exchange for the safe return of Mother Zhuang .
After hanging up on Ji Chen, Zhuang Nainai stayed submerged in the barrage of facts that had just been presented to her .
At the particular thought of the fact that Mother Zhuang was still out alone, her whole emotional state worsened .
She knew that she had to relax now that she was pregnant, so she had been trying her best to avoid thinking about unhappy things . But now, the spilling of Li Yufeng’s secrets somehow soured her mood .
Si Jingyu, sensing something amiss with Zhuang Nainai’s feelings, turned her head toward Si Zhengting . “Hey, Ji Chen reported all of this to you . Why did you call him up and make him repeat everything to us?”
Si Zhengting cast a cold glance at Si Jingyu, silent .
Si Jingyu pursed her lips . “Don’t tell me that you were annoyed at how much there was to say?”
Si Zhengting remained quiet, his silence betraying an admission of what she said .
Si Jingyu was speechless .
Si Jingyu didn’t know what to do with Si Zhengting anymore . “I say, Zhengting, you staying so quiet and sullen… you can’t placate your wife like this!”
Si Zhengting, looking at Zhuang Nainai, was still silent . After a while, he called the butler over . “Get Madam a personal bodyguard . ”
Upon hearing this, the butler turned to Zhuang Nainai immediately . “Madam, do you have anyone you’re particularly familiar with, enough that you want him to be your personal bodyguard?”
Particularly familiar?
“Dazhuang?” The moment Zhuang Nainai said this, a certain burly, chunky man in the room began wishing he could shrink into the wall!

Dashan and Xiaoshan began giggling as they looked toward Dazhuang, a little too obviously full of glee at his misfortune!
With that, the butler turned to look at Dazhuang . Dazhuang waved his hands at him instantly in an attempt to refuse . He was now called Dazhuang, but a few days of being with Madam would surely cause his name to change to Daniu, Big Cow!
Dashan and Xiaoshan, still laughing, then suddenly heard Zhuang Nainai speak once more . “Dashan and Xiaoshan?”
The smiles on their faces froze immediately . Now they were the ones wishing that they could squirm into a hole and not be called by Madam!
Dazhuang, on the other hand, was now standing ram-rod straight . What goes around comes around, he thought, and it was his turn to laugh at them .
But he didn’t have time to laugh for long because Zhuang Nainai continued, “Let’s just stick with Dazhuang since he’s the fittest out of everyone here . With someone chunky like him by my side, I’ll be able to put my mind at ease!”
Dazhuang was speechless .
He nearly fell onto the floor head first! Madam, you’re going to be at ease, but I’m going to suffer! he thought .
Before the butler could say anything, Si Zhengting spoke first . “Huang Peidong . ”
“Yes, Mr . Si . ” With a face full of agony, Dazhuang stepped forward .
“I’ll leave Madam to you from now onwards . Her safety is now your responsibility . ”
With a pained expression on his face, Dazhuang thought, Sir, can I refuse? Can I resign?
Zhuang Nainai stayed with Si Jingyu for a few days, and she soon began to grow bored .
In the blink of an eye, she was nearly five months pregnant .
There was still no news about Mother Zhuang even after such a long period of time . For Zhuang Nainai, no news meant good news .
From the panic and anxiety in the initial stages to the emotional adjustments later on… she was now just left with a sliver of hope in her heart .
In actual fact, however, she was getting more and more frustrated . In order for her to cease such emotions so as to not affect the mood of her child, Zhuang Nainai consistently planned a full schedule for herself every day .
Her pregnancy was getting more and more stable, and her physician had begun suggesting to her to exercise more .
But what could she do at home?
