Chapter 726
Zhuang Nainai was extremely antsy for the entire afternoon . She did not even have her nap and was just spending time with Ding Mengya in the living room downstairs . Every five minutes, Zhuang Nainai would give Si Zhengting a call . By the time it was night time, the number of unanswered calls had reached over 100 .

Feeling inexplicable anxiety, she could not even have her dinner .
Ding Mengya consoled her . “Zhengting has gone for countless business trips over the years and he brought many people this time, so everything would be fine . Don’t worry . ”
Her tone was very firm and very persuasive, but Zhuang Nainai still could not get relief from her words .
She nodded mindlessly . It could be because her due date was near, so she had the tendency to feel jittery . It could also be because what happened today made her feel like something was wrong and she just felt slightly suffocated .
The television was showing an entertainment program . The over-the-top and humorous tone of the emcee would make people burst into laughter, but the atmosphere in the Si residence was extremely depressing .

While watching the television, she could not help but look outside the window .
The smog in Beijing was getting more serious . No stars could be seen in the night sky . Even the moon was covered by the heavy smog, making it look fuzzy, just like her unpredictable heart right now .
It seemed like happiness was clearly within reach, but she just could not get it .
Taking in a deep breath, Zhuang Nainai felt like something was clogging her heart . She could not breathe well as it was very suffocating .
Just when Zhuang Nainai thought that she would not be able to catch her breath, like she was a fish on land, in the next second, her phone finally rang .

She jumped up in shock and looked at her phone immediately, only to see a familiar name on the lit-up screen . Then, her uneasy heart finally settled down .
“It’s Si Zhengting . ” Zhuang Nainai sounded like she was telling that to Ding Mengya but she was also telling that to herself . She grabbed her phone to answer the call .
Just then, she felt that her arm was about to give way .
She answered the call and greeted him nervously . Thereafter, she heard Si Zhengting’s familiar and deep voice on the other end . His voice was clear with signs of exhaustion . “Nainai, it’s me . ”
Instantly, Zhuang Nainai felt bitter . Swallowing her saliva, she suppressed her emotions . “Are you okay?”

Her question was like a surge of warmth that directly infiltrated Si Zhengting’s heart over the vast oceans .
He knew that she would feel worried and anxious when he had not contacted her for the entire afternoon . However, there was no signal at that place, so he couldn’t do anything about it .
When his phone finally had signal, he called her immediately . He had thought that she would ask about Mother Zhuang first, but he had not expected her to ask… “Are you okay?” first .
Stunned, he held his phone in a daze, as if he had lost the ability to talk .
Did this mean that he had actually become more important than Mother Zhuang in her heart?
As soon as he thought of this, he felt like there was endless energy surging in his lethargic body, such that he would be willing to go through what he had gone through just now again .
However, Zhuang Nainai got the wrong idea on the other end . “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Did something bad happen?”
Her anxious voice snapped Si Zhengting out of his trance . He finally answered, “I’m fine . ”
