Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief . “I’m glad that you are fine . I thought something bad has happened to you because you didn’t contact for the whole afternoon . ”
After saying this, she asked anxiously, “How is my mother?”
Si Zhengting pursed his lips . He could not recall the answer he had prepared after she cut him off .
He paused for a moment before saying, “Don’t worry, she will be fine . ”
Will be fine?
When she heard this, Zhuang Nainai’s heart lurched again . “Have you met my mother?”
Si Zhengting remained silent momentarily before answering, “Yes . ”
“How is she?”
Si Zhengting raised his head and glanced at the front doors of the overseas emergency room . Thinking about the scene just now, he answered after a while, “She’s fine . ”
At last, Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief . Although she thought that Si Zhengting’s tone was slightly odd, she did not dwell on it .
She asked, “When are you coming back?”
“Probably in two days’ time . I still have to settle some things here . ”
He did not elaborate on what things he had to settle specifically .
Zhuang Nainai had wanted to ask more questions when she heard noises in the background from the other end . He was calling her while passing down some instructions . It seemed like he was so busy that he did not have time to talk to her .
Then, Zhuang Nainai said, “You should get going . We can talk again once you are free . ”
Si Zhengting acknowledged her words . Just as Zhuang Nainai was about to end the call, Si Zhengting suddenly called her name, “Nainai…”
Zhuang Nainai answered immediately, “Yes?”
Si Zhengting paused for a moment before saying slowly, “Do you… believe me?”
Without hesitation, Zhuang Nainai replied, “Yes . ”
The two of them had been through so much . What else could get in between them?
She believed him . There was no other person she could trust so much in this world .
Si Zhengting paused, seemingly smiling on the other end . Then, he continued, “Can we… get a divorce first?”
Divorce?
As soon as Zhuang Nainai heard this word, her eyes widened as she stared at her phone in disbelief . After making sure that he was really the one who said that, she pursed her lips and smiled . “Okay . ”
Si Zhengting pursed his lips again . “Nainai, be careful of Li Yufeng and Mi Nuo these few days . I will ask Ji Chen to send you the divorce agreement tomorrow . I can’t explain everything in detail over the phone, so I will explain this to you when I return . ”
Zhuang Nainai replied once again, “Okay . ”
After the call ended, the suffocating feeling in her chest became worse .
Divorce?
Why were they divorcing?
She knew that some married couples would pretend to get a divorce just to buy a second-hand house at a lower loan interest rate . They would get married again after buying the house .
But she and Si Zhengting obviously had no need to do this . So why was he doing this?
Not able to wrap her mind around this, Zhuang Nainai looked down . She chose to not think about it . Since he asked her to wait for his return, she would wait . Regardless of the reason, she believed that he would not harm her .
After Li Yufeng left that cafe, she drove off, planning to meet Mi Nuo . On the way, her phone rang . The call was from Gu Xinghao .
Li Yufeng simply ignored it and looked ahead .
However, the phone would not stop ringing, so she put on her Bluetooth earpiece and accepted the call .
Immediately, Gu Xinghao’s desperate wails could be heard . “Mother, come back home now!”
Li Yufeng said in annoyance, “The relationship between Mi Nuo and me is not what you guys imagine it to be . I can’t tell you certain things right now, but you have to believe me . I have my own reasons . You…”
