Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone in the private room was silently watching the happenings at the main table. When they heard these words, everyone’s eyes widened in surprise and they stared curiously at Si Zhengting.

Mr. Si was really handsome. Logically speaking, he should have been a playboy. However, in all these years, he’d had no woman by his side. He only sought Zuo Yiyi’s company when he required a female companion for special events.

Thus, everyone was curious about his love life.

And Si Zhengting was unable to answer this question.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a while.

His silence caused Zhuang Nainai to think that her past self from five years ago was really laughable. It was as though she had returned to the past, five years ago — she didn’t want to hear him say hurtful things. Due to her sensitivity, she refused to put herself in a position where she would get hurt.

Thus, she took in a deep breath, then got to her feet. “I’m going down...”

Before she could finish speaking, he slowly spoke up. “I am not especially fond of her.”

She halted in her footsteps. Words were caught in her throat. The searing pain engulfed her body once again.

She clenched her fists. She had long known that he had toyed with her feelings back then, but hearing him say it in person caused her excruciating pain.

She tried to maintain her composure. Her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face had suddenly gone pale. Even her lips were devoid of color.

She swallowed, trying to hold her sobs back. Then, the corners of her lips curled up and she walked toward the private room.

Although she had already considered getting a divorce and she had told herself that she should give up on her relationship with him, when it came to actually putting these into action, she still lacked the courage to do so.

This was... her youth was too beautiful, her memories... too beautiful. She wanted to linger on inside her memories without any thought of leaving.

She staggered a little. When she was outside the private room, her hand on the doorknob, she heard him continue, “I really love her a lot.”

Zhuang Nainai was stunned.

Her slightly drooping eyes widened with shock. She stared at the door incredulously, then she felt as though someone had stolen all her senses away from her.

What did he say?

That he loved her a lot?

She had heard him correctly, right?

She had forgotten to breathe. She looked at him.

His expression was calm as usual. His cool nonchalance made it seem as though he had not said anything.

And the employees gazed at him silently from below, as though they were in shock from his words.

Zhuang Nainai blinked, then blinked again. Had whatever he just said been a figment of her imagination?

She stood by the door, continuing to stare at him.

Then she heard him repeat himself: “I love her a lot.”

He loved her a lot...

She clenched her fist. She didn’t know where this burst of strength had come from as she suddenly really wanted to talk things through with him!

All those years ago, he had been the one who reneged on their promise to each other. He had been the one who abandoned her, who left her to go abroad. However, now he was portraying himself as someone who was so passionately devoted toward her! Just who was he putting on this show for?!

A rush of anger coursed through her body. Thus, she coldly said, “I heard that Mr. Si had left the country after graduating from high school. Did you really love her that much?”

All the employees present fell silent again when they heard Zhuang Nainai speak. They stared at Si Zhengting.

Then, Si Zhengting looked at Zhuang Nainai as he replied, “She was the one who had said that she didn’t like me anymore and wanted for us to break up. That’s why I left the country.”

After he said that, Zhang Tingting couldn’t help but exclaim, “So, Mr. Si, you were dumped all those years ago?! Who had been stupid enough to do that?!”
