Si Zhengting was driving and, when he heard this, his fingers tightened and his expression soured. Still, he eventually nodded his head. “Let me bring you to take a look at something first.”

Take a look at something?

Zhuang Nainai was instantly curious. What was Si Zhengting going to bring her to see?

Si Zhengting was a man of few words and, coupled with the fact that Zhuang Nainai presently didn’t know what to say to him, the car remained quiet the whole time. It was not until the car had swerved into the Si residence that Zhuang Nainai stretched out her hand to grab hold of Si Zhengting’s wrist, perplexed. “Si Zhengting...”

Why were they back at the Si residence?

He wasn’t trying to play tricks, was he?

Was he trying to play his “domineering and overbearing CEO” card again?

Just as Zhuang Nainai was beginning to let her imagination run wild, she heard him say, “The thing I want to show you is in the house.”

It was only then that Zhuang Nainai let go.

Both of them got out of the car, and Si Zhengting brought her up to the second floor.

This time, they didn’t go into Si Zhengting’s study room. Instead, they went toward a room with permanently closed doors.

When the door opened, Zhuang Nainai realized that it was a storeroom.

The sun was shining brightly into the room. The shelves were orderly, and the paraphernalia were all clean and neat — it was evident that the room was regularly cleaned.

But the housekeeper and the butler were usually denied access to the second floor. So, did that mean... Si Zhengting was the one who did all the cleaning by himself?

Could it be that... Si Zhengting was bringing her to see his “gold mine”?

Zhuang Nainai curled her lips at the thought.

She took a step forward but suddenly stopped in her footsteps as she spotted an eye-catching Hello Kitty toy sitting on one of the shelves. It was pink, a little old, and had obviously been washed countless times. Even the little pink skirt on the toy had been crookedly mended.

This toy...

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed. This was her toy!

It was her birthday present from her mother on her 10th birthday.

She had liked Snow White and lots of other toys, but she had resisted the temptation to buy them as she knew how poor her family was.

When she was seven, her mother had gotten a bonus. In her excitement, her mother had wanted to buy her a cake, but she had disagreed because of how the cake would be gone within a few bites.

Her mother had then decided to buy her a toy and had asked her to take her pick.

Out of all the toys that she liked, she had chosen the one she liked the most.

In the end, it was this Hello Kitty that she had chosen — such was the importance of the toy to her.

When she had grown up and had gone to middle school and high school, she had chosen not to abandon the toy. Instead, the toy became an irreplaceable part of her life.

Because it had been this toy that had accompanied her throughout her childhood.

Every night, she had to hug her Hello Kitty to sleep.

But... what was this toy doing in the hands of Si Zhengting?

Zhuang Nainai curled her lips once more.

That was in the third year of high school, when Si Zhengting had finally accepted her romantic advances. After they had gotten together, she had studied hard in order to be able to get into the same university as him, and then...

And then, very naturally, she had forgotten about his birthday.

She vividly recalled how he had been so happy on that day and how he had repeatedly stared at her.

Then, seeing how she was still silent, he had asked her over and over again if she had forgotten something or another.
