Hello, Heir Chapter 376 - He Loved Silently (6)

Su Yanbin said, “Erm, boss… all the shopping malls are closed at this time…”

Si Zhengting cast a glance at Su Yanbin that made him shut up immediately.

Su Yanbin drove Si Zhengting to a large mall operated by the Imperial Group.

A single call from Si Zhengting made the mall supervisor jump out of bed to meet him.

Si Zhengting picked out a ladies’ laptop.

After making such a fuss just for the laptop, he returned to the company, installed the design software that Zhuang Nainai was used to, then pa.s.sed the laptop to the already-groggy Su Yanbin.

Si Zhengting pa.s.sed a USB flash drive to him. “Inside…”

Si Zhengting spoke up to here, then paused.

He thought of her pallor when he had pa.s.sed her the design drafts earlier in the day — it was obvious that she had misunderstood him.

How could he have insulted her regarding the design drafts?

He had simply thought of how tired she had been, and, recalling what the old traditional Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner had said about her weak body and need for more rest, had just wanted to help her cheat. Cheat, just like how he had let her copy his answers during their examinations in their high school days.

He really hadn’t thought that far…

Having thought this, he retracted the flash drive and put it away in his pocket, Su Yanbin’s curious gaze following him. “Nothing,” he blandly said.

As he said this, he suddenly recalled the body checkup that Zhuang Nainai had gone for some time ago. The results should be out by now, right? he thought.

He lowered his head and took out his cell phone. Just as he was about to make a call to Ji Chen, he got a call from s.h.i.+ Jinyan.

His heart sank and his gaze turned cold. “How is it?”

“I’ve gone a whole round, and we’ve fixed our attention on a few islands. We’ll have to slowly eliminate the possibilities one by one, which will take some time.” s.h.i.+ Jinyan’s voice was calm. “The call time between you and her was too short, so it’s impossible for us to detect an exact location.”

Si Zhengting grunted. A few moments pa.s.sed before he asked, “Is she… okay?”

“There shouldn’t be anything life-threatening; she probably ran into some trouble, that’s all.” s.h.i.+ Jinyan’s tone was thick with worry. “These islands are really popular among adventurers, and there are lots of visitors.”

Si Zhengting heaved a sigh of relief. “Then that’s good.”

After putting down the phone, glad that Si Jingyu’s situation was optimistic, Si Zhengting forgot about Zhuang Nainai’s health checkup report.

The presence of a peeper two days ago made Zhuang Nainai and Lin Xi’er unable to sleep well.

As Zhuang Nainai drew the design drafts, Lin Xi’er sporadically opened her eyes to check on her. It was not until two in the morning that she managed to fall asleep.

The next day at seven in the morning, Zhuang Nainai’s alarm clock rang.

Lin Xi’er rubbed her bleary eyes just as Zhuang Nainai got up and took Lin Xi’er’s keys. “I’m going to get your laptop, okay?” she said.

Having said this, she opened the door and left the house. Just as she did, she spotted a car at the street entrance.

She was immediately confused. Wasn’t that Su Yanbin’s car?

Zhuang Nainai knocked on the car window. A few moments pa.s.sed before the car window rolled downwards, revealing Su Yanbin’s sleepy face. His eyes were narrowed as if he had just woken up. After seeing that it was Zhuang Nainai, he seemed to have realized something, then pa.s.sed a laptop to her. “Here, this is for you.”

Zhuang Nainai stared at the notebook, stunned. Unable to resist, she asked, “This… who gave this to me?”
