As soon as Zhuang Nainai finished speaking, the three women in the backseat fell silent.

Zhuang Nainai spotted their busybody gazes through the rearview mirror.

During the 100th Year Anniversary Celebrations, Si Zhengting had first asked Zhuang Nainai for a dance, then had helped prove Zhuang Nainai’s innocence. Just earlier in the day, he had ordered takeout, and now they were going for a dinner he was treating them to… Everyone had begun guessing what the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them was long ago.

Zhuang Nainai had no intention of responding to their gazes. So she pretended to not have seen anything and began to toy with her cell phone.

Soon, they reached the seafood restaurant. Su Jinhui, in his gentlemanly manner, allowed the ladies to get off first before going to park the car. After Zhuang Nainai told the attendants her name, all of them were ushered into a private room by the service staff.

Just as Zhuang Nainai was walking, she suddenly heard a sharp breath. Curious, she lifted her head and saw that Si Zhengting and Ji Chen were walking slowly toward her.

Zhuang Nainai was stunned. Why was he here?

“Hi, Mr. Si!” In the time that she was still stunned, someone had already greeted Si Zhengting. All the coworkers immediately stopped in their tracks and politely waited for him to walk past.

Si Zhengting decorously nodded to them. As he walked by, someone bravely piped up, “Mr. Si, are you also here to have dinner?”

Si Zhengting nodded once more. Just when everyone thought that Mr. Si would surely walk by without another word, Si Zhengting paused in his footsteps and seriously said, “Ji Chen wants to eat the spicy lobsters here.”

Ji Chen, who was following Si Zhengting from behind, was speechless.

The coworker who had piped up was evidently surprised at Si Zhengting’s answer and the sudden attention given to him. Unconsciously, he continued the conversation. “Then, will Mr. Si be eating with us?”

It was but a pleasantry. Which leader would lower himself to have a meal with his employees?

But, unexpectedly, Si Zhengting nodded once again. “Sure.”

Everyone was speechless.

So, Mr. Si, you’re really here for a free meal?

It was not until Mr. Si had actually entered the private room together with everyone that they finally took in the reality that was happening. They weren’t dreaming? They were really having dinner with the big boss?

“Mr. Si, please take your seat!”

Someone cleverly gave Si Zhengting the best seat in the room. Nodding his head, Si Zhengting walked over and sat down without any fuss, and then looked toward Zhuang Nainai.

Immediately, Zhang Tingting said, “Leader Zhuang, since you’re a boss, you can sit beside Mr. Si!”

Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

Up to this point, Zhuang Nainai still couldn’t figure out why he was here.

If it hadn’t been for the formal att.i.tude he had displayed earlier in the morning, Zhuang Nainai would have been wondering by now: was he pursuing her?

But if she were to distance herself from Si Zhengting in front of so many coworkers, everyone would surely sense that something was up.

Zhuang Nainai could only smile and walk over to sit beside Si Zhengting. Su Jinhui, having parked the car, walked into the room just as she sat down. Zhuang Nainai waved to him immediately. “Senior, over here!”

She was unaware of Si Zhengting’s abysmal gaze on Su Jinhui when she had expressed so much excitement in seeing him.

Su Jinhui was just about to walk toward Zhuang Nainai when he felt a wave of cold air sweeping toward him, chilling his back. It was then that he realized that Si Zhengting was sitting beside Zhuang Nainai. Shocked, he raised his brows. “Mr. Si?”
