Hello, Heir Chapter 448 - He Doesn't Want to Miss Another Five Years (6)

“I don’t want to miss another five years…”

That one sentence made Zhuang Nainai freeze.

Dumbstruck, she stared at him, suddenly realizing that, no matter how many suitors had chased after her all these years, she had never been able to walk out on her past. She had even entertained the idea of remaining single for the rest of her life and growing old alone.

But life had made them meet once more, and they had even become husband and wife…

Zhuang Nainai immediately felt her eyes reddening, and her feelings of hesitation began to waver.

Could she really bear to leave him?

Perhaps after leaving him, she would never again love and miss someone like how she loved and missed him…

At the thought of this, she wrinkled her nose. Did she really want to return to that five-year period, where everything seemed so heartless?

Just as she was hesitating, she felt his hand tightly gripping hers. He was simply looking ahead, his face stoic. She, on the other hand, stared down at their intertwined hands, unsure of what to do.

It was a few moments before she heard him say, “I’m not going to force you. You can think about it.”

She, think about it?

Think about what?

Think about whether they should be together?

Zhuang Nainai swallowed and lowered her head, sighing.

She stayed silent, her heart in turmoil.

Both of them were quiet all the way to Chicago.

Si Zhengting had left in a rush this time around. He didn’t have much money with him, and neither did he have his bodyguards with him — even Ji Chen was a.s.signed back at the Imperial Group to oversee things. As they walked together, they now seemed like an ordinary couple without the usual airs.

He held her hand tightly, refusing to let go.

He knew she was anxious about her flight, so he had quickly bought them tickets to Kentucky and had waited in the departure lounge.

He followed Zhuang Nainai wherever she went until people began staring at them.

Being more open, the Americans began chatting them up and pa.s.sing comments.

“h.e.l.lo, you two seem really compatible!”

“Are you two in the dating stage?”

“Both of you are so cool-looking!”

Every time someone came up to talk to them, Si Zhengting answered them in English. In the beginning, she had difficulty catching what he said, but she soon caught hold of a few keywords here and there, like “wife,” “honeymoon,” and “grow old together.” Putting everything together, it could only mean one thing: “She is my wife, we’re here on our honeymoon, and we’re going to grow old together.”

Having heard all of this, Zhuang Nainai felt her face warming up, and she quickly lowered her head.

She had no idea how to describe what she was feeling; something warm and sweet was flowing through her body.

Actually, there were times he expressed his love openly… but why was it that they just couldn’t be together?

All sorts of feelings criss-crossing in her heart made her sigh. Putting everything to the back of her mind, she had just calmed down when she heard him say, “Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?”

Zhuang Nainai raised her head upon hearing the warmth in his voice. Stunned, she nodded her head.

As Si Zhengting stood up and walked out, his handsome gait and silhouette made her feel like her eyes just weren’t enough to take everything in.
