26 I Don't Eat Breakfast

The employees of the Imperial Group rushed out to the entrance and stood in lines to welcome their boss.

The car came to a halt. Si Zhengting alighted. Zhuang Nainai, who had been half asleep minutes before, was instantly alert.

The man's towering figure exuded an air of majesty and authority.

His face was, as always, expressionless. His cool nonchalance made it look like he cared for no one and nothing in the world.

The sun shone upon him, shrouding him in golden rays and heightening the mysterious and noble aura around him.

Si Zhengting looked down to check the time and slightly paused. His gaze swept surreptitiously across Zhuang Nainai before he strode into the building.

He is so… handsome!

Zhuang Nainai's heart rate soared. He was even more charismatic and attractive than five years ago.

Clutching her breakfast bento, she rushed forward before he could enter the building.

"Mr. Si!"

Zhuang Nainai shouted, but Si Zhengting pretended not to hear and kept up his pace.

Zhuang Nainai panicked. She wanted to run to him, but the bodyguards stood in her way.

They were always in her way – Zhuang Nainai was beyond annoyed.

"Damn! Get out of my way!"

Zhuang Nainai ordered and slammed her body onto the two bodyguards.

She did not want to forsake her image the previous two times. But now, there's no time to dither. What would happen to Mother if she did not get anything done?

Zhuang Nainai clenched her teeth. She refused to believe she could not make it through!

With one hand tightly clutching her bento box, she clawed the first bodyguard with her free hand and kicked the other in the crotch. Her moves shocked the executive assistant Ji Chen.

Wow.

Ms. Zhuang was indeed a tough lady!

Both bodyguards did not see that coming and moved away, emptying a space between them. Zhuang Nainai took her chance and charged forward.

The bodyguards were stunned and instinctively reached for her arm. However, they caught a strange look that Ji Chen cast them and loosened their grip.

Zhuang Nainai was struggling to get free when they suddenly let go. Unable to stop herself surge forward, she fell right into Si Zhengting's arms under the gawking eyes of everyone around them.

Si Zhengting stopped in his tracks and looked at the girl in his arms. Her silky hair brushed across his face, and he was momentarily stunned.

The familiar manly vibes filled Zhuang Nainai's mind, and she could think of nothing else.

After a short while, she finally snapped out of her daze and hurriedly took a step back. Blushing and feeling a little awkward, she gave a cough and arranged her face in a sweet smile. "Si Zhengting, look I've prepared a breakfast bento for…"

Before she could finish her sentence, he stepped back and his gaze rested on her head for a second. In a low emotionless voice, he said, "I don't eat breakfast."

He then rounded and walked past her.

Zhuang Nainai was confounded. Why did she sense a tinge of sadness in those words?

Coming back to her senses, she was about to give chase, but Si Zhengting's bodyguards easily obstructed her way with one hand.

Splat!

The bento box in her hands fell to the ground, its contents spilling.

Zhuang Nainai froze.
