Zhuang Nainai anxiously waited for his answer.
She knew that that was wishful thinking and it was all in her head, but she couldn't resist asking the moment she saw the bed.
Si Zhengting halted in his steps. He turned and bore his dark eyes into her.
Zhuang Nainai's heart raced when she caught his gaze. She broke the eye contact and looked down. She held her breath, worried that she might miss anything he said.
A few seconds elapsed before she heard him reply, "What… did you say?"
Zhuang Nainai kept quiet.
Looking into his dark eyes, Zhuang Nainai did not know what to feel. She regretted her rashness the minute she asked and wondered how she could retract her question. But right now, she felt a hint of disappointment when he did not catch her question.
She looked into his cold, unfeeling eyes and could not bring herself to repeat the question.
She swallowed and gave an inaudible sigh. "Nothing."
