âClank!â The iron gates were closed again.
Outside the door, everyone became silent suddenly.
Amid the odd atmosphere, Zuo Yiyi patted Zhuang Nainaiâs shoulders. âDonât worry. You will forever be Brother Tingâs one and only. So, even though Brother Ting might not want to see anyone of us here, he wouldnât be able to bear to turn you away.â
Wouldnât he?
Zhuang Nainai lowered her head and remained silent.
Why wouldnât he?
When they first got married, she went to look for him after they had had an argument. Wasnât she refused entry by his bodyguards?
She tried to force out a smile while her eyes were fixed on the iron gates. Unknowingly, she felt very anxious.
After waiting for some time, they heard footsteps nearing. Zhuang Nainaiâs gaze immediately shifted to the side gate.
The side gate opened, revealing the housekeeperâs face. Under everyoneâs eager gaze, she looked rather apologetic.
Zhuang Nainaiâs heart sank when she saw that expression on her face. Then, she heard her say, âMs. Zhuang, Iâm sorry, but Iâm... not allowed to let you in.â
Not allowed to let her in?
Not allowed to let her in?!!
Zhuang Nainai only felt that those words were so heartbreaking, they could tear her heart into shreds, just like when she heard âsave the children.â She felt like something was broken inside her, causing her extreme pain. The pain was enough to make her bend down.
She clenched her fists tightly and bit her lip.
Next to her, Zuo Yiyi was stunned by what the housekeeper had said. She rushed to the iron gates suddenly. The housekeeper was so surprised that she reeled and closed the door, only leaving a small crack for them to carry out the conversation.
Zuo Yiyi looked at the small housekeeper in disbelief. âDid you tell Brother Ting that Zhuang Nainai is looking for him? How is it possible that Brother Ting doesnât want to see Zhuang Nainai?!â
The small housekeeper was extremely frightened by her behavior. Hence, she took two steps back before saying, âMs. Zuo, Iâm sorry. I have conveyed your request very clearly, but they said that-that Ms. Zhuang is not allowed in lest she pesters Sir endlessly.â
Pester endlessly!
Zhuang Nainai could only feel her chest tighten as if it was wrapped tightly with a rope.
Pester endlessly...
Suddenly, she thought of how Zuo Yiyi usually scolded her. Something like shameless and pestering him endlessly...
She did do these to Si Zhengting in high school. She had thought that Si Zhengting treated her differently. But now, how could he say that she was pestering him endlessly?
Staring at the iron gates unwaveringly, she stood in her spot without any movements.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiâer, who was standing beside her, could not say anything after seeing how upset she looked.
Su Yanbin pursed his lips as he looked at Si Zhengting. He sighed inaudibly. Leader Ting... really hurt her this time.
âBam! Bam! Bam!â
Just as everyone was in a state of shock, Zuo Yiyi raised her hands and started hammering against the gates forcefully.
While she banged the gates forcefully, she shouted toward the house, âBrother Ting, your Nainai is here to look for you!â
âBrother Ting, she is clearly still in your heart and you clearly still love her a lot. Why canât you meet her?!â
âBrother Ting, do you hear me? How can you do this?!â
âBrother Ting!â
As Zuo Yiyi hammered the gates, she suddenly burst into tears. She hammered the gates while crying. âBrother Ting, open the door. Talk things out with Nainai face to face! Donât you feel sorry for doing this to Nainai?! Brother Ting, do you hear me?â
