The man on the sofa did not move, but everyone around him relaxed at the sound of the car.

They all breathed a collective sigh of relief.

The butler smiled. “Sir, Madam works near the Zhongguan, she is probably late due to the bad traffic jam on the road, it’s quite expected.”

Si Zhengting shot him a cold glance and loosened his necktie. “Uncle Lee, you talk too much.”

Even though it was a reproach, the butler caught the element of ease and lightness in those words. He laughed and continued, “Yes, I do talk too much, this is the first meal you and Madam are having together at home, I will go check on the dishes.”

He was about to turn to the kitchen when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps enter the house. The butler looked up curiously and saw the driver enter with his head hanging low.

The butler looked behind him and, on not finding Zhuang Nainai, enquired, “Where’s Madam? Why are you back alone?”

The chauffeur replied in a low voice. “Sir, I went to Madam’s office and the agency said that she had resigned in the morning. I don’t know where Madam had gone to...”

Resigned?

Si Zhengting’s eyes darkened at his words and an ominous aura instantly surrounded him. He knitted his brows but his dark face betrayed no expression. The driver caught his glance and looked down, frightened.

His heavy gaze finally rested on the butler after a while. “Uncle Lee, when did I allow her to go to work?”

The butler broke out in cold sweat. He did not allow that, but he also did not forbid it! How could he stop Madam from going to work if she insisted?

But he dared not mutter these thoughts.

He lowered his head and replied, “Sir, that is my fault, I will call Madam now and ask where she is. Xiao Chen will bring her home right away.”

Bring her home?

Si Zhengting did not speak. The butler quickly dialed for Zhuang Nainai on his phone.

The phone was silent for a while and a sweet voice sounded, “Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available...”

Si Zhengting caught the voice message from the butler’s phone. He stood up abruptly and called Zhuang Nainai on his own phone.

At that instant, Si Zhengting remembered how she left him five years ago, and how she was planning on leaving Beijing on a train just days earlier.

That was his oversight. He thought he could bind her with marriage and she would stay. But... she had hated him so much that she could not stand living in the same city as him.

Sadness and pain shot through his body and a burning rage consumed him. Si Zhengting clenched his fists tightly and smashed the phone on the ground.

Splat!

The phone broke into pieces. The crisp sound reminded him of something.

He walked out towards the door in big strides, a determined look shining through his dark eyes.

Zhuang Nainai, so you think you can run?

From the moment I branded you with my mark, you can never escape from me anymore!

Right then, a petite head emerged from the doorway.

Si Zhengting froze when he saw the small head peering in.

The butler who was close behind Si Zhengting noticed the pause in his footsteps and followed his line of sight. His tense body relaxed and great relief washed through him upon seeing Zhuang Nainai looking into the house.
