Her eyes lit up instantly. “Is this discount applied to whatever I buy?”
The manager: “…”
Si Zhengting: “…” Why did her naive side… look so cute?

After buying the gown, Zhuang Nainai applied some light and simple make up on herself. Thereafter, she slipped into the evening gown and attended Mr. Liu’s birthday party with Si Zhengting.
Holding the invitation, she entered the venue. While Zhuang Nainai was scanning her surroundings, she noticed that Si Zhengting had suddenly placed his hand over his stomach. He said to Zhuang Nainai, “Excuse me.”
After he finished speaking, he looked around hurriedly. His gaze landed on a place before he rushed there.
Zhuang Nainai: “…”
Now that Xu Dazhi was gone, she had no choice but to wander around on her own.
She walked toward the refreshments area and grabbed a snack casually. She was eating the snack when she heard a few women discussing something. “Are you sure Mr. Si is here today?”
Mr. Si?
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed immediately. She paused for a moment while holding the snack in her hand.
Ever since he fell sick last time, they had never seen each other again.
She had buried him deep inside her heart and never revealed her feelings toward him openly.
However, whenever she’d hear someone else mention him occasionally, her heart would still stir slightly.
She paused for a moment before she resumed eating her snack. At the same time, her ears were still pricked up.
“Yes! Mr. Si would surely be here! He is still the most eligible bachelor in the whole of Beijing!”
“But isn’t Mr. Si married? Isn’t he already a father?”
“So what if he’s a father? The queue to marry Mr. Si stretches all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Let me tell you: do you guys know that Old Mr. Liu has gained a goddaughter recently?”
“We haven’t heard. What does his goddaughter do?”
“Tsk tsk. I shall not ment on this. Just wait and see!”
While Zhuang Nainai was listening to their gossip, someone tapped on her shoulder suddenly. She jumped up in shock. When she turned around, she saw Zuo Yiyi standing behind her.
Zuo Yiyi looked slightly gloomy. “Shameless!”
Zhuang Nainai was confused. “Who are you scolding?”
Zuo Yiyi scorned. “Who else? Have you not seen Liu Huawei’s goddaughter?”
Zhuang Nainai was taken aback. “No, I haven’t!”
As Zuo Yiyi looked at the dazed and confused Zhuang Nainai, she felt slightly irked by how slow she was. Thereafter, she dragged her toward one side, pointed at a lady who was interacting with a group of people, and said, “There. She is the goddaughter of Mr. Liu, Liu Xinshui.”
Zhuang Nainai looked toward the direction she was pointing at. She was slightly taken aback.
Liu Xinshui was very pretty. In particular, her big eyes looked very bright, with a hint of craftiness. It was obvious that this girl was truly clever.
She looked even more adorable when she smiled. Her cheeks were full and smooth. She had some baby fat, but she looked adorable.
However, Zhuang Nainai was more befuddled precisely because of how she looked.
This was because her first impression of Liu Xinshui was that she looked a lot like… the 18-year-old her.
Yes, 18-year-old her.
When Zhuang Nainai saw how she looked like and thought of how Old Mr. Liu recognized her as his goddaughter, something dawned on her suddenly!
She did not know why, but sadness and confusion overwhelmed her!
Just then, a motion erupted near the entrance.
She turned around, only to see Si Zhengting striding into the venue! Meanwhile, the moment he walked in, Liu Xinshui’s eyes lit up as she rushed over to wele him!
When Si Zhengting saw Liu Xinshui, his eyes narrowed. He stopped in his tracks and froze on the spot.
