Then she heaved a sigh of relief, as though her mother would really be fine after Si Zhengting had said that she would be fine .
Her rationality slowly returned to her . Then, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his tie . “Si Zhengting, I want to go to Kentucky and look for my mother!”
As he heard this, Si Zhengting narrowed his long eyes .
A series of complicated emotions flashed past his eyes . However, after he saw Zhuang Nainai's determined gaze, he couldn't bring himself to reject her request .
A couple of sentences that Zhuang Nainai had said before flashed past his mind:
Advertisement“Si Zhengting, what do you take me for?”
“Si Zhengting, if anything happens to my mother, I'll never forgive her!”
Si Zhengting was speechless .
Those sentences stopped him from asking her to stay in the country .
The night was tranquil . He bent over to help her up . Although she was leaning against him in his embrace, she stared at him coolly, intellect shining in her eyes .
In this moment, Si Zhengting felt it once again — they were physically next to each other, but why did the distance between them feel so prominent?
After a moment, he lowered his head . He forced his assent from his cool lips, “Alright . ”
AdvertisementAfter he said this, he pressed his lips together and clenched his jaw, as though he had never spoken . Then, he lowered his head slightly, heaving Zhuang Nainai into his arms . Then he took long strides out of the campus .
He knew that he was the person who was least qualified to leave her behind .
But if he couldn't turn her request down, then he had to make sure that he was sufficiently prepared .
He carried her into the car, then drove off quickly toward the Si residence . On the way, he explained, “The fastest way to get to the state of Kentucky from here is to take a transfer flight . In that case, it'll take us at least a day to get there . I'll request for a private air route so that we can fly there in our private plane from home . ”
If they took their own private jet, it would take only half a day to get to Kentucky .
And it was the method that would inflict the least mental suffering on both of them .
After he said this, Zhuang Nainai nodded . Si Zhengting reached out and gently pushed her head back toward the headrest . “Rest for a little first, we'll leave later tonight . ”

How could Zhuang Nainai possibly fall asleep?
Her heart was torn with anxiety . But she was also pregnant, and there was a limit to her energy . She leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes to rest her overly anxious mind . When she got home, she ate a little of the dinner that the butler had prepared for her . After that, Si Zhengting strongly requested for her to rest upstairs .
Zhuang Nainai lay on the bed . After Si Zhengting was sure that she was getting some rest, he closed the door and walked out .
He made a call to Ji Chen first . “Book me and Nainai tickets to Kentucky . ”
After he hung up, he called air traffic control and the personnel in charge of the helicopters to request for his air route . As it was already quite late, many employees had already gotten off work .
And one usually had to request for these air routes a few days in advance . He had never had to make such an urgent request before .
But after Si Zhengting made numerous phone calls, he finally got hold of Long Qingtian and got the matter settled .

After he was done with these administrative tasks, he slowed down his footsteps and quietly returned to the bedroom . He found Zhuang Nainai sleeping already, perhaps due to how tired she had been from the activities of the day, or perhaps from being pregnant in general .
Her small face had gotten a little more plump after those past few days of nourishment . It seemed as though she was on her way to regaining the baby fat that she had had back in high school .
Her round, full face was full of collagen, and it was as though it was tempting others to squeeze her cheeks .
However, her sweet features were tense and her brow was furrowed . It seemed as though she couldn't rest well even in her sleep .
