She touched her growling stomach, then grabbed her phone to take a look. Its already half past 11!

Thinking about how she was about to head to the guillotine at two oclock in the afternoon, Zhuang Nainai was startled. She quickly washed herself and was about to go eat when she saw Gu Deshou, Gu Xinghao, and Gu Xingshan were sitting downstairs. The three of them had packed properly and were eating at the dining table.

Seeing Zhuang Nainai, Gu Deshou suddenly waved. Qingyan, quickly come and eat. In a bit, I will send you to the Civil Affairs Bureau together with your brother and sister.

Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt irritable. Did she need to be escorted to the guillotine?

Forget it, shell take things as they go!

Zhuang Nainai looked up and saw a table of dishes. When she walked over to sit down, after the nanny scooped rice for her, she began to wolf down her food.

No matter what happens, she needed to eat her fill. Only then will she have the strength to fight!

Upon seeing how she was acting, the three Gus looked at each other.

Gu Xinghao cocked his eye at Gu Xingshan:From the way shes eating, it doesnt look like shes at a loss. Maybe youre wrong?

Gu Xingshan furrowed her brows, pouting at Gu Xinghao:Well see about that!

They finished eating at 12 oclock. Gu Deshou was driving. There wasnt a traffic jam at all, so they only used an hour to get to the designated Civil Affairs Bureau.

As they were early, they sat in the seats along the hallway to wait.

1:30 p.m.

Gu Xingshan and Gu Xinghao stretched their necks to look outside. Why is Mr. Si not here yet?

Gu Deshou leisurely replied, Theres still half an hour, whats the rush?

Zhuang Nainai lowered her head to stare at the time on her phone.

1:50 p.m.

Gu Xingshan already started smiling. Sis, why arent you worried at all? Are you sure Mr. Si will come or not?

Gu Deshou was a little anxious, tightly pursing his lips.

Zhuang Nainai clenched her fist but continued staring at her phone, not saying a word.

1:55 p.m.

Gu Deshou was already unable to sit still. He stood up, walking to and fro. From time to time, he walked to the entrance to look outside through the glass door.

1:59 p.m.

Gu Deshou fiercely rushed in front of Zhuang Nainai. Qingyan, whats going on?

Gu Xingshan jeeringly said, Dad, this is so obvious, do you need to ask? Mr. Si thinks she isnt worthy!

Gu Xinghao leaned over. I say Gu Qingyan, the marriage news on the news, is it real or fake? Cant you say something? Are you mute?

Bro, do you still need to ask? Its definitely fake. Mr. Si isnt coming, that shows that hes angry! After saying this, she anxiously looked towards Gu Deshou. Dad, we are finished! She tricked Mr. Si, will Mr. Si take out his anger on our Gu Corporation?!

Upon hearing words from the two people, Gu Deshous face immediately turned livid. He stretched out his hand to tightly clutch Zhuang Nainais hand. Gu Qingyan, say, what the hell is going on?!

Whats going on?

Zhuang Nainai looked down at her cell phone, watching as the time on the screen turned from 1:59 to 2:00 p.m.

Her heart suddenly felt empty.

Zhuang Nainai smiled slightly, giving a self-deprecating expression.

She couldve told them the truth before coming to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but she still came.

So Zhuang Nainai, what are you hoping for?

How could he marry her?

One blow after another, was it not enough?

She fiercely jerked her head up, staring at Gu Deshous eyes. Fine, you asked me whats going on, Ill tell you

Just then, the doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau was suddenly pushed open by someone!

The door was pushed open, and someone with a tall stature walked in.

Zhuang Nainai paused what she was saying. The four people uniformly turned back to look and saw the person who came black-suited, mature, and stable, with a gentle and refined aura, it was actually

Executive assistant Ji?!

Gu Xingshan couldnt help calling out aloud.

The way Ji Chen did things was not flattering nor arrogant. At this moment, his gaze went back and forth between Gu Deshou and Zhuang Nainai, sizing them up. Finally, his gaze fell upon Zhuang Nainais wrist.

Gu Deshous hand suddenly relaxed. He walked up with a smile on his face. Executive assistant Ji, why have you come?

Zhuang Nainai was extremely shocked.

Her small rosy mouth was slightly open, and she was staring at Ji Chen in awe, immediately realizing that if Ji Chen was here, then

Zhuang Nainais line of sight went past him, looking behind him with a heart full of anticipation

Her once desolate feelings seemed as if they were granted wings and were about to start soaring.

But there was no one behind Ji Chen.

Where was Si Zhengting?

Smiling slightly, Zhuang Nainai gave a self-deprecating laugh. She definitely thought too much about it.

How could he come?

In her heart, a wave of sourness appeared out of nowhere. Without much effort at all, that feeling started to spread to all parts of her body, making her feel an extreme sadness.

Zhuang Nainai swallowed her saliva, then swallowed down the whimper that was coming out from the opening of her throat, then looked at Ji Chen.

What was he here for?

Could it be Si Zhengting sent Ji Chen here to cancel the engagement?

No!

Thinking about how Mother Zhuang was in Gu Deshous hands, Zhuang Nainai bit her lip.

She absolutely cant sit and await death.

Her black eyes shone and Zhuang Nainai directly rushed in front of Ji Chen.

She reached out to grab Ji Chens arm and softly started, Is it that Mr. Si temporarily has something on and cant make it? Its ok, the registration is not urgent, but this kind of thing can be settled with a phone call. Theres no need for you to come here personally, is there?

While talking, she looked at Ji Chen, seeking for his help:Im begging you, executive assistant Ji, please help me!

Zhuang Nainai had already taken the cues and realized that this executive assistant Jis position in front of Si Zhengting was different from Da Shan, Xiao Shan, and Da Zhuang. Additionally, he didnt seem to have an aversion to her getting close to Si Zhengting?

So, will executive assistant Ji help her now?

Zhuang Nainai didnt even notice that ever since executive assistant Ji was grabbed by her, his body was suddenly stiff and he was instinctively glancing outside at a black car that was parked by the roadside.

Although that black cars windows were shut, through the black reflective glass, Ji Chen could feel a sharp gaze falling on the arm that Zhuang Nainai was grabbing.

In an instant, his arm felt like it was on fire, becoming sizzling hot.

Ji Chen really wanted to immediately push Zhuang Nainai away!

But if he treated her so roughly, wouldnt Sir strip off his skin?

Ji Chen coughed and stepped backwards without leaving a trace, avoiding Zhuang Nainais pulling.

At this time, Gu Xingshans soft voice butted in, Sis, is it that something had cropped up for Mr. Si? Or The engagement is canceled? It couldnt be that Mr. Si no longer likes Sis? The registration takes such a short time, how is Mr. Si not even able to free up this time to come?

After hearing those words, Gu Deshous pupils shrank and he looked towards Zhuang Nainai.

Gu Deshou furrowed his brows. By right, shouldnt Mr. Sis schedule have been arranged long ago? What is this big thing that cropped up suddenly?
