The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness Chapter 125 Solicitous

125 Solicitous
She just shrugged innocently and said indifferently, “But I’ve already come back with an umbrella, haven’t I?”
Yi Zheng gritted his teeth and glared at her. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said helplessly, “Alright, I was late this time. I’ll pay attention next time.”
“That’s your business.” Shi Man took the backpack from Shi Mu with a frown and nodded at Shen Xian. “Mom, I’ll go back to my room to take a bath first. I’ll go downstairs for dinner.”
“Okay.” Shen Xian could naturally tell that her daughter and Yi Zheng were at daggers drawn.
Even if Yi Zheng was her good friend’s son, she would not hesitate to side with her daughter. She thought that her daughter just didn’t want to see Yi Zheng, so she didn’t force her to stay and let her do whatever she wanted.
Seeing Shi Man walk up the stairs, Yi Zheng did not receive the explanation he wanted, so there was naturally no need to stay. He stood up and was about to leave.
Shen Xian looked at the heavy rain and the foggy street outside and said worriedly, “The rain is too heavy. Why don’t you stay here for a while and leave when the rain eases up?”
After all, he was her best friend’s son. Although Shen Xian did not expect him to make her daughter happy, she could not let anything happen to him.
Yi Zheng glanced at the time on his watch and sat back on the sofa. “Then I can only continue to inconvenience Aunt Shen.”
“Don’t stand on ceremony.” Shen Xian instructed someone to pour hot water for Yi Zheng again. Then, she raised her hand to call out to Shi Mu, who was still standing at the door with an unfriendly expression. “Come and sit. Why are you standing there?”
“I won’t sit if he sits.” Shi Mu raised her head delicately and followed Shi Man up the stairs arrogantly.
“This child is actually fooling around.” Shen Xian vaguely knew that Shi Mu did not like Yi Zheng, so she did not force him to stay. She could only smile and say, “Shi Yu will be back soon. Now that we can see that both of you have a successful career, your mother and I can be at ease.”
“Aunt Shen,” Yi Zheng said tentatively, “Actually, Manman is more outstanding than her brothers.”
“Aiya, Xiao Zheng, have you finally realized how good my baby is?” Shen Xian smiled proudly and couldn’t help but praise her proudly. “Manman has been especially smart since she was young. I heard that she got first place in the cohort again in this exam. Oh right, I heard from He that Manman’s cooking is especially delicious.”
Shen Xian kept praising her precious daughter. She really treated Shi Man as her pride from the bottom of her heart. She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows and hint, “Moreover, my Manman is especially daring. When she likes someone, she would do so without holding back. If she gives up, no one can change her mind. Don’t you think so, Xiao Zheng?”
Yi Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded. “Aunt Shen is right. I didn’t cherish Manman in the past.”
Although he said that, Yi Zheng knew very well that he was saying this to make Shen Xian happy.
In his heart, it was very clear that he did not decide to win her heart back because Shi Man had given up on him. Instead, he liked the current Shi Man, so he wanted to renew the engagement.
When did this special feeling start? Yi Zheng had thought about it carefully. Perhaps it was from the day Shi Man saved Su Tang from the criminals that he clearly sensed the change in Shi Man and began to want to understand her seriously.
He did not like the little girl who used to follow him, but the ruthless leader who had changed drastically and held Immaculate in her hands.
The rain outside finally stopped. When Shi Yu rushed home, half of his shirt was already drenched.
Shen Xian hurriedly instructed someone to fill his bathtub with hot water. She then took a towel and raised her hand to dry his hair.
Shi Yu took the towel and did it himself. His gaze passed his mother and landed on the man sitting on the sofa behind him. “Why are you here?”
“I’m here to see Manman,” Yi Zheng said frankly.
Shi Yu sneered and rolled his eyes. As he wiped his hair, he returned to his room to take a bath and change his clothes.
By the time he reached the bottom of the stairs, the food was on the dining table.
Today, Shi Ke and Shi Zhong had gone on a business trip to Lin City and would only be back tomorrow. Because Shi He had to film and had encountered a rainstorm, he would probably sleep in the hotel arranged by the production team.
Therefore, only Shen Xian and the three children ate dinner together. Now, there was also Yi Zheng.
She instructed someone to go upstairs to greet Shi Man and Shi Mu for dinner. However, Yi Zheng stood up solicitously and suggested, “I’ll go, Aunt Shen.”
Shen Xian nodded in a daze and agreed to his request.
Upstairs, Shi Man was taking a comfortable bath in the bathtub when she suddenly heard an unfamiliar rhythmic knock on the door. She immediately got up and put on a towel. She pushed open the bathroom door coldly and stood behind the door, asking expressionlessly, “Who is it?”
Yi Zheng stood on the other side of the door and said in a low voice, “It’s me.”
