Yi Zheng smiled faintly, but his eyes were very calm. “Alright, you can tell me in advance when you want to go. I’ll pick you up.”
The few of them were chatting awkwardly in the living room downstairs. Shen Xian and Shi Zhong came downstairs holding hands. When they saw the pile of gifts on the table, they immediately smiled and said, “I’m already very happy that you can come. Why did you bring so many things?”
Yi Zheng stood up politely and greeted the two of them before explaining, “These are specialties my mother brought back from a trip. She specially asked me to bring it over for you and Uncle to try.”
“Xiaoxiang is back! Then I’ll go over and talk to her tomorrow.” Shen Xian smiled and invited Yi Zheng to sit down. She let the butler put the things away first before taking the initiative to ask, “You haven’t eaten yet, right? We’re going to eat later. Stay and eat together.”
Yi Zheng lowered his eyes and did not speak. Shi Zhong noticed the abnormality in his expression and glared at Shi Mu. He advised with a friendly smile, “If there’s nothing on in the company, stay. Coincidentally, your Aunt Shen misses you too. Talk to your aunt.”
Only then did Yi Zheng nod in agreement. The three of them chatted happily, isolating the siblings.
Shi Mu was in a worse state. Just now, when Yi Zheng’s expression was a little abnormal, Shi Zhong automatically determined that he had caused trouble and provoked Yi Zheng. Now that his father suddenly glared at him, he was still a little nervous.
The sons of the Shi family were very respectful to their parents. At the age when their peers were rebellious, they were still obedient and sensible. In addition, Shi Zhong had accumulated power for a long time. Even Shi Ke did not dare to disobey his father easily, let alone the mischievous Shi Mu.
Shi Man did not care what Shi Zhong would think. What she was most conflicted about now was her heart that seemed to be unstable suddenly.
After thinking about it, she still felt that the problem was with Yi Zheng. It was as if there was a thorn under her body. She stood up from the sofa and said, “I’ll call Su Tang downstairs for dinner. You guys chat first.”
Shi Zhong and his wife looked back and forth between their daughter and Yi Zheng in surprise. In the end, they couldn’t say anything and let her leave the living room.
In the room, Shi Man suddenly closed the door, afraid that there was a ferocious beast behind her. Her face was solemn as she leaned against the wall and panted.
Su Tang was shocked by her. She hurriedly walked over and tested her forehead worriedly. “What’s wrong? Are you sick?”
Shi Man shook her head and looked from her face to her hand. She swallowed and asked, “What is this?”
Su Tang raised the drawing board in her hand and said with a smile, “A portrait. 1 wanted to draw a family portrait for you as a gift. I didn’t expect you to discover it first.”
Shi Man’s expression softened slightly. Her calm gaze landed on everyone depicted in the pencil. When her gaze landed on the face of the person on the left, her pupils constricted. “Why draw him? He’s not our family.”
Su Tang looked at the drawing board strangely before realizing who she was referring to. She hurriedly explained, “Don’t misunderstand. 1 don’t mean anything else. It’s just that Mom said that she thinks he’s like half her son, so I want to draw him on it too. If you’re unhappy, I can wipe it off immediately!”
She just wanted them to be happy, but if it caused trouble for Shi Man, she would immediately correct it.
Unexpectedly, Shi Man suddenly pressed her hand down. Su Tang frowned in surprise and asked, “What’s wrong? Why don’t I draw another one?”
Shi Man coughed dryly and looked away. She said awkwardly, “No need. Since Mom likes it, just draw it.”
Only then did Su Tang smile happily. She nodded heavily and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll draw this painting with all my heart. However, before I’m done, you must keep this secret for me!”
Shi Man nodded wildly and opened the door in a daze. She looked up and saw Yi Zheng waiting in the corridor.
She suddenly had the urge to flee, but Yi Zheng clearly understood her thoughts. He grabbed her wrist first and brought her to a corner. He placed his arms on her sides and said, “Why are you hiding?”
Shi Man lost her temper and raised her neck to retort aggressively, “Who’s hiding? I’m here to look for Su Tang! Don’t flatter yourself!”
“Is that so?” There was a faint smile on Yi Zheng’s lips. When he was alone with Shi Man, there had never been a lack of this smile on his face, but today, he always revealed an aggrieved expression.
Shi Man didn’t want to look up, but he always had a way to force her to look up at him.
Yi Zheng pinched her chin and his thin lips approached her lips. His eyes held her gaze tightly, and his expression was a little pitiful. “1 don’t like what you just said. Since you don’t have any feelings for me, why don’t you tell me in person and let me stop thinking about you?”
Shi Man stared at him with widened eyes. A moment of shock flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure. “Are you sure?”
Yi Zheng nodded slightly and said, “As long as you say you don’t like me, take it that I lost. The bet will be invalid from now on..”
