“You…” Yi Zheng stared at her in disbelief. He suddenly saw his stunned reflection in her black eyes and suddenly felt a little silly. He chuckled softly.” Have you thought it through? Have you decided to be with me? ”
Shi Man curled her lips slightly. The red wine in the glass was dark red under the light, making her expression even darker and harder to understand.
Yi Zheng felt inexplicably flustered. He held her hand and squeezed out emphasized words from his dry throat. “Have you really decided? Did the interrogation of those people today reveal something?”
“Yes.” Shi Man stared at him, the charm on her face disappearing without a trace. “Yi Zheng, I can consider you the winner of that bet. I will acknowledge your identity, but at the same time, you can’t go back on your word.”
Yi Zheng frowned and said in a low and serious voice, “I understand, Manman. No matter what happens, you have to know that I must be on your side. But I hope you agree to be with me because you’ve completely fallen for me, not for any other reason.”
He had roughly guessed who was behind this. From Shi Man’s attitude, it was not difficult to guess what she planned to do next.
Could it be that she had agreed to a formal relationship with him at this time so that he would not obstruct her revenge?
Yi Zheng smiled bitterly and passed her the steak he had cut. He said with a downcast expression, “Let’s eat first. I’ll accompany you to the hospital to visit Aunt Shen later. We’ll tell her this news.”
“Yes.” Shi Man lowered her head and ate seriously. Neither of them spoke for a moment.
After dinner, Shi Man received a call from Su Tang.
Today, the rest of the Shi family was in charge of helping the displaced people find a temporary place to live and let them spend New Year’s day in peace.
There were many hotels under the Shi family, so this matter was not difficult, so Shi Man did not interfere.
At this moment, Su Tang called to report that her work had been completed.
Shi Man listened quietly and told her that she was going to the hospital later. Su Tang also suggested visiting Shen Xian, but she would only arrive later.
When she hung up, Shi Man turned around unintentionally and looked at the source of the gaze that had been staring at her.
Seeing the young lady who had confessed her mistake in the private room just now, Shi Man smiled politely at her and left the cafeteria with Yi Zheng.
Shen Xian was a little tired today. She had heard that too many people were injured, so many people came to the hospital one after another to ask about her well-being.
Shen Xian dealt with them for an entire day before sending them all away. At this moment, she only wanted to lie in bed and quietly eat the food Shi Zhong fed her.
When Shi Man arrived, Shen Xian had just finished a small plate of fruits. There were still sparkling water droplets at the corner of her mouth.
“You’re here. Have you had dinner?” Shen Xian asked the two of them with concern. Her gaze paused on their linked hands for a moment before she looked at the man beside her knowingly. “Looks like we’re going to have good things in pairs.”
Shi Man smiled and let go of Yi Zheng’s hand. She sat by Shen Xian’s bed and asked curiously, “Mom, what else is good?”
Shi Zhong was very happy that the two of them could get together. The usual seriousness on his face faded as he smiled and said, “The doctor said that your mother’s arm has recovered well. She can go home to recuperate in a few days.”
“Oh, right.” Shi Zhong suddenly looked up and said meaningfully, “The doctor said to let the patient’s family go over to get the medicine. I haven’t had the time yet. Help me get it.”
“Okay.” Shi Man stood up and walked out.
Yi Zheng raised his hand to stop her. “I’ll go. Stay here and accompany Aunt Shen.”
“Let Shi Man go.” Shi Zhong looked over with a serious expression.
Yi Zheng could only make way helplessly, but he still instructed worriedly, “Be careful. Call me if anything happens.”
Shen Xian couldn’t help but want to laugh when she saw their interaction.
Yi Zheng was indeed very similar to Shi Zhong back then. As long as the person in his heart took a step away, he would be afraid.
“I’m just going to get the medicine. What can happen?” Shi Man gave him a reassuring look and left the ward.
Shi Zhong deliberately sent her away. He must have something to say to Yi Zheng alone. After she took the medicine, she sat in the courtyard for a while to empty her mind. It was rare for her to have a comfortable rest.
Who knew that she could be disturbed in such a secluded corner of the hospital?
Jiang Sheng was wearing a dazzling purple shirt and holding a bouquet of gorgeous roses in his hand. He smiled and handed it to her. “Miss Shi, what a coincidence. It seems that we’re really fated to meet in the hospital.”
Only he would be stupid enough to think that she would believe such a lousy chance encounter.
Shi Man snorted and opened her eyes lazily.. She said expressionlessly, “Coincidentally, you came to the hospital to check your brain?”
