“Yi Zheng.” Shi Man’s eyes were dark as she looked at the man in front of her with special focus. “I’m not ready to spend the rest of my life with someone. 1 admit that I have a lot of good feelings for you, but I don’t think this good feeling alone can support us for the rest of our lives.”
Yi Zheng seemed to have expected her to say this. There was no disappointment on his face. Instead, there was a hint of certainty. “But you’ve never had such a good impression of anyone other than me, right?”
“Yes, I admit that too.” Shi Man had never liked any man.
She had been a walking killing machine in the past. Her first friendship had been given to Su Tang, and her first love had been given to him.
Yi Zheng smiled in satisfaction, and his voice was relaxed and happy. “That’s why I’m the most likely candidate to be with you for the rest of my life. Moreover, you were the one who said that I won this bet. I don’t believe that you will fall in love with someone else when you like me.”
“So your choice can only be me,” he said especially firmly. For a moment, Shi Man, who was thinking clearly, could not help but be stunned.
For a moment, she could even hear her manic heartbeat.
She was indeed tempted. She had only delayed it until now because she wanted to be extremely careful with her feelings.
Shi Man lowered her eyes and thought for a while.
Yi Zheng stood quietly in front of her and accompanied her. The longer he waited, the more tormented he felt.
It was not until the air gradually became tense that he sighed. Just as he was about to find a way out for himself, he heard Shi Man’s cold voice suddenly sound in his chest.
“Okay, I’ll agree to be engaged to you, but I still have to think about getting married. If you’re unwilling to wait, then let’s… Hmm?” Before she could finish, he pulled her into his arms.
His chin rested gently on her shoulder, and his large palm on her back sent her his warmth.
Yi Zheng felt that the huge rock that had been pressing on his heart had suddenly been moved away. His body and mind were so light that he could float at any time.
He hugged the person in his arms as if he was holding a rare treasure, and his eyes lit up. “Thank you. Thank you for being willing to give me this chance. 1 will spend the rest of my life proving to you that your choice is definitely not wrong.”
“Alright, I’ll wait and see.” For some reason, Shi Man felt relieved after saying this.
When her nerves relaxed, sleepiness gradually crept into her mind. She couldn’t help but yawn, and there were still crystal-clear tears in the corners of her eyes.
Yi Zheng smiled and held her face, drying her tears. Just as he was about to say something, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them in the room stopped abruptly. Shi Man glared at the door with an unfriendly expression and saw Shi Zhong staring at them with a straight face. “It’s getting late. Why don’t you talk tomorrow?”
Yi Zheng nodded in amusement. He let go of Shi Man and walked to the door. “Uncle, I’m done talking. I was just about to leave.”
“Yes.” Shi Zhong sized him up warily and looked suspiciously at Shi Man’s clothes before making way for her. “Let’s go. I’ll get Butler Qi to arrange a guest room for you.”
“Okay.” Yi Zheng looked like an obedient son-in-law. Before he left, he winked at Shi Man and mouthed “goodnight” before leaving with Shi Zhong.
Shi Man couldn’t help but laugh at his pitiful appearance. She looked down and saw the ruby in her hand. She subconsciously reached out to touch it. When she came back to her senses, she sneered at herself for being childish.
She washed up, slept, and emptied her mind. She no longer thought about what had happened tonight, but the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.
When Lu Xiang and Su Tang returned, it had not even been a month. However, the Shi family’s mission was difficult and they had started preparing early. The house was empty again, and only Bai Xue and Su Tang stayed at home to accompany Shen Xian.
One of them was preparing for the upcoming entrance examination, and the other was drawing costume designs every day. Their days were quite fulfilling.
However, Shen Xian was very free every day. Her arm had not fully recovered, so she could not do anything. She could only watch the television and wait to watch her son’s television drama. Other than that, she lay on the sofa and slept.
When Lu Xiang entered with a few large boxes of gifts, she saw Shen Xian lying lazily on the sofa, eating peeled nuts.
When Shen Xian saw her return, she almost jumped up from the sofa. She smiled in surprise. “You’re back so soon? I thought you were going to play for a few more days!”
“I’m just thinking about your injuries.” Before Lu Xiang left, she went to the hospital to see Shen Xian. If her son hadn’t crazily hinted at her to leave G City as soon as possible so that he could naturally celebrate the New Year with the Shi family, she wouldn’t have abandoned Shen Xian and gone out to play with her family.
This time, she even specially brought the medicine prescribed by an expert from overseas. She carefully held Shen Xian’s arm and looked at it carefully a few times. She sighed and said, “Our Yi family has let you down this time.” Shen Xian teased her in amusement, “What are you talking about? What has this got to do with your family?”
