Chapter 170 - 170 Love
170 Love
Shi Man finished the last bite of bread and looked up at him. “I’m going to Yi Zheng’s company at noon.”
“You’ve thought it through?” Shi Ke stared at his sister in disbelief. “Wearing a pink…”
“Alright, alright.” Shi Man quickly interrupted him from reciting that strange outfit again and denied it. “I’m not a fool. Why should I wear that to see him?”
Shi Ke was relieved and followed his sister out of the Shi family manor. He personally opened the car door for her to get into the car before continuing to ask worriedly, “Then have you thought of what you want to say? I’m afraid Yi Zheng won’t give up easily.”
“I’ve thought about it.” Shi Man suddenly had an idea just now and remembered that someone might be able to help her.
Seeing his sister’s confident look, Shi Ke was slightly relieved. After sending her to the school gate, he instructed carefully, “If anything happens, contact me at any time. I’ll rush over immediately to help you.”
“Yes, I will.” Shi Man nodded lightly and turned to walk into the teaching building.
The morning’s class passed slowly in boredom. As soon as the lunch break bell rang, Shi Man asked Su Tang to go to the canteen alone to eat without waiting for her. Then, she rushed out of the classroom alone and quickly walked to the door of the next school building, quietly waiting for the person who walked out.
Yuan Yi did not expect Shi Man to wait for him here personally. He was flattered and walked up to her. He narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Manman, do you miss me especially because you didn’t see me for the entire day yesterday?”
Shi Man sneered, grabbed his arm, and walked out.
Yuan Yi followed her in confusion. Sensing the curious gazes of the students around him, he suddenly felt possessive. He deliberately leaned close to Shi Man’s ear and lowered his voice, pretending to be intimate. “You’re openly tugging at me in public. Can’t wait to tell everyone that you’ve fallen for me?”
Shi Man stopped in her tracks and looked at the especially thick-skinned man in front of her speechlessly. She said coldly, “I don’t like you, but the way you spoke just now was not bad.”
“Huh?” Before Yuan Yi could be saddened by her decisive denial, he was confused by the latter half of her sentence. “What way of speaking?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yi saw her curl her finger at him. He couldn’t help but lean over. Only then did Shi Man lower her voice and imitate him with a smile. “That’s right. No matter who you see later, you have to talk to me like this, understand?”
Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows and stared at Shi Man meaningfully. “Manman, are you willing to be close to me?”
Shi Man ignored him. The more this person ignored him, the more he would take advantage of her. She simply grabbed his arm and dragged him to the parking lot. “Which car is yours?”
Yuan Yi innocently pointed at a silver-white car in the middle. “What’s wrong?”
Shi Man looked up at him expressionlessly. “Drive and accompany me to Yi Zheng’s company.”
“Give me a reason?” Yuan Yi thought that she might really need him now. He slowly walked to the car but refused to open the door.
Shi Man did not mind his attitude. After all, she should make things clear before asking someone for help. Hence, she stared at him coldly and said, “I want Yi Zheng to give up. You don’t have to do anything. You just have to speak like before.”
Yuan Yi was instantly overjoyed. He nodded in realization. “Manman, are you making him think that we’re already in love and retreat? You should have said so earlier! Leave this to me. I’ll definitely make Yi Zheng disappear from your sight!”
Shi Man narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that while she was dealing with a problem, she had inadvertently gotten herself into another one.
However, Yuan Yi was better than Yi Zheng. At the very least, he would not easily destroy the entire Shi family.
Along the way, Yuan Yi asked Shi Man excitedly about her opinion of Yi Zheng. After receiving her answer that she didn’t like Yi Zheng, his long and narrow eyes were filled with smiles.
Shi Man really didn’t know what he was so happy about. Didn’t she say that she didn’t like him just now?
However, in order to ensure that the effect would be better after a while, Shi Man did not make a sound to dispel his enthusiasm. She tolerated his noise and drove to Yi Zheng’s company.
In the hall on the first floor, it was lunchtime. There were only a few people left in the company.
The young lady at the front desk was wearing the company’s uniform and scrolling through her phone in boredom. She was caught off guard when she heard footsteps at the door. She thought that it was a colleague who had returned to change shifts, but when she looked up, she saw Shi Man who had completely changed her appearance!
Even if Shi Man had been unreasonable in the past and many people looked down on her in private, she was not someone an ordinary employee like her could afford to offend. Therefore, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only stand up obediently and say respectfully, “Hello, Miss Shi. The CEO is working. Please wait a moment. I’ll help you contact Secretary Tang.”
