Tang Zhe’s current mood could no longer be described with words. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could throw his face on the ground and let the butler step on him a few times to vent his anger.

Seeing the old butler’s meaningful gaze, Tang Zhe’s heart beat to beat a retreat. After sincerely bowing and apologizing, he immediately ran back into the car.

In the living room, Shi Zhong sat on the sofa with a dark expression. He listened carefully to Yi Zheng’s explanation and his expression softened. “We’ve known about your illness for the past few years. Let me find another famous doctor and see if he can treat you completely.”

“No need, Uncle Shi.” Yi Zheng thanked him politely and secretly glanced in Shi Man’s direction. He smiled and said, “I’ve already found someone who can treat me. That person said that he will definitely be able to treat me next time.”

When Shi Zhong heard this, he immediately perked up and could not help but ask in detail, “Who is this person? When you’re free, you can invite him to my house so that I can meet him.”

Yi Zheng pursed his lips and looked troubled. “I’m afraid that person won’t agree. Uncle Shi, don’t worry. I’ll contact him when I get back.”

“Since ancient times, famous doctors have their own strange tempers.” Shi Zhong did not suspect anything and waved his hand with a smile. “Forget it, forget it. Our Shi family doesn’t have any difficult illnesses, so we won’t trouble famous doctors. However, Xiao Zheng, you must remember to treat him well.”

“I know,” Yi Zheng agreed with a smile. He had completely passed the test regarding the matter of staying out last night.

During dinner, Shi Zhong and Yi Zheng were still chatting happily. Shi Zhong drank a lot of wine in his excitement and was sent back to his room by Shen Xian to rest after dinner.

While people were clearing the dining table in the dining room, Yi Zheng grabbed Shi Man’s hand and pulled her aside. He lowered his voice and approached her. “How are you going to thank me?”

Shi Man stared at him in confusion. “Why should I thank you?”

“I helped you cover it up just now.” He smiled evilly and lowered his head. “Miss Shi, you haven’t practiced martial arts, but your marksmanship is superb. You haven’t learned medicine, but you know how to use acupuncture to treat the rare heat, huh?”

His voice was low and magnetic, to begin with. When he deliberately lowered his voice and whispered into her ear, it immediately made her shiver. “If you want to say it, go ahead. No one will believe you anyway.”

Yi Zheng chuckled softly, his eyes gentle and doting. “Alright, alright, alright. Since you’re unwilling to thank me, I’ll ask for a reward myself, alright?”

“What are you going to do… Ugh!”

Caught off guard, her lips were sealed. Shi Man reached out to push him away in shock.

This time, Yi Zheng stopped after a light sip. He kindly let go of her lips and his eyes gradually darkened. “I have a gift for you tomorrow.”

Shi Man pushed him uncomfortably. “I have to go back to school tomorrow. I don’t have time to see you.”

Yi Zheng thought of that item and smiled smugly. “I know. I hope you’ll like it when the time comes.”

Shi Man’s mind was filled with question marks. Just as she was about to ask in detail, she suddenly saw Shi Mu standing at the corner of the corridor in a daze. It was obvious that he had seen their situation clearly.

It was all this damn Yi Zheng’s fault for making her so impatient that she did not even notice that someone was approaching.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She could not help but raise her eyes and glare at him. She pushed him away angrily and ran to Shi Mu’s side. “Brother, are you looking for me?”

Shi Mu came back to his senses and scratched his head gloomily. “Oh, nothing much. I’ll go back to my room first. You guys take your time to chat.”

She thought that Shi Mu would be furious when he saw the scene just now, but she did not expect his reaction to be so calm.

This time, it was Shi Man’s turn to be surprised. She stared at his back thoughtfully.

Yi Zheng consciously put his hand on her waist and pulled her into his arms. He looked at her unhappily. “What are you thinking about?”

Shi Man was thinking about something and did not notice what he had just done. She pursed her lips and said hesitantly, “Don’t you think my brother has been abnormal the entire day?”

Ever since Yi Zheng took the initiative to confess that the two of them had been alone for the entire night, Shi Mu’s reaction had been very wrong.

He was too calm, so calm that he seemed to have become a different person. Shi Man could not help but suspect that he was hiding something from his family.

Yi Zheng pinched her cheek in amusement. “You just realized?”

Shi Man slapped his hand away in pain and said angrily, “I’m talking about serious matters with you.”

“Okay, okay, okay.” Yi Zheng smiled good-naturedly and said, “He might be feeling guilty.”

“Guilty?” Shi Man pointed in the direction Shi Mu had left in disbelief. “You’re talking about my brother? What’s there to be guilty about?”

Yi Zheng sighed. “You didn’t even want to give me a reward just now. Now you’re thinking about getting the information for nothing?”

Shi Man suddenly felt her teeth itch. She narrowed her eyes and endured it. In the end, she was forced by her curiosity to tiptoe and peck his mouth gently. “Can you say it now?”

“Yes, of course.” Yi Zheng smiled satisfactorily and said meaningfully, “I heard that someone else didn’t go home last night..”
