Shi Man couldn’t help but hold her forehead in her heart. She sat on the sofa with him and said hesitantly, “Actually, I’m not that busy.”
“Huh?” Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows at her.
Shi Man sighed. “I can eat with you after work.”
Yi Zheng smiled, but his face was still expressionless. “That’s it?”
Shi Man widened her eyes slightly and her heart beat faster. “Then what else do you want?”
Yi Zheng deliberated and said, “I heard you watched a movie with someone?”
Now it was Shi Man’s turn to be expressionless. “How do you know?”
Yi Zheng coughed dryly and changed the topic. “You have to accompany me too. Let’s watch the popular movie your brother released recently.”
Shi Man sighed again and said helplessly, “Alright, but you have to wait for me to finish reading the document. There are many things with the new company that I have to be familiar with.”
“Yes, I know. You’re busy.” Yi Zheng leaned on the sofa and picked up a book to read leisurely. He looked like a parent waiting quietly for his child to finish school.
Shi Man ignored him. She got up and was about to return to her desk to continue working when her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
She turned around in surprise, but her body was pulled into a warm embrace. A familiar fragrance assaulted her.
Yi Zheng hugged the person in his arms and lowered his voice. “I can wait for you, but I have to collect payment.”
“What?”
Before Shi Man could finish her question, her lips were suddenly blocked.
Yi Zheng used his actions to resolve the doubts in his heart.
The kiss ended quickly. Only then did he let go of her in a good mood. His eyes curved into crescents. “Alright, I can wait as long as you want now.”
As soon as he said this, he recalled the last time this woman made him wait until midnight. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and warned, “But if it’s too late, I can only go home with you to freeload.”
Shi Man couldn’t believe his thick skin. She widened her eyes and wanted to refute.
Yi Zheng understood the situation and made a concession. “You can come to my house for a meal.”
Shi Man curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him. She turned around and went back to grade the documents, ignoring him.
Yi Zheng chuckled gloomily. Although he was holding a book in his hand, he couldn’t read a word. He stared straight at the woman who was focused on her work.
Shi Man couldn’t stand the disturbance and moved a thick stack of documents to block his vision. Only then did she feel relieved.
After work, Meng Hui entered the office on time to report to Shi Man about the day’s work. Without any other arrangements, she packed up and went home.
Yi Zheng crossed his legs calmly and stared at Shi Man as she moved in front of him step by step. A playful smile appeared in his eyes. “What’s wrong?”
“Where are we going to eat?”
As Shi Man bit her lower lip, her heart was pounding.
Damn it, she had never been so nervous when talking to men in the past. Why was she acting abnormally when she saw Yi Zheng recently?
This was also why she did not want to see Yi Zheng. It was fine if they did not meet, but if they did, she would become abnormal.
Shi Man suspected that she had some strange illness!
Yi Zheng stood up and held her hand. “Get in the car and think about it slowly. From now on, it’s just the two of us.”
Shi Man couldn’t help but blush again. She retracted her gaze as if she had been electrocuted and hurriedly crawled into the elevator.
Unfortunately, the two of them were destined to be troubled by work during their dates.
When Sean called, he looked flustered and anxious. “Boss, the amusement park that just entered the West District was smashed just now.”
At that moment, Shi Man was watching a movie. Yi Zheng’s faint gaze was on her.
She hurriedly bent down and walked out of the cinema. She heaved a long sigh and said, “Have you found out who did it?”
Sean said guiltily, “No, we chased those people all the way to the black market before letting them escape. Boss, could they be from the Wang family? Did they regret transferring the land to us?”
Shi Man frowned and disagreed. “I don’t think so. Wang Zhan is afraid that we will tell on him. Even if he regrets it, he won’t do it so quickly.”
“Then who could it be?” Sean gripped the phone tightly and racked his brain for an enemy, but he had no luck at all.
Shi Man took a deep breath and said, “Is anyone injured at the location? I’ll go over now.”
“A few of them were hit and suffered minor injuries. They’ve already been sent to the hospital.” Sean pursed his lips and a conflicted look flashed across his eyes. “One more thing, Boss. We might have been exposed.”
Shi Man’s heart skipped a beat as she said sternly, “What happened?”
Sean pulled a long face and scratched his messy hair. “It was because of that group of people that they insisted on escaping into the black market. The few of us were in a hurry and chased after them with hats on. We happened to meet the people from Hellgate, but they didn’t seem to recognize us at that time. Otherwise, they might have already fought.”
Last time, when Shi Man pretended to attack Sean and the others, the people of Hellgatc thought that Immaculate had been completely wiped out. Now that they were exposed, even if the other party did not react now, they would come back to their senses later. At that time, they would realize that they had been deceived by her right from the beginning..
