Jiang Sheng’s expression changed slightly. He awkwardly took back the roses and sat beside her impolitely. “Don’t say that, Miss Shi. 1 haven’t seen you for a long time. 1 miss you very much.”

“Oh.” Shi Man leaned back in the wooden chair disinterestedly and closed her eyes gently.

Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment and was about to continue getting close to her when he heard Shi Man’s distant voice. “Sit further away. The smell of your inferior perfume is too strong. I hate it.”

Jiang Sheng’s face turned pale. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the bouquet, but he was accidentally pricked by the spikes that had not been cleaned. He gasped in pain and said aggrievedly, “Miss Shi, I’m bleeding. Open your eyes and take a look!”

“Aren’t you annoying?” Shi Man opened her eyes in disgust and glanced at him. She looked down on his weak appearance and said impatiently, “That bit of blood won’t kill you. Stop groaning. If you can’t calm down, I don’t mind pulling out your tongue.”

Jiang Sheng suddenly shrank his neck and hurriedly shut his mouth. He blinked in disbelief.

Wasn’t Missy’s change too big now?

Previously, when he saw on the news that she was participating in the event location rescue, he was already shocked. However, he could not rule out the possibility of her putting on a show. After all, which young lady of an aristocratic family was not pampered? Who could really do those dirty and tiring jobs?

But now that he saw Shi Man, he suddenly believed that news.

Shi Man was really different from before. Not only did she know about armaments, but she could also rise to the occasion at a critical moment.

The wind whistled through the snowy night, but he didn’t seem to feel cold. All he could hear was the sound of his heart beating wildly.

What should he do? He seemed to want such a bold young lady more and more.

A snowflake fell and stuck to Shi Man’s long eyelashes. Jiang Sheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Just as he was about to reach out and brush the snowflake away, a hand reached out from the side first. His wrist was caught off guard and tightened, causing him to gasp in pain.

“Damn it, who is it? It hurts!”

Jiang Sheng cursed fiercely. When he looked up and saw a handsome face that was as black as the bottom of a pot, he subconsciously shivered. “President Yi!”

“If you don’t want this arm anymore, I can cripple it for you.” Yi Zheng pinched his wrist and suddenly tightened his grip. In the silent snowy night, one could hear the sound of bones breaking.

Jiang Sheng’s expression was twisted in pain. The roses in his hand fell to the ground weakly and were trampled into the mud by Yi Zheng.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ll leave immediately.” He hurriedly apologized. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face instantly turned pale.

Only then did Yi Zheng let go. He took out a tissue to dry his hands in disgust and said coldly, “Get lost.”

“Get lost, get lost. 1’11 get lost immediately.” He took one last look at Shi Man indignantly and rushed into the hospital in a sorry state.

This time, he was probably really going to look for a doctor!

Shi Man raised her eyebrows and looked at the man above her in surprise. A reassuring smile appeared on her lips. “Why are you here? What did my parents say to you?”

“They asked me to take good care of you and discuss the city reconstruction cooperation.” Yi Zheng took off his coat and draped it over her before sitting beside her comfortably.

The snow outside was getting heavier, but neither of them suggested going back.

Shi Man was silent for a moment before asking with a frown, “Cooperation? How does my father want to cooperate?”

Yi Zheng slowly leaned back with his hands folded behind his head. There was a dark sky above his head, but he was in a good mood. “We’ll be responsible together. You know that even if the city wants to leave this matter to the Shi family, they can’t put all the responsibility on your family, so they’ll definitely find other companies of all sizes to do it together.”

“But the Yi family’s company in this collaboration is Yi City.” Shi Man’s voice was deep, and she frowned in dissatisfaction.

Yi Zheng shook his head helplessly and chuckled. “Let me finish. Manman, I know you can’t trust me wholeheartedly yet, but 1 want to prove to you through this operation that you will always be my firmest choice.”

Shi Man couldn’t help but turn to look at him. Coincidentally, Yi Zheng also turned around. Their eyes met, and Shi Man could clearly see the unshakable determination in his eyes. She sighed softly. “Actually, you don’t have to interfere in this matter. I don’t want to kill Yi Kun.”

“I know, but 1 have to do this.” Yi Zheng stared at Shi Man undisguisedly. The emotions rolling in his eyes were too many and complicated. Even Shi Man was lost in his gaze.

After finally catching her breath, Shi Man suddenly looked away and said in a muffled voice, “Then I’ll wait to see your determination. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Yi Zheng was a man of his word. Over the past few days, he had gathered a lot of support from the shareholders of the Yi Corporation. The day Shi Zhong received the appointment letter, Yi Zheng had already obtained more than half of the shares of this company..
