Chapter 696 - 696: Proving His Innocence

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shi Man’s eyes burned with anger.

Tang Zhe’s heart trembled as he watched from the side. Afraid that Shi Man would be unhappy and chop off the President’s hand, he quickly went up and forcefully separated their hands. He turned his body to block Shi Man’s line of sight. “Miss Shi, President Yi is delirious now. It’s really not his fault. Why don’t we get him to explain it to you personally when he wakes up?”

Chen Jiao stuck her head out timidly from behind him and blinked innocently at Shi Man. “Miss Shi, I don’t know why things turned out like this. I’m really innocent. My… my innocence is gone…”

Chen Jiao’s sobbing came from behind.

Tang Zhe felt like his head was about to explode. He rubbed his temples in frustration. “Don’t speak first.”

Shi Man looked at her coldly, and her gaze shifted from her exposed collarbone to her teary face. The temperature of her gaze gradually fell to the freezing point. “What innocence do you have?”

“What other innocence can it be?” Chen gathered her clothes shyly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Coincidentally, the unconscious man on the bed finally opened his eyes.

When his deep black eyes saw so many people standing by his bed, they suddenly narrowed dangerously. Right on the heels of that, he saw Shi Man, and his eyes lit up. “Manman, when did I come home?”

Shi Man smiled faintly. “1 don’t know if you still want to go home.”

Yi Zheng frowned slightly. Due to the anger in Shi Man’s eyes, he ignored his body’s fatigue and barely propped himself up.

The shirt on his shoulder suddenly slipped off. Then, Yi Zheng watched as his naked chest was exposed.

“Get out!” Yi Zheng roared as his eyes turned red.

Shi Man turned around and left.

Yi Zheng was anxious. He quickly stood up and grabbed her arm. “Manman, I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about them.”

Shi Man turned around and saw his untied belt. She sneered and said, “Can’t you let your special assistant help you put on your clothes first?”

Yi Zheng smiled and said, “Manman, I never let anyone touch me. It’s not like you don’t know.”

“Is that so?” Shi Man’s lips were filled with sarcasm. “Then how do you explain the one beside you?”

She pouted in Chen Jiao’s direction.

Yi Zheng followed her gaze in surprise and saw Chen Jiao in a disheveled state. He immediately frowned. “Tang Zhe, why is she here? Take her away.”

Tang Zhe hurriedly responded and pulled Chen Jiao’s arm away.

But how could she be willing to leave just like that?

Seeing that she was about to be pulled out of the room, Chen Jiao steeled her heart and suddenly relaxed her bitten lower lip. She actually broke free from Tang Zhe’s shackles and ran to Shi Man. “Miss Shi, I’m sorry. 1 don’t know why this happened between President Yi and me, but I’m also a victim. Don’t blame me. My innocence is gone. I really don’t know what to do in the future!”

Yi Zheng’s face was filled with confusion, but combined with his and Chen Jiao’s messy clothes and Chen Jiao’s words, he immediately understood what was going on. His face turned pale. “Manman, that’s definitely not the case. I, Yi Zheng, will never do anything to let you down!”

“CEO Yi, you might not have been sober just now, so you don’t remember, but I don’t blame you. After all, you’re also a victim in this matter. I’m fine. Let’s just pretend that nothing happened in the future. Don’t fire me because of this. I really need this job!”

Chen Jiao spoke tactfully and pitifully. Even Tang Zhe, who had been skeptical at first, could not help but pity her.

Yi Zheng wished he could sew her mouth shut.

He was a man. No one knew better than him if he had done such a thing!

Moreover, Shi Man was here. What nonsense was this woman talking about?

Yi Zheng rubbed his temples in frustration. “Tang Zhe, take her away first.”

“Yes.” This time, Tang Zhe dragged Chen Jiao out of the room and the staff who came with her.

The moment the door closed, the bedroom fell silent. The atmosphere was extremely cold.

Yi Zheng lowered his head apologetically, like a big dog that knew it had made a mistake. He held Shi Man’s hand helplessly. “Manman, believe it or not, I would never do that with another woman.”

Shi Man raised her eyelids slightly and said expressionlessly, “How should 1 believe you?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This cold appearance was very similar to her attitude when two of them were strangers in the past. Yi Zheng inexplicably panicked and held her hand even tighter. “I really didn’t realize just now. I don’t even have any memory of it. How could I have done such a thing?”

Shi Man shook off his hand and said unmoved, “Yi Zheng, you have to have evidence for everything. If you didn’t do it, think of a way to prove it yourself. You said that you don’t have any memory of it, and I can’t pry open your brain. How do 1 know if you’re lying to me?”

Yi Zheng pursed his thin lips and clenched his fists by his side.. “Alright, I’ll think of a way to prove it, but you can’t break the engagement!”
