172 Publicity in the City
Shi Man glanced at him and smiled indifferently. “There’s never a need to hide who I like. The Shi family has the ability to protect him.”
Tang Zhe stopped talking. He lowered his eyes and led her out of the elevator. They walked through the exquisitely decorated corridor and arrived at the innermost office.
The dark brown wooden door was right in front of him. Tang Zhe raised his hand and knocked gently. After hearing the voice inside, he opened the door and reached out to invite Shi Man in while he waited outside.
In the office, Yi Zheng sat on the sofa expressionlessly. There was lunch prepared on the coffee table in front of him. Perhaps it had been placed there for too long, the fragrance of the dishes had already dissipated.
“You’re here.” Yi Zheng’s cold gaze stared straight at her. When his gaze landed on her shoulder which had been touched by another man, his gaze became even more vicious.
“Yes.” Shi Man didn’t stand on ceremony with him. She found a seat far away from him and sat down. Then, she crossed her legs and looked at Yi Zheng indifferently. “Didn’t you say you wanted to make it public? How do you plan to make it public? Or do you no longer want to make it public and don’t want to be engaged to me?”
Yi Zheng smiled coldly. “I thought you would continue to use yesterday’s theme.”
After saying that, he glanced at her clothes regretfully, his meaning very obvious.
Shi Man was not to be outdone. She said calmly, “Now your employees should know that I have a new lover, right?”
Yi Zheng’s hand, which was tapping lightly on his thigh, suddenly paused. He couldn’t help but frown. When he looked up again, there was only indifference in his eyes. “In order not to get engaged to me, you didn’t hesitate to ruin yourself to this extent?”
“How can it be considered ruining?” Shi Man spread her hands disapprovingly. “I think he’s quite good-looking and has a good relationship with my brother. He’s a very suitable candidate to date.”
Yi Zheng wanted to say that he had a good relationship with her brothers, but when he thought of Shi Mu’s attitude towards him, he rubbed his eyebrows in frustration. “You forced me to do this.”
He wanted to listen to Tang Zhe and treat her well step by step. He wanted to take care of her meticulously and pay attention to her movements at all times. Before she liked him again, he would not force her and try his best to move her heart.
However, this did not mean that he could watch her be with someone else!
He had not been waiting for this outcome!
“What do you want?” Shi Man felt that something was wrong. She couldn’t help but stand up and look at the man who was filled with hostility.
“You’ll know in a while.” Yi Zheng took out his phone and made a call. Before the other party could answer, they heard a sudden explosion outside.
Shi Man walked to the window in shock and saw that all the mall screens near the company were playing the news that the two of them had decided to get engaged.
The entire G City seemed to be enveloped in the words “Yi Zheng and Shi Man are publicly engaged”. There was even a pattern with red hearts beside it.
Shi Man swore that she really noticed Yi Zheng’s strong disdain when he saw these words and pictures.
However, a moment later, he immediately put away his dissatisfaction and turned to look at Shi Man calmly. “I promised you that I would announce to everyone that we are engaged.”
No! This exaggerated understanding was too ridiculous! That was not what she said!
Shi Man was immediately anxious. She was so anxious that she forgot the difference in strength between the two of them and attacked him. “You forced me!”
In the office, the two of them fought. Outside, Tang Zhe heard the sound of something being smashed from time to time. He covered his face in pain.
Every item in the office was priceless! What a waste!
After fighting for a while, just as Tang Zhe’s heart ached so much that he could not help but rush in to stop the fight, Shi Man suddenly kicked the door open with a bang. She glared at Tang Zhe with bloodshot eyes, then turned around and walked into the elevator with a cold expression.
Tang Zhe was shocked by her fierce gaze. He quickly composed himself and timidly walked into the office to check on Yi Zheng.
At this moment, it was already a mess inside. Everything that could be seen on had been smashed into pieces by the two of them. Yi Zheng leaned on the sofa and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. When he heard Tang Zhe’s footsteps walk in, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled into a crazy smile. “I won. Now that everyone in the city knows that she’s mine, let’s see who still dares to marry her!”
Tang Zhe didn’t dare to say a word. He lowered his eyebrows and started to clean up the things on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Yi Zheng smiled for a while before a hint of depression suddenly appeared on his face. He opened his eyes fiercely and looked at him. “Where’s that man? I want to know who he is!”
“Yes.” Tang Zhe did not dare to delay. He went out and called the cleaner to clean up the mess in the room while he went to investigate something more important to his master.
In less than an hour, Yuan Yi’s detailed information was placed on Yi Zheng’s table. Tang Zhe couldn’t help but remind him, “This is the person who gave Miss Shi the umbrella in the classroom. They should have met at that time.”
