“Do you mean you want to give up?” Shi Man suddenly clenched her fists. Being stared at by him, Shi Man felt her heart skip a beat.

“I don’t want to give up,” Yi Zheng replied with an extremely serious expression. “But I don’t want to make things difficult for you either. If what I do disgusts you, I might as well not do it.”

Shi Man pursed her lips and suddenly lowered her head, leaving him with a well-defined side profile. Her dark eyes were hidden under her hair, making it impossible for him to see her emotions. “Actually, I don’t hate it.”

“Huh? What did you say?” Yi Zheng narrowed his eyes as if he really didn’t hear what she said just now.

Shi Man took a deep breath and stared at him. She said word by word, “The outcome of this bet has yet to be determined. You can’t admit defeat in advance.”

Yi Zheng smiled and tried his best to suppress it. He said with a vexed expression, “But I’m worried that my kindness to you will become a burden to you.”

“No.” Shi Man blushed and looked away unnaturally. “I think it’s quite interesting.”

“Is that so?” Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn’t help but lean closer. His voice was magnetic and low. “Then there’s something even more interesting. We didn’t finish it last time. Do you remember?”

Shi Man’s face suddenly turned red. She stared at Yi Zheng in disbelief, clearly quickly understanding what he meant. “You want to… Huh?”

Before she could finish speaking, the rest of the words and the ambiguous ending sound were swallowed by him, and their warm breaths sprayed on each other’s faces.

It was not until the two of them were panting that Yi Zheng was willing to let go of her. He gently brushed her cheek with his fingers and his eyes were filled with light. “Isn’t this more interesting?”

“You!” Shi Man’s mind was blank from his kiss just now. Now that she reacted, she raised her hand to hit him, but Yi Zheng grabbed her wist and pulled it behind her.

His smile lingered on her flushed face, and the atmosphere became charming again. He couldn’t help but hug her waist tightly and pull her closer.

Just as he was about to lower his head and repeat what he had just done, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the staircase. Right on the heels of that, Shi Mu ran over angrily and pulled Shi Man out of his arms.

The warm and soft body in his arms was suddenly snatched away. Yi Zheng frowned unhappily and his face fell. “Shi Mu, this is the second time.”

Shi Man stood behind her brother and narrowed her eyes as she licked her wet lips. The shy blush on her face turned pale.

Shi Mu glared at him, wishing he could hit him directly. “Who let you touch my sister! You’re not worthy of touching her! Let me tell you, my sister doesn’t like you. What you’re doing now is forcing yourself on her, understand?!”

Yi Zheng smiled evilly and looked past him at Shi Man. “Manman, this is between the two of us, right?”

Shi Mu was slightly stunned. He turned around and said aggressively, “Sister, tell him to get lost now!”

Shi Man sighed softly and reached out to tug at his sleeve. She said pitifully, “Brother, Mom said she wanted to keep him for dinner. He didn’t do anything to me. Let’s go down.”

Shi Mu was furious. He glared at Yi Zheng and warned, “Don’t let me see you approach my sister again, or I’ll break your legs!”

“Shi Mu.” Yi Zheng’s expression changed slightly, and his tone was a little cold. “I think there’s something 1 have to remind you of now. My engagement to Manman is tacitly agreed on by the Yi and Shi families. If you insist on getting involved and objecting, please discuss it with Aunt Shen and Uncle Shi first. However, even if the elders of both families object, as long as Manman is willing, 1 won’t let go.”

“Alright! Just you wait!” Shi Mu said ruthlessly. He did not want to talk to him anymore. He held Shi Man’s hand and walked downstairs, shouting about what had just happened.

Shen Xian did not expect her youngest son to have such a huge reaction to this matter. She secretly glanced in the direction of the stairs and hurriedly pulled him to sit down. “Don’t worry about this. You’re Manman’s brother. You just have to keep an eye on Yi Zheng and not let him bully your sister.”

“But Mom, why did you agree to Manman marrying that person? He used to ignore Manman!” Shi Mu still couldn’t get over this hurdle in his heart.

No matter how well Yi Zheng treated Manman now, the harm he had done to Shi Man in the past would never be erased!

Manman had suffered so much criticism for him. Didn’t he have to feel guilty at all?

Shen Xian sighed and patted Shi Mu’s shoulder gently. “It’s not that he didn’t treat Manman well in the past. Our families know Yi Zheng’s personality very well. If he doesn’t like her, it’s useless no matter what Manman does. But now, he clearly likes her. If he can treat Manman well in the future and make her happy for the rest of her life, why must we stop him?”

“But…” Shi Mu wanted to say something else, but Shen Xian quietly grabbed his arm and stopped him.

She pouted in Shi Man’s direction, indicating for Shi Mu to calm down and take a look himself..
