Yi Zheng hurriedly raised his index finger to cover his lips, indicating for her not to make a sound. His eyes were filled with an apologetic smile.

Su Tang immediately understood and hurriedly pulled Bai Xue out of the bedroom.

Only when she was a little further away did Bai Xue dare to take a deep breath. After calming down, she placed her hands on her hips worriedly and said, “Manman hasn’t married him yet. Can they sleep on the same bed now?”

Su Tang frowned and let go again. She shook her head and said, “Brother Yi Zheng is not that kind of person. Manman is sick, and Brother Yi Zheng’s leg hasn’t recovered. They should be sleeping.”

Bai Xue thought of something and blushed slightly. She nodded and said, “I hope that’s the case.”

However, the two people who were “simply sleeping” in the bedroom looked at each other in silence.

Yi Zheng smiled and said, “You’re awake? Do you want some water? Take your medicine again after dinner.”

“No need.” Shi Man knew her body. Although she felt very hot now, it was completely because there was a furnace that was constantly emitting heat beside her!

The stove did not have any self-awareness. The back of his hand, which was bulging with veins, gradually pressed against her forehead. He touched her head seriously and did not let go. “It seems that your fever has subsided. Did you catch a cold yesterday?”

Shi Man took off his hand and stared at him expressionlessly. “I’ve recovered. 1 can go out now.”

Yi Zheng sighed helplessly. “I didn’t know that my fiancee is so filial to my late grandmother. Did you really dream of her?”

Shi Man was silent, staring at him with her calm eyes.

Yi Zheng could only sit up in compromise and move into the wheelchair. He tidied the creases on his clothes. Under Shi Man’s urging gaze, he smiled unhurriedly and said, “Let’s eat first. We’ll go after dinner.”

Shi Man was speechless.

Her fists were hard, but she endured it!

This time, lunch was especially scary. Even Bai Xue and Su Tang, who did not know the truth, felt a chill.

Bai Xue gestured for Su Tang to look at the black aura on Shi Man’s face and put on an “as expected” expression. She even secretly bared her teeth in Yi Zheng’s direction, meaning, “Look, I’m right! Yi Zheng must have done something to Manman. Manman is very angry now. Should we help?”

She made a cutting gesture at her neck and wanted to stand up for the sickly Shi Man.

Su Tang hurriedly held her hand and stole a glance at Yi Zheng’s calm expression. She lowered her voice and said, “It should be fine. He’s crippled, so he shouldn’t be able to beat Manman.”

Yi Zheng’s eyelids twitched. He tightened his grip on his chopsticks and ate more slowly.

Shi Man also heard the contents of their whispers and chuckled. When she looked up again, she still had a straight face and pretended to continue eating.

Yi Zheng glanced at her from the corner of his eye and happened to catch her shoulders trembling when she lowered her head just now. His long eyes narrowed and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Shi Man held back her laughter and blinked at him innocently. “Why are you looking at me like that? Didn’t you say you wanted to eat? Could it be that you’re already full?”

Yi Zheng scooped a bowl of soup and placed it in front of himself with a faint smile. Then, he drank the soup in small sips. “I’m not full. This soup is stewed well. Try it too?”

Butler Qi was completely out of the situation. He thought that he was sincerely praising his family’s soup and hurriedly smiled. “This is a new soup our Shi family’s chef learned. President Yi, if you like it, drink more. You can come often in the future.”

“Oh? Alright, then I’ll drink more.” Yi Zheng deliberately dragged out the last word. He narrowed his eyes and slowed down.

“Hiss!” Bai Xue and Su Tang were uncomfortable by his sarcastic tone at the same time. Looking at his slow movements as he drank the soup like a sloth, they immediately exchanged glances in disbelief and saw relief in each other’s eyes.

Not only was CEO Yi crippled in the car accident, but he might have also damaged his brain!

It seemed that Manman was still very safe with him!

Shi Man gritted her teeth and stared at his slow movements. She endured it until the soup on the table was cold. Bai Xue and Su Tang had long rushed to school, but he was still drinking the soup slowly.

Shi Man finally couldn’t take it anymore and slammed the table. The bowls and chopsticks on the table jumped a few centimeters high.

“Are you done drinking?! Can you go to the washroom yourself after drinking so much?”

“My fiancee doesn’t need to worry about this.” Yi Zheng didn’t even lose his breath. He slowly drank the last mouthful of soup and took a handkerchief from the servant at the side. He wiped his mouth elegantly before looking at her calmly. “Alright, we can go out now.”

Shi Man was speechless.

Her fists were hard again. No, she would beat him up before going out today!

In the end, Shi Man got into Yi Zheng’s car. Compared to the depression on her face, Yi Zheng felt the pleasure of taking revenge..
