The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness

98 Assassination

Halfway through the meal, Su Tang suddenly felt discomfort in her stomach. She went out alone for a long time and did not return. Shi Man was a little worried and put down her chopsticks to go out to look for her. However, she bumped into Tang Zhe in the hotel stairwell.

Tang Zhe smiled and raised his hand to invite her into a private room. Shi Man glanced at him coldly and silently pushed open the door of the private room. As expected, Su Tang and Yi Zheng were inside.

“Manman.” When Su Tang saw her, she immediately stood up and said apologetically, “I didn’t mean to not go back. Brother Yi Zheng invited me in to wait for someone.”

“Yes.” Shi Man looked coldly at the aloof man opposite her. She pulled out a chair and sat down. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “I’m here. What do you want to say?”

“How did you know that I was waiting for you?” Yi Zheng raised his hand and personally poured her a glass of wine, his lips curling into an inexperienced smile.

“If there’s nothing else, we’ll go back and eat.” Shi Man didn’t want to waste time with him here. She hadn’t finished her meal yet, but this person actually butted in to cause trouble. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have come out just now and let him have some time alone with Su Tang.

“What do you like to eat? It’s not like I don’t have it here.” Yi Zheng wanted to keep her, so he gestured for Tang Zhe to put the menu in front of her.

“Yi Zheng, it seems that you’ve forgotten everything I said.” Shi Man looked at him calmly. In terms of aura, the two of them were actually evenly matched, but Shi Man knew the other party’s strength clearly. If he attacked, it would indeed be difficult for her to escape with Su Tang.

“I haven’t forgotten, but I don’t want to break off the engagement.” Yi Zheng smiled devilishly and said openly in front of Su Tang and Tang Zhe, “I want to try to understand you. Can I?”

When Yi Zheng went to the Shi family personally that day, Su Tang had a faint premonition. She did not expect her premonition to be confirmed so quickly. Yi Zheng really changed his mind and started to be interested in Manman.

She looked at Shi Man happily, but she saw that the other party seemed to have encountered something extremely troublesome. She frowned and looked at Yi Zheng as if he was the trouble.

“A good horse doesn’t turn back. Haven’t you heard of this saying? I don’t like you anymore. I don’t need you to understand me. Our relationship is already in the past.” Shi Man rejected Yi Zheng bluntly.

In her opinion, Yi Zheng’s sudden change must be up to no good. She could not give him any chance to hurt the Shi family. She could not wait for Yi Zheng to get lost and never appear in front of her again.

“Alright then.” Yi Zheng nodded slightly. Just as Tang Zhe thought that his master would say that he would give up and let Shi Man leave, he did not expect his next words to be even more shocking.

“Then it’s my turn to pursue you. I want to understand you. If we can be in love, there’s no need to cancel the engagement.” Yi Zheng’s words were usually concise. This was the first time he had said so much to a woman in one go. However, it was not surprising that the person he was facing was Shi Man.

After all, from the perspective of outsiders, Shi Man said even less when facing Yi Zheng. Moreover, most of it was about breaking off the engagement with him.

Tang Zhe tried his best to reduce his presence. He wished he could dig a hole in the ground with his toes and hide in it, lest his master poison him into deafness and muteness in order to prevent this conversation from leaking out.

Su Tang also looked incredulous. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to know Shi Man’s reaction and looked nervously at her.

“Whatever. Go ahead and try.”

Shi Man did not believe that she would be tempted by him. She had never loved a man. She would never be with a murderer like Yi Zheng, who was ruthless in the original book and did not hesitate to kill her entire family.

After saying this, Shi Man did not want to waste another second with him. She stood up and walked out of the private room. Su Tang naturally followed.

Watching her leave, Yi Zheng’s smiling eyes darkened, and his voice was so low that it made people shiver. “Send a few people to escort her back to school. Nothing must happen.”

“Yes.” Tang Zhe accepted the order and went to make arrangements.

Just this morning, Yi Zheng, who collected information in the dark, unexpectedly received a mission to assist in an assassination in the black market. The target was his fiancée, Shi Man.

He accepted the mission without batting an eyelid because he wanted to lure the snake out of its hole and catch the mastermind in one fell swoop. However, this way, it was inevitable that Shi Man would become bait, which was why this scene just now happened.

He had come to look for her only to bring her with him in case anything happened to her. However, he did not expect Shi Man to hate him to this extent.

A part of his heart seemed to be blocked by a huge rock. Yi Zheng slowly turned the ring on his thumb and his deep eyes landed calmly on the wine glass opposite him. Shi Man, who appeared in front of him, was sometimes wearing a mask and sometimes saying expressionlessly that she no longer liked him.

Even Yi Zheng, who always had strong self-control, had to admit that Shi Man was like a wild rose with thorns to him. She was so beautiful that he could not restrain himself.
