All the companies in the s.h.i.+ family have started their annual break.

s.h.i.+ Man could finally sleep comfortably in bed until she woke up naturally. She was full of energy in the morning. She was about to run a few rounds around the manor to exercise when Butler Qi suddenly ran over in a panic.

Miss, bad news. Fourth Young Master went out alone this morning. I saw that he looked especially anxious. Did something happen with the Bai family again?

s.h.i.+ Mans eyes turned cold as she frowned and asked, How long has he been out?

Butler Qi glanced at the clock and replied seriously, Its been an hour and forty minutes. Do you want to call him?

s.h.i.+ Man took out her phone and dialed s.h.i.+ Mus number, but no one picked up.

She instructed Butler Qi not to let anyone know about this first. Then, she put on her coat and went to the garage to pick up the car.

s.h.i.+ Mu had gone out in a panic. Something important must have happened. Perhaps Bai Yao had realized that Song Zhi had betrayed her and wanted to advance her plan.

As s.h.i.+ Man drove, she guessed what she would do at this time.

Bai Yaos goal was actually to get Yi Zheng. She did not listen to her familys instructions to seduce s.h.i.+ Mu because she wanted to give herself a chance to be with Yi Zheng.

s.h.i.+ Mu was the only person in the s.h.i.+ family who objected to Yi Zheng and s.h.i.+ Mans marriage the most.

It was precisely because Bai Yao saw this in him that she beat him at his own game. She pretended to please s.h.i.+ Mu, but in fact, she drugged him when he was unprepared and let him have s.e.x with Bai Xue to threaten him.

Thinking of this, s.h.i.+ Man suddenly stopped the car and hurriedly called Yi Zheng.

Coincidentally, no one picked up Yi Zhengs call.

Oh no, she will use s.h.i.+ Mu to ask Yi Zheng out!

A strong anxiety appeared on s.h.i.+ Mans face. She thought of the unknown mastermind who used Su Tang to lure Yi Zheng to the library. The blood on her face instantly drained.

Her hands and feet were cold and numb as she drove. She ran a few red lights and drove as fast as she could to the Yi familys house.

Lu Xiang was yawning and enjoying her morning tea in the living room. When she saw s.h.i.+ Man, she immediately put down the snacks in her hand and pulled her to the table to sit down. Manman, you came at the right time. Auntie hired a new chef from the south. His culinary skills are especially good. Sit down and try it.

Im not eating, Auntie Lu. s.h.i.+ Man took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, but her eyes kept glancing upstairs. Is Yi Zheng at home?

So youre looking for Xiao Zheng. Lu Xiang smiled and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She teased, Why are you looking for Xiao Zheng so early? Do you have something personal to say to him? Come, come, sit down with Auntie and have breakfast first. When he comes back later, you guys can go upstairs and have a good chat.

He went out? When did he leave? s.h.i.+ Man caught the main point and continued to ask anxiously.

Lu Xiang sensed something amiss and frowned in thought. Hes been out for more than half an hour. Whats wrong? Did you quarrel?

She looked at s.h.i.+ Mans pale face and immediately felt that she had guessed the truth. She slammed the table fiercely and said, This b.a.s.t.a.r.d son, Manman, dont be afraid. Ill stand up for you. When he comes back, Ill skin him alive.

No. s.h.i.+ Man quickly denied it, not daring to hide it. Auntie, something might have happened to Yi Zheng.

Lu Xiangs mind went blank as she asked in disbelief, What did you say?

The streets in the morning were always a little deserted. The branches on both sides of the road were filled with gla.s.sy ice and snow. From afar, it looked like a series of white pear blossoms.

The weather today was especially good. Perhaps it was because it had just snowed last night, but even the perpetually hazy air had become refres.h.i.+ng.

Yi Zheng slowly rolled down the car window and took a deep breath of the air outside. He suddenly took out his phone and dialed the nearest call. His voice was colder than the weather outside. Im here. Where is he?

Fourth floor. After the man on the other end of the phone slowly spat out these words, he decisively hung up.

Yi Zheng sneered, got out of the car, and entered the building alone.He came out of the elevator and slowly walked along the corridor to the innermost room.

The door was ajar, revealing a small gap. He listened carefully to the movements inside warily. Suddenly, he raised his hand and pulled the door open. A strange fragrance suddenly a.s.saulted his face.

The strong drug made him stagger. He hurriedly held the edge of the door and was about to turn around and leave when a slender arm suddenly grabbed his waist and pulled him in.

Bai Yao looked smugly at the man who had always been high and mighty being defeated by her. Seeing him leaning against the wall with heavy breathing and unable to even stand steadily, she suddenly felt happy.

After locking the door, Bai Yao reached out and lifted his chin. Seeing the clarity in his eyes gradually swallowed by the uncontrollable desire, her heart suddenly beat faster. Brother Yi Zheng, dont worry. 1 wont harm you. I just want to give myself to you..
