Shi Man sized him up with an unfriendly expression and nodded. "Sure."

...

It was just a banquet. It was just eating and drinking. When the time came, she could just find an opportunity to slip away.

Seeing her agree, the smile in Yi Zheng's eyes deepened. "Then it's settled. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"Address," Shi Man reminded him with a hint of warning.

Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows in amusement. "Would I go back on my word with you? I've already told Sean the address. It should be almost time, but if they're too slow and late, you can't blame me."

"Yi Zheng!" Shi Man gritted her teeth & called his name.

The man nodded & smiled good-naturedly. "I'm here. I asked Tang Zhe to reserve a table at a restaurant near your company just now. Do you want to eat together?"

.....

Shi Man stared at him darkly.

Yi Zheng increased his chips with a playful expression. "I can also tell you who helped Shi Jing hide."

Shi Man took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She did not want to lose her composure for such a thick-skinned man.

She took a while to calm down and almost blurted out the vulgarities. A standard professional fake smile hung on her face. "Alright, President Yi invited me personally. How can I not go? It's just that it's my 1st day at work today and I'm really too busy with work. I'll have to trouble President Yi to wait for me for a while."

Yi Zheng made a gentlemanly gesture and waited until late at night.

His expression was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see his expression. However, it was difficult not to notice the aura around him that was about to explode.

Shi Man deliberately asked him to wait to vent her anger.

In order to make him wait a little longer, she cleaned up all the documents that Shi Zhong had accumulated. From the corner of her eye, she saw that the sky outside was completely dark and the hour on the clock had already reached ten.

Only then did she put down her work and stretch comfortably. Then, she peeked at the man sitting upright on the sofa opposite her.

Yi Zheng looked up at her, his tone neither hot nor cold. "Is it over?"

"Yes." Shi Man smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, I was so engrossed that I lost track of time. Why didn't you remind me?"

"Work is more important." Yi Zheng laughed coldly. He got up and buttoned his suit. He looked at the time and said, "That cafeteria is probably closed."

"Then let's go home separately. Let's meet another day!" Shi Man picked up quickly with an obvious mocking smile in her eyes.

She thought that Yi Zheng would leave angrily halfway, but she did not expect him to really sit in his seat and read while waiting for her.

However, it was already this time. Since the cafeteria was closed, she didn't need to bother about the meal.

"Are we going to your house or mine?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Shi Man paused and did not react to what he had just said. She turned around in disbelief and asked, "Aren't you tired? Don't you want to lie down and rest after going home for a meal?"

"Yes." Yi Zheng smiled matter-of-factly. "Fortunately, you reminded me. I think this is very good. It's a little impolite to let you stay at my house before we get married. Then I'll go to your house."
