“You…” Gu Fan muttered and opened his mouth. After a while, he let out a weak voice,”But I’ve already lost.”

“What does it matter? If you lose, so be it. Haven’t you won a lot too?” The students began to count the various awards Gu Fan had won in school in the past few years. They knew every one of them like the back of their hands.

It turned out that there were so many good friends who remembered the glory he had achieved in the past.

Gu Fan’s violently beating heart suddenly stabilized.

He lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Forget it, he had only lost the competition. Could he really be as sore as Shi Man had said?

“Looks like you’ve figured it out.”

Shi Man stood behind the crowd with a smile; her voice was light enough to attract everyone’s attention.

Gu Fan slowly turned around, and a rare smile suddenly appeared on his usually cold and serious face.

He walked to Shi Man’s side, his eyes focused and burning. “Thank you for letting me understand such an important principle. Don’t worry, since we’ve already competed openly once, 1 won’t cause trouble for you in the future.”

“I know.” Shi Man smiled confidently and extended her right hand to him politely. “I’ll let you continue to be the Vice President. Happy cooperation.”

Gu Fan did not hesitate. After wiping the sweat from his palm, he politely held half of Shi Man’s finger and let go decisively. “Happy cooperation.”

“Okay.” Shi Man turned to leave with Shi Mu.

Gu Fan hesitated for a moment before suddenly calling out to her. His already red face seemed to heat up again. “Well, I think we still have a lot of things to get used to in the future. Why don’t we eat together tonight so that I can discuss work matters with you in the future?”

“Huh?” Shi Man turned her head and was about to agree when a familiar figure in the distance caught her off guard.

Tang Zhe was wearing an ironed suit and sunglasses. He put a serious face between the two of them. “Miss Shi, my master wants to see you. Please follow me.”

“What’s the matter with Yi Zheng?” Shi Mu went forward to stop him unhappily.

His sister must be tired after winning the competition. Why couldn’t Yi Zheng say it himself but only send his secretary over?

“I’m sorry, Fourth Young Master. I’m not sure about Master. Miss Shi, please follow me.” Tang Zhe gave a standard mechanical reply.

Shi Mu wanted to mock him again, but Shi Man stopped him.

“Brother, I’ll be back soon. There’s nothing else here anyway. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Shi Man persuaded Shi Mu with a few words and gestured for Tang Zhe to lead the way.

The eye-catching black car was indeed parked at the school gate.

After Tang Zhe opened the car door for her, he hid a little further away and stood still like he was getting punished.

Shi Man obediently got into the car. A slender arm stretched out in front of her, and a bottle of mineral water with the cap unscrewed was held in his bulging hand.

“Congratulations on becoming the President-designate of Cassel Academy.” Yi Zheng smiled as he watched her swallow the water. He suddenly felt his throat tighten.

“Thank you.” Shi Man twisted the cap and placed it on the small table. She glanced at him playfully. “What is it? Tell me.”

“You won such an important competition today. As your fiance, 1 naturally have to take the initiative to celebrate with you.” Yi Zheng smiled and tucked her scattered hair behind her ear again.

However, Shi Man had always trusted her intuition. She felt that Yi Zheng must be hiding something from her, and it was very important.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and reached out to tug at his tie, pulling him towards her. She smiled and brought her lips to his, allowing their wet and hot breaths to intertwine. “Tell me, what exactly is it? If you confess now, I can deal with it leniently.”

Yi Zheng chuckled and stared at her lips. “I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”

“Don’t give me that.” Shi Man rolled her eyes at him and leaned back in her chair. “Good news.”

“My parents went to your house just now.” Yi Zheng smiled. Under Shi Man’s shocked gaze, he frankly said the main point. “To propose marriage.”

“I wasn’t even there!” Shi Man widened her eyes in disbelief.

She was set up with a man just like that?

Although she had already agreed to be engaged to Yi Zheng, she thought that it would be a very formal occasion to discuss the engagement. She did not expect these parents to act so quickly!

Shi Man suddenly felt a little dazed.

Yi Zheng nodded seriously. “Yes, but your parents have already agreed.”

Shi Man frowned and clicked her tongue. She pursed her lips unhappily. “What about the bad news?”

Yi Zheng’s originally smiling eyes suddenly darkened. “My eldest grandfather doesn’t agree to the marriage between our families. He urgently called my parents to the main residence just now and even coerced my parents as an elder to prevent us from even getting in touch..”
