The next morning, Song Chen came over to inform them that it was time to return to City H and that everything was ready to leave at any time.

Just as Ding Manman opened the door, he coincidentally met up with Zhong Shaoting who was making a phone call. Their gazes met, Ding Manman was the first to move away from her sight, following that she quickly left, as if she was some kind of ferocious beast.

When Zhong Shaoting saw this, he immediately grabbed the phone tightly. If he did not control his power, the phone would have shattered in the next second.

Last night, no matter how much he tossed and turned, he could not sleep, and he could not understand why even though Ding Manman made such a provocative move, he could not punish her.

If this was in the past, he would definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen. Zhong Shaoting looked at Ding Manman's back without even turning her head around, her eyes gloomy and unreadable. She kept having the feeling that he had not become like herself recently, and there were many things that were beyond his control.

The reason for all of this seemed to be because of Ding Manman. It seemed that when she returned to H City, he had to keep a distance from her. This way, he wouldn't be affected by her.

Therefore, after Zhong Shaoting returned to the villa in H City, he directly threw Ding Manman into the rose garden for her to pick 100 roses. Before she finished picking the roses, there was no food to eat.

Ding Manman was not surprised at this. Last night's treatment of Zhong Shaoting, he did not punish her directly or throw her out of the hotel, which was already unbelievable.

As a result, under the scorching sun, Ding Manman bent over and carefully plucked some roses from the rose garden. However, no matter how careful she was, her hand still had a few cuts from the roses, which faintly hurt.

As Sun Linger was walking out of the room and passing through the garden, she saw this scene, and her heart ached uncontrollably. Just as she wanted to bring Ding Manman in, she was stopped by Zhong Shaoting.

"Brother!" How can you treat Sister Manman like this? Don't you know that the thorns of these roses are sharper than those of ordinary roses? "

She could vaguely see that Sister Manman's hands were filled with blood droplets. The more she looked, the more she felt that her brother had gone too far.

"This is not your business. She has committed a sin that could cause her to die a thousand times over. What does that matter?" Zhong Shaoting said without lifting his head, but his tone had a faint killing intent.

Even though she knew that her brother's temper was exactly like that, Sun Linger still did not give up. After all, Big Sister Manman's appearance was really pitiful.

"Then you can let Sister Manman pick it in the evening. It's so bright outside and Sister Manman doesn't have water to drink, so it's very easy for her to faint from the heat. Don't tell me that even you wouldn't feel heartache?"

Sun Linger's tone was a little scolding, but when Zhong Shaoting shot his a glance, she immediately lowered her head in disappointment. There was nothing he could do, he was extremely afraid of this brother in his bones.

"If you dare to interfere, move out yourself." With that, Zhong Shaoting stood up and returned to the study room. During this time, he did not even glance at the rose garden outside.

Sun Linger looked at his brother's arrogant back, and stomped his feet in anger. This Iron Cliff, who had not opened her eyes for ten thousand years, had obviously cared about him at heart, but she refused to admit it.

In the end, Sun Linger was still worried, but Zhong Shaoting was a man who did what he was told, so Sun Linger could only send a servant who was brewing cold tea to Ding Manman.

By the time the 100 roses were plucked, Ding Manman's palm was no longer the same. Her 10 fingers were filled with wounds and she was feeling dizzy from being exposed to the sun for a few hours, but she still had to take the 100 roses to find Zhong Shaoting.

Once, when she angered him, he was thrown into the rose garden. After picking the flowers, he directly went back to his room to sleep because he was too tired, and didn't give them to Zhong Shaoting. In the end, he woke up halfway and was told by Zhong Shaoting that the roses she picked couldn't be counted as roses, so he had to pick them again.

So Ding Manman forced herself to walk up to the second floor of the study, and when she finally arrived at the entrance, he discovered that his hand was in so much pain that she couldn't even hold the doorknob. She could only raise his hand with difficulty and knock on the door.

The door quickly opened, and Ding Manman placed the 100 roses she picked onto his desk. Zhong Shaoting was currently making a phone call with his back facing her.

In Ding Manman's memories, Zhong Shaoting was always very busy, either talking about the company's matters or attending meetings. If possible, she hoped that he would be more busy, and it would be best if he could forget about her existence even though it was impossible.

"The 100 roses have been harvested." Ding Manman said in a hoarse voice. Because she had not drunk any water for too long, his voice had become hoarse.

Zhong Shaoting turned his head upon hearing that, and a cluster of bright red light entered his eyes. Ding Manman was standing in front of the desk, expressionlessly looking at him.

Seeing the blood on her hands dripping onto the carpet, Zhong Shaoting's heart tightened, especially seeing her dry lips and pale face, his heart felt a sharp pain for a moment, as though it had been pierced by a rose. The sharp pain made him frown, he even forgot to speak on the phone.

Zhong Shaoting who had suddenly quietened down, had her suspicions. Raising her head, she discovered that Su Yun was staring at his own hand, only then did Ding Manman realize that the wound on his hand was dripping blood onto the carpet, causing him to faint in a small circle of dark red color.

Ding Manman immediately retracted his hand and placed it in front of her chest, looking a little flustered. Not only did Zhong Shaoting have a violent personality, he also had a very serious problem, and that was his obsession with cleanliness.

This carpet was extremely expensive. If Zhong Shaoting were to use this as an excuse, it might not be impossible.

"I didn't do it on purpose …" Ding Manman looked at Zhong Shaoting who had a bad complexion and subconsciously started to apologize, but before sshe could finish, he was interrupted by Zhong Shaoting.

"Get out of here immediately. Don't dirty my place." The cold words that did not contain even a trace of emotion made Ding Manman's entire body freeze, he lowered his head and quickly left the study.

Zhong Shaoting looked at the door that was not closed, and thought of what he had said just now, he just felt that those wounds were extremely annoying and wanted her to quickly go out and bandage them, but the words that came out of his mouth had a different meaning.

Just then, a scream came out from the maid downstairs. Zhong Shaoting felt something was amiss, he immediately rushed out of the study room to look downstairs, and saw the maid's terrified face pointing at Ding Manman who was lying on the floor.

It turned out that after Ding Manman left the study, her head felt more and more dizzy, and his legs became heavier and heavier. It was difficult for him to even open his legs, and in the end, she fainted and fell onto the hall.
