Shi Mengwan looked at the little baby in Su Qingsang's arms. There was a flash of envy and love in her eyes.
Today was Su Qingsang's baby's one-month birthday party. She had come once when Su Qingsang gave birth. This was her second time coming to Rong City.
"So cute. This is the sister, right? "
"Yes. This is Nian Nian, the sister. "
"Has the name been decided?"
"Yes. Her name is Huo Yanzhen. "Su Qingsang held her daughter, her face full of satisfaction." The older one is Huo Yanjing. "
"Good name."
Shi Mengwan nodded and her gaze fell on the pink baby's face. "The most important thing is that she's really cute. She's so cute that I want to steal her home. "
"Do you like it?" Su Qingsang blinked at her. "If you like it, hurry up and find a man and have one."
"Hmph. I think you're right. "
Wan Xianyang had arrived at some point. At this moment, he stood beside Shi Mengwan and looked at her with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
"Sister-in-law. Wanwan. "
Shi Mengwan nodded at Wan Xianyang as a greeting and quickly stood up.
"Qingsang, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Go ahead."
She was obviously avoiding Wan Xianyang, which made Wan Xianyang's expression turn ugly. After Shi Mengwan left, he looked at Su Qingsang.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not that bad, am I?"
Su Qingsang couldn't answer. Everyone had their own eyes. Wan Xianyang was good, but Shi Mengwan didn't like him, so there was nothing she could do.
"Xianyang, listen to my advice. You'd better find another target."
Wan Xianyang didn't give up and said it casually. In fact, he had long given up. Hearing Su Qingsang say this, he wasn't angry.
"Okay, I want to see who subdued this flower in the end."
Shi Mengwan actually knew that Wan Xianyang wouldn't do anything, but facing someone who had once "passionately" pursued her, she always felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, she believed that Li Junsheng might not have deep feelings for her. It was just the desire to conquer, just like that person.
Shi Mengwan, who was a little absent-minded, walked a little faster. She didn't notice that someone happened to turn around in front of her and happened to come towards her. She accidentally fell into the other party's arms.
"Sorry." Shi Mengwan quickly apologized and wanted to leave his embrace. She was wearing high heels today, so she accidentally tripped over her left foot with her right foot. Not only did she lose her footing, but she also fell into his embrace.
Shi Mengwan had never encountered such an embarrassing situation. She almost didn't dare to raise her head.
However, he heard a low chuckle from above his head. Then, his body was supported by someone, and he stood firm. Using this movement, she raised her head and realized that the person in front of her was very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"I'm sorry." Shi Mengwan bit her lip and felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay." Li Junsheng shook his head. Today was the first month of Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao's child. He had just flown over from Lin City today. He didn't expect to encounter such a romantic encounter as soon as he arrived.
"I'm so sorry." Shi Mengwan knew that the people who came today were either rich or powerful. They were all business friends of the Huo family. Therefore, he was indeed a little embarrassed.
"It really doesn't matter." Li Junsheng smiled and took a step back. He looked at Shi Mengwan with a flash of amazement in his eyes.
Speaking of which, he had never seen Shi Mengwan before. When he was in Lin City, it was unlikely that Huo Jinyao would invite Shi Mengwan to a gathering with them.
When Shi Mengwan came to Rong City to play and was brought to play with Huo Jinyao's group of childhood friends, Li Junsheng was in Lin City.
Therefore, Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had been married for more than a year, but Li Junsheng had never seen Shi Mengwan.
Shi Mengwan didn't wear a formal dress when she came over today, but she was very formal.
She wore a classic Hepburn black dress with a red suit jacket on the outside. Red and black were matched by her, and there was a hint of passion in her cold elegance.
It was a very suitable color scheme, and Shi Mengwan had put on light makeup today. Her facial features were already very bright and beautiful. Looking at her like this, she looked even more interesting.
If one looked closely, they could see the faint worry in Shi Mengwan's eyes. He gave off a contradictory feeling, yet surprisingly harmonious feeling.
Shi Mengwan wanted to laugh. She rarely made stupid mistakes like today. It was really the first time.
"Are you also here to attend the full moon banquet?"
She looked at Li Junsheng and felt that he looked a little familiar. After asking this question, her eyes suddenly widened as if she had remembered something.
"Yes." Li Junsheng looked at Shi Mengwan. He had never seen her before. "You too?"
"Yes." Shi Mengwan nodded. The moment Li Junsheng nodded, she completely remembered who he was. "You, you're Mayor Li?"
"You know me?" Li Junsheng listened to Shi Mengwan and tilted his head. "You're from Lin City?"
"Yes." Shi Mengwan was really a little excited now. Although she knew that the Huo family knew people who weren't ordinary, and she had also seen some people who often appeared on TV just now, she was surprised to see them here.
But Li Junsheng was different. He was the mayor of Lin City.
She was a small citizen, and it was her first time meeting the mayor. This made her a little excited.
"Hello, Mayor Li."
"This isn't Lin City. You don't have to be so polite to me." Li Junsheng looked at Shi Mengwan. "Are you Huo Jinyao's friend? Or a relative? "
Since he called Huo Jinyao by his name, it meant that Li Junsheng had a good relationship with Huo Jinyao. Shi Mengwan also relaxed a little.
"I'm Su Qingsang's friend."
Li Junsheng knew that Su Qingsang was from Lin City. He didn't ask any more questions.
"I see. Then please help yourself. I'll go in and greet the old master first. "
"Okay."
Shi Mengwan waited until Li Junsheng's figure disappeared before she recovered from the shock.
She didn't expect that she would have the chance to meet the mayor of Lin City. This feeling was really subtle.
She walked towards the bathroom at the other end of the corridor. At the corner, there was the men's bathroom outside, and the women's bathroom opposite.
Before she could go in, her hand was grabbed by someone. Before she could react, she was pulled into the men's bathroom.
Shi Mengwan was shocked. Her first reaction was that she had met a pervert. Her second reaction was that this was a five-star hotel. All the people who came today were famous people, so it shouldn't be —
Her guess was quickly confirmed. A familiar smell came to her nose.
She was very familiar with this smell after a year. She suddenly raised her head, but what she saw was Zhan Haoze's sinister face.
She didn't have time to care about his ugly expression. Instead, she immediately realized the situation in front of her.
"Are you crazy? This is the men's bathroom? "
She was extremely panicked. She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but Zhan Haoze blocked her lips in the next second.
It was as if she had been bitten by a piranha. She only felt pain on her lips. She couldn't escape, she couldn't leave. Her entire body was tightly trapped by him.
This was a five-star hotel. There were constantly people coming and going outside. This was still the men's bathroom. Zhan Haoze's attitude made Shi Mengwan think that she was a prostitute for a moment.
She struggled up, raised her hand, and was about to swing it at Zhan Haoze's face.
Zhan Haoze's reaction was faster than she thought. He quickly grabbed her hand and used force to restrain her hands behind her back.
Because of her resistance, the force on his lips became heavier. Shi Mengwan's lips were bitten by him until they hurt.
She wanted to retreat, but Zhan Haoze's strength wasn't something she could compare to.
"Wu wu." She glared at him. Her eyes were filled with resistance, dissatisfaction, and anger.
Zhan Haoze met her gaze for a long time. Finally, he let go of his hand and retreated a little, but he still trapped her in his arms.
Shi Mengwan's breathing was a little breathless. Her lips hurt. She suspected that he had bitten her lips.
"Zhan Haoze. Let go of me. "
She wanted to push him away and leave this place. If she saw her in the men's bathroom, even if she didn't do anything, even if no one here knew her, it would be enough to make her feel embarrassed.
"Wan Xianyang, Huo Jinyao's childhood friend. The second young master of the Wan family. Now, he runs two antique shops. Among them, Gu Langxuan's business is the biggest. Every year, it brings Wan Xianyang hundreds of millions of yuan in profits. "
Shi Mengwan's body froze. She didn't understand what Zhan Haoze meant by this.
"Li Junsheng, the mayor of Lin City. His family has been in the right place for generations. Li Junsheng is young, but he's already the top leader of Lin City. In the past year, through the investment of a master, he's developed and renovated the old city area of Lin City. He's very popular in Lin City. "
Shi Mengwan's back was tightly pressed against the door. She didn't understand what he meant.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at seducing men. You're actually able to attract the favor of two men like this in one go. "
Shi Mengwan watched as he said such words in such a mocking tone. Without thinking, she raised her hand and slapped him in the face.
However, before her hand could touch his face, he had already grabbed it.
He leaned forward and pinned her between the door and his chest.
"Are you angry?"
"Zhan Haoze, not every man is like you."
"Like me? What do you mean? Hmm? "
Zhan Haoze leaned over and got close to Shi Mengwan's face. His breath pointed at her cheek.
She turned her face away as if she was avoiding him, bit her lip, and pinched the nails of her hand that he didn't grab into her palm.
What?
She didn't understand how things had turned out like this.
..
More than a year ago.
Shi Mengwan hung up on Su Qingsang. She felt a little lonely.
Su Qingsang followed Huo Jinyao back to Rong City for the Mid-Autumn Festival. She was married. Although she didn't forget her friends because of love, she really didn't have much time to see Su Qingsang.
She felt a little lonely, but Huo Jinyao seemed to be a good person. Although he had no money, he still lived in Su Qingsang's house. The conditions were also ordinary. But as long as he treated Su Qingsang well, it was fine.
She looked through all the orders she had received before. Recently, the studio's business had been good.
Ever since Su Qingsang got married, her orders had increased a lot. Even though Su Qingsang was the illegitimate daughter of the Su family, her wedding was still quite eye-catching.
She designed her wedding dress herself. After the wedding, the studio's business had improved a lot.
"Sister Shi, the customer from last time is here again." After knocking on the door, the secretary, Xiao Qiu, poked his head in.
"Which one?"
"It's that Miss Chen."
"I'll go take a look." When Shi Mengwan heard the surname Chen, she immediately thought of a person.
There were two people sitting in the reception room. One was Chen Feifei, whom she had met last time, and the other was Zhan Haoze.
Seeing the two of them appear at the same time, Shi Mengwan's expression changed for a moment. It was only for a moment. She quickly composed herself and turned to look at Chen Feifei.
"Hello, Miss Chen."
Last time, Chen Feifei came over and said that she wanted to order a dress, but after saying the design requirements, she didn't say anything else.
"Hello."
Chen Feifei was gentle and weak. When she saw Shi Mengwan, she stood up rather politely.
"Miss Shi, I might have to trouble you this time. I have a banquet in a few days, and I want to choose a dress for myself. "
Although Shi Mengwan mainly designed wedding dresses, she also had dresses here.
Looking at Chen Feifei, she nodded. "No problem. May I know what Miss Chen's request is?"
"White. And be more generous. "Chen Feifei smiled quite appropriately." Why don't you introduce it to me, Miss Shi? "
"Okay."
Shi Mengwan nodded and brought Chen Feifei to try on the dress. Before leaving, she glanced at Zhan Haoze.
He sat there with his legs elegantly crossed. He was holding a magazine in his hand and casually flipping through it.
Chen Feifei had already walked to the door, but she suddenly turned around and walked in front of Zhan Haoze.
"Brother Hao, I'm going to try on the clothes. Wait for me."
"Okay," Zhan Haoze replied. His gaze didn't even leave the magazine.
Chen Feifei seemed a little dissatisfied. She couldn't help but bend down and kiss Zhan Haoze on the cheek.
"Thank you, brother Hao. You're so nice to me."
Shi Mengwan maintained a straight face and didn't look in that direction. Therefore, she didn't see that Zhan Haoze's brows were slightly furrowed because of Chen Feifei's actions.
Chen Feifei also knew that she couldn't go too far. If she went any further, Zhan Haoze would be unhappy.
She couldn't help but feel a little depressed and depressed, but she hid it very well.
Shi Mengwan brought Chen Feifei to try on the clothes. Along the way, her mind couldn't help but think of Zhan Haoze.
He had changed a lot now, but no matter how much he changed, she could still recognize him.
Lowering her eyes, Shi Mengwan forced herself to retract her thoughts and focus on Chen Feifei.
"This is our dress exhibition area. Other than our own designs, there are also some custom-made clothes from abroad."
As a studio, of course, they had to try their best to meet the needs of people at different levels.
"This one isn't bad." Chen Feifei picked up a white dress and compared it to herself.
"Miss Chen, you can go and try it on." Shi Mengwan looked at Chen Feifei's figure. "Miss Chen is so slim. You should wear size S, right?"
"Yes." Chen Feifei nodded, but she placed the dress in Shi Mengwan's hand. "I'm sorry, but I don't think I like the lace on it."
"It's okay. You can take your time to look at it."
"Okay." Chen Feifei nodded and turned to look at her as if she had thought of something. "Miss Shi, your studio is called Song Seeking. What's the name? "
Shi Mengwan pursed her lips slightly. "Life is like a dream and a song, so it's called Song Seeking."
"I didn't know that Miss Shi was such an elegant person."
"Miss Chen, you're too polite."
Shi Mengwan stood behind her, but she knew very well that this name didn't mean that.
Song Seeking. Looking for Dear Brother.
But for so many years, so long, there was no news of her at all. It wasn't easy for her to see him, but her Dear Brother had completely forgotten about her.
"These two."
As they spoke, Chen Feifei had already picked out two dresses. Shi Mengwan led her to the fitting room.
When she turned around, she realized that Zhan Haoze had arrived at some point in time and was standing at the entrance of the exhibition area.
Her assistant, Xiao Ji, accompanied Chen Feifei to try on the clothes. At this time, there were only Shi Mengwan and Zhan Haoze in the exhibition area.
The visitor was a guest. Shi Mengwan tried her best to make her expression look normal and calm.
"Mr. Zhan, Miss Chen should be out in a while. You can sit here and wait for her."
Zhan Haoze glanced at her, then slowly walked to the sofa that Shi Mengwan pointed at and sat down.
This exhibition area was designed to have a very fashionable feel. There were dark patterns on the large pieces of light pink and white. They were all kinds of clothing styles.
If one looked closely, they could see the patterns on them. The sofa was geometric. It didn't surround the coffee table in the middle like normal shops.
Instead, there were small tables on both sides with catalogues on them. There was also a small vase with a thin neck with a rose in it.
Zhan Haoze looked around and stopped when he passed by Shi Mengwan's face.
He couldn't tell that this woman had good taste.
Shi Mengwan called out. Soon, Xiao Qiu brought in two cups of camellia tea.
"Mr. Zhan, please have some tea."
"Brother Hao, do I look good?"
Chen Feifei had already put on her clothes and came out. When she saw Zhan Haoze come in, she was obviously very happy and turned around in front of him.
Zhan Haoze didn't comment. "Not bad."
"Just not bad?" Chen Feifei was obviously disappointed, but only for a moment. "Then I'll go change again."
Zhan Haoze didn't say anything. Chen Feifei seemed to be a little sullen. She went in to change into another set of clothes.
She changed into the second set, and Zhan Haoze still said it wasn't bad.
Shi Mengwan stood there with her eyes focused on her nose and her nose focused on her heart. Chen Feifei didn't ask her, and she didn't intend to ask.
In fact, both sets were not bad and suited her very well.
Chen Feifei changed to the third set and got Zhan Haoze's approval.
"Then I'll take this set." Chen Feifei finally had a smile on her face. She turned to look at Shi Mengwan. "Miss Shi, do you have men's clothes here? Pick a set for Brother Hao too. "
"Yes."
Although she only designed women's clothes here, it didn't mean that she didn't have men's clothes.
There were foreign high-end custom-made clothes, and there were also collaborations with some brands.
"Brother Hao, you can pick one here too."
Zhan Haoze sat still. "I have clothes."
"Then just treat it as accompanying me. You won't wear matching clothes with me when we go to a banquet, right? "
When she said the words' matching clothes', she seemed a little embarrassed. She looked at Zhan Haoze tentatively again.
Zhan Haoze glanced at her and finally got up to pick out clothes.
"Miss Shi, help me pick out a set."
This was the first time Zhan Haoze spoke to Shi Mengwan since he came here.
Shi Mengwan looked at him and finally picked out a set of clothes for him that she felt were very suitable and matched the one Chen Feifei was wearing just now.
"This set. Put it together with the one Feifei wore just now."
It wasn't that Shi Mengwan hadn't met straightforward customers before, but there weren't many such straightforward customers.
She took the card from Zhan Haoze's hand and asked Xiao Qiu to swipe the card for Zhan Haoze.
Chen Feifei was obviously very satisfied with Zhan Haoze's cooperation. The smile on her face became a little more sincere.
"Brother Hao, you're so good to me. However, you still have to try it. If it doesn't fit, can't you ask her to change it? Although I believe you look good in anything. But still, try it. "
As she spoke, she held Zhan Haoze's arm. Zhan Haoze's body stiffened for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
"Then I'll go try it on."
With the excuse of going to try on the clothes, he successfully broke free from Chen Feifei's hand and went to try on the clothes.
The dark suit, the close-fitting cut, and Zhan Haoze's standard inverted triangular figure.
This suit suited him very well.
"Brother Hao is so handsome."
Chen Feifei's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration. When she was about to approach, Zhan Haoze entered the fitting room again and changed his clothes.
"Is it okay?"
"It's okay."
Shi Mengwan had already asked Xiao Qiu to wrap up the clothes. "May I ask if you want to take them away or send them to your door?"
"We'll take them away directly." Chen Feifei hooked her hand around Zhan Haoze's wrist. "Brother Hao, it's getting late. Let's go to the Baichan Restaurant for dinner. I heard that there's a new chef there. He's very good at cooking Cantonese cuisine. Let's go and have a try? "
Zhan Haoze didn't say anything and left directly.
Shi Mengwan watched the two of them leave, and her mind couldn't help but think of that year. She watched helplessly as her Dear Brother got further and further away from her.
She shook her head and reminded herself in her heart that Zhan Haoze was no longer her Dear Brother.
She asked Xiao Qiu to pack up the clothes. Shi Mengwan planned to go back to her office and finish the design drawing that she had received earlier.
However, just as she sat down, Xiao Qiu came in again.
"Sister Shi, I picked this up from the article just now."
It was a man's wallet. The black leather was very textured, and it could be seen that it was very valuable.
"This should be Mr. Zhan's. Just leave it. Contact him according to the phone number left by the client later. "
"Okay."
Xiao Qiu took the wallet and was about to leave. Shi Mengwan suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute."
"Just leave it. It's almost time to get off work. I'll call him to inform him. You guys can get off work when it's time. "
Xiao Qiu didn't think too much about it. Shi Mengwan stayed in the office alone all year round to draw until late. She had a lounge upstairs. If it was late, she would sleep in the studio.
Since she said that she would inform the other party, she put down the wallet and left.
Shi Mengwan picked up the pen and was about to continue drawing, but when she saw the wallet, she couldn't help but reach out to take it.
However, just as she picked it up, she forced herself to put it down again. In her heart, she had already accepted that that man wasn't her Dear Brother, so why should she look at his things?
He returned his attention back to his drawing, and before he knew it, three hours had passed.
When she finished drawing, she realized that the night sky had darkened.
It was already very late. No wonder she was so hungry. She wanted to eat something to fill her stomach. However, her gaze landed on the wallet again.
