Chen Feifei looked at Zhan Haoze eagerly. There was obvious affection. She hooked her hand around Zhan Haoze's arm, looking very intimate.
"Brother Hao. I didn't expect President Huo to be the president of Tianyu Group. He looks so young. "
"Yes," Zhan Haoze replied. He wasn't too surprised. He had dealt with Huo Jinyao before.
"Also, he is so good to his wife."
Chen Feifei looked in Su Qingsang's direction, and she couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
Who wouldn't envy a woman like Su Qingsang? To have a man like Huo Jinyao, who was not only rich and handsome, but also good to her.
Zhan Haoze didn't reply. Chen Feifei couldn't help but stand in front of him. "Brother Hao, when we get married in the future, you will treat me like President Huo treats his wife. Right? "
Zhan Haoze pursed his thin lips and did not respond to Chen Feifei's words. Chen Feifei's eyes were filled with disappointment, but she forced herself to smile.
"Brother Hao, you'll always take care of me, right?"
Zhan Haoze responded softly, and his voice was a little perfunctory. Chen Feifei was not annoyed. Zhan Haoze had always been like this. If she wanted to be angry, she would have been angered to death.
Anyway, she believed that she and Zhan Haoze had been together for more than ten years. This was something that no one could compare to.
"Brother Hao, I saw Miss Luo and Miss Song. Let's go and say hello."
The Chen family had business dealings with both the Luo and Song families, and she also wanted to bring Zhan Haoze to them.
"Go ahead. I'm going to the bathroom. "
"Then go quickly and come back quickly. You know, when you're not around, I feel like I've lost my soul. "
Zhan Haoze didn't respond to Chen Feifei's words. He took her hand away from his and went to the bathroom.
Chen Feifei pursed her lips into a straight line. In a place where Zhan Haoze couldn't see, there was a flash of gloominess in her eyes.
She had spent a month fighting with Ling Xue. The conditions of the Ling Family were similar to her family. Speaking of which, she could be considered a difficult woman to deal with.
However, it was a pity that Ling Xue loved to play around. Relying on her good family background, she did not put men in her eyes. It was too easy to find dirt on such a woman.
Chen Feifei spent a lot of effort to find Ling Xue's weakness. She was sure that Ling Xue was in a terrible fix now, and it was impossible for her to have the time to pester Zhan Haoze anymore.
Zhan Haoze should have time to accompany her without that woman's entanglement, but he had become very cold to her recently.
When she asked, he said he was busy with work. In fact, the company was really busy recently. In this way, she couldn't even lose her temper.
He didn't even want to bring her to the banquet tonight. If she hadn't happened to see the invitation in his office, she wouldn't have known.
Chen Feifei was a little annoyed, but she would not show all her negative emotions in front of Zhan Haoze.
Curling up the corners of her lips, she walked towards the group of socialites with a perfect smile.
She was the eldest daughter of the Chen family. She had to maintain her most appropriate side at all times.
… …
Shi Mengwan had already put down her wine glass when she saw Zhan Haoze. She tried to look as if she hadn't noticed. But her action of putting down the glass was a little forceful.
For more than half a month, Zhan Haoze never appeared again.
She treated those two nights as a dream. During this period of time, she constantly convinced herself that it was just a dream.
She had already started to let go, but she saw such a scene again.
She had heard from Su Qingsang that Zhan Haoze had a fiancée. She also remembered seeing Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei together.
At that time, the two of them didn't have a real relationship, and she wasn't 100% sure that the other party was Qiao Ze.
But now, she couldn't bear to watch any longer. She walked away from the table and headed for the bathroom.
After leaving the banquet hall, Shi Mengwan's phone rang. It was a call from home. She took the phone and walked to the corner at the end of the corridor to answer it.
The stairwell was right next to it, and it was far away from the elevator, so there was no need to worry about people coming over.
Her mother asked her if she would go home on New Year's Day. Shi Mengwan didn't give a precise answer. There were many things to do at the end of the year. She really couldn't guarantee that she would have the time to go back.
"Your sister misses you very much. She's asked about you several times. He said he wanted to go to Lin City to see you. "
Shi Mengru was Shi Mengwan's younger sister. The little baby girl from back then was already 13 years old and was in junior high school.
The little girl had been close to this sister since she was young. She wanted to be with her sister the moment she returned home.
"Okay. I think I'll go back when I'm free. "
"You should come back when you're free. Your grandmother hasn't been in good health recently. She's been missing you."
Grandmother would miss her? Didn't she always think of herself as a money-losing commodity? Even though she had earned money outside and even bought a house.
In her grandmother's eyes, she was inferior to her uncle's cousin. Wasn't it a little ironic? She was already used to it. Her grandmother's preference for boys was engraved in her bones and couldn't be changed easily.
Silence. Even if Shi Mengwan went back, she wouldn't go to see her grandmother. So there was no need to say anything else.
"Wanwan?" Shi Mengwan's voice sounded a little cautious.
"Is there anything else? Mom? "
"You, are you still blaming your grandmother?"
"It's nothing." Shi Mengwan leaned against the wall behind her. The wall was a little cold, but she felt that this could keep her awake.
"Mom, don't think too much. I'm not coming back because I don't have time. If I have time, I'll naturally go back. "
"Wanwan." Shi Mengwan's voice had a hint of a sigh. After so many years, she had always felt that she had let this daughter down.
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I'm outside. "
"Okay. Your dad misses you too. If you're free, come back and stay for a few more days. "
"Got it." Shi Mengwan bit her lip. She thought for a moment and added, "It's really not that I don't want to come back. It's the end of the year and there are a lot of things to do in the studio. Why don't I wait for the New Year and come back to stay for a few more days?"
Shi Mengwan was just saying that. When the New Year really came, she would have things to do again.
Ever since she graduated and opened her own studio, she hadn't stayed at home for more than seven days.
"Okay, okay. I'll cook your favorite dishes when the time comes. "
Shi Mengwan was very happy. She nagged for a long time before hanging up. Shi Mengwan listened patiently and didn't interrupt her.
After hanging up the phone, she saw a black shadow on the ground in front of her.
Shi Mengwan was shocked. She took a big step back. She looked up. Zhan Haoze had arrived at some point in time.
He stood there, and the light from behind shone on him. The angle of the backlight made his facial features a little unclear.
He was tall and big. Perhaps it was because he was here to attend the banquet, but he was wearing a three-piece suit. The dark-patterned fabric stuck to his figure, making him look even taller and straighter.
Shi Mengwan looked into his eyes and could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
That was because she couldn't control the heartbeat of a woman toward a man.
Half of it was because she knew that this man was her Dear Brother. His existence and his appearance could make her lose her peace of mind for the first time.
She lowered her eyes and clenched her fists slightly. She actually had a lot to say and a lot to ask, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and walked past Zhan Haoze, intending to leave.
When she passed by Zhan Haoze, her arm was tightly wrapped around by Zhan Haoze. Her body froze there.
She looked at him with a slightly cold gaze and suppressed emotions.
He was also looking at her. His gaze was deep and unreadable.
Shi Mengwan was wearing a long black goddess dress today. The V-neck design exposed the snow-white skin on her chest to the air.
Behind it was a thin black gauze fabric. From this angle, he could even see her waistline.
Shi Mengwan felt that Zhan Haoze was holding her arm a little tightly. She looked at that hand and then at Zhan Haoze.
"Mr. Zhan, what's the matter?"
Mr. Zhan? Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes and suddenly pulled her body in his direction. Then, he hugged her and pushed her towards the stairwell.
In a corner that couldn't be seen by the surveillance cameras, Zhan Haoze pressed Shi Mengwan against the wall.
"Zhan –"
Their lips met, and all words were sealed in the kiss. Shi Mengwan was stunned for a moment. She looked at Zhan Haoze and actually forgot to resist for a moment.
His face was magnified in front of her eyes. The man in front of her was undoubtedly good-looking. Not only was he good-looking, but he also had a temperament that enchanted women.
Cold, arrogant, and deep. With a hint of arrogance and untamed.
Such a man was dangerous to women. He was like Poppy Soya.
His lips were slightly cold. In this season, it was undoubtedly a little cold outside. Shi Mengwan had been outside for so long, and her limbs were already cold.
Compared to his lips, his chest was much warmer. She was hugged by him and stimulated by his kiss. Her limbs were warm, but at the same time, she regained her rationality and thought.
What was he doing?
He was kissing her.
At the same time that he brought his fiancée to this banquet hall, he was actually kissing her here?
What kind of person did he think she was? Shi Mengwan was furious.
She tried to push him, but she couldn't push him away. She raised her foot to kick him, but he clamped her foot.
Shi Mengwan tried to struggle, but she couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried. She was furious. She couldn't push Zhan Haoze away, so she opened her mouth and bit his lips hard.
However, she didn't expect Zhan Haoze, who was already prepared, to let go of her at this moment. Shi Mengwan didn't notice and bit her lips.
The pain made Shi Mengwan let out a low cry. She had bitten very hard just now, and the skin on her lips was even slightly broken.
The pain made her even angrier. She looked at Zhan Haoze. He was still trapping her between the wall and him.
She raised her eyes and looked at him. Her gaze was filled with coldness.
"Let go of me."
The location wasn't right, so she couldn't shout. She deliberately lowered her voice and couldn't suppress her anger.
"Zhan Haoze, what do you mean?"
"Your fiancée is still inside. Zhan Haoze, let go of me."
Zhan Haoze didn't answer her question. He looked at the anger on Shi Mengwan's face and narrowed his eyes slightly. "She's not my fiancée."
This could be considered an explanation. After all, he had never had any romantic feelings for Chen Feifei.
Who would believe it? Thinking about the only two times she met Zhan Haoze and his performance with Chen Feifei, Chen Feifei was just short of hanging on him.
Even if she wasn't his fiancée, she was still his girlfriend.
Shi Mengwan was silent. Her body was tightly pressed against the wall. Her gaze wasn't focused on Zhan Haoze, but on an unknown point behind him.
"I understand. Mr. Zhan, can you let go of me now?"
Her reaction was beyond his expectations. Zhan Haoze stared at her face and pursed his lips slightly.
He looked at Shi Mengwan and had no intention of retreating.
"Mr. Zhan?" If he didn't move aside, she couldn't go back to the banquet hall. Although Su Qingsang wasn't the main character today, she was no different from the main character.
She might not have the time to look for her, but she didn't want Su Qingsang to suspect her.
"Did you take your medicine that day?"
This extremely abrupt question made Shi Mengwan's expression change slightly. She seemed to suddenly understand why Zhan Haoze was blocking her way.
"Mr. Zhan, what's wrong? Are you afraid that I'll use the child to threaten you or achieve some other goal? "
Shi Mengwan sneered. Now, she felt that even if the other party was the Dear Brother that she missed dearly, she wouldn't be able to suppress the anger in her heart.
"Don't worry, I've taken my medicine, and my period has already come. I'm not pregnant, and I won't use the child to do anything to you. "
After saying this extremely coldly, Shi Mengwan pushed Zhan Haoze's body and quickly headed in the direction of the banquet hall.
The moment her body left him, Zhan Haoze raised his hand and almost grabbed her hand, but in the end, he lowered it again.
He stared at Shi Mengwan's back. No one knew what he was thinking, but his gaze was deep.
… …
Shi Mengwan returned to the banquet hall and wasn't in the mood to stay any longer. Her lips were still hurting, and she had bitten them herself.
She went to the bathroom to freshen up her makeup and covered up the color with lipstick. It looked normal, but it couldn't suppress her anger.
She was a little angry, but because of the current occasion, she couldn't even flare up.
In the banquet hall, there were also people who knew her who came to greet her. Shi Mengwan's studio was now a little famous.
There were also some socialites who liked to order dresses from her. Shi Mengwan couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
After patiently exchanging pleasantries with those people, Shi Mengwan finally found a chance to tell Su Qingsang that she could leave first.
Su Qingsang knew that like herself, she didn't like such occasions very much. She asked her to come to her house for dinner in a few days, then waved her hand and let her go.
Coming out of the banquet hall, Shi Mengwan shrunk her neck when the cold wind blew.
The weather was very good today, and the sun was shining brightly. When she came, she only wore a trench coat.
Now that it was late at night, even though she was wearing a coat, she still felt cold.
She got into the car. Before going home, she thought that the refrigerator at home was almost empty, so she directly ordered some fruits and fresh food online.
It was already very late when she got home. Shi Mengwan entered the house and had just put down her bag and changed into her home clothes when someone knocked on the door.
She thought that the fresh food she ordered had arrived, so she got up to open the door. Unexpectedly, it was Zhan Haoze standing outside.
Shi Mengwan blocked the door with her body and glanced at Zhan Haoze. He was still wearing the three-piece suit from the previous cocktail party. The light in the corridor shone on his face. He was still expressionless, but his eyes were now staring at her with a burning gaze.
She felt her heart skip a beat again, and her hand behind the door couldn't help but tighten.
"What's the matter?"
Zhan Haoze didn't say anything. His gaze swept across her body. He tore off the pajamas she wore last time. The weather was a little cooler. She was wearing a pullover style home dress.
The pink bear on the front of the cotton dress looked especially cute. It didn't match her appearance at all, but it was surprisingly harmonious.
Zhan Haoze didn't say anything. He took a step forward and was so close that Shi Mengwan could smell the faint scent of mint on his body.
She took a deep breath and tried her best to make her voice sound normal and calm.
"Mr. Zhan, what's the matter?"
She deliberately kept the distance between the two of them so that Zhan Haoze wouldn't discover the fluctuations in her heart. She also didn't let him know that her heartbeat was out of order because of him, and that her emotions were affected because of him.
Her unapproachable appearance made Zhan Haoze's brows furrow imperceptibly. "Why? You're not calling me Dear Brother anymore? "
Shi Mengwan's hands behind the door tightened. She looked up at Zhan Haoze and met his eyes. "Didn't you tell me not to call you that? Mr. Zhan, since you don't admit that you're my Dear Brother, then just take it that I've recognized the wrong person. It's getting late. Please go ahead. "
Shi Mengwan's palm exerted force and directly slammed the door shut. Zhan Haoze, who didn't expect her to do this to him, was stunned and shut outside the door by her.
Shi Mengwan didn't realize what she had done until she closed the door. She leaned against the door with a very ugly expression.
Yes. He clearly said that he wasn't her Dear Brother, and he clearly didn't admit it. Why did he have to tease her heartstrings again and again?
There was another knock on the door behind her. Shi Mengwan felt angry and didn't want to pay attention to it at all.
The knocking on the door stopped. In less than two minutes, it sounded again. Shi Mengwan still ignored it and let him stay.
Who cared what he wanted to do? Since he wasn't her Dear Brother, she had nothing to say to him.
Shi Mengwan wanted to go back to her room to take a shower, but when she heard the knock on the door again, she couldn't restrain herself.
She angrily ran to open the door and said without thinking, "Zhan Haoze, what do you want? You clearly – "
When she saw the deliveryman standing outside with a confused face, Shi Mengwan's expression suddenly became very embarrassed.
"Sorry. You – "
"Ms. Shi Mengwan, right? We're from T Cat Direct. These are the goods you ordered from T Cat – "
"Thank you." Shi Mengwan awkwardly took the delivery box from the other party's hand. After signing, she was still a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I wasn't angry at you just now. "
"I know. You were angry at this gentleman, right?"
The courier stood a little to the side, and Shi Mengwan realized that Zhan Haoze hadn't left yet.
The courier misunderstood and thought that the two of them were lovers quarreling. "Miss, even if you quarreled with your boyfriend, don't lock him outside the door. When I stepped out of the elevator just now, I was almost shocked when I saw someone. "
"You misunderstood, we're not –"
"Thank you for your patronage. If you're satisfied, remember to give me a five-star rating. "
The courier ignored Shi Mengwan's explanation. This matter had nothing to do with him. The other party took the list and walked towards the elevator.
When he passed by Zhan Haoze, he didn't forget to blink at him. "Sir, if your girlfriend is angry, you have to coax her. You have to coax her. Our T Cat Direct can also order flowers online. If you need them, you can order them online at any time. "
This unexpected advertisement made Shi Mengwan didn't know what to say.
She hugged the big box and was about to close the door, but this time, she failed.
Zhan Haoze wasn't prepared just now, but this time, he was prepared. She was still holding a box in her hand. Before she could close the door, he had already come in.
"You –"
Shi Mengwan wanted to chase him out, but Zhan Haoze directly closed the door.
"Zhan Haoze." Shi Mengwan stared at him for a long time. The box in her hand was really not light. She turned around and went to the kitchen, planning to chase him away later.
After entering the kitchen, Shi Mengwan had always had the habit of tidying up things properly.
She took out the fruits and vegetables inside and sorted them out. She hadn't eaten anything just now and planned to make herself a bowl of noodles.
Knowing that Zhan Haoze wouldn't be able to chase him away for a while, Shi Mengwan decided to solve her own needs first. She would talk about it after she was full.
She took out tomatoes and eggs and planned to cook tomato and egg noodles. The cabbage that was delivered today was also not bad. She washed it together.
Shi Mengwan didn't like to eat whole leaves of vegetables when she cooked noodles. When she ate vegetables, she had to cut them into pieces.
This was a very strange habit. Shi Mengwan cut the vegetables and processed the ingredients.
Her culinary skills weren't bad. As the eldest daughter of the family, she had been studying and working outside for so many years. Her culinary skills were quite good.
In less than 20 minutes, she had already taken the noodles out of the pot and scooped them up.
The eggs on top were fried golden, and the tomatoes and vegetables matched well. They looked very appetizing.
Shi Mengwan had forgotten that Zhan Haoze was still outside. Just as she was about to take the noodles to the dining table outside, she turned around and found Zhan Haoze standing at the kitchen door. He had been staring at her for an unknown period of time. She didn't know how long he had been there.
Shi Mengwan's expression turned ugly again.
She didn't want to pay attention to Zhan Haoze. In fact, seeing him in front of her always made her uncontrollably think of what happened back then. She thought of the year when she and her Dear Brother depended on each other.
She picked up the noodles and passed Zhan Haoze to place them on the dining table. Shi Mengwan was about to sit down and eat the noodles.
However, she realized that Zhan Haoze had also followed her out and sat at the dining table.
Shi Mengwan, who was about to eat the noodles, stopped for a moment. She looked at Zhan Haoze and didn't know what was wrong with her.
"President Zhan, you haven't left. Do you want to eat noodles?"
Zhan Haoze glanced at her. Before she could react, he brought the bowl of noodles over and placed it in front of him.
Including the chopsticks in her hand. She was stunned for a moment and saw that Zhan Haoze was like a robber. He actually started to eat the noodles that she cooked just like that.
"You –"
Shi Mengwan wanted to say that she was just being polite. She didn't want to treat him to noodles at all, okay? Didn't he know that this was just China -style politeness?
Also, who gave him the right to come uninvited and sit in the living room of her house, eating the supper that she had prepared for herself?
"Zhan Haoze, you –"
