The room was very quiet. Zhan Haoze and her eyes met, and they both saw their own shadows in each other's eyes.
Shi Mengwan's face was pale and her expression was haggard. Her lips were slightly swollen. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness, anger, and conflict as she stared at him in pain.
Zhan Haoze slightly missed her gaze and didn't look at her. His silence, in Shi Mengwan's eyes, meant that he didn't want to let her go.
She couldn't help but reach out and grab the front of his clothes.
"Tell me. Zhan Haoze, what do you want to do for you to let me go? "
It had only been a few days, but she felt mentally and physically exhausted. She had always been weak in front of him, and she had never been able to be tough.
She hated herself for being like this, but she couldn't control herself. As long as she met him, as long as she encountered something related to him, she would become different from herself.
She had clearly made up her mind to get rid of him. She had clearly thought that she had made it clear to him, but what was he doing now?
There was still a wound on her lips. He had bitten her a few days ago.
He had forgotten to control his strength when he had lost control, and her injury hadn't healed yet.
He raised his hand and gently caressed her lips. His movements were very light, but Shi Mengwan slapped his hand away.
"Zhan Haoze, answer me. What do you want to do for you to let me go? Tell me, tell me. "
She was really angry. She didn't care about her exhausted body and kept pounding on his chest.
To him, that kind of strength was almost like a cat's paw scratching an itch.
Before Shi Mengwan could react, he picked her up and put her on the bed.
"Zhan Haoze …"
Shi Mengwan's voice was about to turn hoarse. She didn't have any more strength to resist Zhan Haoze.
She was angry, so she simply closed her eyes and let him be. He could do whatever he wanted. If he didn't want to let her go, what could she do?
Zhan Haoze found some clothes, picked her up, and put them on for her. Then, he carried her to the bathroom.
Her feet indeed didn't have any strength at all. Zhan Haoze supported her and let her lean against his chest. He squeezed the toothpaste for her.
Putting the toothbrush in her hand, Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze in the mirror. She took the toothbrush and brushed her teeth as if she was venting her anger.
She used so much force that her gums were bleeding.
Zhan Haoze frowned and gently grabbed her hand. Shi Mengwan stopped for a moment. She looked at Zhan Haoze's face in the mirror, and he was also looking at her.
In the end, she was defeated. She loosened her grip a little and brushed her teeth carelessly, then rinsed her mouth.
She wanted to say something, but Zhan Haoze picked her up again. This time, he carried her to the dining room outside.
There were many small plates on the dining table, filling it to the brim.
There were barbecued pork buns, egg tarts, shrimp dumplings, steamed shumai, beef tripe, beef meatballs, salt and pepper duck chin, steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce, spring rolls, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns.
There were two cups of soy milk and two bowls of shrimp porridge on the side.
"…" Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze. He put her down and pushed one of the bowls of shrimp porridge in front of her.
"You –" Shi Mengwan didn't know what to say. She saw the marks on these butterflies. This was a very famous Hong Kong-style tea restaurant nearby.
That restaurant's business was very good, and because business was so good, it never delivered takeout.
And with so many, don't tell her that Zhan Haoze brought it back himself.
"Eat."
Zhan Haoze's voice was indifferent. Shi Mengwan didn't have a chance to speak even if she wanted to. She looked at the bowl of steaming porridge and didn't move for a long time.
"Do you want me to feed you?"
Zhan Haoze's long and narrow eyes raised slightly. Shi Mengwan shrunk her neck. Her mind thought of some of the discordant scenes of the past few days.
She didn't dare to let him feed her.
She picked up the bowl of porridge and found that such a simple action made her hands a little sore.
She couldn't help but glare at Zhan Haoze again. Before he noticed, she looked away.
The porridge tasted good. She had been to this tea restaurant with Su Qingsang before. At that time, she felt that it would be great if the other party was willing to deliver takeout every day. That way, she wouldn't have to wait in line. She could order takeout earlier and eat before going to work.
However, the people inside said that because business was too good, even if there was takeout, it wouldn't be delivered, so there wasn't any.
Now that she looked at the table full of breakfast, she didn't know how Zhan Haoze did it.
She didn't have a big appetite, but she hadn't eaten well for the past few days. For three days in a row, she ate takeout.
It was the New Year, and many shops were on holiday. She didn't have much choice. Zhan Haoze was tormenting her again, and she was really hungry.
Shi Mengwan, who had eaten more than usual, put down the bowl and looked at Zhan Haoze in front of her.
She couldn't understand him more and more now.
Zhan Haoze didn't eat slowly, but he didn't look rough. He took a big bite, but he chewed slowly. His behavior could even be considered elegant.
She thought of what Xiao Qi had said before. He said that Zhan Haoze had founded several companies over the years and had done a lot of things.
She had always known that he was an ambitious and ambitious man.
But his achievements today still made her feel a little surprised and shocked. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed very normal.
She remembered that he had nothing back then. But he could always conjure something at the critical moment.
For example, money, food. For example, the expenses that the two of them needed.
She remembered that time when she changed his clothes, his coat was too thick and she couldn't do anything about it. In the end, she could only sew the sleeves a little shorter so that she could wear it as a thick coat.
However, because it was too thick, she accidentally pricked her hand.
Qiao Ze, who didn't notice what she was doing, snatched the clothes from her hand in the next second, as well as the needle and thread.
The youth put her index finger into his mouth. Shi Mengwan looked at his handsome face and felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm fine."
She said that, but the youth didn't let go of her. His gaze was fervent, and there seemed to be flames in it.
Unfortunately, Shi Mengwan was too young at that time, so she didn't understand at all.
The youth let go of her, but didn't let her touch the needle and thread again.
Shi Mengwan thought to herself, how could she not touch it? Their lives weren't very good now. Although his clothes weren't completely suitable for her to wear after he changed them, and they were even a little ugly.
But wasn't it enough to keep out the cold? Her thoughts at that time were that simple. She thought that after Qiao Ze left home, she would continue when he wasn't around. The youth brought back two sets of brand new clothes the next day.
Not only did the youth bring her clothes, but he also brought matching shoes and hair accessories. There were three or four sets of clothes inside and outside.
Although they weren't branded, she wasn't ignorant at that time. She knew that these clothes weren't cheap.
"Where did you get them?"
At that time, the youth held her hand and told her, "Wanwan, trust me. I won't let you suffer."
Shi Mengwan didn't know that it was a promise. She blinked her eyes. She naturally believed the youth's words.
"Dear Brother …"
"Wanwan, as long as you follow me, I won't let you suffer."
Give him time, he would definitely let her live a good life. That was the youth's promise. Although he was young and immature, he was extremely serious.
The chair beside Shi Mengwan was pulled away by someone. She was shocked. When she came back to her senses, she realized that Zhan Haoze had already finished eating.
He had actually taken care of so many things.
Once again, he picked her up and placed her on his lap.
"What were you thinking about just now?" He asked.
Shi Mengwan bit her lip and couldn't answer Zhan Haoze's question.
Zhan Haoze turned her body around and looked her in the eye. His eyes were dark, and Shi Mengwan couldn't help but think of the youth from back then.
It was also the same eyes, and it was also the same serious and solemn expression. But what he did was the complete opposite of what Zhan Haoze did.
Zhan Haoze pinched her chin again, and his brows were tightly knitted. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that she was always distracted by his side.
This time, Shi Mengwan didn't grab his hand. She even bravely raised her head to look at him.
"Zhan Haoze, I'm thinking about you."
She held his cheek with her hand and stared at his face.
"I'm thinking about you."
Seeing his slightly furrowed brows, she reached out her hand and gently smoothed it. "I'm thinking, why do you want me? I'm thinking, what do you mean? I'm thinking, what do I have to do for you to let me go? "
Meeting Zhan Haoze's eyes, which had become even deeper, she gently raised the corners of her lips. "Zhan Haoze. Can you tell me? "
She had already said it several times today, but he hadn't given her an answer even once.
Zhan Haoze loosened his grip on her chin and pulled her hand away. However, he didn't answer her question.
"Zhan Haoze." Shi Mengwan held his face again. This time, her gaze was very serious.
"In your heart, am I a prostitute?"
Zhan Haoze's expression suddenly became quite ugly. "Shi Mengwan."
"If you don't treat me like a prostitute, then why are you treating me like this?"
Shi Mengwan really couldn't understand. The Dear Brother she liked, admired, and had always been thinking about shouldn't be like this.
She stared at him, stubbornly wanting an answer.
Although the home clothes she was wearing were thick, they were designed with a large round collar. She held his face like this, and her hands moved forward so that her neckline could be seen clearly in front of him.
The green and purple marks on it were all left by him. It also reminded him of how crazy they had been these few days. Zhan Haoze felt his body stiffen, but he knew that the other party couldn't take any more. His gaze shifted to the side again.
"Zhan Haoze."
He wanted to avoid it, but Shi Mengwan didn't give him a chance to avoid it.
"Xiao Qi is a blind date arranged by my parents. I'm twenty-six this year. Perhaps I'm not considered old among the unmarried girls in Lin City. But in our town, many girls of my age are already married and have children. "
She wasn't someone who followed the crowd, nor was she someone who followed the crowd. She said so much today because that person was Zhan Haoze.
"How other people's lives are has nothing to do with me. But I can't ignore my parents' thoughts. "
"If you don't treat me like a prostitute, then can I treat it as if you also have feelings for me? At least, you like me a little and care a little, don't you? "
As long as he had feelings for her, she could wait and persevere.
Zhan Haoze's face was turned straight by her again and he looked at her. Her eyes were fervent, and the light in them made the room lose its color.
Compared to him, she was undoubtedly brave. At least in terms of feelings, she was much braver than him.
The air was silent, and Zhan Haoze was silent.
Shi Mengwan's eyes darkened, and she retracted her hand.
"Zhan Haoze. You can go. " No matter how much she loved him, she wouldn't lose her dignity and rationality. She wouldn't lower herself to this extent.
She retreated a little, and her gaze was cold. She was about to get up and leave, but Zhan Haoze reached out and hugged her before she could leave.
He wrapped his arms around her tightly and hugged her tightly.
"Zhan Haoze." Shi Mengwan heard his heartbeat. Her voice was very hoarse, but the words she spat out were quite clear. "Don't be like this."
Zhan Haoze didn't let go. He grabbed her waist tightly and pressed his chin against her neck. His body was a little stiff, as if he was enduring it.
"Zhan Haoze, let go of me."
She didn't struggle. She no longer had any strength. In three days, she had almost exhausted all of her strength.
"Shi Mengwan."
That person finally spoke. His voice was a little hoarse. He called her name. He pressed her face tightly against his chest. When he spoke, she could even hear the vibration of his chest.
"Give me some time."
Shi Mengwan looked up at him. His pitch-black eyes were also looking at her at this moment. She couldn't understand the emotions in them.
"Give you time? What time? The time to marry me? "Shi Mengwan's tone was a little mocking. She didn't believe Zhan Haoze's words.
Zhan Haoze stared at her face and actually nodded. Shi Mengwan looked at him. For a moment, she couldn't tell what she felt.
"Zhan Haoze –"
"Give me time," Zhan Haoze said again.
Shi Mengwan lowered her eyes. She heard the sound of her heart beating. It was the desire in the depths of her heart.
She really wanted to marry her Dear Brother and spend the rest of her life with him. The anticipation in the depths of her heart made her not even have time to think about more realistic problems.
"You, really?"
If she didn't like him, she naturally wouldn't be so worried about gains and losses. But if she liked him and fell in love with him, there was nothing she could do. It was impossible for her to act according to her own subjective will.
Zhan Haoze looked at her and nodded. Shi Mengwan was very excited, but the more excited she was, the calmer she appeared.
She just stared at Zhan Haoze, and he was also looking at her. Shi Mengwan blinked and tried to calm herself down.
"How long?"
Seeing that Zhan Haoze didn't say anything, he only frowned slightly, as if he was in a difficult position. Shi Mengwan smiled bitterly. "You can't make me wait forever, can you?"
She didn't believe in the saying that a woman's youth was limited, but she had her own problems right now.
She couldn't ignore Grandma Shi's two-year period. Looking at Grandma Shi's body, it wouldn't be a problem for her to live to a hundred years old. At that time, if she didn't bring a man back, what would happen to Grandma Shi?
"Zhan Haoze, tell me, how long do you want me to wait for you?"
There was silence. Zhan Haoze's thin lips pursed into a straight line. He looked like he was in a difficult position.
Shi Mengwan felt that she couldn't continue the conversation. She thought that she had already done everything a girl could do. What else did Zhan Haoze want?
"Zhan Haoze." She forcefully got up from his arms and took a big step back.
Her feet were still a little soft. Such a simple action made her feel uncomfortable in the place that she couldn't tell others about.
She gritted her teeth and forced herself to ignore the feeling in her body. "You can go."
Zhan Haoze held her hand before she wanted to go back to her room. "It won't be long."
It won't be long?
Shi Mengwan really wanted to ask him, how long would it be? But she couldn't ask. She looked at Zhan Haoze. His eyes were like a deep spring. She was deeply immersed in them.
She was once again pulled into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her gently.
He wasn't as rough as he had been these few days, nor was he as overbearing as before.
He kissed her gently, bit by bit, and he carefully traced the shape of her lips.
The strong Zhan Haoze would make it impossible for Shi Mengwan to refuse, but such a gentle Zhan Haoze made Shi Mengwan confused.
She slowly closed her eyes and allowed herself to be intoxicated by his kiss.
He finally retreated a little when she was almost suffocated. He pressed his forehead against hers. His breathing was also a little heavy and a little breathless.
"Give me some time."
His voice was slightly hoarse as he uttered those words in an extremely soft voice.
Shi Mengwan looked into his eyes and finally nodded weakly.
Her body was carried by him again, but he didn't go to the room. Instead, he went to the living room.
"Do you want to watch a movie?"
Zhan Haoze asked her. Shi Mengwan blinked at him. Although she didn't understand what he meant, she still nodded.
She got up and chose a movie called "Life is Beautiful". Shi Mengwan had seen this movie before, but it had been too long, so she had forgotten many of the plot.
The film festival played very slowly, and she slowly recalled the plot along with the movie.
Her eyes were a little red. When she saw Guido take a very ridiculous step and die under the muzzle of Na Cui, Shi Mengwan's eyes fell.
There was a tissue in front of her. She took it and wiped her tears away.
She sniffed and found that Zhan Haoze was staring at her. She suddenly didn't want him to see her like this.
She turned her face and continued to focus on the plot. The movie ended very quickly, but her emotions didn't come out of that kind of environment.
Her body was turned around by Zhan Haoze. He raised his hand, as if he couldn't understand the change in her emotions.
"Why are you crying?"
"Don't you feel touched?"
Zhan Haoze looked at her expressionlessly and didn't say anything. There was no need to say anything to know that he probably didn't feel anything at all.
"If you're not touched, why did you say you wanted to watch a movie?"
Zhan Haoze turned his gaze away and picked up the remote control to watch another movie. Shi Mengwan seemed to have realized something.
"You, you didn't say you wanted to watch a movie because Xiao Qi asked me to watch a movie yesterday, did you?"
Zhan Haoze turned around and glared at her. Soon, he looked at the screen again.
However, Shi Mengwan clearly saw that his earlobes were slowly turning red.
This realization stunned her for a moment. She bit her lip. For a moment, she thought that there was something wrong with her eyes.
"Are you jealous of Xiao Qi?"
Shi Mengwan asked subconsciously. In the next second, she saw that Zhan Haoze's earlobes were even redder.
"…"
At this moment, Zhan Haoze turned around and glared at her. His gaze looked very fierce.
Shi Mengwan seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. She still wanted to say something. However, Zhan Haoze kissed her lips.
It was a kiss that was rougher than before, not giving her a chance to speak.
Shi Mengwan blinked her eyes. There was a faint smile in her bright and beautiful eyes. They were extremely bright, like stars in the sky.
However, Zhan Haoze raised his hand to cover her eyes and deepened the kiss.
Bit by bit, his lips stole her breath and occupied it. His hands also started to be dishonest.
Shi Mengwan wanted to get rid of his hand, but he pushed her down on the sofa and covered her eyes with the silk towel she had used before.
When her eyes couldn't see, her senses would become especially sharp.
The weather was still cold. Shi Mengwan bit her lip. "Not here."
The man seemed to want to punish her for mocking him just now. Not only did he not let go of her, but he also firmed his determination to do it here.
She couldn't resist, so she could only dance with him.
… …
At night, Shi Mengwan, who was sleeping on the bed, righteously rejected Zhan Haoze and didn't let him continue.
She had really been tortured by him too much these few days. If he continued, her waist would definitely break.
Zhan Haoze stared at her face for a long time, but in the end, he really didn't continue.
He hugged her waist and pressed his chin against the top of her hair. The lights in the room had already been turned off, leaving only a bedside lamp.
Shi Mengwan's back was facing Zhan Haoze. She looked at the small lamp and her voice was very soft.
"Zhan Haoze."
"…"
He didn't respond, but Shi Mengwan knew that he wasn't asleep.
"Don't you need to go to work?"
It was already past the seventh day of the Chinese New Year. Normally speaking, many companies would have already started work.
"No need."
Because he was lying down, his voice sounded a little hoarse, but it was especially sexy.
"You –" Shi Mengwan thought of what Xiao Qi said. "You're starting a company now?"
"Yes."
"Pretty good." She still remembered the young man who had nothing more than ten years ago. At that time, he said that he had to earn a lot of money and that he would give her a good life.
"Does your company make money?"
"Yes."
"That's good."
Shi Mengwan nodded gently. At this moment, he turned her body around and let her face him.
She looked up at him. "Can you tell me about you?"
She wanted to know more about him, such as where he had been all these years and what else he had done other than starting a company.
Didn't he have no home or parents? Then how did he go to university?
She had a lot of questions to ask, but Zhan Haoze pressed her face against his chest. "Sleep."
"Zhan Haoze –"
"If you don't sleep, I'll do something to make you want to sleep."
Shi Mengwan's face was a little red, so she really didn't ask. If he didn't want to tell her, she wouldn't ask. When he wanted to tell her, she would ask.
She sighed slightly in her heart. She didn't open her eyes. Instead, she rubbed her face against his chest.
"Zhan Haoze."
"Yes?"
"Two years."
"What?"
"I'll wait for you for two years."
Shi Mengwan's voice was very soft. She already wanted to sleep. These few days, she really didn't have much time to sleep.
She didn't hear Zhan Haoze's response, and she didn't need his response.
"If you can't marry me in two years, I'll find a random man to marry."
She said.
Zhan Haoze stared at her face, but she seemed to be completely asleep and didn't make a sound.
After a long time, her steady breathing could be heard, confirming that she had really fallen asleep.
Two years?
