There was silence in the car. Zhan Haoze did not respond to Tang Hua's words.
He knew that Tang Hua was right.
At this stage, it was best and most suitable for him to get engaged to Chen Feifei.
Putting aside the fact that it could divert the attention of that group of people, the Chen family had some influence in C Province.
Chen Feifei's maternal family also had a certain background. Although Chen Yongchang was a despicable person, he truly loved his daughter.
Chen Feifei wasn't Shi Mengwan. Moreover, it was just an engagement. It wouldn't affect anything.
If he was rational, he would have agreed.
Lowering his eyes, he rubbed his temples. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's solve the problem in front of us first. "
"Boss?" Tang Hua felt that it was a pity. This was a really good opportunity.
"Alright." Zhan Haoze was not only thinking about the matter in front of him, but also other things. "Tell Old Six and Old Seven to hurry up."
He was really impatient from waiting.
"Understood." Tang Hua looked at Zhan Haoze's expression and felt a little uncomfortable. "Boss, don't worry. It's all temporary. When our troubles are resolved, you can be with sister-in-law."
It was just that the troubles in front of them were not easy to solve. He knew, and so did Zhan Haoze.
The carriage fell into silence. After a long time, Zhan Haoze turned his face and looked out of the window.
They had already arrived at the Chen Corporation building. Thinking of Chen Yongchang, that old fox, his face darkened.
"During this period of time, Chen Yongchang's movements are also very big. Be on guard."
"I know." Tang Hua thought of Chen Yongchang, and there was a hint of disdain on his lips. However, when the car stopped, all traces of those emotions disappeared.
… …
Zhan Haoze hadn't been in Lin City for a while, so there was a pile of work that he hadn't finished dealing with.
For the whole morning, he was basically dealing with all kinds of official matters. Apart from the Chen Corporation's business, he was also responsible for several companies under his name.
When it was almost lunchtime, Chen Feifei arrived.
"Brother Hao." Chen Feifei looked at Zhan Haoze and felt very wronged. "Where have you been all this time? Why aren't you back yet? "
"I went on a business trip." Zhan Haoze's voice was very soft. Chen Feifei found that it was very rare for Zhan Haoze to not smile at her for a long time, but his attitude today could be considered gentle.
She was happy in her heart, and the pout on her face lessened a little. "Brother Hao, do you know how much I miss you? You're always busy when I call you, and you don't reply to my messages. I almost thought something happened to you. "
"Didn't I tell you? I'm on a business trip. "Zhan Haoze looked at her." What's the matter? "
"Can't I look for you if I have nothing to do?" Chen Feifei stood in front of him. "Brother Hao, you haven't eaten with me for a long time. No matter what, you have to eat with me today. "
"I still have work here."
"Work, work, all you know is work." Chen Feifei pouted her lips. "Work will never be finished. I want you to accompany me."
She looked at the time and stepped forward to hold Zhan Haoze's hand. "Let's go. It's almost time for dinner. You still have time to eat, right?"
"Feifei —"
"Let's go." Chen Feifei pulled Zhan Haoze up. Zhan Haoze originally wanted to pull her hand away, but he didn't know what he thought of, but he let her pull him up and go outside.
When he passed by the assistant's office, he happened to see Tang Hua. When Tang Hua saw his actions, he obviously heaved a sigh of relief.
"President Zhan."
"Yes." Zhan Haoze nodded. "I'm going out to eat with Feifei. You keep an eye on the company."
"Yes." Tang Hua nodded and gave Zhan Haoze a look. "President Zhan, be careful on the road. I'm afraid there will be a traffic jam at this time."
"I know."
Chen Feifei looked at Tang Hua and then at Zhan Haoze. "There will be a traffic jam at this time? It can't be, right? "
"Let's go." Zhan Haoze brought Tang Hua downstairs. They went downstairs and got into the car. As expected, they saw a few tails behind them.
Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes. He didn't move. When Chen Feifei's face approached his arm, he didn't push her away.
When they arrived at the restaurant, it was Chen Feifei's favorite restaurant. After entering the door, Zhan Haoze looked behind him from the corner of his eye. The car that was following them had already stopped on the opposite side of the road.
There was a trace of mockery in Zhan Haoze's eyes.
"Brother Hao? What do you want to eat? "
"Anything is fine." Zhan Haoze turned to look at Chen Feifei. It was rare that he didn't give her a cold face like before.
..
Shi Mengwan went to the studio today. After a while, she would go to France to participate in the fashion design competition. Before that, she had to arrange the content of the studio.
However, today, she was obviously a little absent-minded. She was thinking about what to eat tonight.
She hadn't seen Zhan Haoze for so long. Should she make it more grand today?
With this thought in mind, Shi Mengwan couldn't help but turn on her phone. Here, she downloaded an app that specialized in teaching people how to cook.
Looking at the menu inside, Shi Mengwan left the company early to buy ingredients.
When she got home, she started preparing dinner. She sent a message to Zhan Haoze, asking him to remember to come back for dinner.
When Zhan Haoze received his message, he had just driven out of the Chen Corporation's building.
In the Chen Corporation's building, Zhan Haoze had already gotten into the car. He was about to head in the direction of Shi Mengwan's house when he saw the people who had helped him shake off at noon following him again.
Zhan Haoze's face darkened. Thinking about his apartment near the company, he turned the car around and drove in the direction of the apartment.
During the rush hour, the traffic was very heavy. It wasn't easy for him to shake off those three cars.
The car drove to the apartment. Because this was a high-end residential area, cars outside couldn't enter, so Zhan Haoze didn't have to worry about those people following him.
After entering the underground parking lot, he went upstairs and changed his clothes. He disguised himself before going downstairs again.
He changed his car and left from another exit. As expected, there were people guarding the other exit.
He drove the car on the road, but the car behind him didn't move.
When Zhan Haoze arrived at Shi Mengwan's apartment, she had already waited for him for nearly two hours.
Seeing Zhan Haoze enter the door, Shi Mengwan's worry was half relieved, but she couldn't help but ask.
"You've been at work until now?"
"Yes."
Zhan Haoze replied, but Shi Mengwan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"You –"
Other than in bed, every time she saw Zhan Haoze, he was wearing a suit and shirt. Today, he was wearing a casual jacket.
"You didn't wear this to work this morning?"
"Yes." Zhan Haoze nodded. "I accidentally poured coffee on my clothes at the company, so I changed."
In fact, he had put on a beard and a hat just now, but he had removed those disguises before coming up.
Shi Mengwan felt that it was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange. After thinking about it, she pulled Zhan Haoze's hand.
"Wait a moment. Dinner will be ready soon."
Shi Mengwan gestured for him to wait for a while as she spoke, then she went to the kitchen.
Her footsteps were a little fast. Zhan Haoze didn't quite understand why she was in such a hurry until he saw the dining table.
There was a candlestick on the white modern dining table. Beside the candlestick was a bouquet of white roses in an exquisite vase. It looked very festive.
The tablecloths and cutlery had been laid out on both sides. From everything, it could be seen that Shi Mengwan had carefully arranged today's dinner.
He still remembered the clothes she was wearing. A red, close-fitting dress.
Zhan Haoze couldn't help but get up and walk towards the kitchen. Shi Mengwan had just taken out the ingredients to process. When she saw him come in, her face was a little red.
"You, you go out. I'll be ready soon. "
With him here, she would be too embarrassed to show off.
Zhan Haoze stood at the door and didn't move. He just stared at his face. Shi Mengwan felt more and more uncomfortable under his gaze. She reached out to push him.
"Go out. Hurry up, go out."
Zhan Haoze pulled her hand over, lowered his head, and kissed her lips hard.
He didn't go deeper and stopped after a brief kiss. "I'll wait for you."
He finally left the kitchen. Shi Mengwan's face was a little red and a little hot. She patted her face to let her breathing and heartbeat return to normal.
She turned around, looked at the ingredients on the cooking table, and began to work.
She had tried frying steak before, but the taste was really only average. She only hoped that Zhan Haoze wouldn't mind.
Half an hour later, Shi Mengwan brought out the fried steak, the pasta she had made, and a salad.
"It's ready to eat."
She set everything up and looked at Zhan Haoze, but he suddenly grabbed her hand. "I think you've also prepared wine?"
Wine? Shi Mengwan's pretty face turned red. She had really prepared it.
But when he said it directly, it gave her a feeling that he couldn't wait.
She turned around shyly and took out the bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet.
"It's not a particularly expensive wine."
She didn't know much about wine, so she just picked a relatively expensive bottle to buy.
"It's okay."
Zhan Haoze stood up and watched her prepare all of this. He resisted the urge to go forward and hug her. Instead, he opened the wine and poured it for her and himself.
Shi Mengwan sat down opposite him. The dining table wasn't big. She picked up her glass and clinked glasses with him.
Zhan Haoze took the glass from her hand and stared at her face with a burning gaze.
"What's wrong?" Shi Mengwan felt uncomfortable under his gaze. "Is there something on my face?"
"No." Zhan Haoze shook his head and gently clinked glasses with her. "I just have something to tell you."
"What?"
What was it that made her so serious?
"From tomorrow onwards, our company has a lot of things to do. I might not be able to come here every day."
He was able to leave his home and come here successfully today because those people hadn't reacted yet. Once they reacted, it wouldn't be so simple.
"You can't come here every day?"
Shi Mengwan bit her lip, as if she was thinking about the meaning behind his words. "Then, how long will it take?"
Zhan Haoze didn't say anything. He wasn't willing to give her a promise. "It'll take some time."
Shi Mengwan lowered her head and took a sip of wine. She didn't know much about wine, but now she felt that this wine was a little bitter.
"Yes, did you encounter any problems?"
Zhan Haoze looked at her and shook his head gently. "It's just ordinary work. I'll be fine after I'm done with this."
"Oh." Shi Mengwan didn't know what else to say.
"Let's eat."
The meal was very quiet. Shi Mengwan even forgot to light the candle on the candlestick.
She sat there, feeling inexplicably depressed. However, when she looked at Zhan Haoze's overly handsome facial features, she suppressed the depression in her heart.
It didn't matter. There were also times when she didn't care about anything when she drew. This was just right.
She was going to France to compete in a while, so it was good to take this time to prepare more.
Although she thought so in her heart, her face still showed a reluctant expression. The food in front of her seemed to have become tasteless.
The moment Zhan Haoze raised his head, he saw her expression. He picked up the wine and took a sip. He stood up and walked in front of her.
He picked her up and placed her on his lap.
"Unhappy?"
"No."
Zhan Haoze turned her face and looked at her. Shi Mengwan bit her lip. "If you want to be busy, go ahead. It just so happens that I have something to do too. So, I've been very busy recently. "
She blinked. For some reason, she just felt that Zhan Haoze wasn't telling the truth.
But she didn't need him to tell the truth now. "I'm going to France to compete next month. It just so happens that I need to prepare well during this period of time. Why don't you not come until I come back from France? "
With such a long time, it would be enough for him to finish his work, right?
At this moment, her lips were suddenly kissed by Zhan Haoze. He grabbed her waist and easily put his hand under the hem of her red dress.
Shi Mengwan looked at him and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck. "Not here."
However, Zhan Haoze didn't listen to her. He gently bit her lips and let go. "Just here."
His lips moved bit by bit to her ear. "Not just here. There's also the kitchen, the living room, and the bathroom. Today, we'll do it in every place."
Shi Mengwan felt her face burning. The hint in his words almost made her unable to control herself.
This man didn't speak much, but the things he did and the words he occasionally said always made her feel that he was so indecent.
However, she soon didn't have the energy to think more. Her body was squeezed open by him bit by bit. Her consciousness began to drift away from the Ninth Heaven.
..
When Zhan Haoze left Shi Mengwan's apartment, he put on his disguise again.
He returned to his apartment at dawn. When he entered the apartment, he was not surprised to see the few cars waiting for him at the entrance of the neighborhood last night.
There was a flash of darkness in his eyes. After entering the door, he removed his disguise and took out his phone to make a call.
The other party only asked someone to follow him, but he didn't ask anyone to make a move. What did that mean? Was he looking for an opportunity, or did he want to play a bigger game?
No matter which it was, he would accompany him to the end.
The moment the call was connected, he walked to the balcony and looked down at the few cars below.
"Help me do something."
After hanging up the phone, his fingertips accidentally touched the photo album.
There was a photo on it that had just been taken today. The faint light of the morning shone on Shi Mengwan's face. She was sleeping on the bed, her entire person peaceful and quiet.
After staring at the photo for a while, Zhan Haoze saved the photo into an encrypted document. He put the phone aside.
Shi Mengwan didn't expect Zhan Haoze to really not appear.
When she woke up, he was already gone. There was still the dinner left by the two of them yesterday on the table.
However, there was no trace of Zhan Haoze in the room. He didn't even buy her breakfast like usual.
Her body was a little sore and uncomfortable. She sat on the sofa, curled her legs, and hugged her knees.
She looked at the messy dining table for a long time and suddenly smiled.
It wasn't like they hadn't been separated before. Why did she make it seem like they were separated forever this time?
Shi Mengwan, don't be so pretentious. After a while, when Zhan Haoze is done with his work, he will come to find you.
In the next half a month, she didn't see Zhan Haoze. He really didn't appear.
Shi Mengwan's entry was almost ready. In a week, she would fly to France.
Before that, Shi Mengwan went to Rong City to see Su Qingsang.
Su Qingsang had been asking her to play since she went to Rong City in January, but Shi Mengwan wasn't free before.
When she went to Rong City, Su Qingsang put down her work to play with her. In the evening, she also took her to meet Huo Jinyao's group of childhood friends.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Haoze's childhood friend, Wan Xianyang, seemed to be interested in her. Before the party ended, he kept asking for her contact information.
For Su Qingsang's sake, she didn't want to refuse too obviously. She had no choice but to give him her WeChat.
In the next two days, Wan Xianyang contacted her time and time again, saying that he wanted to be her director.
Shi Mengwan had Su Qingsang to accompany her, so she pushed him away if she could. When she really couldn't push him away, she would call Su Qingsang along.
Fortunately, Huo Jinyao's friends were all good. Although Wan Xianyang's intentions were obvious, he didn't go too far.
This also made Shi Mengwan heave a sigh of relief. After playing in Rong City for a few days, Shi Mengwan prepared to go to France.
The visa and procedures were all done. Although she was a little reluctant to part with Su Qingsang, Shi Mengwan still returned to Lin City first.
After returning home, Shi Mengwan called Zhan Haoze, but no one answered. She could only send a message instead. There was no reply.
Two days before going to France, Shi Mengwan went home to visit her parents.
She told them that she was going to France. Although Shi Mengwan was worried, she had no reason to object to what her daughter wanted to do.
Shi Mengwan accompanied her parents for a day. Before boarding the plane, she called Zhan Haoze again, but no one answered.
After boarding the plane, Shi Mengwan took out her phone to look at the local news while waiting for the plane to take off.
However, she saw such a piece of news on the public account of a certain news outlet.
Mr. Zhan Haoze, a rising star in the city's technology industry, and Chen Feifei, the daughter of the Chen Corporation, held an engagement ceremony yesterday.
Below was a detailed introduction about Zhan Haoze's identity and Chen Feifei's identity. There was also the situation of yesterday's engagement ceremony.
Finally, was a company like the Chen Corporation also going to start entering the technology field?
The accompanying picture was of Zhan Haoze, Chen Feifei, and Chen Yongchang's face.
