In a quiet room, two men were lying on the same bed.
One was on top, and the other was on bottom. The posture was ambiguous, but the atmosphere was completely different.
Zhan Haoze didn't expect Shi Mengwan to ask such a question. The air suddenly became silent.
He still had an injury on his abdomen. After supporting himself like this for a long time, it caused a slight throbbing pain.
His expression changed slightly because of the pain. In Shi Mengwan's eyes, this change directly became proof that he didn't want to admit his identity.
Shi Mengwan sneered. It seemed that she was no exception to this result.
She let go of her hand and gently pushed him to the side. She was about to get up when Zhan Haoze grabbed her hand again.
"Wanwan."
"Let go."
"It's not what you think."
Zhan Haoze rarely explained to others. His brothers had been with him for a long time.
There were many things that he didn't need to say or explain. They would directly execute them, and very few people would question his words.
"Then what is it? Tell me, I'll listen. "
Shi Mengwan waited for him to explain. Even if she really wanted to be with him, she hoped that she could understand his thoughts.
Even if they couldn't be together, she hoped that the breakup could be done cleanly.
Zhan Haoze had been supporting himself for a long time. At this moment, he simply sat up and pulled her to sit up with him.
His movements affected his wound. He snorted in a very low voice. Shi Mengwan seemed to have only realized at this moment that Zhan Haoze was injured.
She turned her face away and forced herself not to soften and not to give in.
"Wanwan, I can't disclose our relationship for the time being."
Shi Mengwan sneered and turned her face away. She felt that it was a matter of course. She knew that this person was just saying it to sound nice.
"I'm sorry." Zhan Haoze rarely said sorry to anyone. There were even fewer women who could make him say sorry.
"I –"
Zhan Haoze thought of Zhan Kun, the Zhan family in Qing City, and his current situation.
He closed his eyes. "Chen Feifei has heart disease. She can't stand stimulation. I owe her father a debt of gratitude. So, I can't leave the Chen family for the time being. "
Shi Mengwan turned around and looked at Zhan Haoze. She just stared at him.
"She has heart disease. She likes you and wants to be engaged to you, so you agreed?"
"I didn't agree." In fact, ever since Chen Feifei had a relapse, Chen Yongchang had been wanting them to get engaged. But he didn't agree. He didn't want to agree either.
But later, Chen Feifei was almost attacked. Chen Feifei was scared half to death because of this.
Her heart wasn't good to begin with, so Chen Yongchang decided to get them engaged.
But perhaps she was afraid that he would be unhappy if he knew. Chen Yongchang didn't tell him. Instead, he said that the Chen Corporation was holding an anniversary meeting.
The Chen Corporation's anniversary celebration was around the same time. As the general manager of the Chen Corporation, it was impossible for Zhan Haoze not to attend.
When he went to Junxia, he found out that Chen Yongchang and Chen Feifei actually wanted them to get engaged to him, and they didn't reveal any news between them.
At that time, it was impossible for Zhan Haoze to leave just like that, so when Chen Yongchang asked him to go on stage, he could only go up.
After that, Chen Yongchang said a lot of good things to him in private. After explaining for a long time, he finally said that if he really didn't want to, he could wait until Chen Feifei's body got better and then break off the engagement with her.
As for the current situation, it was better to let Chen Feifei rest well and recuperate.
This way, even if Zhan Haoze didn't agree, it would still cause the fact that they were engaged. But in his heart, he didn't agree.
"Wanwan, it's not what you think between me and her."
"I understand, it's not what I think. It's just that you want to repay her kindness. " At this point, Shi Mengwan sneered. "But Zhan Haoze, the Chen family is kind to you. Chen Feifei has heart disease. What does that have to do with me? Since you pity her so much and can't bear to part with her, then you can go to her side and take good care of her. Why are you looking for me? "
"Wanwan –"
"Do you know what your behavior is called?" Shi Mengwan said bluntly. "A scumbag."
"Shi Mengwan." Zhan Haoze looked at her, his face full of disapproval.
Shi Mengwan smiled, but that smile didn't reach her eyes at all. "Aren't you a scumbag? You're afraid of hurting Chen Feifei, but you're still hanging on to me? Do I owe you? Why should I swallow my anger like this? Or is it that in your heart, I'm so easy to deceive? That I can let you do whatever you want? "
"I didn't mean that."
"But you've already done it." Shi Mengwan's face was full of mockery, and she didn't give in at all. "Aren't you afraid of hurting Chen Feifei while hanging on to me?"
Zhan Haoze looked at Shi Mengwan and didn't explain. In fact, he couldn't explain.
Because of the real reason, he couldn't let her know at all.
"I'm not afraid of hurting Chen Feifei. I just don't want to be an ungrateful person. The Chen family is kind to me. Although I don't like Chen Feifei, I don't want anything to happen to her. "
"Yes, you can't let anything happen to her, so you can let something happen to me."
Shi Mengwan couldn't take it anymore. She turned around and was about to get off the bed when Zhan Haoze held her hand. "Don't do this."
"Then what do you want me to do?" Shi Mengwan shook his hand off. "Accept the truth? Accept the fact that you have to take care of another woman's emotions when you're with me? "
"I didn't –"
"Don't say you didn't mean that. Just tell me directly, how long do you plan to take care of her? How long do you plan to hide our relationship? "
Zhan Haoze didn't avoid this question. Instead, he looked at Shi Mengwan very seriously. "It won't be too long. Give me some time, I'll solve it. "
"Unfortunately, I don't believe you."
Zhan Haoze's face darkened because of her words.
Shi Mengwan didn't want to continue. She left the bed and stood on the other side of the bed.
"Alright, that's it. Zhan Haoze, you go your own way, and I'll go my own way. "
He liked to take care of Chen Feifei, so he would take care of her. She wasn't going to accompany him anymore.
She still had to go to the organizing committee to see the results of the semi-finals today, so she didn't have time to waste with Zhan Haoze here. After entering the bathroom, she washed up and changed her clothes. Shi Mengwan came out and prepared to leave.
Zhan Haoze stood up at this moment. "Wanwan, I –"
"Alright, Zhan Haoze." He had already said a lot today. "Don't say anymore. Either you break up with me, and we won't have anything to do with each other. Or you stay away from Chen Feifei. Go back to Lin City and announce that you're not engaged. Everything is a misunderstanding. How about that? "
Zhan Haoze's face darkened. At this time, he couldn't do that.
While he was silent and hesitant, Shi Mengwan had already picked up her bag and walked to the door.
When she was about to leave, Zhan Haoze stood in front of her again.
"Wan Wan —"
"Zhan Haoze, I'll say it again. Either you do what you promised me, or you leave this place. There is no third option. "
Her hand rose, and she thought about pushing him away. The moment she raised her hand, she thought of the tattoo on his body.
Gritting her teeth, she walked right past him and left. This time, Zhan Haoze didn't stop her.
When she got out of the door, she was relieved, but at the same time, she felt a sense of loss.
She believed what Zhan Haoze said was true. He was such a proud person that he disdained to lie.
But so what if what he said was true? What could it change?
Chen Feifei had heart disease and needed him to take care of her. She was not in good health. Did he have to take care of her all the time?
Take care of him one day at a time, and one year at a time.
He really valued relationships. Unfortunately, she didn't want to waste her time with him.
"Sister Shi, you're up so early?"
Just as she went out, Xiao Ji and Tong Yan had already woken up and were here.
"Sister Shi, are you very nervous?"
"I'm not nervous." Shi Mengwan shook her head. Compared to what she was worried about, there was really nothing to be nervous about. "If we can pass, then we'll pass. If we can't, then we'll just play for a few days as a vacation. Thinking about it this way, there's nothing bad about it. "
"Sister Shi, your mentality is really good."
Xiao Ji almost wanted to worship her. Shi Mengwan smiled, and her depressed mood was suppressed again.
"Let's go."
What surprised Shi Mengwan was that she actually passed the semi-finals.
Among the ten finalists, she was in the ninth place, as it was said that the rankings were not separated. This was really great news for her.
Xiao Ji and Tong Yan were extremely happy. The two of them hugged her and congratulated her repeatedly.
Shi Mengwan smiled. This was what they meant by 'frustrated in love, but successful in career', right?
She passed the semi-finals. Next, the ten people who passed were ready to participate in the finals.
"We've already prepared the venue for the finals. For the next seven days, you need to stay in the place we've prepared. You'll draw here, make the finished product, and walk until you've finished your work. "
"Because the venue is a little far, you can go back and pack your things now. Gather here in the afternoon. We'll have a car to send you to the venue. "
The people from the organizing committee explained the rules again. Shi Mengwan, Xiao Ji, and the others all memorized it very seriously. After memorizing it, they decided to go back to the hotel to pack their luggage first and then come over to gather in the afternoon.
Shi Mengwan, Xiao Ji, and the others returned to the hotel. Xiao Ji stood at the door of the room and looked at Shi Mengwan.
"Sister Shi, do you want us to help you pack?"
"No need." Shi Mengwan shook her head. "You guys go pack your things. We'll go out for a meal later. "
"Okay, Sister Shi. It's still early anyway. We can come back after dinner and rest for a while."
Shi Mengwan nodded. Now, she just didn't know where the organizing committee would arrange for them.
After entering the door, Shi Mengwan thought that Zhan Haoze had already left. She didn't expect him to still be in the room.
Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Shi Mengwan's expression didn't look too good.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Zhan Haoze stood up. "Wanwan –"
"Don't call me." Shi Mengwan took a step back. Just as she was about to open the door and let him leave, someone knocked on the door first.
Shi Mengwan was shocked. She stood at the door and wasn't in a hurry to open it. Instead, she looked out through the peephole.
