Was he also from China?
Shi Mengwan was a little interested. Up until now, she was the only one from the mainland who had participated in the competition.
She had chatted with the third-place Hong Kong beauty for a long time, and the other party kept asking her to go to Hong Kong to play.
She was already very happy to be able to meet a Chinese person, but there was actually a Chinese person now? Was it also a manufacturer from China? Or —
As he spoke, Dickson took half a step to the side and looked behind him. "Zhan, let me introduce you. This is Miss Shi, also from Lin City. Her work this time is very good. It's very spiritual. "
"Shi, this is Zhan. He's also from Lin City, China. In your words, he's a fellow villager. "
Dickson smiled brightly, but Shi Mengwan's expression instantly stiffened.
Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze, who suddenly appeared in front of her. For a moment, she thought there was something wrong with her eyes.
Why was he here?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Dickson thought that she didn't know Zhan Haoze's identity, so he explained further.
"Shi, although Zhan is from China, he also has his own business in France, including some fashion brands."
Dickson said two names, and Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze in surprise. He was wearing a white suit with a dark red pattern stitched from the collar to the shoulders. The close-fitting tailoring and such a design made him look a little more noble.
She could even feel Zhan Haoze's gaze landing on him when he stood up.
However, she wasn't just paying attention to Zhan Haoze's current appearance. Her mind was filled with the two names that Dickson had mentioned.
They were two new fashion brands. Although the design was considered niche, it was already quite well-known in the country and in Europe and the United States.
Were these two clothing brands Zhan Haoze's business?
She lowered her eyes and thought of something from a long time ago. It was not long after she went to school. It was the day after she found out that her Dear Brother would still fight with others outside and get injured.
She suddenly had an inspiration and drew a design that was still considered immature at that time.
At that time, she took the design and ran to show it to Qiao Ze. The young man looked at her with gentleness in his eyes.
"Dear Brother, what do you think of this dress?"
"Not bad. It's very beautiful. "The youth wasn't stingy with his compliments." If Wanwan wore it, it would be even more beautiful. "
"Really? Big brother, you're not lying to me, right? "
"Nope. I'm serious. " As the young man spoke, he pulled her to his side and sat her down. His gaze fell on the painting in the young lady's hand, but he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him.
He liked her being close to him, and he liked being close to her.
Shi Mengwan took the opportunity to lean on his shoulder and also look at the design drawing. Finally, she turned to look at the young man.
"Big brother. Can you help me in the future? "
"Help you?"
"Yeah, I'll draw and design clothes, and you'll make clothes. You'll open a big factory and sell the clothes I design to more people."
The young man looked into her eyes. He didn't think that it would be a difficult goal for them to achieve now. Instead, he nodded lightly and said, "Alright."
What Shi Mengwan didn't say was that at that time, Dear Brother would have something to do and wouldn't fight outside anymore.
She knew that even though he was very good at fighting and rarely got hurt, he was still very good at fighting. However, she was still very worried about him and didn't want him to be like that in the future.
"Big Brother."
"Hmm?"
"In the future, I will definitely draw a lot of beautiful pictures. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of people who will buy the clothes I design. At that time, you must help me, okay? "
"Okay."
"Dear Brother."
"Yes?"
"In the future, when we earn money, we can move to a big house, and we can travel around the world. We don't have to stay here anymore. At that time, can you stop fighting with others? "
"Okay." The young man pressed her body into his arms. He used a little too much strength. He smelled the young lady's scent on her body, and his eyes were firm.
"Dear Brother. Every time you go out, I'm very worried about you. I don't like you fighting with others. Next time, you really don't fight with others, okay? "
"Okay."
"Dear Brother. You're so nice. "
The young lady smiled happily. The young man looked at the self-destruction on her face and forced himself to calm down. Then, he looked at her and said very firmly.
"I don't fight with others. When you grow up and become a fashion designer, I'll open a clothing company. I'll specialize in selling clothes designed by you. "
"Okay. Then I'll wait for you. "
The young lady smiled brightly. At that moment, the dilapidated bungalow seemed to have welcomed a sky full of stars.
Dickson's voice brought her back to her senses. "Sorry, I was a little distracted."
Shi Mengwan looked at that handsome face and forced herself to look away.
Did Zhan Haoze create those two clothing brands for her? Could she think like that?
But looking at him, she couldn't link these two things together at all. Dickson acted as if he didn't notice the loss of composure on her face and continued to talk about Zhan Haoze's identity in high spirits.
"These are all brands under Zhan's banner. You're all from China. I think you two should have something to talk about."
After Dickson finished speaking, someone happened to be looking for her. She excused herself to the two of them and left first.
Only Zhan Haoze and Shi Mengwan were left standing there.
Shi Mengwan stood still. She thought about what Dickson said just now. Zhan Haoze actually had a business in France? Didn't he run a technology company?
What had he been doing outside all these years? What had he experienced?
She couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity. However, she forced herself to look away and not at Zhan Haoze.
"Congratulations." Zhan Haoze stood beside her. A waiter happened to pass by. He picked up two glasses of champagne from the tray and placed one of them in Shi Mengwan's hand.
Shi Mengwan looked at him for a while and finally reached out to take it. "There's nothing to congratulate."
She didn't enter the top three again. Zhan Haoze's gaze fell on her. The extremely fresh green color contrasted with her snow-white skin. The top was a one-shoulder design that was tailored to fit her body. A leaf just extended to her shoulder, and the bottom was layered with light muslin.
Zhan Haoze gently clinked his glass with hers. "In my heart, you're number one."
Shi Mengwan was stunned by his words. Her hand that was holding the glass stopped there and she just looked at him.
Realizing that she was affected by him again, Shi Mengwan turned her face away. She didn't let herself sink any further.
She casually took a sip of champagne. Standing next to Zhan Haoze made her feel uncomfortable. She put the glass aside and turned around to leave.
However, Zhan Haoze put down the glass and held her hand.
Shi Mengwan looked at that hand and then at the other people in the banquet hall. She lowered her voice and was a little anxious.
"Let go."
The music in the hall changed at this moment. Zhan Haoze looked at Shi Mengwan and reached out his hand to her.
Shi Mengwan understood what he meant and took a step back. "You –"
"Let's go. Dance with me."
As Zhan Haoze spoke, he held her hand and led her to the dance floor in the middle of the hall.
Shi Mengwan wanted to retreat, but his hand had already wrapped around her waist. He led her around the edge of the dance floor. Bit by bit, they slid into the middle of the dance floor.
Being led by him like this, even if Shi Mengwan didn't want to, she could only dance and spin with his steps.
After dancing a few steps, she realized that Zhan Haoze's dancing skills were pretty good. She was a little surprised. Her dancing skills weren't considered good. After all, she wasn't a rich young lady. There weren't many opportunities for her to attend banquets.
Now that Zhan Haoze was leading her, she looked at Zhan Haoze in front of her.
There were more and more secrets about him that she couldn't figure out and couldn't see through. However, not only could she not let go of these secrets, but she also wanted to get closer and know more.
Shi Mengwan's footsteps turned in a circle. This kind of thinking was very dangerous. She had to suppress it.
Zhan Haoze was very dangerous. She had to stay away.
Her rationality kept reminding her, but when she looked at Zhan Haoze's deep eyes, she could only dance with his footsteps.
"You're very beautiful today."
Zhan Haoze moved his face closer to Shi Mengwan's ear. He spoke in a soft voice, and the hot air he blew out was right next to her ear. Her ears turned red and she subconsciously shrank her neck.
She wanted to avoid him, but she and Zhan Haoze were already dancing. Where could she hide?
Zhan Haoze's hand around her waist slightly tightened, and she moved closer to him instead.
Shi Mengwan had already made up her mind to stay away from him. His actions made her want to escape from his arms.
"Have you ever thought about cooperating with these big European and American brands? Promote your designs all over the world. "
The sudden voice above her head stunned Shi Mengwan. She looked up at him with a hint of shock in her eyes.
"Zhan Haoze, you …"
"Have you never thought about it?" Zhan Haoze looked at her and said indifferently, "If you want, whether it's Dickson or any other company, you can think about it."
The information revealed by these words was too much. Shi Mengwan furrowed her brows. She looked up at Zhan Haoze's face as if it was the first time she had met him.
"Zhan Haoze, who exactly are you?"
Dear Brother was 15 when he met her, and he was 16 when they separated. The two of them had been separated for 12 years.
What exactly had Zhan Haoze done in the past 12 years? What had he experienced? Was he really her Dear Brother?
With his situation back then, it was really a little scary for him to have achieved what he had today in 12 years.
Putting aside the two clothing brands that Dickson had mentioned just now, it was definitely not easy to be able to reach such a level abroad.
After she met Xiao Qi, she specially went to investigate the technology company that she had mentioned. She also investigated Zhan Haoze.
Although their company's website didn't have a photo of Zhan Haoze, the introduction on it was very clear.
The technology company that Xiao Qi was talking about was founded by Zhan Haoze. Now, its market value was countless times higher than when it was founded.
With such ability and such methods, she thought of the young man who only knew how to fight back then. She really couldn't connect the person in front of her with that young man.
Zhan Haoze looked into her eyes and tilted his head slightly. A kiss fell on her lips just like that. His voice was very soft.
"I'm your man."
Shi Mengwan's face suddenly turned red. She wanted to push Zhan Haoze away, but she realized that he had brought her to the edge of the dance floor.
The music changed at this moment. Zhan Haoze took the opportunity to let go of her hand and brought her to the corner of the hall.
As one of the invited guests, Zhan Haoze also had a room in the castle. He brought Shi Mengwan upstairs.
Shi Mengwan tried to break free from his hand a few times, but she didn't get what she wanted. When she went up to the second floor, she was surprised to find that Zhan Haoze's room was actually arranged next to hers.
Her body was brought in by him, and her hand grabbed the door handle. "Zhan Haoze, don't do anything rash."
There were still so many guests downstairs, and Dickson was also there. Could it be that he was thinking —
Zhan Haoze looked at the resistance on her face and easily carried her body. With a tap of his toes, the door was closed.
He pushed her against the door and gently caressed her collarbone with his big hand. "I wanted to do that just now."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and planted a kiss on the spot where his fingertips touched …
Zhan Haoze barely managed to retain some rationality. He didn't tear her dress apart, but the slow process of taking it off made Shi Mengwan's face turn red.
Her body had already become unlike her own. She could only follow his movements to climb up or down.
He was like a sharp sword, avoiding her, and she was the sea, containing his every attack.
The moment he got off her, he didn't let go of her. Instead, he pulled her into his arms.
Shi Mengwan couldn't move. She looked at the ceiling above her head, not quite understanding how things had turned out like this.
She turned to look at him, and he was also looking at her. Shi Mengwan felt a little uncomfortable under his overly passionate gaze. When she shifted her gaze away, she saw his bare upper body.
There was a scar on his abdomen, and it could be seen very clearly. This was the wound from a few days ago.
The stitches had been removed, but the scar was still there. Previously, because of his engagement with Chen Feifei, Shi Mengwan had always forced herself not to care about him and not to care about him.
Now that she saw this wound, she couldn't help but reach out and caress it. "How did you get it?"
It was so long, and she didn't know if it was deep. It must have been very painful at that time, right?
"Are you concerned about me?" Zhan Haoze's voice sounded like there was a hint of a smile in it.
"No."
Shi Mengwan wanted to retract her hand, but Zhan Haoze grabbed her hand and pressed it against the wound.
She couldn't pull her hand back, so he grabbed it and caressed it bit by bit along the lines of the wound. The feeling there wasn't smooth. After Shi Mengwan felt it from beginning to end, she suddenly retracted her hand.
She flipped over and turned around. There was no way she wouldn't look at him.
Zhan Haoze didn't understand what was wrong with her. He wanted to turn her body right, but she stubbornly refused.
He was very strong, but in the end, she was turned around by him. Only then did he realize that her eyes were red and there was a faint mist in them.
"Wanwan?"
Shi Mengwan lowered her head and didn't look at him. She remembered that the young man had promised her that he wouldn't fight with anyone again.
But whether it was when she met him in the alley of the bungalow district or this time. In short, he went back on his word.
He forgot his promise, just like how he forgot that he had promised himself that he would take care of her and protect her for the rest of her life.
"Wanwan?"
Zhan Haoze called her again. Compared to the rudeness and fierceness he had when he was entangled with her on the bed just now, the way he called her name was extremely gentle.
Shi Mengwan had the urge to cry, but she didn't want him to see her like this. She pushed him and got up to leave.
However, she forgot that her body was still weak from the strenuous exercise. Just as she wanted to sit up, she fell back again. This time, she happened to fall into his arms.
He just wanted to stop her, so her chin hit the top of his head.
Shi Mengwan was in pain. The tears that she had been holding back just now fell uncontrollably.
Her tears stimulated Zhan Haoze. He got up and wrapped her in his arms.
"Wanwan?"
Shi Mengwan rarely felt so vulnerable. Now, she suddenly wanted to cry and felt uncomfortable. The emotions that she had been suppressing since her reunion with Zhan Haoze seemed to finally be able to be vented.
She raised her hand and suddenly punched Zhan Haoze's chest.
"Bastard, you bastard."
As she spoke, she punched him a few more times. Her strength was nothing more than scratching an itch to him. Zhan Haoze didn't stop her and let her punch him.
Shi Mengwan punched him many times until her hands were out of strength. She finally stopped and leaned her face against Zhan Haoze. Her voice was very soft.
"Zhan Haoze, you're a bastard." He only knew how to bully her. He had always been like this.
"Zhan Haoze, you're a liar." He had clearly promised her something, but he couldn't do anything. If he wasn't a liar, then what was he?
"Zhan Haoze, you're still a thief." He stole her heart, but he didn't want to take responsibility. He was really a thief.
"You bastard, you liar, you thief."
Shi Mengwan wouldn't scold him anymore. She only said these three words back and forth. In the end, she was tired of fighting and scolding. In addition, she had been mentally and physically exhausted for the finals these few days.
By the time Zhan Haoze realized it, she had already closed her eyes and fell asleep on his chest.
Even though she was asleep, her lips still seemed to be moving. He got closer and listened carefully. He heard the word 'bastard'.
Zhan Haoze gently picked her up and laid her flat on the bed. He looked at her and gently caressed her cheek. There were still traces of tears there.
He wiped away those tears one by one. Finally, he planted a kiss on her forehead.
He wanted to lie down with her. Ever since Shi Mengwan left that day, he hadn't been idle for the past few days. He had a lot of things to do, but now, he just wanted to hug this woman and sleep for a while.
However, as soon as he lay down, his phone rang.
Before waking Shi Mengwan up, Zhan Haoze quickly turned off the sound of his phone. Then, he got up and went to the bathroom to answer the phone.
The news from the other side made his expression solemn. He seemed to have thought of something and spoke extremely calmly.
"I'll be right back. Prepare the plane."
Walking out of the bathroom, Shi Mengwan was sleeping soundly. Zhan Haoze put on his clothes and stared at her sleeping face by the bed for a long time. Finally, he turned around and left resolutely.
..
After Shi Mengwan returned from France, the workload of the studio increased a lot.
Although she didn't get the top three, the most special design award and the fourth place in the competition were still very good.
Especially the Weibo post that Xiao Ji posted on her phone that day. She was called the most beautiful female designer.
Now, in addition to the high order, many clothing companies came to ask her if she was interested in mass production. Shi Mengwan was too busy, so she rejected them for the time being.
Most importantly, she remembered what Zhan Haoze said that day.
Speaking of Zhan Haoze, it wasn't strange that she didn't see Zhan Haoze when she woke up the next day.
He seemed to have always been like this. He came and went as he pleased. What was she to him?
Did they break up like this?
She didn't go back to her room for the whole night, and her phone was left with Xiao Ji. The next day, Xiao Ji and Tong Yan were looking for her like crazy.
Shi Mengwan could only say that she was drunk yesterday and found a room to sleep.
If it weren't for the fact that this was Dickson's castle, Xiao Ji and Tong Yan wouldn't have believed her so easily.
After returning to Lin City, Shi Mengwan had been paying attention to the news of the Chen family in Lin City. She found that other than the news of the engagement last time, there was no other news.
Shi Mengwan couldn't tell what she felt. She really wanted to look for Zhan Haoze, but she also wanted to use this opportunity to break it off.
Soon, she wasn't in the mood to worry about Zhan Haoze.
When Su Qingsang went to be an exchange doctor, there was an earthquake. Then, Su Qingsang lost contact.
Shi Mengwan couldn't sit still anymore. She went to the Su family to look for Li Qianxue. It was only after she went to Rong City that she found out that Su Qingsang wasn't Xiang Caiping's daughter, but Li Qianxue's daughter.
She really couldn't have imagined such a thing. Now that Su Qingsang was in trouble, she definitely couldn't go to the disaster area, but the Su family would have a way, right?
Li Qianxue was also worried, but she received a call from Huo Jinyao. Huo Jinyao comforted her and said that he had already brought supplies to the disaster area and told her not to worry.
No matter how anxious she was now, she knew that with her physical and mental state, going to the disaster area would only cause more trouble. No matter how worried she was, she could only trust Huo Jinyao now.
Shi Mengwan couldn't be as calm as Li Qianxue. She and Su Qingsang had known each other for so many years. To her, Su Qingsang was like a sister.
She also wanted to go to the disaster area to look for Su Qingsang.
However, not everyone could go to the disaster area now. If Huo Jinyao hadn't donated a large amount of supplies and followed them to the disaster area, it wouldn't have been so easy for him.
She thought about it, but she didn't know how to go to the disaster area and participate in the search for Su Qingsang.
Finally, she thought of Zhan Haoze. She took out her phone and called Zhan Haoze, but no one answered.
After staring at the phone for a long time, she decided to make a trip herself.
The car stopped downstairs of the technology company where Zhan Haoze was. Shi Mengwan wasn't sure if she could find him if she went upstairs. Maybe he wasn't in the company?
She wanted to leave, but her worry for Su Qingsang overwhelmed everything else.
After entering the building, she was in no mood to appreciate the ultra-modern decoration and some equipment that could only be seen in movies.
She walked directly to the front desk and told the front desk that she was looking for Zhan Haoze.
"You're looking for President Zhan? I'm sorry. If you don't have an appointment, we can't let you go up. "
"Can you ask?"
"I'm sorry, ma 'am. I really can't see President Zhan without an appointment."
Shi Mengwan gritted her teeth and was still thinking about how to go up and see Zhan Haoze. She heard someone calling her.
