Zhan Haoze wanted to ask Tang Hua to arrange for someone to send her off, but he was afraid that he would scare Mother Shi, so he could only give up after thinking about it. He turned around and went into the room.
Shi Mengwan's fever had subsided. It was just that she was still listless and couldn't muster up any energy.
After Mother Shi went out, she fell asleep in a daze for a while.
Just now, Zhan Haoze was chatting with Mother Shi outside. Because the door was closed and the sound wasn't loud, he didn't wake her up.
Zhan Haoze entered the door and placed his hand on her forehead. After making sure that her fever had subsided and that there was no big problem, he sat down by the bed.
He just looked at Shi Mengwan's sleeping face. When she was asleep, she wasn't as beautiful and beautiful as when she was awake. Because of her illness, her face was pale, making her look delicate and pitiful.
His hand unconsciously caressed her cheek as he thought about Mother Shi's words just now. Looking for a son-in-law? This seemed like something Shi Mengwan would say and do.
He was a little lost in thought, but his hand didn't move away from Shi Mengwan's face. Shi Mengwan didn't sleep well at first, but now that she felt someone touching her, she naturally thought it was Mother Shi.
She wasn't fully awake yet. She rubbed her face against the person's hand and didn't open her eyes. "Mom, I'm so thirsty. Pour me a glass of water."
Zhan Haoze looked at the dependence she inadvertently revealed. It was something she didn't have when facing him.
He retracted his hand and looked at her deeply. He got up and went out to pour water.
He poured water in. One hand was placed behind her, as if to help her up.
Shi Mengwan yawned and still had her eyes closed. She drank half of the water from the hand that the other party handed over, but she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Her mother didn't have the strength to support her body with one hand and feed her water with the other.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the person. When she realized that it was Zhan Haoze, her eyes widened. "Why is it you? Where's my mom? "
Didn't he leave?
When she went out, she was still thinking that her mother would see her half-hearted attitude. She would definitely chase him away.
She didn't expect him to not leave.
"Your mom went to buy groceries. She said that you like her cooking." Zhan Haoze put the cup aside and sat down by the bed.
Shi Mengwan sat up straight, avoided his hand, and moved herself a little to the side. "Why are you still here? Don't you have to work? "
"You're sick."
Her lifeless appearance yesterday scared him, so he asked Tang Hua to bring some urgent business matters here.
"Who am I sick because of? Who did this to me? "Shi Mengwan's words were quite impolite. Zhan Haoze revealed a rare trace of embarrassment.
The reason why she was sick was indeed because of him. If he hadn't messed around in the bathroom, she wouldn't have gotten sick.
Shi Mengwan looked at the expression on his face and thought that he was feeling guilty. She sneered and said, "I'm almost recovered. My mother is also here. There's nothing else for you to do. You can go."
Zhan Haoze didn't leave as she wished. "Auntie went to buy groceries and asked me to stay and take care of you."
"Thank you, but it's okay." Shi Mengwan looked reluctant. "With you here, I won't be able to recover. If you really want me to be well, hurry up and leave. "
"Auntie asked me to have lunch together."
Shi Mengwan couldn't help but look at him. "Zhan Haoze, what did you say to my mother? Tell me. "
Mother Shi actually asked him to stay for lunch? This revealed too much information.
"Nothing. I just told your mother that I agreed to your conditions. "
Her conditions? What conditions? Shi Mengwan never thought that Zhan Haoze would agree to marry into her family, nor did she think that he would be willing to let his child have the surname Shi. Therefore, when she suddenly heard this sentence, she was confused.
"Your mother told me that if I want to be with you, I want to marry into your family, and I want the child to have the surname Shi."
Shi Mengwan's mouth was wide open. She looked at Zhan Haoze and for a moment, she thought that there was something wrong with her ears. "Zhan Haoze, do you know what you're saying?"
"I know."
"You want to marry into my family? Are you sure? "
"Yes."
It was just a surname, so Zhan Haoze didn't care. Moreover, that matter was too far away, so he didn't have the mood to think about it now.
Shi Mengwan suddenly reached out and pulled the front of Zhan Haoze's shirt over. She didn't have much strength. If it weren't for Zhan Haoze's cooperation, she probably wouldn't have been able to pull him in front of her.
She just stared at him, her gaze weak but sharp.
"Zhan Haoze, do you know what you're saying?"
Zhan Haoze went to pull her hand. "You haven't recovered yet. Don't worry about these things for now. Rest well."
"Zhan Haoze, answer my question. Do you know what you're saying? You want to marry into my family? "
"Yes."
"Does this mean that you want to marry me?"
Her eyes were filled with suspicion and mockery. She just looked at him like that, not believing what he said at all.
"Yes."
Two consecutive affirmative answers didn't soften Shi Mengwan's attitude at all.
She looked at Zhan Haoze, and the expression on her face became sharper. "What about Chen Feifei? If you want to marry me, what will she do? "
Zhan Haoze's expression didn't change. He seemed to dislike hearing Chen Feifei's name very much. "Our matter has nothing to do with her, and you don't need to think about her."
Don't need to think about Chen Feifei? And then?
The entire Lin City knew that Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei were engaged. Now that Zhan Haoze said that he wanted to marry her, wasn't he making her a third party who intervened in other people's relationships?
"Zhan Haoze, you don't understand at all."
He might have some feelings for her and liked her, but he wouldn't understand or understand her perspective, her thoughts, and her worries.
"I've said it before. You don't need to think about those things."
"Zhan Haoze. You're so selfish. "
Her words were sarcastic, but Zhan Haoze wasn't moved at all. He looked at the sharp side of her. It was rare for her to be like this. He didn't know if it was because Mother Shi came.
The Shi Mengwan in front of him was much more confident. This was how people were. With someone to rely on, they would always be different.
He reached out to pull Shi Mengwan's hand over and held it in his palm. He looked at her with a deep gaze.
"Wanwan, you can also be more selfish."
He didn't like her to think about Chen Feifei, and he didn't like her to worry too much. It was enough for him to worry about those things. She didn't need to think about them at all.
Just like Grandma Shi's words and actions, she could actually completely ignore them. She would only tire herself out by doing this.
Shi Mengwan pulled her hand back, and her face was cold. "Zhan Haoze, I'm not you. There are some things that I will never be able to do, and I will never be as carefree as you."
"Wanwan –"
"Get out."
Shi Mengwan refused to communicate with him anymore. She didn't want to look at him either.
"Wanwan."
Zhan Haoze wanted to say something, but Mother Shi had already returned. When she left, she took the key from the porch, entered the door, and put the dishes in the kitchen.
She planned to go to the room to see how Shi Mengwan was doing, but she realized that the atmosphere between the two of them didn't seem to be very good.
"Wanwan?"
Mother Shi looked at Shi Mengwan and then at Zhan Haoze. Her gaze wandered between the two of them.
Seeing her mother return, Shi Mengwan didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face.
"Mom." She was about to get up, but Mother Shi quickly stopped her. "You should continue to rest. I'll go cook. It's all your favorite food. You guys wait for a while. You can eat later. "
It was almost noon. Mother Shi was afraid that her daughter would starve, so she gave a few instructions and went into the kitchen.
As soon as Mother Shi left, Shi Mengwan wanted to chase Zhan Haoze away. However, her phone rang at this moment. This time, she didn't give Zhan Haoze a chance and went to pick up the phone herself.
Zhan Haoze glanced at her, then got up and went outside.
Mother Shi had just finished washing the rice when Zhan Haoze came in. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows.
"Auntie, let me help you."
"No need." Mother Shi looked at Zhan Haoze and knew that he rarely entered the kitchen. "I'm used to cooking. I don't need your help. You just need to accompany Wanwan. "
Zhan Haoze stood still. "She's on the phone."
"You didn't coax her well, did you?" Mother Shi took out the vegetables from the bag. Looking at Zhan Haoze's expression, she knew that the two of them definitely didn't come to an agreement just now. "Haoze, haven't you told Wanwan about your family's situation?"
Zhan Haoze was stunned for a moment. Mother Shi knew from his expression. "You should have told Wanwan. Wanwan is a tough talker but soft-hearted child. If you told her about your family's situation, she definitely wouldn't have messed with you. "
Mother Shi didn't know the specific situation, but she could understand. There were also such families in their town. The father brought a stepmother into the family. The stepmother didn't treat the child of the ex-wife well. When the child grew up, he wouldn't even recognize the father, let alone recognize the mother.
This was all human nature. It was understandable that she couldn't understand it at the moment. However, Shi Mengwan was a little stubborn. If he didn't explain it to her properly, she probably wouldn't understand.
Zhan Haoze didn't respond, and Mother Shi didn't want his help. However, she asked him some questions.
"Other than your father, do you have any other relatives in your family?"
"I don't have any relatives." Zhan Haoze's expression was indifferent. "I don't have much contact with them."
Mother Shi didn't ask anymore. She could understand. If even her father didn't treat her well, she probably wouldn't have the energy to interact with other people.
At this moment, Mother Shi's motherly love flared up. She looked at Zhan Haoze more and more affectionate. "If you don't have any contact with them, then so be it. Pick a time another day and come home with Wanwan. We have many relatives at home. If you really get together with Wanwan in the future, you don't have to be so polite. We'll be your elders. "
Zhan Haoze pursed his lips slightly, and a rare look of emotion flashed across his deep eyes. "Okay."
"Although Wanwan's grandmother is a little unreliable, she's actually not a bad person. Although Wanwan's two uncles and aunts have some ulterior motives, they are also good people. You'll know in the future. "
Grandma Shi had always been the one talking about the adoption. Actually, her two brothers-in-law didn't have any thoughts.
After all, they all knew how good Father Shi was to Shi Mengwan and her sister.
"Okay."
"Alright. This dish can be eaten after it's served. Go and call Wanwan to eat. "
"Should we bring it in for her to eat?"
"No need. Although she's sick, don't spoil her too much. How can she be so delicate? Let her get up and move around. She'll recover faster. "
Mother Shi had never been a person who doted on her children.
When Zhan Haoze entered the room, Shi Mengwan had just ended the call with Su Qingsang. After Su Qingsang returned to Lin City, she had started working again. However, this time, she brought her good news.
She was pregnant.
This was really good news for Shi Mengwan. She had already agreed to be the godmother of the child in Su Qingsang's stomach.
When she heard that Su Qingsang was pregnant, she was extremely happy. The two of them had been married for more than a year, and now they had a child. They were even pregnant with twins. She was really happy for Su Qingsang from the bottom of her heart.
She had never given birth, but Su Qingsang was an obstetrician and gynecologist. She didn't need her to teach her anything.
However, it didn't affect the two women's excited discussion about the child. Especially when Su Qingsang talked about how the child came about.
It was very strange. Huo Jinyao didn't seem to want children. This pregnancy was an accident. Su Qingsang originally thought that Huo Jinyao would want her to abort the child.
However, she didn't expect Huo Jinyao to be very happy, even to the point of being silly.
Through the phone, Shi Mengwan could feel the happiness that Su Qingsang revealed when she said that. She was very envious. After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but think of Zhan Haoze.
If she was pregnant, would Dear Brother be happy? Thinking of the situation between her and Zhan Haoze, she smiled bitterly. It wasn't the same thing at all.
If she had a child, it would be really unfortunate.
Just as she was thinking this, she looked up and saw Zhan Haoze enter the door. She especially didn't like him now. She turned her face away, not wanting to see him at all.
"It's time to eat."
It wasn't that Zhan Haoze didn't see the expression on Shi Mengwan's face. His lips were pursed into a straight line, and he looked a little gloomy.
Shi Mengwan didn't give him a good look. She got out of bed, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, her body became a little weak.
She rarely got sick, but she didn't know that this illness was because she had slept for too long, and her legs were a little weak.
Zhan Haoze quickly stepped forward and hugged her.
The moment his hands hugged her, Shi Mengwan instinctively wanted to struggle. Unfortunately, even if she was healthy, she wasn't a match for him, not to mention that she hadn't recovered from her illness yet.
Zhan Haoze looked at her still pale little face, but he didn't intend to put her down. He just carried her and walked out.
When Shi Mengwan realized what he was going to do, she struggled with all her might. She didn't want her mother to see her like this.
"Don't move." Zhan Haoze whispered in her ear, "You don't want to fall either, do you?"
Shi Mengwan couldn't help but glare at him, but Zhan Haoze didn't seem to see her ugly expression. He wasn't afraid that Mother Shi was outside, so he directly carried her to the dining table outside.
Mother Shi happened to come out with the soup and was about to put it on the dining table. She suddenly saw her daughter being carried out by Zhan Haoze, and the smile on her face became a little playful.
Especially when she saw Shi Mengwan staring at Zhan Haoze with "deep love", she even said, "You're too much. Don't you have legs? Come down and eat. "
"Put me down."
Shi Mengwan glared at Zhan Haoze again, and Zhan Haoze obediently placed her on the dining chair.
Mother Shi now felt that Zhan Haoze wasn't bad. With his height and physical strength. What was the saying on the Internet now? Yes, boyfriend strength.
Not bad, not bad. The smile on her face became even brighter.
Shi Mengwan knew what Mother Shi was thinking when she saw her expression, and she was angry again. She couldn't help but glare at Zhan Haoze again.
Mother Shi looked at Zhan Haoze, and her gaze was different now. "Haoze, sit down and eat too."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Zhan Haoze sat down next to Shi Mengwan. Shi Mengwan glanced at him, then got up and moved the chair to the side.
Seeing this, Zhan Haoze moved the chair in her direction. Shi Mengwan gritted her teeth and was about to move the chair again.
"Wanwan." Mother Shi couldn't take it anymore. "You're not honest even when you're eating. Do you want me to help you move the chair outside the door? "
Shi Mengwan gritted her teeth and glanced at Mother Shi. "Mom, what do you know? He – "
She had a lot to say, but Mother Shi didn't give her a chance.
"What's wrong with Haoze? I think Haoze is very good. You really have to change your temper. "
Shi Mengwan's eyes widened. "What's wrong with my temper?"
"Stubborn." Mother Shi unceremoniously criticized her daughter, but when she faced Zhan Haoze, her face was smiling like a flower.
"Haoze, Wanwan has been spoiled rotten by her father and me. You have to be more tolerant. "
As she spoke, she scooped a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Zhan Haoze. Shi Mengwan saw this and was very angry. She couldn't help but reach out and bring the bowl of soup over.
"You child."
Mother Shi looked at Shi Mengwan and felt that her daughter was a little too much.
"It's okay, Auntie." Zhan Haoze was quite "magnanimous". The more he was like this, the more Mother Shi felt that her daughter was immature.
She scooped another bowl of soup and placed it in front of Zhan Haoze. Shi Mengwan resisted the urge to knock the soup away.
"Mom, doesn't he have his own hands? Let him scoop it himself. "
"You child, didn't I help you scoop soup at home? You don't have hands either? "
"I'm your daughter."
"He's my son-in-law."
"…" The bowl in Shi Mengwan's hand almost fell down. She looked at Mother Shi and felt a headache coming on. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"How am I talking nonsense?" Mother Shi glanced at Zhan Haoze. "Haoze has already agreed to marry into the family. How am I talking nonsense?"
"He's lying to you." Shi Mengwan was furious. She couldn't help but glare at Zhan Haoze fiercely. It was all this guy's fault for spouting nonsense in front of her mother. "Mom, don't believe him."
"I don't believe him. Believe you? I think Haoze is pretty good. I think you really have to change your temper. Otherwise, I won't be able to stand you in the future, let alone Haoze. "
"Mom, am I still your daughter? Why do you always side with outsiders? "
"If he becomes my son-in-law, then he won't be an outsider." Mother Shi's expression was matter-of-fact.
Shi Mengwan was furious. She watched as Zhan Haoze picked up the bowl in his hand and calmly drank the soup. She couldn't help but feel angry.
Without thinking, she snatched the bowl from his hand and placed it on the table. She glared at Zhan Haoze fiercely, not caring about Mother Shi's presence at all.
"Zhan Haoze, leave. Go find your fiancée. Don't lie to my mom here. "
Even if she would shed all pretenses and make Mother Shi unhappy, she couldn't take it anymore.
She had no scruples. As soon as she said this, Mother Shi's expression changed. Her gaze was sharp for a moment, and then she looked at Zhan Haoze inquiringly.
