Chapter 504 - The Current Situation Was Slightly Awkward (1/2)

After hearing his question, Su Qingsang shook her head. “I came with my friend.”

They fell into silence after the brief conversation. Although Su Qingsang was wearing a bathrobe, she looked disheveled. She felt strained and pondered over how to end such a situation.

Zhang Yichen discovered her uneasiness and frowned. He was about to say something but stopped after hearing a knock on the door.

Su Qingsang and Zhang Yichen both looked at the door, thinking that those people had come back for him.

Zhang Yichen looked around. Certainly, he couldn’t hide in the closet. He noticed that there was a small window in the bathroom, but he was too oversized to climb through it.

Su Qingsang started to look worried. Considering this current circumstance, where could Zhang Yichen hide? Just as Zhang Yichen was thinking about going to the bathroom, Su Qingsnag Shi Mengwan’s voice.

“Why is the door locked? I didn’t lock it,” came Shi Mengwan’s voice from outside. Relived, Su Qingsang looked at Zhang Yichen and signaled that it was fine.

She turned to open the door. The moment the door was open, Shi Mengwan was dragged in. Su Qingsang moved so fast that Shi Mengwan had no time to react.

“Qingsang, you——”

Shi Mengwan saw Zhang Yichen after the door was closed. She held her breath, eyes wide open, and turned to Su Qingsang. “What——”

“This is Huo Jinyao’s uncle, Zhang Yichen.” Su Qingsang pointed at Shi Mengwan. “This is Shi Mengwan, my friend.”

“Hello.” Zhang Yichen was pretty calm and went straight greeting Shi Mengwan.

“Hi,” Shi Mengwan said, blinking and directing her eyes at Su Qingsang. She was quiet, but her eyes were full of questions.

“Never mind. We just happened to encounter each other.”

Zhang Yichen’s business was a secret even to Huo Jinyao, so how could Su Qingsang tell Shi Mengwan about it?

To her surprise, Shi Mengwan didn’t ask any more questions, and Su Qingsang forgot to ask Shi Mengwan why the phone call took her so long.

Under normal circumstances, Su Qingsang would have noticed that there was something wrong with Shi Mengwan.

With Zhang Yichen being present, Su Qingsang and Shi Mengwan were reluctant to go back into the hot tub. They had just started the hot spring a while ago and expected to stay in for a longer time.

Now they couldn’t. Su Qingsang looked at Zhang Yichen, then turned to Shi Mengwan, and said, “Mengwan, why don’t we go to our room and rest?”

“Sure.” Although they wore swimming suits while in the hot tub, with a man standing by their side, they felt shy about staying there longer.

“You——” They looked at Zhang Yichen.

The room they lived in and this hot spring compartment were on the two opposite sides of the salon. On their way back to the room, they had to walk through the corridor and a yard.

If they left now, what would Zhang Yichen do?

Zhang Yichen cast his eyes upon Su Qingsang and went to the bathroom. He couldn’t climb through the bathroom window.

When he got back, he hurried to find a way out.

Looking around, he came up with an idea.

“You don’t need to worry about me. You can leave if you want.”

Zhang Yichen stood still. Taking a look at him, Su Qingsang believed that he was capable of dealing with it himself.

Shi Mengwan felt strange but didn’t ask anything more.

They took their clothes to the inside room and got changed. Su Qingsang was thinking about how Zhang Yichen would sneak out later.

However, when they came out of the room, they found that Zhang Yichen had already disappeared.

Su Qingsang and Shi Mengwan looked at each other. Neither of them heard the door opening and had no idea where Zhang Yichen went.

Since Zhang Yichen had already left, they did what they wanted to do. They changed into their swimwear again and returned to the hot tub.

This time, these people didn’t come back, and neither did Zhang Yichen. They enjoyed the hot spring peacefully.

Shi Mengwan stayed in the hot tub, enjoying the hot spring steaming, and started talking to Su Qingsang.

“Who’s that? Your uncle looked very young.” He looked like he was in his thirties at the most.

“He is the son of one of Huo Jinyao’s great-aunts. His great-aunt was not young when she gave birth to Zhang Yichen. That’s why he and Huo Jinyao are of similar age.”

“I see,” said Shi Mengwan, nodding. “He is good-looking.”

“Do you like him? I can introduce him to you.”

“No, thanks.” Shi Mengwan thought of the call she just had with Zhan Haoze.

Shi Mengwan and Zhan Haoze didn’t say a word to each other on the phone and just stayed silent throughout. He didn’t talk, and she didn’t know what to say.

She should have hung up the phone, but she didn’t want to. Besides, she felt that just listening to Zhan Haoze breath had made her feel peaceful and contented.

Therefore, although their phone call had lasted for a long time, they only spoke a few words.

Even so, Shi Mengwan was steadfast that she would only choose Zhan Haoze. As to other men, she was not interested right now.
