The car sped past her in a flash. Su Qingsang looked at the familiar side profile and instinctively raised her foot to catch up with it.

Before she could catch up, Huo Jinyao had already grabbed her waist. “What’s wrong? Slow down.”

“I, I think I saw a Mengwan.”

Su Qingsang looked at the disappearing silhouette of the car. She had a feeling that the side profile in the car belonged to Shi Mengwan.

But at this time, shouldn’t Shi Mengwan be in Lin City? Moreover, she seemed to have seen another figure in the car. It looked like a man’s back figure.

Would Shi Mengwan be with a man?

“Shi Mengwan?” Huo Jinyao looked in the direction the car had gone. “Are you seeing things?”

“By the way, you haven’t told me where this is.”

“The neighboring province’s Qing City.”

Su Qingsang nodded. She knew about Qing City. It was adjacent to the province where Rong City was located. It took about three and a half hours to drive from Rong City.

Qing City had a deep cultural heritage and developed very well later on. It could be considered a city in the east that had both ancient and modern elements.

It was three hours’ drive from Rong City, but it was still a different direction from Lin City.

Shi Mengwan video called her two days ago. How could she be here?

“Maybe I was seeing things.”

Su Qingsang decided to call Shi Mengwan later. Her decision to come here was also last minute. Shi Mengwan didn’t know yet.

Everything was fine about leaving Lin City and coming to Rong City with Huo Jinyao, except that she had to stay away from her family and friends. It did make her a little lonely.

At the same time, behind the Bentley that had just left, Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze who was on the phone.

There wasn’t much of a smile on her face, and she turned her gaze away from him. This villa’s environment was particularly good, and it was also close to the city.

The name was even more pleasant to the ear. It was called Cherry Blossom Manor. According to the latitude and climate of this place, the developers had planted a large patch of cherry blossoms here.

Cherry blossoms were on both sides of the road. When spring came, the cherry blossoms on both sides were colorful and beautiful.

Unfortunately, Shi Mengwan came at a bad time. It wasn’t the season for cherry blossoms to bloom. She couldn’t see the cherry blossoms. Even if she could, she wasn’t in the mood to appreciate them.

Zhan Haoze’s voice was beside her ear. She could guess who the person on the other end of the phone was.

Chen Feifei, Zhan Haoze’s fiancée.

“I’ve been a little busy these few days. If there’s anything, wait for me to go back to discuss.”

“Mhm. Take care of your body. Don’t overthink things.”

Zhan Haoze’s voice was clearer than other men’s, and he was speaking to the person on the other end of the phone in a very gentle voice.

Shi Mengwan’s expression didn’t look too pleasant. After Zhan Haoze hung up the phone, she retracted her gaze.

“If you’re so afraid of her overthinking, you can just bring her out.”

Why did he have to drag her along? Shi Mengwan felt a little stifled. The suffocating feeling was very uncomfortable.

“Send me to the airport. I want to go back.”

Zhan Haoze’s reaction was to hug her body, then easily lift her up and place her on his lap.

Shi Mengwan didn’t have time to struggle. She simply passively clung to Zhan Haoze’s body. The two of them had been entangled for almost half a year now.

In his arms, she didn’t have much will to resist. She was already used to his demands, and his roguish behavior.

But no matter how accustomed she was to him, it didn’t change the fact that this man in front of her was someone else’s fiancé.

She didn’t know what went wrong, but the situation in front of her made her feel very conflicted.

She wanted everything about this man, his kisses, his arms, his breath.

But she resisted everything about him. He didn’t admit that she was her big brother. He even had a fiancée.

Just like this time, she chased him away and told him that since he had a fiancée, so he shouldn’t come looking for her anymore.

But what about him? He forcefully broke into her home and invaded her residence. He even brought her to Qing City.

He held her waist tightly. He pulled her into his arms. Very quickly, her lips were sealed by Zhan Haoze’s. She couldn’t say a word.

She frowned slightly. The facial features of the man in front of her were so familiar that she couldn’t be more familiar with them. Even if she closed her eyes, she could still draw his appearance in her heart.

But this man didn’t belong to her. At least —

Her lips suddenly hurt. Her absent-mindedness made the man unhappy. He bit her lips hard.

She came back to her senses. Zhan Haoze was staring at her face. His slightly narrowed eyes had a gloomy look that she couldn’t fathom.

Before she could react, his hand had already reached for the hem of her clothes. The dark-colored glass in the middle of the car had already risen. The driver in front couldn’t see what they were doing behind them.

Shi Mengwan didn’t want to let him have his way in such a place. She held his hands with both hands.

“Zhan Haoze.”

When she suddenly called his name very seriously, Zhan Haoze stopped what he was doing and looked at her silently.

“Do you plan to keep doing this?”

He coaxed his fiancée while imprisoning her. He controlled her with her weakness and didn’t let her leave.

There was an unconcealed sadness in her eyes. She was such a beautiful person, but now her face was full of gloom.

“Say it, Zhan Haoze. Do you plan to keep doing this?”

He wanted to do this, but she didn’t want to continue. She had endured it until now but still couldn’t make up her mind to leave Zhan Haoze’s side. She was just looking forward to the day when Zhan Haoze would remember that she was the little sister that he had vowed to love for the rest of his life.

She was waiting for him to remember that he was the big brother that she had made up her mind to rely on.

They used to depend on each other and were inseparable, but she had lost him. When she found him again, he had forgotten who he was.

That pair of eyes was really too sad. Zhan Haoze didn’t want to look at them anymore. He raised his hand to cover her eyes, lowered his head, and kissed her lips again.

He couldn’t see her eyes, but in the next moment, he felt the wetness in his palm.

Zhan Haoze paused for a moment, but very quickly, he deepened his kiss.

…

Su Qingsang stretched her back and looked at the Cherry Blossom Avenue in front of her with awe in her eyes.

“It would be great if we came in April. We could definitely see the cherry blossoms blooming on both sides, right?”

“Yes.” Huo Jinyao nodded. He put his arm around her waist and said, “If you like it, we’ll come again next April.”

This villa was one of the best-situated ones here, and there were two more villas further inside. Those two villas took up the largest area.

They were booked the moment they came out, and this one had the best location. Not only could they see the Cherry Blossom Avenue in front, but they could also see the largest inland lake in the city behind.

He had built a garden on the other side of the lake. Sitting in the back, he could enjoy the beautiful scenery while enjoying the lake’s breeze.

“We’ll talk about it later.” Su Qingsang had slept in the car for a long time, so she wasn’t sleepy at all.

“Let’s go out for a walk.”

“Sure.” There was another advantage to this place. The environment was very good and the residential area was very large.

Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao held hands as they walked along the lakeside. They saw another villa. That villa was slightly bigger than the one they were living in now.

“Does that villa also belond to this neighborhood?”

Huo Jinyao nodded. He looked at the villa and suddenly thought of something.

If he remembered correctly, the person who bought this villa seemed to be surnamed Zhan? The Zhan family was one of the oldest families in Qing City.

When he thought of the Zhan family, he thought of the few times he met Zhan Haoze in Lin City. If he remembered correctly, the Zhan family had been in turmoil recently.

“Did your company develop this area?”

Su Qingsang’s words brought Huo Jinyao back to his senses. He smiled and held her hand as they walked up the stairs.

“Not only this Cherry Blossom Manor, but the shopping mall outside, as well as the residential area beside the shopping mall, were all built by Tianyu Group.”

At first, he had thought of building a villa area here. After all, the scenery here wasn’t bad and the feng shui here was good too.

After the villa area was built, he discovered that the nearby space was empty. Coincidentally, the Qing City’s city government was in the midst of recruiting businesses, and Tianyu Group had the power to do so. They simply took over the entire area and turned it into its current busines scale.

“Amazing.”

Upon hearing that, Huo Jinyao moved his face closer to Su Qingsang and said, “Since your husband is so amazing, don’t you want to give me a reward?”

With a “pop”, Su Qingsang leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. “My husband is the best. How about that?”

“Too perfunctory.” The kiss wasn’t sincere enough. However, he knew that Su Qingsang wasn’t a very outgoing person when outside, so he decided to let her off the hook.

Looking at the rocking chair in the gazebo in front, he brought Su Qingsang to sit down.

The autumn breeze was refreshing. At this time of year, it felt quite comfortable.

“This area was built by the Tianyu Group. What about Lin City?”

Su Qingsang had forgotten to ask this question. “Why did you go to Lin City in the first place? Also, why were you in the hospital that day?”

“Li Junsheng received a transfer order to become the mayor of Lin City and told me that this was an opportunity, but our company had originally planned to open a branch in Lin City, and a few projects had already been scheduled to start. As for why he appeared at the hospital that day, when I went to inspect the construction site, there happened to be a worker who suffered from acute appendicitis. That day, Yang Wenchang drove my car to the hospital for maintenance, so, I sent that person to the hospital myself.”

Unexpectedly, because he wasn’t familiar with the hospital, after paying the fees and settling the worker down, Huo Jinyao, who called the family and was about to leave, went in the wrong direction.

“I see.”

Su Qingsang thought about it and found it a little unbelievable. “In that case, I have to thank that worker from your company. If he didn’t suddenly suffer from acute appendicitis, we wouldn’t have had the chance to meet.”

“That’s right.”

Huo Jinyao nodded. Su Qingsang smiled and leaned her face close to his chest.

“It’s so comfortable here.”
