Chapter 655 - I’m Not Your Dear Brother (1/2)

Being stared at like this, Shi Mengwan’s exposed shoulders and skin inexplicably felt as if they were covered with a layer of coldness.

She shrank her shoulders and looked at Zhan Haoze with uncertainty.

“Dear Brother?”

Zhan Haoze turned over and pressed her under his body. He looked down at her face.

“Dear Brother?” He raised his hand and gently pinched her chin. “Who are you calling?”

“Dear Brother?” He was very heavy, and Shi Mengwan could barely breathe under his weight. “I’m calling you. Aren’t you my dear brother?”

Shi Mengwan didn’t understand. She also didn’t know why he didn’t remember her and didn’t recognize her.

However, that scar and his appearance had long been engraved in her heart. She would never forget them.

“Dear Brother, have you forgotten? I’m Wanwan.”

Zhan Haoze stared at her face. He moved closer and looked into her eyes while his hands slightly exerted force.

“So, you thought I was someone else’s substitute yesterday?”

What substitute?

Shi Mengwan froze for a moment and didn’t snap back to reality until after awhile. After she realized what Zhan Haoze meant, she quickly shook her head.

“No, Dear Brother, I didn’t. I didn’t think you were someone else.”

She only knew clearly that the person in front of her was the Dear Brother that she had been thinking about all along. Why? Why didn’t Zhan Haoze admit it?

He was obviously Dear Brother, but he didn’t admit it.

He forgot about her and everything that had happened between the two of them. She felt hurt and anxious at the same time.

They were already like this, so she wanted to awaken his memories and remind him of their past.

“Dear Brother. Look at me. I’m Shi Mengwan. Your Wanwan.”

Her jaw was pinched,

Zhan Haoze looked at her face and his voice was as cold as the ice of December. “So, you like to play games like this?”

“This isn’t a game. I didn’t mistake you for someone else.” He was Dear Brother, not someone else.

“You didn’t mistake me for someone else?”

Zhan Haoze sneered. Did she think he would believe her?

“Then who is the Dear Brother you called?”

“It’s you.” Shi Mengwan looked at him with determination. “The Dear Brother I called is you. You’re my Dear Brother.”

“Pfft.” She felt pain on her lips from being bitten by him. Shi Mengwan blinked at him. “Dear Brother…”

Her voice drifted off because Zhan Haoze had already kissed her lips.

“I’m not your Dear Brother. Don’t call me that.”

“Dear –” Shi Mengwan’s big words were swallowed up again. This time, Zhan Haoze bit even harder than before. “I’ll say it again. Don’t call me Dear Brother.”

“…”Shi Mengwan bit her lips and looked at Zhan Haoze. Her expression changed from anticipation to disappointment, from determination to confusion.

For a moment, she even suspected that she was wrong. Zhan Haoze’s arm was propped up beside her, and the scar was clear.

Shi Mengwan didn’t know why he didn’t recognize her, nor did she know why he forgot, but she did feel a lot of negative emotions because he forgot.

He wasn’t wearing any clothes, so she could feel the warmth of his skin. That temperature made her lose her focus again.

“Dear Brother?”

Zhan Haoze didn’t treat her politely this time. His devouring lips and tongue robbed her of her breath. His big hand reached into the quilt.

Soon, Shi Mengwan couldn’t call him Dear Brother anymore.

Under the effects of alcohol, drug residue, and anger from the fact that Shi Mengwan mistook him as another man, he took everything from her unceremoniously.

In the end, Shi Mengwan could only say what she wanted to say. Under his attacks, she was defeated.

… ..

Her face full of anger, Chen Feifei threw the cup in her hand to the ground.

Her eyes gloomy, she glared at the maid in front of her. “What do you mean? What do you mean brother Hao didn’t come back yesterday? Tell me clearly.”

The maid shivered. Chen Feifei’s big temper was all on them.

“Young Madam, Young Master Zhan didn’t come back yesterday. His room was empty.”

Chen Feifei certainly knew that Zhan Haoze’s room was empty, but she didn’t give up. She just thought that Zhan Haoze had gone out early.

Zhan Haoze had the habit of doing morning exercises. He had to get up to do steps every morning. She thought that he went out for a run.

“Ask Xiao Chen to drive the car over. I’m going out.”

Chen Feifei knew how to drive, but her health wasn’t good, so her family was worried. For the sake of his daughter’s convenience, Chen Yongchang assigned her a driver.

“Yes.”

Before Chen Feifei went out, she first called Chen Yongchang and asked him what Zhan Haoze had planned yesterday.

Chen Yongchang didn’t know what his precious daughter wanted to do, so he told him about Zhan Haoze’s whereabouts yesterday.

After asking, Chen Feifei went directly to the company. The Chen family was also very famous in Lin City.

Chen Yongchang started out as a seafood distributor, but he saw an opportunity later and started to speculate in real estate. It was also good luck that he encountered a good opportunity, and for several years, his business was very big.

He also had his own business in the neighboring city. In the past few years, with Zhan Haoze’s participation, he listened to his words and started to expand into other industries. Now, that company was also quite large.

Chen Feifei’s car stopped at the company’s building. Everyone in the company knew Chen Feifei and knew that this young madam couldn’t be offended. The front desk receptionist came out early in the morning to lead the way for Chen Feifei.

Chen Feifei went up the stairs with an intimidating vibe and went straight to Zhan Haoze’s office.

However, Zhan Haoze wasn’t in the office. This made Chen Feifei’s expression even more unsightly. She began to call Zhan Haoze repeatedly.

… ..

Zhan Haoze was woken up by the ringtone of his phone. He didn’t pick up the call. Instead, he turned off his phone. When he got up, he looked at the unfamiliar environment before him and finally realized where he was.

Under the blanket, he couldn’t see anything. He looked at Shi Mengwan, who was sleeping at the side.

The woman’s blanket was barely covering her chest. The skin on her shoulders, which wasn’t covered by the blanket, was covered with bruises.

Zhan Haoze rarely lost control. No, it could be said that he had never lost control. Last night, he had lost control.

The drug Ling Xue had given him was indeed powerful. Mixed with alcohol, although it was quite difficult for him to resist, it wasn’t that he really couldn’t resist.

But he had lost control. As he rubbed the space between his brows, Zhan Haoze’s expression didn’t look good.

His gaze fell on Shi Mengwan’s face. She was still sleeping soundly. There were faint dark circles beneath her eyes, and her face was a little pale.

Zhan Haoze’s expression became even uglier. His loss of control was mostly due to the scent of this woman.

He rubbed his glabella and quickly got up. When he found his wet clothes in the bathroom, his phone rang again. He looked at the phone and picked it up.

“Drive the car to the Yayuan Apartment to pick me up. Oh right, bring me a set of clothes, from the inside to the outside.”

After hanging up, Zhan Haoze took a shower. When he came out of the bathroom, he only had a towel around his waist.

Shi Mengwan was still asleep and showed no signs of waking up. He stood by the bed and stared at her face for a long time. When there was a knock on the door, he left the room.

The person standing outside the door was Tang Hua, his personal assistant.

He didn’t have any doubts about Zhan Haoze appearing in an unfamiliar place. He just handed the bag in his hand to Zhan Haoze.

From inside to outside, he had shoes and clothes. Zhan Haoze turned around and pulled the towel, then started to change his clothes.

“Young Master Zhan, the Young Madam had been looking for you since the morning. She seems to have gone to the office now.”

“Yes.”

“Young Master Zhan, you were –” Tang Hua wasn’t a talkative person, but there were some things that he was really concerned about.

“That woman, Ling Xue, drugged me.” Zhan Haoze put on his clothes and turned to look at Tang Hua. “I’ll leave the Ling family to you. I don’t want to see this company again in the business world.”

“Yes.” Tang Hua had always obeyed Zhan Haoze’s orders.

Zhan Haoze had already tidied himself up and looked at Tang Hua. “Let’s go. Let’s go to the company first.”

“Yes.” Tang Hua followed Zhan Haoze and the two of them left together.

The moment the door closed, Zhan Haoze looked in the direction of the room, but he quickly averted his gaze.

Coincidentally, Shi Mengwan’s apartment was very close to the company. Before going upstairs, Zhan Haoze instructed Tang Hua on a few things.

Tang Hua’s eyes flashed with surprise, but it only lasted for a moment before he quickly lowered his head. “Yes. I understand.”

“Go.” He was very relieved to leave the matter to Tang Hua.

Tang Hua drove off and Zhan Haoze entered the company hall. Just as he entered, secretary Le Xin came over.

“General Manager Zhan, the Young Madam is throwing a tantrum upstairs. Look –”

“I got it. Go do your thing. Find the contract from yesterday and file it with Secretary Zhao.”

When Zhan Haoze entered, Chen Feifei sat behind his desk, sulking.

“Brother Hao.” Upon seeing Zhan Haoze, even though Chen Feifei tried her best to control her anger, she still couldn’t hide the anger on her face.

“Hmm. Why did you come to the company?”

“Brother Hao.” His nonchalant expression made Chen Feifei even angrier, but the angrier she was, the more aggrieved she looked.

“Brother Hao, where did you go yesterday? Why didn’t you go home?”

She said it with extreme grievance. Even though she was furious, in front of her sweetheart, she didn’t want the other party to see her bad side.

In fact, when Zhan Haoze was in university, he made a lot of money by trading stocks and futures. Then, he bought a house near the university town.

There was a time when he used the excuse that he had a lot of studies and was busy with company matters, so he didn’t want to go back and forth and live and wanted to stay in his apartment, but Chen Feifei refused.

She said that if Zhan Haoze wanted to live in an apartment, she would follow him. Later, Chen Yongchang had no choice but to buy the apartment across from Zhan Haoze’s.

But Chen Feifei’s health wasn’t good, so she couldn’t be alone. No matter how big the apartment was, it wasn’t as comfortable as home.
