Shi Mengwan forced herself to shift her gaze. At this moment, Wan Xianyang was also looking at her.

He leaned close to her ear and said in a very soft voice, “Are you bored? It’s fine. We’ll stay for a while and then leave. I’ll treat you to a big meal later.”

Shi Mengwan couldn’t help but laugh at his words. This person was really very casual when it came to doing things. He left just like that.

With Wan Xianyang’s diversion, Shi Mengwan was no longer so nervous. She took two steps back without a trace and retreated behind Dong Yi and the others.

Wan Xianyang smiled and followed behind. This way, he wouldn’t stand out. After all, it wasn’t very polite to leave without saying goodbye.

When Chen Feifei saw Shi Mengwan, she was surprised, but it was only for a moment. She was representing the Chen family today, representing Chen Yongchang.

“Hello, Grandpa Dong.” Chen Feifei handed over the gift in her hand as she spoke. “I wish you the best of luck.”

“Good, good.” Grandpa Dong nodded repeatedly. He looked at Zhan Haoze and took a step forward. “I wish you good health and a long life.”

Shi Mengwan froze. Zhan Haoze’s speech was the same as hers. Although these words were the same back and forth, this feeling was indeed —

Zhan Haoze had prepared another gift for elder Dong. He had also interacted with elder Dong a few times. He treated him with respect.

“Okay, okay. You’re thoughtful.” Elder Dong liked to interact with juniors. Looking at these young people, he always felt that he was young. “Don’t be formal here. You’re all young people. Go play with young people.”

As he spoke, he thought of Wan Xianyang. He waved his hand and motioned for Wan Xianyang to come over.

“Kid from the Wan family, let me introduce you. You’ve been in Rong City all this time, so you probably don’t know him. This is Zhan Haoze. He can be considered one of the best young people in our Lin City.”

“Haoze, this is Wan Xianyang from Rong City. His old Langxuan is very famous in the country.”

“You’re too kind, Old Master.” Wan Xianyang smiled and reached out his hand. “Hello, I’m Wan Xianyang.”

“Zhan Haoze.” Zhan Haoze reached out his hand and shook Wan Xianyang’s hand.

Wan Xianyang didn’t know if it was an illusion, but why did he feel that Zhan Haoze’s handshake was particularly strong?

Letting go of his hand, Wan Xianyang felt his hand hurt. Although he knew some kung fu and usually worked out, there was still a difference between him and Zhan Haoze, who came from a solid background of fist fighting.

Seeing that someone had come over to celebrate Grandpa Dong’s birthday, he took Shi Mengwan to the side to avoid them. Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei also took the opportunity to stand over.

After leaving Grandpa Dong’s side, the group of people inexplicably stood together again.

“Nice to meet you. May I know what kind of business Mr. Zhan is in? If there’s a chance, we might be able to work together.”

Wan Xianyang was always well-rounded and would never offend anyone. Among Huo Jinyao’s circle of childhood friends, he was the most tactful.

“There will be a chance.” As Zhan Haoze spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept across Shi Mengwan’s face. He nodded slightly and said, “Miss Shi, what a coincidence.”

As soon as he said this, the other three people present were shocked. Especially Shi Mengwan. She could not believe that Zhan haoze would actually greet her?

Chen Feifei couldn’t help but take another look at her. Then, she went to hold Zhan Haoze’s arm. “Brother Hao, do you still remember Miss Shi?”

“Isn’t this outfit designed by Miss Shi?”

Zhan Haoze said casually. When Chen Feifei appeared in front of him wearing this outfit today, he was shocked.

He thought that this outfit was special for Shi Mengwan and that she wouldn’t be willing to sell it. Who knew that not only did she sell it, but she also sold it to Chen Feifei.

Chen Feifei pouted. She remembered that she did mention it when she wore this set of clothes today, but she felt a little annoyed.

In her heart, all women were her potential rivals in love. She really didn’t want Zhan Haoze to notice other women, even if it was just a name.

Wan Xianyang looked at Shi Mengwan because of Zhan Haoze’s words. His eyes were obviously filled with admiration and amazement. “I always knew you were very impressive, but I really didn’t expect you to be this impressive.”

Shi Mengwan was a little embarrassed. She smiled faintly. “It’s nothing. It’s just my profession.”

Seeing that Chen Feifei and Zhan Haoze were still standing there without moving, she looked at Wan Xianyang. “I’m a little hungry. Let’s go and sit down.”

“Okay.” Wan Xianyang nodded. He looked at Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei and said, “Excuse me.”

They left. Zhan Haoze stood there with a gloomy look in his eyes. Chen Feifei’s hand was still holding his arm. He withdrew his hand without a trace.

“Brother Hao, let’s find a seat and sit down.”

Zhan Haoze withdrew his hand when Chen Feifei was about to take his hand again. The two of them went to their seats and sat down.

“Brother Hao, there are really a lot of people here today.”

Chen Feifei also saw Su Chenghui. The status of the Su family wasn’t ordinary. Usually, they wouldn’t come to a banquet like the Dong family’s.

Zhan Haoze didn’t hear Chen Feifei’s words. He looked in the direction of Su Chenghui. If he remembered correctly, Su Chenghui seemed to have gone out on his own?

“Brother Hao? Are you listening to me?”

“Eat something.”

Zhan Haoze’s voice was indifferent. Chen Feifei gritted her teeth. She wore a new dress today and specially dressed herself up. However, Zhan Haoze didb’t look at her. This made her very discouraged and her expression became more and more unsightly.

“Brother Hao, you –”

She wanted to flare up, but she was in someone else’s place after all. She couldb;t go too far. Thinking that Zhan Haoze would coax her, she could only turn around and sulk. Who knew that Zhan Haoze still didn’t look at her, and that made Chen Feifei very angry.

Wan Xianyang, on the other hand, kept teasing Shi Mengwan. He was afraid that she would be uncomfortable in such a place, so he would find some funny things from time to time to make her happy.

Shi Mengwan was so amused by him that she really forgot about what happened before. A smile appeared on her face.

However, she didn’t know that her smile made Zhan Haoze’s eyes gloomier and gloomier.

Halfway through the banquet, Wan Xianyang left with Shi Mengwan. Before she left, she casually looked around the banquet hall and found that Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei weren’t there.

She quickly retracted her gaze and left with Wan Xianyang.

Wan Xianyang was also a wonderful person. He left the hotel but didn’t bring her home. Instead, he found a place and changed out of his flamboyant suit.

Shi Mengwan looked at the T-shirt and jeans on her body and was a little stunned.

“Where are we going?”

“Guess?”

Wan Xianyang kept her guessing. When he put on his suit and gown, he looked like a successful person. However, when he put on his jeans and T-shirt, he looked a little bohemian.

What surprised Shi Mengwan more was that he actually took her to the food stall behind the university town.

When Shi Mengwan got off the car, she thought there was something wrong with her eyes.

“You –”

“I guess you haven’t been here for a long time, right?”

Shi Mengwan nodded. It had indeed been a long time. She used to come here with Su Qingsang. However, Su Qingsang was very busy. Medical students weren’t any less busy than fashion design professionals.

She had to take a lot of exams. Even when she wasn’t rushing to write her thesis, she still had a lot of things to do.

However, they still came here a lot. Shi Mengwan smelled the familiar scent in the air. She really missed it.

“Let’s go. I heard the oyster omelet at the first stall is very delicious.”

“You even know about that?” Shi Mengwan was even more surprised now.

Wan Xianyang smiled proudly. “Of course, I did my homework.”

He brought Shi Mengwan to the stall inside. Shi Mengwan looked at the familiar stalls on both sides. She had to admit that her background made her feel that this kind of environment was more suitable for her.

Those feasts where people toasted with each other looked grand, but in fact, she really didn’t like it.

Shi Mengwan used to come here often, and Wan Xianyang had done his homework. The two of them picked some good-tasting stalls and ate from the street vendors.

When Shi Mengwan reached the end of the street, she felt a little full.

“I’m so full.”

“Do you want to go for a walk to digest your food?”

Shi Mengwan looked at the time and shook her head. “No need, right? It’s late. I still have work tomorrow.”

“That’s a pity.” Wan Xianyang sighed. “I was thinking of spending more time with you today. After all, I’m leaving tomorrow.”

Seeing that Shi Mengwan didn’t show any signs of reluctance, Wan Xianyang clicked his tongue. “You’re really cold and aloof. I’ve said so much, so can’t you pretend that you can’t bear to part with me?”

Shi Mengwan couldn’t pretend. “Wan Xianyang, you’re actually a very good person, but –”

“Stop.” Wan Xianyang stopped her. “I don’t think I’m a good person, so I don’t need you to give me the good person card.”

Shi Mengwan smiled. “En, then you’re not a good person, but I am, so we’re not compatible.”

“Mengwan, oh Mengwan, you really know how to hurt me.”

When Wan Xianyang was leading her to the parking lot, he said, “I’m really curious now. What kind of man do you want? Do you want a God?”

He had asked Su Qingsang many times, but Su Qingsang refused to tell him. This made him very depressed.

Zhan Haoze’s face flashed across Shi Mengwan’s mind. She said self-deprecatingly, “No, not a god, but Satan.”

“Hahahaha.” Wan Xianyang laughed uncontrollably. “What should I do? Mengwan, I really like you more and more.”

“That’s hard to do.” Shi Mengwan could tell that he was joking and she regained her calmness. “Because even though you’re not a good person, you’re not Satan.”

Wan Xianyang smiled even more brightly. The two of them walked to the parking lot and almost stopped.

They got into the car. This place wasn’t far from Shi Mengwan’s apartment. Not long after, they arrived at the apartment building.

Shi Mengwan got out of the car and was about to go home when Wan Xianyang stopped her. He got out of the car and took out the dress that Shi Mengwan had changed out of at the clothing store.

“You haven’t taken this yet.”

“Thank you.” Shi Mengwan thanked him. Remembering that the earrings were still on her ears, she raised her hand and wanted to take them off.

“You don’t have to return this to me.” Wan Xianyang looked at Shi Mengwan. “If you reject me and then return my things, you will make me think of how I was rejected by you every day. That will be too cruel.”

“You can give it to someone else.” Shi Mengwan felt that she was being rude after she said that. “But this is too expensive. I really can’t accept it.”

“If you really want to be so polite with me, then I really don’t mind turning into Satan tonight.”

After he said that, Shi Mengwan couldn’t continue. She could only stop her actions.

“Thank you.”

“I should be the one thanking you.” Wan Xianyang wasn’t being polite. “It’s not that I’ve never been to Lin City before, but I really didn’t realize that Lin City was so fun. So you see, I should be thanking you.”
