Chapter 685 - I’m Wanwan’s Boyfriend (1/2)
Her body stiffened and she didn’t dare to move at all.
I’m sorry? Was that something that someone like Zhan Haoze would say? For a moment, she thought there was something wrong with her ears. How was that possible?
She must’ve heard it wrong, she must’ve heard it wrong.
As her thoughts ran wild, her hand was wrapped by a thick and warm palm. That soft, feather-like kiss landed on her again. This time, on her eyelids.
“I’m sorry.”
Those three very soft words rang out again. This time, it was even clearer than before.
She didn’t dare to move, but her trembling eyelashes betrayed her current emotions. She forced herself not to open her eyes.
Her excessive restraint made her hands clench into fists by her side. Her eyes were a little sore.
But it was only for a moment. After thinking for a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and met Zhan Haoze’s gaze.
Their eyes met and Shi Mengwan’s almond-shaped eyes were clear and cold. “Zhan Haoze, I don’t need you to say sorry.”
“I just want you to leave this place.”
Her voice was very soft, but her gaze was very determined. She really didn’t want to be entangled with him like this anymore.
“Wanwan?”
“You can go.”
These three words were extremely calm. Half of Shi Mengwan’s reason was because she was sick, and the other half was because she was tired. She should have ended this entanglement a long time ago.
However, she really missed it too much, and she was too greedy for the warmth and care that her Dear Brother had brought to her.
Zhan Haoze didn’t respond to her words. He pulled the blanket higher for her.
“You’re still sick. You should rest first.”
“Zhan Haoze, don’t you understand?” Shi Mengwan looked at him with a face of resistance. “With you here, it’s impossible for me to rest well.”
Zhan Haoze’s brows furrowed again. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. He picked it up without thinking too much.
Shi Mengwan was so ill that she was in a daze. She couldn’t react to the familiar ringtone at first.
It wasn’t until the sound of “Auntie” rang in her ear that her eyes widened like thunder. She wanted to sit up, but Zhan Haoze had already started chatting with mother Shi on the other end of the phone.
“Auntie? Hello.”
Shi Mengwan couldn’t even imagine her mother’s reaction on the other end of the phone. “Zhan Haoze –”
She lowered her voice and gestured for Zhan Haoze to return the phone to her.
“I’m Zhan Haoze, Wanwan’s boyfriend.”
Zhan Haoze looked into her eyes and said firmly. Shi Mengwan covered her eyes with one hand.
“She’s still sleeping. Yes, she caught a cold when she came back yesterday.”
Zhan Haoze had been answering Shi Mengwan’s calls for the past few days. It was just that she didn’t have many calls. Previously, Xiao Ji had called because she had called too many times. Zhan Haoze also knew that it was a call from the studio, so he helped her answer one.
Shi Mengwan originally thought that she could escape for a while, but Zhan Haoze’s words made her sink into great despair.
“Yes, it’s my fault. I didn’t take good care of her.”
Shi Mengwan raised her head and glared at Zhan Haoze. She hated his shameless behavior to the extreme.
“Should I ask her to answer the phone?”
“Okay. I’ll wait for her to wake up and ask her to call you back.”
It was unknown to Shi Mengwan what Zhan Haoze said on the other end of the phone. Zhan Haoze glanced at Shi Mengwan. “Okay, this weekend, right? I’ll definitely pay a visit.”
“Zhan Haoze…”
Shi Mengwan’s lips moved and she almost screamed. She was shocked by Zhan Haoze’s shamelessness and even forgot about his self-introduction.
He said he was her boyfriend? Shi Mengwan didn’t have time to think about Zhan Haoze’s words. She was already so shocked by what he said next that her eyes widened.
“Thank you, Auntie. Don’t worry, I’ll bring Wanwan back with me.”
“Okay, okay. Bye.”
As soon as Zhan Haoze hung up, Shi Mengwan ignored her weak body and rushed forward to snatch the phone away.
She glared at him. Even though she was still weak, she still pointed at the tip of his nose.
“You, you, you, who allowed you to agree?” This was too much, this was too much.
She was so angry because she didn’t expect Zhan Haoze to do this at all.
Compared to her, who was angry, Zhan Haoze was much more indifferent. “Auntie said that she wanted me to bring you home this weekend.”
“I don’t want to.” Shi Mengwan didn’t want her parents or family to know about her relationship with Zhan Haoze at all. “Zhan Haoze, get out. If you want to go back, you go back. I won’t go home with you.”
Not only would she not go home with him, she even wanted to beat him up.
“I’ll go back?” Zhan Haoze nodded and didn’t seem to object. “Alright, then I’ll pick a time to visit Auntie and Uncle.”
“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan threw her phone to the side and reached out to pull Zhan Haoze’s sleeve. “What do you want?”
“Didn’t I say that I’ll accompany you home to meet your parents?”
“Meet my parents? As what?”
“Your boyfriend.”
Shi Mengwan nodded. “My boyfriend? Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.” There was nothing uncertain about it.
“You’re my boyfriend. Who is Chen Feifei to you?”
Zhan haoze’s expression didn’t change, but an ambivalent expression flashed through his eyes. “She’s nothing.”
“Heh. Nothing? Isn’t she your legitimate fiancée?”
“I’m not engaged to her.” That was just a one-sided agreement between Chen Yongchang and Chen Feifei. He didn’t agree.
If he could, he even wanted to withdraw and retreat, but now wasn’t the time.
Shi Mengwan smiled, but that smile didn’t reach her eyes. “An ordinary person’s heart changes, and an old friend’s heart changes easily.”
She didn’t refute his words for the first time, but the meaning behind it was enough.
Zhan Haoze looked at her and reached out to shake her hand, but she avoided him. “Leave.”
“Wanwan.” Zhan Haoze wasn’t angry at her attitude. “If I leave, who will accompany you home?”
Shi Mengwan laughed lightly and didn’t seem surprised by his question at all. “I don’t need you to accompany me. I’ll tell my mom that we broke up.”
Zhan Haoze’s expression darkened because of her words. He didn’t speak and just looked at her fixedly.
It was rare for Shi Mengwan to not shrink back at all. She just looked at him.
Their gazes met in the air and no one was willing to back down. Shi Mengwan swallowed her saliva and forced herself to calm down.
“Zhan Haoze, you said that you want to accompany me home. You said that you want to see my family with me. Do you know what it means for you to follow me home?”
Shi Mengwan’s voice was a little hoarse. Her head was still a little dizzy. Her body was also soft and she couldn’t exert any strength.
“If you go home with me, it means that you’re willing to separate our identities. It means that you’re willing to marry me. Zhan Haoze –”
