“It means that you will live your own life. Your own life.”

Zhan Haoze explained again with a rare good temper. Chen Feifei understood, but she was unwilling to understand.

“Brother Hao, what do you mean? What do you mean by my own life? This is the life I want.”

“No. No.” Zhan Haoze looked at her with indifference. “What I mean is that you can get in touch with more members of the opposite sex, fall in love, and enjoy the process of falling in love.”

Chen Feifei looked at him in a daze. It took her some time to react to the meaning of Zhan Haoze’s words. Her eyes were full of shock. After she reacted, she began to lose control of her emotions.

“Brother Hao, what do you mean? I’m your fiancée. You want me to find another man?”

“Feifei, you know that I only have brotherly affection for you.”

“Brother Hao.” Chen Feifei interrupted him. “Don’t say it. I don’t want to hear it.”

“Feifei –”

“Brother Hao, I don’t want to fall in love with another man. I like you. I love you. I don’t want anyone else. I only want you.”

“But I don’t love you.” Zhan Haoze was worried about Chen Feifei’s body in the past. He had never said it so directly to her. He simply hinted at it, but now, he wasn’t willing to continue anymore.

Chen Feifei’s face turned pale. She looked at Zhan Haoze and didn’t accept what he said at all. “Brother Hao, I know you don’t love me, but now you don’t even give me the chance to love you? Is that so?”

Zhan Haoze’s cold face softened because of Chen Feifei’s expression. “Feifei, you’re still young. You don’t understand what love is.”

“How don’t I understand?” Chen Feifei shook her head. She refused to accept what Zhan Haoze said. “I only know that I like you. I’ve always liked you. I wasn’t sensible in the past. Waiting for you to come back and accompany me, I stayed at home every day. But now, I’ve changed. Look, I like you. I go to work every day. I work very hard. Last time, my father praised me. Brother Haoze. I can do anything, but I can’t do it without you. Don’t treat me like this. I, I…”

Her heart palpitated again. She covered her heart with one hand and looked at Zhan Haoze with a pained expression. “Brother Haoze, I really can do anything, as long as you don’t abandon me.”

“Feifei.” After all, she was the girl that he had watched grow up. Zhan Haoze’s expression was cold, but it wasn’t as cold as before. “You don’t have to be like this. I really don’t love you.”

“Because you don’t love me, you’ll even take away my right to love you, right?”

Chen Feifei’s eyes had tears in them, and she was on the verge of tears. Because of her illness, her face was very pale. She looked very weak and uncomfortable.

Zhan Haoze wasn’ot moved at all. “Feifei, you need to live your own life.”

He wouldn’t have her in his life.

Chen Feifei had been thinking about doing her job well these days, so that Zhan Haoze would look at her differently.

But she didn’t expect Zhan Haoze to be so heartless.

“Brother Hao.” Wanting to grab Zhan Haoze’s hand, Chen Feifei went forward. Zhan Haoze avoided her, and her face turned even paler.

“Brother Hao, do you already hate me so much? What did I do wrong?”

Zhan Haoze didn’t answer her question. “Feifei, I will probably go out tomorrow. You can also use this opportunity to think about what I said.”

He had said everything he could. As for how to think about it, that was her own business. Just as he was about to ask Tang Hua to send her back, Chen Feifei’s body went limp. She actually fainted in his arms.

“Feifei?”

When she fell to the ground, Zhan Haoze had no choice but to reach out to support her. He carried her horizontally and rushed outside.

..

An hour later, Chen Yongchang rushed over after hearing the news. He looked at his daughter, who was unconscious on the hospital bed, then looked at Zhan Haoze with an unusually gloomy gaze.

“Haoze, is this how you treat Feifei?”

Zhan Haoze was silent, and his mannerism made Chen Yongchang even angrier. “Tell me? How have I treated you all these years? Huh? Putting aside the fact that I have devoted myself to nurturing you all these years, just think of it as me saving you back then so that you wouldn’t die on the streets. You should also think of being grateful, right? I also don’t want you to mention our family’s kindness to you every day, but no matter what, you know how good Feifei has been to you all these years. Now that you’re treating her like this, are you worthy of Feifei?”

Zhan Haoze pursed his lips into a straight line. No matter what Chen Yongchang said, he just wouldn’t open his mouth.

Chen Yongchang was very angry. He pointed at him and said, “You, you, you. Okay. So I’ve raised an ingrate all these years, right? Huh? Zhan Haoze, you’re not being kind.”

Zhan Haoze stood there and let Chen Yongchang’s hand almost touch the tip of his nose. There were doctors and nurses passing by from time to time. Chen Yongchang took his hand back with hatred.

“Haoze, you can’t be heartless.”

“Uncle.” Zhan Haoze finally spoke. “After so many years, you should have seen everything I’ve done for the Chen family. The Chen family has done me a favor. I know that I’ve been repaying them all these years, but there are some things that you know very well and can’t force yourself to do so. I only have brotherly affection for Feifei, and there’s no romantic love for her. If Feifei really gets together with me, she won’t be happy either.”

“You’re saying this now? Then why did you agree to be engaged to Feifei in the first place?”

Zhan Haoze’s expression didn’t change, but there was a flash of mockery in his eyes. “What was that engagement about? Do you still need me to tell you?”

Chen Yongchang’s face couldn’t hold it in, so he could only use the favor to argue. “In any case, the Chen family has done you a favor, and Feifei has done you a favor as well. You can’t do such a thing.”

As he spoke, he grabbed Zhan Haoze’s arm. “Don’t forget. If it wasn’t for Feifei insisting on saving you back then, you would have been buried on some mountain by now. I won’t ask you for anything else. You have to be responsible for Feifei no matter what.”

Zhan Haoze looked at Chen Yongchang’s hand. His gaze was a little cold. Under that gaze, even Chen Yongchang, who had lived more than 20 years than him, had no choice but to take his hand back.

The doctor happened to come out at this moment to tell them that Chen Feifei had woken up. The two of them entered the ward together.

Chen Feifei’s face was pale. Her entire person was like a little white flower that had been destroyed. When she saw Zhan Haoze, her eyes turned red again. She wanted to say something but stopped.

Chen Yongchang felt sorry for his daughter. He glared at Zhan Haoze and took a few steps forward. “Feifei, how are you?”

“Dad, I’m fine.”

Chen Feifei’s voice was weak. Chen Yongchang felt sorry for her, but she just stared at Zhan Haoze.

“Brother Hao, can we have a few words?”

Zhan Haoze didn’t speak, but his expression became more serious than before. Chen Feifei bit her lip and begged, “Brother Hao, are you not even willing to talk to me now?”

Chen Yongchang glared at Zhan Haoze again. “Feifei, Daddy will wait for you. I still have something to look for you.”

Leaving only Chen Feifei and Zhan Haoze in the ward, he went out.

“Brother Hao –”

“Feifei.” Zhan Haoze looked at her. “I’m going to Qing City tomorrow. I won’t be back for a while.”

“Brother Hao.” Chen Feifei was anxious. She wanted to get out of bed, but Zhan Haoze stopped her.

“During this period of time, you can think about what you want.”

“I want you. You’ve always been the only one I want.”

“You’re still too young.” Zhan Haoze shook his head. “Your father is worried about you. Take good care of yourself. Don’t do anything that makes him more worried.”

After saying that, Zhan Haoze didn’t look at Chen Feifei anymore. He turned around and left the ward.

Chen Feifei wanted to get off the bed and chase after him, but Chen Yongchang had already come in and stopped her.

Zhan Haoze didn’t see this, but at this time, even if he did see it, he wouldn’t care.

When he left the hospital, Tang Hua had been watching over him. When he saw him come out, he immediately went forward to open the car door for him.

When he got into the car, Tang Hua signaled the driver to start driving. He looked at him worriedly. “Boss, how is Chen Feifei?”

Zhan Haoze didn’t say anything. Tang Hua raised his eyebrows and looked like he was gossiping. “That old fox, Chen Yongchang, is he going to ask you to repay his kindness again?”

Seeing that Zhan Haoze didn’t say anything, Tang Hua said, “That old fox. Do you really think that you don’t know what he did after that?”

Zhan Haoze didn’t reply. Tang Hua saw that Zhan Haoze wasn’t angry, so he couldn’t help but say a few more words, “Speaking of which, the Chen family almost went bankrupt because of the economic crisis that year. If it weren’t for your help, the Chen family wouldn’t have any glory now? If it weren’t for you supporting the entire Chen family that year, the father and daughter would have had a hard time, not to mention their current position in Lin City. How could they still have the face to talk to you about favors? This old fox is really thick-skinned.”

Sensing Zhan Haoze’s gaze on him, Tang Hua didn’t shrink back. “It was. That favor was long repaid. It was you –”

Zhan Haoze’s gaze became sharper and fiercer. Tang Hua didn’t say anything else.

“Boss, don’t glare at me. I’m feeling wronged on your behalf.”

Zhan Haoze continued to be silent. It didn’t matter whether he felt wronged or not. It was a fact that Chen Feifei and Chen Yongchang had saved him. This couldn’t be denied.

Chen Yongchang extorted favors in return, so it was understandable. However, whether he agreed to repay the favor or not was up to him.

..

Because of Shi Mengwan’s arrival, Shi Mengwan felt much better. The two of them didn’t talk about Zhan Haoze anymore.

Shi Mengwan recovered quickly. The next day, she felt much better. Once she was well, she wanted to go to work, but Mother Shi wouldn’t let her.

“The studio is yours anyway. Your body is yours too. You can do your work anytime, but if your body breaks down, you won’t have it anymore.”

Because of Mother Shi’s presence, Shi Mengwan couldn’t go to work, so she could only promise to rest at home for another day.

Mother Shi was very happy to get an affirmative answer from her daughter. She picked up her bag and went out to buy groceries.

Just as Mother Shi left, the doorbell rang. Shi Mengwan happened to see Mother Shi’s phone on the coffee table. She thought it was Mother Shi coming back for her phone, so she went to open the door without thinking.

When the door opened and she saw Zhan Haoze standing outside, Shi Mengwan closed the door without thinking.

Zhan Haoze stretched out his long legs and blocked her from closing the door. Since the door couldn’t be closed, he used this opportunity to flash through the door.

“Zhan Haoze?”

The next second, Zhan Haoze hugged her. Shi Mengwan instinctively wanted to struggle —

“Don’t move.” Zhan Haoze pressed his chin against her neck. “Let me hug you.”

Shi Mengwan’s body was very stiff. She was tightly hugged by Zhan Haoze and couldn’t even move.

However, she had never seen Zhan Haoze like this before. She was a little dazed. She reflexively moved her body.

Zhan Haoze let go of her hand at this moment. He stepped back a little and his gaze fell on Shi Mengwan’s face.
