Chapter 693 - You Have Someone You Like (1/2)

Love and affection couldn’t be restrained. Even if one worked hard, when one liked someone, the expression in one’s eyes couldn’t be hidden, and one’s facial expression couldn’t be hidden either.

No matter how much homework one did, no matter how much psychological construction one put in, it would be useless.

That low “I miss you” made Shi Mengwan throw away her armor.

She had thought many times that she might meet him again, but she had never thought that they would meet like this. She thought that two months was enough for her to do some psychological work. It was enough for her to forget about the person in front of her, and then she could return to her usual calm.

But when they really met, she realized that her heart was moving and was completely out of her control.

Smelling the familiar scent on his body and feeling the warmth brought by their lips and teeth, for a moment, she couldn’t extricate herself —

The dizziness only lasted for a moment. Shi Mengwan heard the sound of footsteps in the distance. She suddenly came back to her senses and pushed Zhan Haoze away forcefully. She took a big step back.

Because she had retreated too quickly, Shi Mengwan’s back even hit the wall behind her.

She felt some pain and steadied herself to stare at the man in front of her. Her gaze was very complicated. She lowered her eyes and after taking a few breaths, the flirtatious look from before had completely disappeared.

When she raised her head again, Shi Mengwan’s eyes were filled with rationality and not a single trace of emotion. A kiss that she couldn’t help but give was already the best she could give. She couldn’t do and couldn’t afford to give even more.

She looked at Zhan Haoze warily and turned to leave. However, Zhan Haoze stood in front of her and blocked her way.

“Wanwan?” Didn’t she likeit just now?

“Zhan Haoze, we’ve already broken up.”

Shi Mengwan said this calmly and Zhan Haoze’s eyes darkened. “Wanwan, I didn’t agree to it.”

“That’s your business. I thought we already had a tacit understanding.”

“Wanwan?”

“Sorry, I won’t get involved with a man who has a fiancée.”

Shi Mengwan’s attitude was firm. Zhan Haoze wanted to stop her, but his phone rang just now. The number on it forced him to answer the call first.

It was at this moment that Shi Mengwan left the corridor.

When Zhan Haoze hung up the call and walked out, Shi Mengwan was no longer in her original position.

Of course, Wan Xianyang was also missing.

..

Shi Mengwan sat in her car and looked at Wan Xianyang, who had gotten into the car uninvited. She felt a little helpless. She thought that she had already made things clear.

In fact, the two-year agreement that Shi Mengwan had mentioned did indeed have the purpose of silencing Grandma Shi so that she would no longer have the idea of passing stepchild to her parents.

However, the reason behind the other purpose was that she wasn’t sure how far she could go with Zhan Haoze. Before that, she had no intention of getting married and had no intention of falling in love.

Using this as an excuse, she could avoid a lot of trouble.

However, she didn’t expect her mother to be so capable. Not only was she not repelled by the excuse and reason she found, but she even found a suitable man to go on blind dates with her again and again.

She was really convinced in this regard.

The car stopped at her apartment and she looked at Wan Xianyang helplessly. She had just said that she wasn’t feeling well and wanted to go home to rest.

Wan Xianyang suggested to send her home, no matter how much she refused. When she reached the parking spot, he took her car keys and got into the car.

“Since you’re not feeling well, I’ll drive.”

He knew that this was just her excuse, but Shi Mengwan really couldn’t drive him out of the driver’s seat.

“I’m already home.” Motioning for him to get out of the car and then return the car keys to her, Shi Mengwan reached out her hand to Wan Xianyang as she spoke.

Wan Xianyang got out of the car, but he didn’t return the car keys to her. Standing in front of the car and looking at Shi Mengwan, he was very tall.

“What do you mean by marrying into the family? You put it out on purpose to make things difficult for people, right?” What era was it now? Who would still make such a request?

Shi Mengwan’s expression didn’t change. She was very well aware of Wan Xianyang’s family background. He grew up with Huo Jinyao, so it probably wouldn’t be too bad.

“No, I’m serious.”

Appearing to be a little conflicted, Wan Xianyang looked at her. Seriously speaking, putting aside the one or two illegitimate children that his old man had accidentally had outside… His mother had only given birth to him.

He never had any siblings, which was why he had a particularly good relationship with Huo Jinyao and the others.

Now that Shi Mengwan had mentioned this condition, he was really stumped.

Even if he was willing, his parents wouldn’t agree to it. Wan Xianyang was having a headache. Even if this was indeed Shi Mengwan’s condition, he couldn’t do it.

“Mengwan, how about this? Let’s take a step back.”

Not understanding what he meant by taking a step back, Shi Mengwan looked at him.

“If you agree to be with me, we can have two children, one with your surname and the other with mine. How about it?”

Shi Mengwan looked at Wan Xianyang. For a moment, she was really touched.

With Wan Xianyang’s family background and status, it was already very sincere and earnest for him to say such words.

“Wan Xianyang, thank you.” Shi Mengwan thanked him sincerely. “I really thank you.”

She didn’t say more, but what did that mean that Wan Xianyang didn’t understand?

“En, you thank me, but you can’t accept me, right?”

“Wan Xianyang –”

“Mengwan, tell me the truth.” Wan Xianyang thought of what he had seen in France and the things that happened afterwards. “Do you have someone in your heart?”

Shi Mengwan was stunned for a moment. When she met Wan Xianyang’s clear eyes, she hesitated for a second and quickly nodded.

“Yes. I have someone I like.”

Wan Xianyang looked as if he had expected it. “No wonder.”

The atmosphere was a little silent. Shi Mengwan didn’t know what to say. She stood there while feeling a little awkward.

“It’s okay.” Wan Xianyang was much calmer than her. “I sensed it long ago.”

Shi Mengwan’s expression was strange. Wan Xianyang smiled gently. “If you don’t like someone, how could you not have such an outstanding man like me in your eyes? Don’t you think so?”

His words made Shi Mengwan’s expression relax quite a bit. She smiled lightly.

“Because I’m blind.”

With her smile, Wan Xianyang also relaxed. There were some things that could be seen through without being made explicit, but if they were really seen through, it would be better.

“Alright. Then I hope you won’t be blind for too long.” Wan Xianyang continued, “Otherwise, if you pretend to be blind, you’ll become really blind.”

After rejecting Shi Mengwan’s suggestion to send him off, Wan Xianyang walked out of the neighborhood and left.

Shi Mengwan looked at his back figure, and the corners of her lips curled into a straight line again.

She had been entangled with Zhan Haoze for such a long time. She couldn’t stop it, and it was messy. After going back and forth so many times, wasn’t she blind?

It was just that she didn’t feel like she could control her heart. Moreover, her feelings for Zhan Haoze were no longer as simple as her heart being moved.

After more than a year of them relying on each other, she never forgot the care and companionship she had once had.

Not letting herself think about Zhan Haoze anymore, she shook her head. Some things, no matter how difficult, had to be learned to let go.

Shi Mengwan didn’t see Zhan Haoze looking for her that night, which made her feel relieved once again.

Her personality could be said to be flamboyant, and her will could also be said to be firm. However, all of her rationality would become vulnerable in front of Zhan Haoze.

Perhaps, she needed to distance herself for a while? How about flying to Rong City for a few days after finishing this list? Not only could she accompany Su Qingsang, but she could also avoid Zhan Haoze.

Shi Mengwan thought it out well, but the next morning, when she opened the door and was about to go to work, she saw Zhan Haoze guarding the door.

Seeing him, Shi Mengwan instinctively took a step back, but thinking that she was going to work, she took another step forward.

This way, she stood in front of Zhan Haoze. His tall body made the entire door look very cramped. He also successfully blocked Shi Mengwan’s way out.

“Zhan Haoze, please move aside, I want to go out.”

“I bought breakfast for you.” Zhan Haoze acted as if he didn’t see her cold face. “You probably haven’t eaten breakfast yet. Go after you eat.”

Shi Mengwan stared at the bag that Zhan Haoze was carrying. The logo on it was a very famous Hong Kong-style breakfast restaurant in Lin City.

Withdrawing her gaze, Shi Mengwan’s hand gripped the bag tightly. “No need, thank you. I’ve eaten. Please move aside.”

Her stiff tone was an obvious rejection, but in Zhan Haoze’s eyes, such a rejection wasn’t thorough enough.

He suddenly moved his face closer to Shi Mengwan. This sudden action gave Shi Mengwan a fright, and her body naturally took a step back.

Stabilizing her body while continuing to move forward in front of her, Zhan Haoze placed the hand that didn’t carry breakfast on her waist.

The tip of his nose gently swept past her lips. Finally, he held her waist and took a step forward. The two of them stood in the house together. Zhan Haoze hooked the tip of his foot and easily closed the door.

“Eat breakfast.”

He raised the bag in his hand.

“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan pulled his hand away and said somewhat angrily, “I’ve eaten.”
