Chapter 696 - Making A Wedding Dress For Someone Else (1/2)
The car was very spacious and quiet.
Shi Mengwan took some time to recover from the moment of shock. She almost thought that she was going to —
She retracted her thoughts and looked at Zhan Haoze, who was in front of her. Her emotions were complicated. Ever since she was a young girl, every time she was in danger, he was the one who saved her.
It was hard to say what she felt in her heart, but at this moment, her feelings were very ambivalent. She couldn’t think of anything else, so she just stared at Zhan Haoze in a daze.
With this look, she realized that the person in front of her seemed to be different in some way.
After not seeing him for nearly two months, Zhan Haoze’s facial features were still the same, but the expression he revealed was very different.
He used to be a bit sinister and arrogant. Now, he still looked sinister and arrogant, but there was something else.
The moment he got out of the car, his eyes were cold and his gaze was as sharp as a knife. It gave people the feeling that he was a sword that had finally been unsheathed.
This kind of aura of a superior made Shi Mengwan gulp subconsciously.
The car was still parked. Shi Mengwan turned her head to look. The person in black who was in the lead outside the car window had been beaten to the ground.
The scene was a little bloody. Shi Mengwan turned around to look at Zhan Haoze.
“That’s enough, right?” If the fight went on, someone might die.
Zhan Haoze glanced at her but didn’t respond. She came out to talk about the foundry today. She was wearing a casual suit and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked much more beautiful and youthful.
He picked up the ponytail at the back of her head and leaned over to sniff it.
This action didn’t have much of an erotic smell, but Shi Mengwan felt an inexplicable ambiguity, which made her very uncomfortable.
“It’s really enough.” She forced herself to focus her attention elsewhere. “Tell them to stop.”
Zhan Haoze still had his hand on her hair. He moved his face closer. “Do you know what they wanted to do just now?”
Shi Mengwan’s breathing tightened. Of course she knew. “Just call the police.”
Zhan Haoze stared at her face for a long time and knocked on the car window. The people outside almost instantly stopped their kicking.
The group of people stood at the front and back of the car again. Shi Mengwan couldn’t help but turn around to look at Zhan Haoze.
This person had made such a big scene. He was probably different again now, right?
She didn’t have the chance to ask the questions in her heart. Those people had already gotten into the car, and the car started again.
She couldn’t help but turn around to look at him. The person in front of her still had the same face, but she felt a little unfamiliar.
Zhan Haoze looked at her wandering mind. Wanting to kiss her lips, his lips moved forward. Shi Mengwan instinctively avoided him.
This action made Zhan Haoze’s eyes darken. He put his arms around her waist and not letting her leave, he held her tightly. He lowered his head and kissed her without warning.
Shi Mengwan didn’t have time to escape. This time, Zhan Haoze kissed her directly.
The lights in the car were dim. Occasionally, there would be reflected light from the street lamps. His deep facial features couldn’t be seen clearly at this time.
“Oh.” Shi Mengwan felt a pain on her lips and was bitten by him. She stared at him with her eyes wide open. He stepped back at this moment and his hand was still on her waist.
The distance between the two faces was less than three centimeters. The atmosphere in front of her was too intimate. Shi Mengwan wasn’t used to it. At this moment, she had nothing to say. “Um, my car –”
It wasn’t just the car. Her bag was also in the car.
“Don’t worry, they’ll take care of it.”
His breath brushed against her face. Shi Mengwan wanted to step back, but for some reason, she closed her eyes. In this way, it turned out to be like inviting Zhan haoze to kiss her.
Zhan Haoze did as she wished and kissed her again.
… ..
Shi Mengwan looked at the five cars that were parked in front of her apartment and felt a headache coming on. She didn’t understand why things had become like this again.
She looked at Zhan Haoze with a completely speechless gaze. “Can you not be so ostentatious?”
She still had to live in this neighborhood in the future. If Zhan Haoze’s actions were seen by others, what would they think?
Zhan Haoze shook his head. The current situation was special. Although he had made a deal with Uncle Chi to take over the Zhan family, the Zhan family wasn’t completely peaceful either.
The current Zhan family was like a volcano that was calmly washing its face. It could erupt at any time.
Whether it was Zhan Yi or Zhan Li or Zhan Yang, they weren’t convinced of him. In the past month or so, the small actions behind the scenes were unceasing.
Zhan Haoze didn’t take them seriously, but he wouldn’t let down his guard when necessary.
“Why did you come to me?” Shi Mengwan was angry. “I remember we broke up.”
“I remember too. I didn’t agree.” He wanted to get out of the car, but Shi Mengwan sat there and refused to get out.
“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan felt tired every time she communicated with him. “What do you take me for? What do you take me for? You can appear whenever you want and disappear whenever you want. When you disappeared, there was no news at all, but when you appeared, you insisted that I cooperate with your performance? What kind of logic is this?”
She was expressionless. The emotions that she had felt when she saw him earlier had all turned into calmness.
Zhan Haoze looked at her and suddenly reached out and pulled her into his embrace. “I’m sorry.”
Shi Mengwan’s body stiffened, but Zhan Haoze acted as if he didn’t feel anything. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have disappeared and appeared whenever I wanted to, but if you’re unhappy, I can promise you that I won’t do this in the future.”
Shi Mengwan didn’t know how to react to this sudden apology.
But she quickly remembered that this was Zhan Haoze’s second apology. Last time, he also said he was sorry, but in the end?
It wasn’t that Shi Mengwan didn’t love him, she just didn’t want to believe him anymore. The price of believing him was too great, and she realized that she couldn’t afford it.
“Zhan Haoze.” She should be happy to say such a promise at a time like this, but she really couldn’t be happy.
“Do you know?” She looked at her fingertips. Her lowered eyes couldn’t see her current expression. “I can’t believe your promise now.”
“You might not know, but I’m very tired when I’m with you. I often wonder if I did something wrong. I often wonder, what are you doing in a place I don’t know about? Are those things dangerous?”
“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan finally looked up at him and met his gaze. “I’m too tired when I’m with you. I don’t want to be tired anymore.”
As she spoke, she pushed open the car door and got out. She turned around and went into the apartment.
Zhan Haoze followed her out of the car and waved his hand. Although the person in the lead disagreed, the five cars drove off together.
Zhan Haoze slowed down and followed behind Shi Mengwan.
Shi Mengwan quickened her steps, and Zhan Haoze followed behind her. When she reached the elevator, she wanted to tell him to stop following her, but this wasn’t her home, so she endured it.
Zhan Haoze seemed to be completely oblivious to the disgust in her eyes, and just followed behind her.
They entered the elevator and went upstairs. Shi Mengwan was silent all the way, so he followed her.
Until she stood at the door, Shi Mengwan finally couldn’t help but turn around and glare at him.
“Mr. Zhan, don’t you have somewhere to go?”
Shi Mengwan’s tone wasn’t very pleasant. “I believe that with your current status, you should have your own place in Lin City, right? Even if you don’t have it, I believe that Miss Chen would be happy to take you in, so I really don’t understand why you’ve been following me.”
Zhan Haoze looked at the anger on her face. This was her, right? Lively and full of anger.
An almost imperceptible smile flashed through his eyes. He moved his body forward and placed a hand on the door behind her.
“I do have a place to stay.” His face was almost touching hers. His voice was low and filled with seductive undertones. “But, I just want to be by your side.”
This person’s words of love were really deadly. Shi Mengwan’s body was already tightly pressed against the door behind her.
A man’s lust would mislead people. This was true. The Zhan Haoze in front of her could be considered a male version of Daji.
Shi Mengwan had never thought that she would hear Zhan Haoze’s confession like this one day. Looking at his face, she was a little confused.
“You –”
Before she could finish her sentence, the door behind her opened. Shi Mengwan was stunned when she almost fell backward. As soon as she steadied herself, she remembered that her bag was still in the car, so she didn’t bring her keys.
Then —
She looked down and saw Zhan Haoze open the door with the keys. Her lips opened and closed, then opened and closed again. “You –”
Didn’t she ask him to return the key to her? Why does he still have it?
When Zhan Haoze opened the door, he used his other hand to hold her waist. He brought her in and closed the door behind him.
“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan stretched out her hand. “Return the key.”
“Wanwan.” Zhan Haoze picked her up and hugged her tightly. “I missed you so much.”
“…” He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “Don’t you miss me?”
“Who wants to miss you?” Shi Mengwan pulled his hand, but Zhan Haoze held her hand behind his back. “You didn’t miss me?”
“I didn’t.”
Zhan Haoze kissed her on the lips. “Do you miss me?”
“Who would miss you? Get out of the way.”
Zhan Haoze took another hit. “Do you miss me?”
“I said, don’t want to, don’t want to, don’t want to. Zhan Haoze, stop fooling around. I really don’t want to miss you.”
Her voice was raised by one degree, and her face was flushed with anger. Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly carried her in his arms.
“You –”
“Since you said you don’t want to, then it proves that I did too little before. It seems that I have to do something to make you remember it often.”
