The unfamiliar environment in front of her wasn’t that of her apartment.

Shi Mengwan felt a headache coming on. She sat up and looked at the environment in front of her.

This room was very big. It was almost as big as her small apartment. Other than the bed, there was also a sofa and an imperial consort’s chair on the other side.

Near the balcony, there were elegant and simple beige curtains. The whole style was European Court style, but not very popular.

She got out of bed and found that it wasn’t her shoes by the bed, but a pair of extremely comfortable indoor slippers. She put them on and walked toward the balcony. When she pulled open the curtains, she was almost shocked.

The huge artificial lake was right in front of her, and the green in front of her was like a park, but it was much more elegant than a park.

She looked to the side and saw all the villas. She frowned. She was friends with Su Qingsang, and sometimes she would attend some clients’ dinner parties. She had a certain understanding of some famous villas in Lin City.

But this neighborhood in front of her was very unfamiliar to her.

She stood for a while and remembered that the last person she saw was Zhan Haoze. She was about to call Zhan Haoze. However, Zhan Haoze happened to be standing at the door.

“Where am I? Why am I here?” How did he bring her here?

No, how did she appear here without realizing anything?

“My home.” Zhan Haoze walked towards her. The morning light shone from the balcony. The person in front of her was tall and handsome.

Shi Mengwan almost lost her footing when she heard the next sentence. “This is my home in Qing City.”

Shi Mengwan staggered and almost lost her balance. Zhan Haoze quickly supported her at that moment.

Shi Mengwan, who had just woken up, didn’t have much energy to resist him. Her lips moved and a gloomy look flashed across her eyes.

“You, who agreed to you? Who promised you that I would come to Qing City?”

Zhan Haoze saw the anger on her face. He didn’t understand why she was so angry.

“I told you that I wanted to bring you to Qing City.”

Shi Mengwan was so angry that she almost laughed. “You said you wanted me to come, so I had to come?”

Wanting to walk out, she threw this sentence and walked past Zhan Haoze. Her arm was grabbed by Zhan Haoze.

“You’re angry? Why?”

“Why? Do you think I can’t be angry? Do you think I have no reason to be angry if you brought me to another city and another place without my consent?”

Zhan Haoze was stunned for a moment. Looking at the anger on Shi Mengwan’s face, he nodded, which was rare. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not getting your consent. However, I still have things to settle here, but I wanted to be with you, so I used this wrong method.”

His attitude was a little humble. Shi Mengwan was really not used to Zhan Haoze like this.

In the past, she would have wanted to question him, but today, she was too lazy to even question him.

“I accept your apology, so can I leave now?”

Zhan Haoze didn’t expect Shi Mengwan to have such a reaction. In the moment that his mind flashed. Shi Mengwan was already walking out. When she reached the door, he wanted to chase after her.

Shi Mengwan suddenly stopped and turned back.

“Where’s my bag? And my car.”

“My bag is downstairs. I asked someone to park your car downstairs.”

Shi Mengwan didn’t ask any more questions after hearing that. She turned around and continued to walk out. Zhan Haoze followed behind her.

Shi Mengwan took a few steps and realized that there was no way out. She turned around and looked at Zhan Haoze who was following behind her. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she saw a subtle smile in his eyes.

“The stairs are over here.”

Zhan Haoze explained very kindly. Shi Mengwan snorted and walked past him in the opposite direction.

She was full of anger. Zhan Haoze decided not to tell her that the place she had walked to was actually an elevator. She just needed to press the button on the side and the elevator would come up. Instead, he chose to follow behind her.

Shi Mengwan was wearing cotton slippers, so she naturally couldn’t walk fast. She didn’t know if she had turned on the air conditioner, but the warm wind in this season made her feel a little hot.

The stairs were indeed on the other side. After going downstairs, she wasn’t in the mood to appreciate the decorations here. After looking around, she saw her bag on the sofa. She went forward to pick it up and continued to walk outside.

After taking two steps, she realized that the shoes on her feet weren’t right. She had to turn around to look at Zhan Haoze.

“Where are my shoes?”

“They’re in the shoe cabinet at the entrance.”

Zhan Haoze said. Shi Mengwan nodded and went forward to open the shoe cabinet. Sure enough, she found her shoes. She put them on and reached out to open the door.

The moment the door opened, a cold wind blew against her face, causing Shi Mengwan to quickly and instinctively close the door.

She turned around and looked at Zhan Haoze. “Is Qing City in the north?”

She had always heard him say that he wanted her to accompany him back to Qing City, but she had never paid attention to where Qing City was.

She looked at herself. Before she left the house yesterday, she had taken a thin wool coat, but now that she had just woken up, she didn’t know where the coat was. She was only wearing a thin sweater, so she was really cold now.

She glared at Zhan Haoze and gritted her teeth for some reason. “Mr. Zhan, can I ask, how did I get in here yesterday?”

Zhan Haoze looked at the anger on her face and didn’t seem to mind. “I carried you in. You slept a little soundly. When I got out of the car, I covered you with a blanket.”

Of course, he wouldn’t say that he got into the car right after he got off the plane. The car was heated and they came directly from the underground garage when they arrived, so it was normal for her not to feel cold.

Shi Mengwan nodded. Her expression was very conflicted, but also a little angry. “Good, very good. Very good.”

Under such circumstances, if she didn’t want to get sick from the cold, she had to ask Zhan Haoze.

“You don’t have to leave in a hurry. There are many fun places in Qing City. You can play for two days before you leave.”

“Is this considered a forced sale?”

Shi Mengwan was furious. Zhan Haoze put his arm around her waist. “This is a sincere invitation.”

Shi Mengwan raised her foot and was about to step on his instep. However, she was wearing cotton slippers. No matter how hard she tried, it didn’t cause any harm to Zhan Haoze’s foot.

Not wanting to talk to him, she was angry and turned around.

However, her stomach called out unwillingly at this time. Shi Mengwan’s face immediately turned red.

“Let’s go. Let’s eat.”

Zhan Haoze brought her to the dining hall. Previously, Shi Mengwan was so focused on leaving that she didn’t even notice that there was someone else in the house.

After entering the dining hall, she realized that not only was the room big, but the dining hall was also big.

There was a long white dining table with a lot of exquisite food placed in the middle. It was placed on an exquisite plate.

Zhan Haoze held Shi Mengwan’s hand and sat down at one end of the dining table.

“Qing City has some pretty good attraction places. After dinner, we can –”

“Didn’t you say that you have a lot of business to deal with?” Shi Mengwan’s expression was a little cold. “Since that’s the case, you can go deal with business first.”

Zhan Haoze wasn’t angry after being rejected by her. He wanted to explain that he could free up a day, but Tang Hua rushed in from outside.

When he saw that Shi Mengwan was also there, he swallowed the words that he wanted to say.

“Chief Zhan, Miss Shi.”

Shi Mengwan knew Tang Hua. This person had been with Zhan Haoze for God knows how long. She nodded as a greeting and watched Zhan Haoze get up.

“You eat first. I have something to do here. I’ll bring you to play in the afternoon.”

Shi Mengwan didn’t mind since she could go out. Now she was so happy that she couldn’t see Zhan Haoze.

Zhan Haoze only finished his work in the evening.

Shi Mengwan didn’t mind. She was thinking about some problems. For example, how should she leave this place? How should she tell Zhan Haoze everything.

Before she could think clearly, Zhan Haoze had finished his work.

The sky gradually darkened. When Zhan Haoze appeared in front of Shi Mengwan again, Shi Mengwan had just finished scrolling through her Wechat moments.
