However, when she thought about the possibility that Zhan Haoze was telling the truth, her heart started pounding.

Su Qingsang was married and now had a child. Even though she used to have an aloof personality… She had changed a lot over time.

She saw the seriousness in Zhan Haoze’s eyes and stood up. “I’m sorry, Mr. Zhan. I have a few things to say to Wanwan.”

“Mrs. Huo, if you have something to say, you can say it directly. Wanwan is thin-skinned, I’m afraid she’ll be shy.”

Su Qingsang almost choked on her own saliva. Shi Mengwan is thin-skinned?

When the two of them were together in the past, which one of them would say perverted things out of the blue? Now, Zhan Haoze told her that Shi Mengwan was thin-skinned?

The corners of her mouth twitched as she glanced at Shi Mengwan. Shi Mengwan was a little embarrassed. She glared at Zhan Haoze.

“Qingsang, I’ll tell you later.”

“Wait a minute.” Su Qingsang pulled her body to her side and whispered into her ear, “What’s going on with you guys?”

“Don’t ask.” Shi Mengwan was embarrassed and said, “I’ll tell you in detail later.”

“Sure.” Today was a big day for the twins, so it wasn’t convenient for her to pester Shi Mengwan. However, she said, “If he forced you, you can tell me. I’ll let Huo Jinyao deal with him.”

Su Qingsang said this in a low voice, but Zhan Haoze heard her clearly.

“Qingsang.” Shi Mengwan’s expression was a little strange. Su Qingsang patted her hand and stood up like Shi Mengwan’s family member while looking at Zhan Haoze.

“President Zhan seems to have a fiancée?”

“Yes.” Although Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei had never been officially engaged, everyone in Lin City knew. “We have already broken off the engagement.”

“Really?” Su Qingsang raised her eyebrows. “Why haven’t I heard about it?”

How could something as sensational as the annulment of the engagement be brushed over so easily?

“Both parties have made a private agreement, but they haven’t announced it yet.”

“If they haven’t announced it, it means that President Zhan still has a fiancée.” Su Qingsang didn’t speak very politely. “Since that’s the case, how can you claim that you’re Wanwan’s boyfriend? What are you doing to Wanwan?”

“Qingsang.” Shi Mengwan didn’t want Su Qingsang and Zhan Haoze to have a conflict now. “Stop talking.”

“How can I not talk? There are some things that need to be clarified.” Su Qingsang was extremely protective. “How can you believe him just because he put in a few good words?”

“Mrs. Huo, my engagement with Chen Feifei has long been canceled. This matter will be made public after I ask her. As for me and Wanwan, my feelings for Wanwan are naturally serious. Don’t worry, I won’t mistreat her.”

“Anyone can put in a good word. There are only a few who can do it.”

Su Qingsang really wasn’t deliberately targeting Zhan Haoze, but this man had a bad record. If he wasn’t with Shi Mengwan, no matter how many women he was involved with, it had nothing to do with her.

However, her friendship with Shi Mengwan made things different, so she naturally couldn’t stand to see her good friend being bullied.

“I don’t know how to put in a good word, but I think I can prove it with my actions.”

Zhan Haoze’s hand was still holding Shi Mengwan’s hand. Shi Mengwan turned to look at him because of his words. His overly sincere gaze made her feel moved for a moment.

Su Qingsang wanted to say something, but someone else just had to come.

The Huo family had many relatives, and they had many friends in the business world. As Huo Jinyao’s wife, there were naturally many people who came to get close to her.

Su Qingsang didn’t have the time to pay attention to Shi Mengwan, so she gave her a look, indicating for her to talk to her later.

However, a little later, Shi Mengwan was taken away by Zhan Haoze.

Zhan Haoze didn’t like this kind of occasion. After bringing Shi Mengwan to the public, he stayed for a while, then left with her.

The hotel that Zhan Haoze booked was in the presidential suite upstairs from the banquet. He brought Shi Mengwan directly upstairs.

Shi Mengwan actually hadn’t recovered from Zhan Haoze’s action of revealing her identity just now. It wasn’t until she was brought upstairs that Zhan Haoze kissed her lips.

When he kissed her, he didn’t forget to take off her red coat, and the sleeveless dress underneath was revealed.

He held her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He had wanted to do this when they were in the men’s washroom just now.

Shi Mengwan gradually came back to her senses as he kissed her.

Just as he was about to continue, she grabbed his hand. Zhan Haoze stopped moving and pressed his forehead against hers.

“Wanwan…”

His cold breath brushed past her face and she almost fell into his bewitching array.

She blinked and pressed her hands against his chest to calm herself down.

“Zhan Haoze, you said that you broke off the engagement with Chen Feifei?”

“Yes.”

“But you didn’t make it public?”

“Yes.”

“So, Chen Feifei also tacitly agreed to this statement?”

What did he mean?

“What I mean is that you unilaterally want to break off the engagement with her, and does she also agree?”

“Of course, she also agreed.”

He said it seriously, but Shi Mengwan didn’t quite believe him. This matter had always been a thorn in her heart. She couldn’t trust him so easily.

Zhan Haoze saw that she didn’t speak, so he lowered his head and wanted to kiss her again.

Shi Mengwan didn’t give him a chance. She stubbornly pressed her hand against his chest. “If that’s the case, then we’ll wait for the news of the annulment before we get together.”

Zhan Haoze looked at the determination on her face and felt a headache. “You don’t believe me?”

“I can’t find a reason to believe you.”

Shi Mengwan bit her lip and looked at Zhan Haoze. Her eyes were clear, but there was a hint of sadness in them. “Zhan Haoze, I’ve believed you, time and time again. I don’t want to believe you now.”

Zhan Haoze looked at the anger on her face. “So what do you mean now?”

“Nothing.” Shi Mengwan waved his hand away. “When can you get Chen Feifei to come out publicly and admit to breaking off the engagement? Why would I consider getting back together with you?”

She used the word ‘consider’. Even if Zhan Haoze had revealed his identity now, after calming down, she had to think about more aspects.

Where was this? This was Rong City. It would take a few hours to even get to Qing City, not to mention it was thousands of miles away from Lin City.

Zhan Haoze had revealed their relationship in Rong City. On the surface, it looked like he was finally willing to give her an open and aboveboard identity. But what was the truth?

After returning to Lin City, he could still continue to be Chen Feifei’s fiancé. And as long as the engagement wasn’t broken off, she would still be a shameful mistress that couldn’t be seen in the light.

She was calm enough now, and also rational enough. She didn’t want to believe Zhan Haoze’s words anymore.

Even if Zhan Haoze, who had brought her to the public in that moment, had moved her heart so much that she wished she could throw away everything and just follow him.

But that was all. She wouldn’t believe him anymore.

Her heart was already cold.

Her expression was resolute. In that instant, Zhan Haoze understood that what she said was true.

“Wanwan –”

“It’s getting late. I’ll go downstairs first.” Shi Mengwan pulled away from his embrace and lowered her head to pick up the small coat on the ground. “…”

“Wanwan, don’t go.” He went to pull her hand. It had been a while since they last saw each other, so he didn’t believe that she didn’t miss him.

“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan gently pulled his hand away. “You know what I want. If you can’t give it to me, don’t come looking for me again.”

After saying that, Shi Mengwan left without looking back.

… … ..

Chen Feifei looked at Zhan Haoze in front of her. After not seeing him for a few months, he seemed to be different again.

However, she was really not in the mood to care about Zhan Haoze now.

“Brother Hao, you came back at the right time. I’m in trouble.”

“What?” Zhan Haoze was about to say that the Chen Corporation had been on the right track recently, and wanted to ask Chen Feifei to publicly cancel the engagement with him.

However, her words made him pause for a moment. No matter what the reason was, when Chen Feifei was in trouble, he would help her.

“Chen Jie’s mother is here.”

Zhan Haoze froze for a few seconds before he remembered who Chen Jie was. That was Chen Yongchang’s illegitimate child outside. He was now resting in a small town in Canada with Chen Yongchang.

“His mother?”

After Zhan Haoze found out about Chen Jie, he specially looked up his mother’s information. According to the information, after Chen Jie was born, she took care of him for a period of time. Later, for some unknown reason, she left on her own.

As for where she went, the information didn’t specify. At that time, Zhan Haoze didn’t care about that. Therefore, he didn’t continue to investigate.
