Zhan haoze looked at the door of the lounge and then at Chen Feifei.
Chen Feifei had lost control of her emotions.
“Brother Hao, I like you. I just like you. I love you.”
She wanted to kiss his lips again, but he reached out and pulled her away again.
“Feifei, calm down.”
“I am very calm.”Chen Feifei held Zhan Haoze’s face with both hands. “I am your fiancée, but why can’t you see me in your eyes? Why?”
“Brother Hao.”She couldn’t kiss him, and he wouldn’t let her kiss him either. Chen Feifei was in despair.
She reached out and grabbed his front lapel. The hurt look on her face and the tears in her eyes made her look even more pitiful. “I really love you, brother Hao. Can’t you love me?”
“You love me, okay?”
“…” Zhan Haoze looked at Chen Feifei’s face and finally lost his patience. When she was pestering him again, he pressed the intercom.
Soon, Tang Hua appeared.
“Ah-Hua, Feifei isn’t feeling well today. Send her home.”
“Brother Hao.” Chen Feifei hooked her arm around Zhan Haoze’s neck and refused to let go. “I’m not feeling unwell. I don’t want to go home. You know what I mean. Don’t think of chasing me away just like that.”
Zhan Haoze didn’t want to talk more with her. He waved his hand. Tang Hua understood and went forward to hold Chen Feifei’s hand.
“Miss Chen, President Zhan has a meeting later. You Don’t want others to see you like this, do you?”
Chen Feifei stood there without moving. Tang Hua wouldn’t really act recklessly. After all, this was the pearl of Chen Yongchang.
“Miss Chen, don’t make things difficult for President Zhan, right?”
Zhan Haoze looked at Chen Feifei and said expressionlessly, “Feifei, you can go back first.”
Chen Feifei bit her lip. She felt that her dignity had been thrown to the ground. She looked at Zhan Haoze and sniffed, she forced herself not to cry. “Okay, you don’t want to see me. If you have something to do later, I’ll leave. But you have to go home to eat with me today. Otherwise, I won’t leave today.”
Zhan Haoze’s brows were tightly knitted together. From the corner of his eyes, he looked in the direction of the lounge without leaving a trace. Finally, he nodded.
He agreed, and Chen Feifei finally felt that she wasn’t so embarrassed anymore. She took a step forward and stood in front of Zhan Haoze.
“Brother Hao, I really like you. I promise you, I will work hard for you and become a better version of myself. But before that, you are not allowed to like other women. Do You Hear Me?”
After she said that, she tiptoed and kissed Zhan Haoze on the cheek. Zhan Haoze’s hands that were hanging by his side were clenched into fists as he looked at Tang Hua.
Chen Feifei turned around and walked past Tang Hua. “I don’t need you to send me off. I will go back by myself.”
“Brother Hao, I will wait for you.”
Tang Hua breathed a sigh of relief when Chen Feifei left. He could roughly guess what was going on at the moment, so he looked at the rest room.
Then he looked at Zhan Haoze. He was glad that the person inside wasn’t acting like Chen Feifei, or else there would be a good show to watch.
After Tang Hua left, the office quieted down.
Zhan Haoze walked to the door of the lounge. Just as he was about to open the door, the door opened first. Shi Mengwan stood at the door for an unknown amount of time.
She didn’t look at him. She walked past him and was about to walk out.
Zhan Haoze stopped her. “Where are you going?”
Shi Mengwan looked at him and realized something. It was a mistake for her to come looking for Zhan Haoze today. No, it wasn’t just today.
Every entanglement between her and him was a mistake.
She walked past him from the other side. Zhan Haoze grabbed her hand. “Where are you going?”
“Home.” There was no need for Shi Mengwan to stay. “Can’t I?”
Her appearance inexplicably made Zhan Haoze panic. He didn’t want her to leave just like that. “Aren’t you going to s Province?”
“Will you help me go?” Shi Mengwan stared straight at his face. She believed that he wouldn’t let her go to s province at all.
Zhan Haoze was silent. Indeed, he wouldn’t let her go.
Shi Mengwan already knew that he wouldn’t let her go. He was just hanging on to her.
“Wanwan.”
“Zhan Haoze.” Forcing herself not to sink into his deep eyes, Shi Mengwan met his eyes and bit the tip of her tongue hard.
“I won’t look for you in the future. I won’t see you again. You already have Chen Feifei. So, please don’t look for me.”
Her footsteps were firm and Zhan Haoze’s heart shook. He felt like he was going to lose Shi Mengwan.
He hugged her from behind and hugged her tightly. “Don’t go.”
Shi Mengwan paused for a moment before she pulled Zhan Haoze’s fingers apart one by one.
“Zhan Haoze, don’t be like this.”
“Wanwan, give me time –”
“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan suddenly raised her voice and struggled out of his embrace. She stood in front of him and stared at his face with a burning gaze. “Give you time? Tell me, how much time do I have to give you? A month? Half a year? A year?”
“…”
“How long do you mean? How long do I have to wait before I can stand in front of you openly? Can you answer me?”
She thought of Chen Feifei, who she couldn’t help but see through a crack in the door. She was not as proud and confident as when she went to her studio.
Chen Feifei was a woman who was trapped by love. What about her? How much better was she compared to Chen Feifei?
For the sake of Zhan Haoze. They both had no dignity and no bottom line.
Zhan Haoze was silent. His expression was very grave. His lips moved, but he didn’t say a word.
Shi Mengwan already knew this was the result. “You can’t answer. You can’t answer at all. So that’s it. Zhan Haoze. I don’t want to look like I have no dignity, and I don’t want to become a lowly woman for the sake of love. If you still have a shred of pity for me, please let me go.”
The coldness and determination in her eyes made Zhan Haoze’s eyes flash with gloom and ambivalence. He raised his hand and finally lowered it into a tight fist.
“Wanwan, I actually –”
“Goodbye.”
Shi Mengwan turned around and left. Every step she took was firm.
The moment the door opened, she heard Zhan Haoze finally speak from behind her.
“Don’t go to Province S. It’s really not safe.”
Shi Mengwan didn’t stop walking, as if she didn’t hear him, and she left just like that.
She left. Zhan Haoze pounded on the wall beside him. Tang Hua soon came in again.
“Boss?”
He looked at Zhan Haoze worriedly. Zhan Haoze’s back was facing him as he was looking at the blue sky outside.
After a while, he heard Zhan Haoze’s voice, “Make the arrangements to go to Qing City tomorrow.”
Tang Hua didn’t ask further, “Yes, I’ll make the arrangements now.”
..
Shi Mengwan didn’t go to S Province after all. The disaster relief was at its most critical moment, so how could she go there so easily?
She went to the Li family’s villa a few times, and Li Qianxue was extremely worried. However, she knew that she would only add to the chaos if she went. At the critical moment, she could only force herself to calm down.
Fortunately, after waiting for two days, she finally received news that Su Qingsang was fine. Only then did Shi Mengwan feel completely relieved.
Su Qingsang knew that her family in Lin City would be worried about her, so she called them one by one to tell them that she was safe. She also told them that Huo Jinyao was taking care of her now.
Shi Mengwan knew about Huo Jinyao’s abilities. With him around, she believed that she could worry less.
After she was relieved, she heard that Su Qingsang actually chose to stay in the disaster area as a volunteer doctor. Even Huo Jinyao stayed behind.
She sighed in her heart. She really admired Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao.
She couldn’t do anything else. After thinking about it, she donated a sum of money to the disaster area. It could be considered as doing something for herself.
Almost a month later, Su Qingsang finally returned from the disaster area. Although she could contact her these days, Shi Mengwan had never been relieved.
Fortunately, she had returned safely.
Su Qingsang didn’t stay in Lin City for long. She stayed for a few days before returning to Rong City.
She could tell that Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao seemed to have become closer after this incident.
They had decided to get married out of the blue. Shi Mengwan had been worried that Su Qingsang wouldn’t be able to live well for a long period of time. Looking at it now, she was relieved.
She couldn’t help but think of herself again. Zhan Haoze seemed to have lost contact with her for more than a month.
She was relieved when he didn’t come. But she couldn’t hide the disappointment in her heart.
She was the one who broke up with him, and she was also the one who said that they wouldn’t see each other anymore. It was actually very good for her to be like this now.
Shi Mengwan told herself that she would forget it eventually if she was given some time. Even though she knew very well in her heart that it was very difficult to do so.
More than a month had passed, and Shi Mengwan’s studio welcomed another old acquaintance today.
Chen Feifei.
She looked very different from the last time they met. She still had her long hair flowing down her back, but she was no longer wearing a dress. Instead, she was wearing a professional suit.
She looked more mature and less naive.
“Miss Chen. Good afternoon.”
When Shi Mengwan saw Chen Feifei like this, she felt a little emotional. Love could change a woman.
“Miss Chen, you look good.”
“Really? Thank you.” Chen Feifei was in a good mood today. “I’m starting work. I just realized that it’s quite fun to go to work.”
Shi Mengwan didn’t reply, and Chen Feifei didn’t need her to. “Help me pick out a dress. I’m going to attend a party tonight.”
“Okay.” Shi Mengwan nodded and brought Chen Feifei to the dress area. On the outermost display was First Love, which had won first place in the competition.
“It’s so beautiful.” Chen Feifei looked at the dress. “This one.”
Shi Mengwan froze for a moment. As this set of clothes was for the competition, she had worn it the last time after attending Dickson’s banquet.
She had someone dry-clean it and hung it there as a sample.
“There are two more pieces in this series. Miss Chen, why don’t you pick another one? After all, this set is here as a sample.”
“Can’t you sell it as a sample?” Chen Feifei liked this set. “I think this one looks good. I’ll take this one.”
“But –” Shi Mengwan was a little conflicted. She remembered that she had danced with Zhan Haoze in this dress, so she didn’t really want to sell it.
“There’s no buts. I’ll pay double. You can at least sell it to me, right?”
