Chapter 642: One Wall Apart

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang’s gazes fell on Zhan Haoze.

Zhan Haoze’s expression was rather calm. “My girlfriend isn’t feeling well today. I’ll go take a look. Excuse me.”

“Go ahead.” Huo Jinyao looked at Zhan Haoze with a meaningful gaze.

The shop assistant didn’t stop him. Zhan Haoze glanced at Su Qingsang and entered the fitting room.

Su Qingsang felt that Zhan Haoze’s reaction today was a little strange. However, she wasn’t familiar with Zhan Haoze, so she didn’t know whether it was because he was like this or it was because he saw them.

At the same time, another customer came out of the other room. Su Qingsang picked up the clothes and glanced at Huo Jinyao. She smiled at him and went in to try on the clothes.

Huo Jinyao looked at her dotingly. He signaled her to hurry up and change. He was also looking forward to how she would look in these ethnic clothes.

In another fitting room across the wall, Shi Mengwan was already dressed in her ethnic clothes. However, she leaned against the wall and didn’t have the courage to walk out.

She never expected to encounter Su Qingsang after she was forced by Zhan Haoze to go to the night market in ancient city because she was in a bad mood.

Moreover, it was such a coincidence that they entered the same shop.

Yes, she was a fashion designer, and Su Qingsang was her best friend. The two of them had a lot in common in certain aspects.

For example, they liked to eat and go to places. This included their favorite style of clothing.

She was a fashion designer, and such a shop could give her the most inspiration, but at the same time, if Su Qingsang, passed by such a shop in Qing City, she would definitely come in and take a look.

She only heard Su Qingsang’s voice after she had changed her clothes. She had already planned to leave, so she could only stay in the fitting room.

Her heart was in her throat when she heard Zhan Haoze say that he wanted to come over and take a look. However, when Zhan Haoze knocked on the door, she had no choice but to open the door and let him in.

Her body was almost completely hidden behind the door. The narrow door couldn’t cover her at all. She looked inside the wall. Even though she knew that Su Qingsang was in the fitting room next door, she was afraid that Huo Jinyao would see her.

Zhan Haoze entered the room and saw that Shi Mengwan’s face was very pale.

She didn’t even dare to make a sound. After all, the soundproofing here was very poor. Next to her was Su Qingsang. She looked at Zhan Haoze with panic, anxiety, and embarrassment in her eyes.

Even though her best friend was next door, she didn’t have the courage to let Su Qingsang know that she had become a mistress, a mistress that she disdained, but ultimately was.

Zhan Haoze took a step forward and said softly, “Are you okay?”

How could Shi Mengwan make a sound? She bit her lip and glared at Zhan Haoze hatefully. This man in front of her had caused her to fall into such a situation.

The resentment in her eyes was so obvious. Zhan Haoze curled his lips and his gaze swept across Shi Mengwan.

She had chosen a Uyghur costume. The bright red color contrasted with her snow-white skin. Her looks were very gorgeous, but she wasn’t the femme fatale type.

With this set of clothes, she really had the aura of a Uyghur girl. Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes slightly and took a step forward.

Shi Mengwan instinctively took a step back. There was a wall behind her, so she had no way to retreat.

Zhan Haoze approached her, tilted his head, and kissed her lips.

Shi Mengwan’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe that he dared to do such a thing to her in the fitting room.

She reached out to push him, but he bit her lips. His lips turned to the right, turned to her ear, and bit her earlobe.

“Are you afraid of being heard?”

He spoke in a soft voice that only they could hear.

However, Shi Mengwan always had the fear that she would be discovered. She admitted defeat and hoping that he would stop, she looked at Zhan Haoze.

“Tell me, if I do you here, what would you do?”

His hot breath made her neck burn, but his words made her heart turn cold. She didn’t even dare to make a sound. She could only stare at him with her eyes wide open, as if he had gone mad.

Zhan Haoze didn’t look at her frightened expression. His big hand gently followed the line on her back and finally landed on her waist.

“You look very beautiful in this outfit.”

He wasn’t stingy with his praise, but Shi Mengwan wasn’t happy at all. She raised her hand to push Zhan Haoze away.

Her hands were restrained by him behind her back.

“Are you afraid?”

Shi Mengwan was almost about to cry. This man was a thug.

“Enough.” She didn’t dare to say anything and could only speak silently. Her eyes were full of blame.

Zhan Haoze saw the anxiety in her eyes and his hand went down again. He pressed down lightly on her waist and pulled her body into his embrace.

“If you don’t want me to have you here, then beg me.”

Scoundrel. Shi Mengwan refused, but Zhan Haoze actually reached his hand down to the hem of her clothes in the next second.

“I beg you.” Shi Mengwan sucked in a cold breath. She was really afraid of him, afraid that he was serious.

She didn’t forget the dramatic change-of-clothes incident last year. She absolutely, absolutely didn’t want to become the female lead of such an incident.

“Your begging really has no sincerity at all.”

Zhan Haoze switched sides and kissed her neck. Like a vampire, he gently bit her neck. After he let go, he bit her heavily again. She felt slight pain on her neck.

She didn’t even dare to scream. She could only push him. He was unmoved. She stubbornly resisted.

In the end, he stepped back and touched the red mark with his finger. His eyes were deep as he whispered into her forehead.

“If you listen to me tonight, I’ll let you go. How about it?”

Shi Mengwan pursed her lips into a straight line. At this time, what could she say? What could she do?

She couldn’t resist. This man was a lunatic. She was really afraid that she would have a change-of-clothes incident. She could only nod.

The moment she nodded lightly, she felt her eyes become sore and swollen. A slightly bitter feeling welled up in her heart.

He didn’t respect her at all. What did he take her for?

How could he treat her with such a bad attitude in such an occasion and place?

Zhan Haoze looked at her reddened eyes and suddenly leaned over. He pressed her body against the wall and kissed her lips crazily.

“…”Shi Mengwan wanted to scream, but she couldn’t. She didn’t dare to.

She looked at Zhan Haoze. He was clearly her big brother. How could he treat her like this?

She still remembered that her big brother always thought of her and protected her no matter what.

Why did things turn out like this?

She reached out her hand to push him. She was afraid that if he really gave her a change-of-clothes situation, she would definitely go crazy.

However, she couldn’t overpower him at all. He kissed her lips almost savagely. Her lips were red and swollen from the aggresive kiss.

She couldn’t escape. She couldn’t help but shed a tear from the corner of her eye.

Zhan Haoze stopped and looked at her watery eyes. That aggrieved look made his heart tremble.

His lips moved upwards and kissed away her tear. This kiss was much gentler than before.

The kiss landed on her lips again. She tossed and turned. It was extremely lingering.

Shi Mengwan couldn’t sink into it. She only felt nervous and afraid. Zhan Haoze probably felt bored.

He finally backed off and let her go. Shi Mengwan’s legs went soft and she looked like she was about to fall to the ground. She was easily hugged by him and her body was supported.

“Please.”

Shi Mengwan believed that he could understand her silent pleas. She didn’t want this, but the situation was out of her control.

Ever since she got entangled with Zhan Haoze, she had discovered his overbearing nature, as well as his ruthless and malicious side.

Zhan Haoze looked at her deeply and lifted her up.

“Zhan –” Shi Mengwan stopped talking after saying one word. She was extremely terrified. What was he trying to do?

She lowered her voice so that no one could hear her. She had no choice but to move her lips close to his ear and speak in a suppressed voice.

“Zhan Haoze, what do you want?”

If he dared to carry her out like this, she would definitely fight him to the death. She would definitely.

“What are you nervous about?” Zhan Haoze stared at her pale face and swept his gaze across her long dress. “Remember, you owe me one more time.”

As he spoke, he lifted his leg to slightly stabilize her body. Then, with one hand, he pulled the clothes that she had changed out of off the hook and covered her head.

Shi Mengwan could no longer see outside. Only then did Zhan Haoze pick her up again. He opened the door and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he met Huo Jinyao’s gaze. Zhan Haoze paused for a moment.

He was holding a person in his arms. The hand that was placed on Shi Mengwan pressed down on the corner of her clothes. This action was very subtle, but Huo Jinyao saw it.

“President Zhan, this is…”

“President Huo, please excuse me. My girlfriend isn’t feeling well. I’ll take her back first.”

“Do you need help?” Huo Jinyao looked very compassionate. “My driver is outside. If President Zhan needs help, I can ask him to send you to the hospital first.”

“No need to trouble you. I drove here.”

Zhan Haoze’s voice was indifferent. As he spoke, he glanced outside the shop. Immediately, his bodyguards followed him in and paid the money.

Zhan Haoze only nodded at Huo Jinyao slightly, then carried Shi Mengwan and left.

From the beginning to the end, Shi Mengwan’s upper body was covered by clothes. Not only was her face concealed, but her figure was also half covered.

The only thing that could be clearly seen was the elegant red skirt, as well as those slender ankles. It could be seen that the woman Zhan Haoze was carrying was relatively slim.

Zhan Haoze walked to the entrance of the shop. From Huo Jinyao’s angle of view, he could see that the woman’s hands were tightly wrapped around Zhan Haoze’s neck. She was also buried in Zhan Haoze’s arms and covered by his clothes. Not even her hair was exposed.

Huo Jinyao couldn’t tell much about the woman, but from beginning to end, Zhan Haoze’s protectiveness towards the woman could be clearly seen.

Huo Jinyao pursed his lips slightly. He didn’t have much contact with Zhan Haoze. They had worked together twice in Lin City. They had also met a few times in Qing City.

Whether it was Tianyu Group, the Zhan family, or the Chen family in Lin City, they had all worked together.

In his memory, he had met Zhan Haoze several times. When he was with Chen Feifei, he seemed to have never seen Zhan Haoze so careful and attentive.

No matter who that woman was, he really wanted to see who could make Zhan Haoze so nervous.

Zhan Haoze had already stepped out of the shop, and Su Qingsang came out after changing her clothes.

Coincidentally, the clothes she chose were the same type of clothes that Shi Mengwan was wearing just now. However, Shi Mengwan was wearing red, and Su Qingsang was wearing yellow.

As soon as she came out, she glanced at the door. Out of the corner of her eye, she only managed to catch a glimpse of the red skirt that had disappeared outside the door. “He left?”

She had heard it from inside earlier. When she met Huo Jinyao’s affirmative expression, she asked curiously.

“That woman left too?” She was really embarrassed. She seemed to have heard something from next door.

There was nothing she could do. The shop wasn’t big to begin with, and it was impossible for it to be soundproofed.

The thought of Zhan Haoze and that woman doing something perverted next door made her feel a little uneasy.

“Mhm.”

“What does she look like? Is she prettier than Chen Feifei?”

She really didn’t mean to be so nosy. She just wanted to find out more and tell Shi Mengwan about the situation so that she could give up hope earlier.

“I didn’t see her.” Huo Jinyao didn’t care about Zhan Haoze, nor did he care about what kind of woman Zhan Haoze had.

He looked at Su Qingsang with admiration in his eyes. Su Qingsang also realized that she was too nosy. She shrugged and turned the page on Zhan Haoze.

He already had other women, and there was more than one. She believed that he and Shi Mengwan were impossible.

She was shopping with Huo Jinyao today, so she didn’t want to ruin her mood because of others.

“Do I look good?”

Su Qingsang spun around in front of Huo Jinyao. The hem of her dress fluttered in the wind, and it didn’t look like she was four months pregnant at all.

“You look good.” Huo Jinyao nodded. Su Qingsang looked at herself in the mirror and also thought that she looked pretty good.

“I suddenly realized that I can wear this next time to take a set of photos. What do you think?”

“Okay.” Huo Jinyao unconditionally supported Su Qingsang’s decision. “How about I help you collect all the clothes from the 56 ethnic groups and do it all over again?”

Su Qingsang was amused by his words. “Mr. Huo, are you trying to spoil me?”

“Yes,” Huo Jinyao admitted openly. “I’m trying to spoil you. That way, you’ll never be able to escape from me.”

“Enough.”

He wasn’t afraid of being laughed at for saying such mushy words in this crowded store.

Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Huo Jinyao didn’t say anything more.

Su Qingsang changed out of her clothes. After some thought, she bought a total of three sets.

“Actually, what about this set of clothes? It’s just for a pose and a photo. If I really wear it out like this, it would be too flashy.”

Su Qingsang watched as the shop assistant wrapped up the dresses and brought them over.

“Then why did you buy so much?”

“Yeah, I bought them to sent to Mengwan. She’ll definitely like them.”

That was what Su Qingsang had thought when she first saw it.

“As long as you’re happy.”

“Let’s go.”

After buying the dresses, Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang left the shop. Someone naturally carried the things to the car behind them.

Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao continued shopping. It was a little cold at night there. Su Qingsang rubbed her arms.

“Let’s go back.” Huo Jinyao looked at the time. “We’ll be here for the next few days anyway. You can come whenever you want.”

“Okay.” Su Qingsang yawned. She was really a little tired. Her stamina usually wasn’t that bad, but she was pregnant after all.

When she got home, Su Qingsang received a call from Li Qianxue. She knew that she was having fun outside. Although she wouldn’t say that she was fooling around, she was still worried.

Su Qingsang repeatedly explained that her schedule was very relaxed now. It was much easier than working in the hospital.

With that said, Li Qianxue became nervous again. “Is it very tiring to work in the hospital? Why don’t you rest? You can go to work whenever you want.”

“Mom, stop it.” Su Qingsang laughed and couldn’t help but say, “Mom, when you were pregnant, you also continued to work as usual, right? You didn’t say that you would stop once you got pregnant and do nothing, right?”

“Of course. Back then, not only did I continue to work, I also risked my life. I had to do my best.”

Her voice was very faint, but Su Qingsang immediately understood some of the meaning behind it. Li Qianxue must have risked her life to prove herself to Su Chenghui in that situation, didn’t she?

“Mom, you and Mr. Wei, you –”

“I have nothing with him. Don’t worry about me. Take good care of the baby and give birth to the child safely.”

Li Qianxue had no intention of getting married again. She had no intention of provoking any men, especially men like Wei Ting, who was much younger than her and looked unreliable.

“I know, Mom.”

Before hanging up the phone, Su Qingsang told Li Qianxue her thoughts.

“Mom, actually, I think that even if it’s not that Mr. Wei, there can still be other men. You’re still so young, you can totally start a new life.”

“Okay.” Li Qianxue was defeated by her daughter. “I told you not to worry about me, so why are you still talking about it? Just focus on yourself and give birth to the child. That’s the most important thing now.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Qingsang sent Shi Mengwan a video request. In the end, the other party didn’t accept it.

Su Qingsang later changed to calling Shi Mengwan, but there was still no answer. After thinking about it, she sent her a message, telling her that she had bought a few ethnic-style clothes that she liked. Whether it was the color scheme or the style, they were all good.

She had already sent them to her. It was sent directly to the studio. However, after sending the message, there was still no reply.

This time, she didn’t even give her a call back. Su Qingsang furrowed her brows slightly.

“Could it be that something had happened?”

“What’s wrong?”

Huo Jinyao came out of the bathroom and saw Su Qingsang staring at her phone blankly. He went forward and put his arm around her waist. “You’re not going to rest after taking a shower, but you’re here on the balcony to catch a cold breeze?”

“No. I was on the phone with my mom.”

Su Qingsang thought of Shi Mengwan again. “I don’t know what Wanwan is busy with, but she hasn’t answered my calls or replied to my messages.”

“It’s already so late. Maybe she’s already asleep.”

“Maybe.”

Although Shi Mengwan was a workaholic, she still took good care of her body. Other than when she had sketching deadlines, she usually went to bed on time.

What she didn’t know was that not only was Shi Mengwan not sleeping, she was in that villa at the end, not far from their villa. In the same room on the second floor, she was being pressed down by Zhan Haoze.
