Shi Mengwan looked at the handsome face in front of her and nodded her head without giving any face.

Zhan Haoze listened to her words and narrowed his eyes. His gaze was too dangerous. Shi Mengwan wanted to step back, but it was too late.

Zhan Haoze pulled her back into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her until her hands and feet went soft.

He pressed his forehead against hers and said in a raspy voice, “Alright, let’s go outside. I’ll take care of the remaining two dishes.”

“…” Shi Mengwan’s legs went soft. She leaned against the wall and looked at Zhan Haoze. She felt that the person in front of her was a little different.

He nudged her gently. “Go. I’ll call you later.”

Even if Shi Mengwan didn’t believe him, she could only go out now. After wiping the dining table, she went into the kitchen and saw that Zhan Haoze was really cooking.

“Are you so worried?”

Shi Mengwan didn’t dare to answer Zhan Haoze’s question. She took the bowl and chopsticks and quickly went out.

She had just put them away when she oincidentally received a call. A client had some ideas about the design. Shi Mengwan listened to them patiently and then wrote them down.

After she had made an agreement with the client, the discussion was over. As she turned around, Zhan Haoze had already come out of the kitchen.

He held two dishes in his hands. After placing them down, he looked at her. “Come, let’s eat.”

Shi Mengwan looked at him suspiciously. She took a few steps forward and looked at the dishes on the dining table.

She had bought onions to stir-fry beef today. This dish looked simple, but it was actually not easy to cook.

Beef was considered a relatively difficult dish to make. The heat might not be enough, the beef might not be cooked, and the taste might be a little bad. When it was overheated, the beef would be fried until it was too old, and it wouldn’t taste good.

Shi Mengwan looked at the beef on the table. From the looks of it, it was pretty good.

She sat down and tasted the beef. She looked at Zhan Haoze in surprise.

“When did you learn to cook?” She really couldn’t tell.

Zhan Haoze didn’t answer her question. “How does it taste?”

“Very good.”

It was indeed good. Shi Mengwan was even more curious about how he learned it. Zhan Haoze didn’t say anything. Instead, he scooped a bowl of soup for her and placed it in front of her.

Shi Mengwan had done this action many times before. Now that Zhan Haoze had done the same thing to her, her heart suddenly felt warm.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind. Those uncertain thoughts that she wanted to resist seemed to have faded again because of the change that Zhan Haoze had made after his return.

She couldn’t resist him when he was cold and indifferent in the past. Now that he had become gentle, she couldn’t resist him even more.

What should she do? Shi Mengwan, are you going to sink into this again?

The taste of the food was very pleasing to her, but she didn’t like it. She looked up at Zhan Haoze and found that he was also looking at her. His eyes were gentle and had a subtle smile.

Her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that she rarely saw Zhan Haoze smiling like this.

“Do you have any plans tomorrow?”

Zhan Haoze’s voice brought Shi Mengwan back to her senses. She looked at him and said, “Yes, I have a design to fix tomorrow.”

She had to finish modifying the client’s request tomorrow.

“Is it urgent?”

“It’s not.”

They were all old customers, so there was no rush.

“Then why don’t you come out for a day? Let’s go play?”

“Huh?”

Shi Mengwan was stunned. Go play? Where to play?

“You can think about where to play.”

Shi Mengwan lowered her head and went to eat. Was he asking her out on a date?

This time, wasn’t he afraid of meeting someone he knew?

“It’s not the weekend, so there shouldn’t be many people. You can think about it.”

Shi Mengwan wanted to say that she wanted to go to the new amusement park that opened this year, but when she met Zhan Haoze’s eyes, she said, “Let’s go to Mount Qin. I haven’t climbed a mountain in a long time.”

Zhan Haoze’s expression didn’t change. He nodded aloofly. “Okay. Then let’s climb Mount Qin.”

He looked as if he hadn’t thought of anything. It also seemed as if Mount Qin was just an ordinary mountain to him.

Shi Mengwan’s mood was inexplicably a little conflicted. Had he forgotten, or…

At night, Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze, who was sleeping beside her. She kept feeling that the person in front of her seemed to have changed a lot.

“Can’t sleep?” Zhan Haoze didn’t do anything to her today. He just hugged her to sleep.

“No.” Shi Mengwan turned over and wanted to sleep, but Zhan Haoze turned her body over again. His hand was all over her body in an unruly manner.

Shi Mengwan resisted instinctively, “Stop fooling around. Aren’t you going to climb the mountain tomorrow?”

“It’s okay.” Zhan Haoze kissed her neck, “If you can’t climb anymore, I’ll carry you.”

“You –”

Shi Mengwan couldn’t win against Zhan Haoze in the end, so she let him have his way once. However, Zhan Haoze knew to stop when things were good. He let her off after just once.

She couldn’t sleep at first, but after being tormented by him, she fell asleep peacefully.

..

Shi Mengwan sat in the car. When they reached the foot of Mount Qin, she was still a little absent-minded.

Ever since she got separated from her Dear Brother when she was 13 years old, she had never come here again.

This was a sad place for her. She had always felt regretful and annoyed. If she hadn’t suggested coming here, her Dear Brother wouldn’t have met those bad people, and she wouldn’t have gotten separated from him.

Shi Mengwan’s emotions were complicated at this moment. She looked at Zhan Haoze, who acted as if nothing had happened.

Mount Qin had changed a lot compared to more than ten years ago. A road, leading straight to the mountainside, was built at the foot of the mountain. This was originally a hilly area, so the mountain wouldn’t be too high.

Shi Mengwan sat in the car and watched the car go up the mountain. Finally, she stopped at the parking lot halfway up the mountain.

When she got out of the car, she looked at the cars in front and behind her. When she turned around to face Zhan Haoze, she was a little conflicted. “Can we not let them follow us?”

“Okay.”

It was rare for Zhan Haoze to be so easy to talk to, so Shi Mengwan breathed a sigh of relief.

The scenery at the peak of the mountain was pretty good. Shi Mengwan didn’t have many memories of Mount Qin. All her memories were of her Dear Brother being beaten, bleeding, and losing her.

Now, her mood was different. She walked up and looked at the beautiful scenery on both sides. She was in the mood to appreciate it.

She walked quickly and accidentally tripped on a small stone by the roadside. Her body tilted and Zhan Haoze quickly grabbed her waist to stabilize her body.

This scene was somewhat similar. She turned around to look at him. Her eyes were misty for a moment. Zhan Haoze saw her snuggling in his arms like this and leaned over to kiss her.

Shi Mengwan’s face turned red for a moment, but Zhan Haoze let go of her at this moment.

“Let’s go.”

Shi Mengwan lowered her head. She wanted to walk forward quickly, but Zhan Haoze held her hand.

She was stunned again and turned to look at him. He held her hand and continued to walk forward.

It was actually a little cold in Lin City during this season, especially when the mountain wind blew. However, Shi Mengwan’s hand was held by Zhan Haoze. His hand was very warm, very hot.

That kind of heat made Shi Mengwan ignore the cold in her hand.

Other than the big rock that looked like a zither, there were also a few other strange rocks on Mount Qin. Although it couldn’t be compared to the scenary of a famous mountain like Mount Huang, the scenery was still pretty good.

The two of them went up the mountain together. Because it wasn’t the weekend, there weren’t many people.

Shi Mengwan finally got into fun spirits after seeing the huge zither rock. She took out her phone and took a photo. The huge stone was like a huge zither due to the change of time.

Shi Mengwan put her hand on it and turned to Zhan Haoze. She said almost reflexively, “Dear Brother, I’ll climb up –”

Shi Mengwan didn’t say anything else.

When Mount Qin hadn’t been developed yet more than ten years ago and wasn’t a tourist attraction, no one came here at all. She once followed Dear Brother and climbed up the huge zither.

Now that she had grown up, and there were tourists passing by from time to time on the mountain, she was embarrassed to climb up.

Zhan Haoze held her waist. “Do you want to go up? If you want to go up, I’ll carry you up.”

The stone zither was huge, so it was naturally very tall. Shi Mengwan shook her head. Realizing that she had misspoken just now, her interest was reduced by half.

“No, I’ll just be a civilized tourist.”

Looking at Zhan Haoze, she handed the phone to him. Without saying anything, Zhan Haoze understood what she meant.

After taking a few photos, Shi Mengwan was about to take the phone back when a couple came up. They were also here to play.

When they saw Shi Mengwan and Zhan Haoze, their eyes lit up. “Beauty, help us take a photo together.”

“Sure.”

Shi Mengwan didn’t refuse. She took the phone and took a picture of them.

She took a few pictures from all angles. When the girl took the phone, she thanked Shi Mengwan profusely. “Thank you, pretty girl. Your boyfriend is also very handsome. Why don’t I take a picture of the two of you together?”

Before Shi Mengwan could say anything, Zhan Haoze had already handed the phone to the girl.

Her eyes filled with a hint of approval, the girl clicked her tongue. A handsome man and a beautiful woman. It felt so good to take a photo of such models.

Shi Mengwan was still a little uncomfortable Zhan Haoze came over. Zhan Haoze put his hand on her shoulder. They looked at the camera together.

Shi Mengwan instinctively curled the corners of her lips. The hand on her shoulder suddenly tightened. She looked at Zhan Haoze in confusion.

At this moment, he just happened to come over and kiss her lips. Shi Mengwan’s eyes widened, but she heard the sound of the camera.

The scene was captured.

Shi Mengwan was a little embarrassed. After the couple left, she quickly left Zhan Haoze’s side.

Other than this huge rock that looked like a zither, there were other rocks of different shapes on Mount Qin. Shi Mengwan’s memory of the time she came here when she was a teenager wasn’t very deep anymore.

Her mood was also different now that she had returned to her old place. She turned around and looked at Zhan Haoze. He was also looking at her.

She wanted to ask a few times if he was her Dear Brother, but in the end, there was only silence. Forget it, why ask again?

Even if she asked, Zhan Haoze wouldn’t admit it.

She let go of the worries on her mind and played happily. As for the rest of the things, she wouldn’t worry about them for now.

It was almost noon when they came down from Mount Qin. The two of them got into the car. Shi Mengwan was tired after all.

She stayed in the office every day and was a little tired from climbing the mountain. On the other hand, Zhan Haoze. His expression didn’t change and he was calm and composed. It didn’t affect him at all.

Compared to others, the difference between this person was really big.

When the car passed by the foot of the mountain, Shi Mengwan took a look outside. That was the place where she had lost contact with her Dear Brother.

She turned around to look at Zhan Haoze, but he didn’t react at all. Was he really her Dear Brother?

Those memories had been on her mind for so many years, but Zhan Haoze seemed to have completely forgotten them.

Did something happen to him? Did he lose his memory? Or was there something that she didn’t know about?

She thought about Zhan Haoze’s current status. It was different from the past. Maybe he didn’t want to go through that experience of being a hooligan.

That was why he avoided talking about it? Was that so?

“Are you hungry? What do you want to eat for lunch?”

Zhan Haoze’s face was enlarged in front of her. Shi Mengwan realized that she was staring at Zhan Haoze, and she was a little embarrassed.

“Whatever.”

Zhan Haoze glanced at her but he wasn’t annoyed.

The car finally arrived at a very famous Western restaurant in the center of Lin City. Shi Mengwan followed Zhan Haoze into the door. Before the two of them had time to sit down, someone who knew Zhan Haoze happened to come over.

When the other party saw Zhan Haoze, they came over to greet him.

When Zhan Haoze was greeting the other party, the other party’s gaze swept past Shi Mengwan.

Shi Mengwan felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to pull her hand back, but she felt Zhan Haoze put his arm around her shoulder and calmly introduced, “This is my girlfriend.”

She was stunned on the spot. Did Zhan Haoze know what he was talking about?

She didn’t even notice that person’s ambiguous gaze. After all, at this stage, anyone who knew Zhan Haoze knew that he had a fiancée.

And now, he had a girlfriend. However, looking at Zhan Haoze’s expression, that person wouldn’t look for trouble and would leave after saying goodbye.

After that person left, Shi Mengwan stood there and looked at Zhan Haoze. “You, do you know what you’re talking about?”

“You were my girlfriend to begin with.” Zhan Haoze looked at her. “I promised you.”

If she wanted a status, he would give her a status.

Shi Mengwan sat there and looked at Zhan Haoze, who was completely different from what she remembered. She couldn’t control her heartbeat. She was once again moved by the person in front of her.

“Wanwan.” Zhan Haoze held her hand. His expression was focused. “Come back to Qing City with me.”

At this moment, Shi Mengwan couldn’t say anything to reject him. She just stared at Zhan Haoze in a daze. She actually had an uncontrollable impulse in her heart. She really wanted to throw everything away and follow him.

… ..

In the next few days, Zhan Haoze and Shi Mengwan seemed to have returned to the previous period of time.

He was very busy. After all, he came this time to deal with a lot of business before preparing to go to Qing City.

But every night, he would definitely have dinner with her.

Shi Mengwan’s apartment was very small. Zhan Haoze suggested that she change places, but she wasn’t willing. She wasn’t sure how long Zhan Haoze could maintain his current appearance. More importantly, if he were to leave one day… What would she do?

Time went by for a week, and Zhan Haoze looked even busier.

Shi Mengwan knew that he was busy, so she didn’t intend to disturb him. She also took the opportunity to negotiate with the two contract factories.

Song Searching Studio also took a big step forward.

Shi Mengwan was in a good mood. Thinking about how the relationship between Zhan Haoze and her was gradually getting better, she suddenly had a whim and wanted to celebrate with Zhan Haoze.

… ..

Chen Feifei looked at Zhan Haoze in front of her. After a week of not seeing him, the person in front of her seemed to have changed again.

There was still a cold expression on his face, but there was more gentleness. Needless to say, this must be the power of love.

She was really jealous of the woman who had Zhan Haoze’s heart, but she knew better than anyone what was the most important thing in front of her.

“Brother Hao. I’m sorry. It seems that I’ll have to trouble you tomorrow.”

Chen Feifei thought of herself as a very “filial” daughter. Therefore, she spent a lot of effort on Chen Yongchang’s retirement home.

In the end, she finally chose a small town in Canada. The environment was good, and the people were simple. Everything could be considered perfect.

The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that Chen Yongchang didn’t want to go. He had been throwing a tantrum at home these few days because of her and Zhan Haoze’s actions.

“You’re welcome. I’ll naturally do what I promised you.”

It was very easy to bring Chen Yongchang on the plane. It wasn’t too difficult to make Chen Yongchang stay abroad for the rest of his life.

Chen Feifei’s eyes were filled with mockery. “You know what? My father has been scolding me at home these past few days.”

She had been in the company for the past few months, so she had some understanding of the company. It would take some time for the company to return to her hands.

Chen Yongchang wanted to resist, but with Zhan Haoze around, he was suppressed.

Chen Yongchang had been scolding people at home for the past few days. Of course, not only did he scold Chen Feifei, but he also scolded Zhan Haoze.

“He said that I have no conscience and that you are an ingrate. I think it’s really funny. He was the one who said before that everything in the Chen family will belong to me in the future. Why is he so angry now that I just got it in advance?”

Zhan Haoze couldn’t answer her question. Chen Feifei smiled. “Forget it. Let’s not talk about him. Brother Hao, let’s have lunch together.”

Before Zhan Haoze refused, Chen Feifei raised her index finger. “Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. That old fox from Dacheng Corporation had arranged to meet at noon today. You know that he has always been lustful. I’m afraid that I will be at a disadvantage in his hands. In any case, you’ve already helped so much. I think you don’t mind going to a dinner party with me, right?”

She leaned forward a little. “If I can settle the Dacheng Corporation’s contract in advance, it will also allow me to establish my authority in the company in advance. Who knows, I might come out earlier to break off the engagement.”

Zhan Haoze was speechless. However, that old fox Dacheng indeed didn’t have a good reputation. However, he had some connections. There were benefits to working with him, but this person’s reputation wasn’t good. “Let’s go.”

Even if Chen Feifei didn’t say anything, he would still help her with these small favors.

“Thank you, brother Hao. You’re the best.”

Looking just like she did many years ago, Chen Feifei smiled innocently. Only they knew that Chen Feifei’s smile was completely different.

After going downstairs, Chen Feifei hooked her arm around Zhan Haoze’s arm before getting into the car. “Brother Hao, it’s been hard on you. Please act as a couple with me. Don’t worry. Just this once. I promise I won’t trouble you next time.”

Once she had a foothold in the Chen Corporation, there was really no need for Zhan Haoze to appear. Just a name would do.

Zhan Haoze glanced at her. At this point, he seemed to be a little helpless. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t help you.”

“Thank you.”

The two of them got into the car together and headed to the place that Chen Feifei had agreed on.

Zhan Haoze ordered someone to drive. He didn’t expect that Shi Mengwan, who was on the other side of the street and wanted to talk things over with Zhan Haoze, saw him coming out just now. She also happened to see the scene of Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei leaving arm in arm.

She had a cold expression on her face as she watched Zhan Haoze “lovingly” bring Chen Feifei into the car. She also saw Chen Feifei’s overly bright smile.

That scene looked like a loving and affectionate couple.

Shi Mengwan suddenly felt that all the words of love she had heard yesterday had become a joke.

She sat in the car and tightened her grip on the steering wheel. There was not a trace of emotion in her eyes.

Shi Mengwan watched as the shocking motorcade left the building of Zhan Haoze’s company. She also got into the car and started the engine to leave.

However, this time, she didn’t go back to the studio. Instead, she went home.

… ..

Zhan Haoze not only accompanied Chen Feifei to complete the Dacheng contract negotiation, but also went to the Chen Corporation. He appeared with Chen Feifei to show off his authority.

During his time at the Chen Corporation, his prestige wasn’t much worse than Chen Yongchang’s. Many people had always treated him as the future head of the Chen Corporation.

Now, Chen Yongchang said that he was “not feeling well” and needed to rest, and the person to take over was Chen Feifei. Everyone was a little worried, but when they saw Zhan Haoze, there was nothing to worry about.

After all, with Zhan Haoze around, the Chen family would only get better and better. Chen Feifei looked at the way those people looked at Zhan Haoze and clicked her tongue.

“Brother Hao, your existence is like a Buddha. With you, these people won’t dare to look down on me.”

“Thank you for supporting me.”

“No need to thank me.” Zhan Haoze was expressionless. “I’m just returning your favor.”

“Tsk, you’re just returning the favor of saving my life. Why do I feel like I’m losing out a little?” Chen Feifei couldn’t be bothered to hide herself in front of Zhan Haoze.

Zhan Haoze looked at her. “Or, would you want uncle to stay?”

“No need.” Chen Feifei didn’t dare to tease him anymore. “Alright. I promise you that we’re even.”

Zhan Haoze entered her office and read through some recent cases of the Chen Corporation. He also briefly told Chen Feifei some points to pay attention to.

After all, Chen Feifei was also a business student. She took over these things very quickly.

He believed that he would return to Qing City in two days and it wouldn’t have any impact.

He spent the whole afternoon at the Chen Corporation. He rejected Chen Feifei’s suggestion of having dinner together. His dinner was with Shi Mengwan.

“You’re so eager to meet your sweetheart. I really want to meet her.”

Zhan Haoze glanced at her but didn’t reply. Before everything was completely stable, he didn’t want Shi Mengwan to appear in front of Chen Feifei.

After leaving the Chen Corporation, he went straight back to Shi Mengwan’s apartment, only to find that she wasn’t at home.

Zhan Haoze was stunned for a moment. At this time, she should have already returned from the studio. Looking at the empty house, he took out his phone to make a call.

Shi Mengwan didn’t answer his call. He tried to call again, but there was still no answer. Later, Shi Mengwan’s phone was turned off.

Holding the phone, he looked at the living room in front of him in a daze.

What was Shi Mengwan doing? Ten minutes later, Zhan Haoze’s men brought news.

Shi Mengwan had gone home. Home? At this time, what was she going home for?

Zhan Haoze’s first thought was, could it be that her mother had arranged another blind date? Thinking of this, Zhan Haoze suddenly couldn’t sit still.
