Chapter 696: Making A Wedding Dress For Someone Else

The car was very spacious and quiet.

Shi Mengwan took some time to recover from the moment of shock. She almost thought that she was going to —

She retracted her thoughts and looked at Zhan Haoze, who was in front of her. Her emotions were complicated. Ever since she was a young girl, every time she was in danger, he was the one who saved her.

It was hard to say what she felt in her heart, but at this moment, her feelings were very ambivalent. She couldn’t think of anything else, so she just stared at Zhan Haoze in a daze.

With this look, she realized that the person in front of her seemed to be different in some way.

After not seeing him for nearly two months, Zhan Haoze’s facial features were still the same, but the expression he revealed was very different.

He used to be a bit sinister and arrogant. Now, he still looked sinister and arrogant, but there was something else.

The moment he got out of the car, his eyes were cold and his gaze was as sharp as a knife. It gave people the feeling that he was a sword that had finally been unsheathed.

This kind of aura of a superior made Shi Mengwan gulp subconsciously.

The car was still parked. Shi Mengwan turned her head to look. The person in black who was in the lead outside the car window had been beaten to the ground.

The scene was a little bloody. Shi Mengwan turned around to look at Zhan Haoze.

“That’s enough, right?” If the fight went on, someone might die.

Zhan Haoze glanced at her but didn’t respond. She came out to talk about the foundry today. She was wearing a casual suit and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked much more beautiful and youthful.

He picked up the ponytail at the back of her head and leaned over to sniff it.

This action didn’t have much of an erotic smell, but Shi Mengwan felt an inexplicable ambiguity, which made her very uncomfortable.

“It’s really enough.” She forced herself to focus her attention elsewhere. “Tell them to stop.”

Zhan Haoze still had his hand on her hair. He moved his face closer. “Do you know what they wanted to do just now?”

Shi Mengwan’s breathing tightened. Of course she knew. “Just call the police.”

Zhan Haoze stared at her face for a long time and knocked on the car window. The people outside almost instantly stopped their kicking.

The group of people stood at the front and back of the car again. Shi Mengwan couldn’t help but turn around to look at Zhan Haoze.

This person had made such a big scene. He was probably different again now, right?

She didn’t have the chance to ask the questions in her heart. Those people had already gotten into the car, and the car started again.

She couldn’t help but turn around to look at him. The person in front of her still had the same face, but she felt a little unfamiliar.

Zhan Haoze looked at her wandering mind. Wanting to kiss her lips, his lips moved forward. Shi Mengwan instinctively avoided him.

This action made Zhan Haoze’s eyes darken. He put his arms around her waist and not letting her leave, he held her tightly. He lowered his head and kissed her without warning.

Shi Mengwan didn’t have time to escape. This time, Zhan Haoze kissed her directly.

The lights in the car were dim. Occasionally, there would be reflected light from the street lamps. His deep facial features couldn’t be seen clearly at this time.

“Oh.” Shi Mengwan felt a pain on her lips and was bitten by him. She stared at him with her eyes wide open. He stepped back at this moment and his hand was still on her waist.

The distance between the two faces was less than three centimeters. The atmosphere in front of her was too intimate. Shi Mengwan wasn’t used to it. At this moment, she had nothing to say. “Um, my car –”

It wasn’t just the car. Her bag was also in the car.

“Don’t worry, they’ll take care of it.”

His breath brushed against her face. Shi Mengwan wanted to step back, but for some reason, she closed her eyes. In this way, it turned out to be like inviting Zhan haoze to kiss her.

Zhan Haoze did as she wished and kissed her again.

… ..

Shi Mengwan looked at the five cars that were parked in front of her apartment and felt a headache coming on. She didn’t understand why things had become like this again.

She looked at Zhan Haoze with a completely speechless gaze. “Can you not be so ostentatious?”

She still had to live in this neighborhood in the future. If Zhan Haoze’s actions were seen by others, what would they think?

Zhan Haoze shook his head. The current situation was special. Although he had made a deal with Uncle Chi to take over the Zhan family, the Zhan family wasn’t completely peaceful either.

The current Zhan family was like a volcano that was calmly washing its face. It could erupt at any time.

Whether it was Zhan Yi or Zhan Li or Zhan Yang, they weren’t convinced of him. In the past month or so, the small actions behind the scenes were unceasing.

Zhan Haoze didn’t take them seriously, but he wouldn’t let down his guard when necessary.

“Why did you come to me?” Shi Mengwan was angry. “I remember we broke up.”

“I remember too. I didn’t agree.” He wanted to get out of the car, but Shi Mengwan sat there and refused to get out.

“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan felt tired every time she communicated with him. “What do you take me for? What do you take me for? You can appear whenever you want and disappear whenever you want. When you disappeared, there was no news at all, but when you appeared, you insisted that I cooperate with your performance? What kind of logic is this?”

She was expressionless. The emotions that she had felt when she saw him earlier had all turned into calmness.

Zhan Haoze looked at her and suddenly reached out and pulled her into his embrace. “I’m sorry.”

Shi Mengwan’s body stiffened, but Zhan Haoze acted as if he didn’t feel anything. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have disappeared and appeared whenever I wanted to, but if you’re unhappy, I can promise you that I won’t do this in the future.”

Shi Mengwan didn’t know how to react to this sudden apology.

But she quickly remembered that this was Zhan Haoze’s second apology. Last time, he also said he was sorry, but in the end?

It wasn’t that Shi Mengwan didn’t love him, she just didn’t want to believe him anymore. The price of believing him was too great, and she realized that she couldn’t afford it.

“Zhan Haoze.” She should be happy to say such a promise at a time like this, but she really couldn’t be happy.

“Do you know?” She looked at her fingertips. Her lowered eyes couldn’t see her current expression. “I can’t believe your promise now.”

“You might not know, but I’m very tired when I’m with you. I often wonder if I did something wrong. I often wonder, what are you doing in a place I don’t know about? Are those things dangerous?”

“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan finally looked up at him and met his gaze. “I’m too tired when I’m with you. I don’t want to be tired anymore.”

As she spoke, she pushed open the car door and got out. She turned around and went into the apartment.

Zhan Haoze followed her out of the car and waved his hand. Although the person in the lead disagreed, the five cars drove off together.

Zhan Haoze slowed down and followed behind Shi Mengwan.

Shi Mengwan quickened her steps, and Zhan Haoze followed behind her. When she reached the elevator, she wanted to tell him to stop following her, but this wasn’t her home, so she endured it.

Zhan Haoze seemed to be completely oblivious to the disgust in her eyes, and just followed behind her.

They entered the elevator and went upstairs. Shi Mengwan was silent all the way, so he followed her.

Until she stood at the door, Shi Mengwan finally couldn’t help but turn around and glare at him.

“Mr. Zhan, don’t you have somewhere to go?”

Shi Mengwan’s tone wasn’t very pleasant. “I believe that with your current status, you should have your own place in Lin City, right? Even if you don’t have it, I believe that Miss Chen would be happy to take you in, so I really don’t understand why you’ve been following me.”

Zhan Haoze looked at the anger on her face. This was her, right? Lively and full of anger.

An almost imperceptible smile flashed through his eyes. He moved his body forward and placed a hand on the door behind her.

“I do have a place to stay.” His face was almost touching hers. His voice was low and filled with seductive undertones. “But, I just want to be by your side.”

This person’s words of love were really deadly. Shi Mengwan’s body was already tightly pressed against the door behind her.

A man’s lust would mislead people. This was true. The Zhan Haoze in front of her could be considered a male version of Daji.

Shi Mengwan had never thought that she would hear Zhan Haoze’s confession like this one day. Looking at his face, she was a little confused.

“You –”

Before she could finish her sentence, the door behind her opened. Shi Mengwan was stunned when she almost fell backward. As soon as she steadied herself, she remembered that her bag was still in the car, so she didn’t bring her keys.

Then —

She looked down and saw Zhan Haoze open the door with the keys. Her lips opened and closed, then opened and closed again. “You –”

Didn’t she ask him to return the key to her? Why does he still have it?

When Zhan Haoze opened the door, he used his other hand to hold her waist. He brought her in and closed the door behind him.

“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan stretched out her hand. “Return the key.”

“Wanwan.” Zhan Haoze picked her up and hugged her tightly. “I missed you so much.”

“…” He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “Don’t you miss me?”

“Who wants to miss you?” Shi Mengwan pulled his hand, but Zhan Haoze held her hand behind his back. “You didn’t miss me?”

“I didn’t.”

Zhan Haoze kissed her on the lips. “Do you miss me?”

“Who would miss you? Get out of the way.”

Zhan Haoze took another hit. “Do you miss me?”

“I said, don’t want to, don’t want to, don’t want to. Zhan Haoze, stop fooling around. I really don’t want to miss you.”

Her voice was raised by one degree, and her face was flushed with anger. Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly carried her in his arms.

“You –”

“Since you said you don’t want to, then it proves that I did too little before. It seems that I have to do something to make you remember it often.”

“Zhan Haoze, you’re shameless.”

When Zhan Haoze heard this, not only was he not angry, he even moved his face closer to her ear. “En. Later, I’ll do something even more shameless. Do you believe me?”

In terms of acting like a hooligan, how could Shi Mengwan be his match?

Her body was placed on the bed. When she tried to get up, he would pile on top of her and suppress her.

If she pushed him, he would have the ability to make her unable to move.

The moment her hand was bound by his tie, Shi Mengwan gritted her teeth. “You, you’re raping me.”

“Is that so?” Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes. “Since you put it that way, I can only think of a way to make you be willing to be raped by me.”

Shi Mengwan didn’t understand what Zhan Haoze meant. It was only when he was teasing her like she was a kitten and that she was begging for mercy time and time again that she realized that this was more shameful than being willing.

..

When Shi Mengwan was half-awake and half-dreaming, she felt herself being gently carried into the bathroom by Zhan Haoze.

There was no bathtub, so she was carried into the shower by him. After the shower, he carefully wiped her dry, then carried her out again.

He placed her on the bed very gently. He took a hair dryer to dry her hair, pulled up the blanket, and covered her body.

Shi Mengwan was still awake, and her body was very tired and weak. So much so that when she saw Zhan Haoze like this, not only did she not feel touched, she even felt angry.

“Bastard.” She was angry. “Zhan Haoze, can you stop acting like a stallion in heat every time?”

Zhan Haoze frowned because of her description. As if he thought of something, he pulled her hand into his arms.

“Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in.” He gently kissed her earlobe and felt her tremble slightly because of his action.

He silently curved his lips and his eyes were filled with joy. “My self-control was very poor when I met you.”

“You –” It was clearly his problem, so why was he blaming her now?

Shi Mengwan didn’t want to pay attention to him and she was very sleepy. She pretended not to hear what Zhan Haoze said.

She closed her eyes and wanted to sleep, but Zhan Haoze wouldn’t let her. He kissed her on the cheek again.

“Wanwan, come with me to Qing City.”

Shi Mengwan didn’t even bother to answer. She didn’t want to talk to him at all.

“I want you to stay by my side.”

Most importantly, apart from those restless cousins, there was also Uncle Chi. He didn’t trust anyone. He had to keep her under his nose.

Only when he personally looked after her and protected her would he feel more at ease.

“No.” Shi Mengwan refused and turned her back to him. “Zhan Haoze, I’m not going anywhere.”

She used her posture to show her resistance. Zhan Haoze looked at the back of her head and pulled her into his arms with his big hand. He lowered his head and gently kissed her hair.

“Go to sleep.”

If there was anything, he would wait until she woke up.

Shi Mengwan wanted to believe that she was dreaming. Zhan Haoze saved her in her dream, and Zhan Haoze followed her home. Then the two of them started to mess around again.

She shook her head. This kind of dream wasn’t good. It was a nightmare for her.

But she didn’t expect that Zhan Haoze was still there when she opened her eyes. Just like that period of time, the dining table was filled with breakfast. Zhan Haoze sat at the dining table and reached out his hand to her when he saw her get up.

“Let’s eat.”

After yesterday, Shi Mengwan didn’t want to argue with Zhan Haoze over such a small matter.

If there was anything, she would wait to finish breakfast and slowly argue with him.

“I have to go out later.”

After eating, he didn’t wait for Shi Mengwan to reveal her cards. Zhan Haoze took the initiative to explain his whereabouts. “There are some things in the company that I need to take care of. I’ll probably be in Lin City for the next few days. You can also pack your luggage and go to Qing City with me when you’re ready.”

When Shi Mengwan heard this, she put down the milk in her hand. “Zhan haoze, I don’t think I promised you to go to Qing City, right?”

“Wanwan, stop fooling around.”

Zhan Haoze wanted to hold her hand, but Shi Mengwan didn’t give him the chance.

She stood up abruptly. “Zhan Haoze, didn’t you come all the way here just to do what you did last night? Now that you’ve done it, you’ve achieved your goal. You can leave now.”

“Wanwan.”

“As for me, I definitely won’t go to Qing City. Give up on that thought.”

After saying this, she turned around and went back to her room to change her clothes and prepare for work.

After taking a few steps, she could feel the feeling coming from somewhere in her body.

She gritted her teeth and turned around to glare at Zhan Haoze. Would she accompany such a person to Qing City?

He would go wherever he was told to go. She would not wait on him.

Zhan Haoze sat there without moving. As he looked at her figure, the corners of his lips curled up even higher.

..

Zhan Haoze looked at Chen Yongchang in front of him without an expression. Chen Yongchang, who had always liked him, was now completely silent. There was a faint hint of flattery in the silence.

After a long silence, Chen Yongchang opened his mouth first.

“Haoze, you haven’t been paying much attention to the company these few months.”

Zhan Haoze was silent. He originally wanted to send Shi Mengwan to the studio in the morning, but he didn’t expect to receive a call from Chen Yongchang.

He didn’t know how he found out about his return to Lin City, so he came over early in the morning. Zhan Haoze didn’t plan to go too far with Chen Yongchang.

However, this didn’t mean that he was a pushover that could be easily manipulated.

“Don’t you have uncle to deal with the company’s matters? I thought you didn’t want me to interfere too much.”

“Look at what you’re saying. No matter what, you and Feifei are childhood sweethearts and engaged fiancés. Isn’t it normal for you to interfere in the Chen family’s business?”

“Uncle, you’d better be careful with your words. I remember that I’ve already made it clear to Feifei that we’ve already broken off the engagement. Uncle, if you say that again, it will affect Feifei’s reputation in the outside world.”

Chen Yongchang looked at Zhan Haoze. At this moment, even he couldn’t help but curse.

If he really knew that it would affect Feifei’s reputation, he shouldn’t have broken off the engagement.

“Haoze, look at what you’re saying. Feifei is sincere to you. You can’t let her down like this, can you?”

Chen Yongchang held back his unhappiness and once again played the emotional card. He talked about how they saved Zhan Haoze back then. If it weren’t for them, Zhan Haoze would probably have died on the streets by now.

If Zhan Haoze was a person with a conscience, he wouldn’t have declined and taken over the business of the Chen Corporation.

In the past two months, Chen Yongchang had really felt uncomfortable. When Zhan Haoze was in Lin City, he didn’t do anything.

However, the company’s performance had been thriving. Many cases that seemed difficult to solve at that time had become easier in Zhan Haoze’s hands.

Since he wasn’t around for two months, although there were no major problems with the Chen Corporation, Chen Yongchang had become more and more exhausted and understood more and more of Zhan Haoze’s role and methods.

Zhan Haoze sat there without moving. He waited patiently for Chen Yongchang to finish talking about the past. He supported his chin with one hand.

“Then, Uncle Chen, what do you want me to do?”

He didn’t call him Uncle anymore. He added his surname. The estrangement was already very obvious.

Chen Yongchang didn’t understand what he was saying. “From what I’m saying, of course you want to re-enter the Chen Corporation and take over my business.”

Zhan Haoze wasn’t in a hurry to speak. He just looked at Chen Yongchang and stared at his face. Zhan Haoze couldn’t bear what he Haoze meant, so he finally spoke.

“En. Go to the Chen Corporation and take over the Chen Corporation’s business. Then, when I make the Chen Corporation bigger and stronger, I’ll let your ideal candidate take over your business, right?”

“Haoze, you, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“Is it nonsense?” Zhan Haoze didn’t think so. He was glaring at Chen Yongchang’s face. He took out a photo from the drawer and pushed the photo in front of Chen Yongchang.

When he saw the photo, Chen Yongchang’s eyes widened. “You, you, you, where did you get the photo? No, how did you know?”

He had done this very discreetly and no one knew about it. Other than one of his confidants who had followed him for many years and took care of him from time to time, no one else knew about it, let alone others.

Zhan Haoze looked at Chen Yongchang, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. “Uncle probably doesn’t know, but I don’t like to fight battles that I’m not confident in. Since you want me to return to the Chen family and support the Chen family to bring them to glory, then I have to make sure that I can get some benefits here, right? If there are no benefits, why waste my time? However, I didn’t expect that the things that uncle arranged for me would not only have no benefits, but instead, he even dug such a big hole for me to jump into –”

He didn’t say anything else after that. Chen Yongchang became anxious. “Zhan Haoze, what do you mean? You –”

“Uncle.” Zhan Haoze picked up the photo as if he was admiring it. When he put it down, his gaze became quite sharp. “The matter of making a wedding dress for someone else, perhaps some saint would like it, but I don’t like it.”

“Haoze, you –”

“Not to mention, I’ve already told Feifei that we should dissolve the marital agreement between us. Feifei is a very smart girl. She just didn’t understand it for a moment. After a long time, she would know that her feelings were just thee infatuation for a little girl who didn’t understand love, but, uncle, you’re different –”

Zhan Haoze’s voice was filled with mockery, and every sentence seemed to hit Chen Yongchang’s heart. Uncle, you have spoiled Feifei for so many years. You made Feifei think that she was the happiest little princess in the world, but I think that she probably never dreamed that she, the most proud little princess of the Chen family, was not the only one. Because her father, who has always doted on her, has an illegitimate child outside.”

“Zhan Haoze.” Chen Yongchang couldn’t listen anymore. “You, enough. Shut up. Don’t speak anymore.”

“Feifei’s health isn’t good. You don’t want her to be stimulated. But, you don’t want these properties to fall into the hands of others, so you came to me. Because with me, who owes the Chen family a favor, you can ignore me and treat me as a victim. You can use me to make money for you. You can use me to bring the Chen family back to the top. And you –”

“Once the Chen family reaches the height you want, you will treat it as a gift to your illegitimate child outside. Poor Feifei would be sacrificed by you just like that.”

Zhan Haoze’s words had been very soft, and Chen Yongchang’s facial expression was ugly. He simply wanted to slap the table and scold Zhan Haoze for his nonsense. However, the office door was opened with a bang.

Chen Feifei stood at the door with a pale expression on her face and looked at the people inside in shock.
