To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 685
Chapter 685: I’m Wanwan’s Boyfriend
Her body stiffened and she didn’t dare to move at all.
I’m sorry? Was that something that someone like Zhan Haoze would say? For a moment, she thought there was something wrong with her ears. How was that possible?
She must’ve heard it wrong, she must’ve heard it wrong.
As her thoughts ran wild, her hand was wrapped by a thick and warm palm. That soft, feather-like kiss landed on her again. This time, on her eyelids.
“I’m sorry.”
Those three very soft words rang out again. This time, it was even clearer than before.
She didn’t dare to move, but her trembling eyelashes betrayed her current emotions. She forced herself not to open her eyes.
Her excessive restraint made her hands clench into fists by her side. Her eyes were a little sore.
But it was only for a moment. After thinking for a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and met Zhan Haoze’s gaze.
Their eyes met and Shi Mengwan’s almond-shaped eyes were clear and cold. “Zhan Haoze, I don’t need you to say sorry.”
“I just want you to leave this place.”
Her voice was very soft, but her gaze was very determined. She really didn’t want to be entangled with him like this anymore.
“Wanwan?”
“You can go.”
These three words were extremely calm. Half of Shi Mengwan’s reason was because she was sick, and the other half was because she was tired. She should have ended this entanglement a long time ago.
However, she really missed it too much, and she was too greedy for the warmth and care that her Dear Brother had brought to her.
Zhan Haoze didn’t respond to her words. He pulled the blanket higher for her.
“You’re still sick. You should rest first.”
“Zhan Haoze, don’t you understand?” Shi Mengwan looked at him with a face of resistance. “With you here, it’s impossible for me to rest well.”
Zhan Haoze’s brows furrowed again. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. He picked it up without thinking too much.
Shi Mengwan was so ill that she was in a daze. She couldn’t react to the familiar ringtone at first.
It wasn’t until the sound of “Auntie” rang in her ear that her eyes widened like thunder. She wanted to sit up, but Zhan Haoze had already started chatting with mother Shi on the other end of the phone.
“Auntie? Hello.”
Shi Mengwan couldn’t even imagine her mother’s reaction on the other end of the phone. “Zhan Haoze –”
She lowered her voice and gestured for Zhan Haoze to return the phone to her.
“I’m Zhan Haoze, Wanwan’s boyfriend.”
Zhan Haoze looked into her eyes and said firmly. Shi Mengwan covered her eyes with one hand.
“She’s still sleeping. Yes, she caught a cold when she came back yesterday.”
Zhan Haoze had been answering Shi Mengwan’s calls for the past few days. It was just that she didn’t have many calls. Previously, Xiao Ji had called because she had called too many times. Zhan Haoze also knew that it was a call from the studio, so he helped her answer one.
Shi Mengwan originally thought that she could escape for a while, but Zhan Haoze’s words made her sink into great despair.
“Yes, it’s my fault. I didn’t take good care of her.”
Shi Mengwan raised her head and glared at Zhan Haoze. She hated his shameless behavior to the extreme.
“Should I ask her to answer the phone?”
“Okay. I’ll wait for her to wake up and ask her to call you back.”
It was unknown to Shi Mengwan what Zhan Haoze said on the other end of the phone. Zhan Haoze glanced at Shi Mengwan. “Okay, this weekend, right? I’ll definitely pay a visit.”
“Zhan Haoze…”
Shi Mengwan’s lips moved and she almost screamed. She was shocked by Zhan Haoze’s shamelessness and even forgot about his self-introduction.
He said he was her boyfriend? Shi Mengwan didn’t have time to think about Zhan Haoze’s words. She was already so shocked by what he said next that her eyes widened.
“Thank you, Auntie. Don’t worry, I’ll bring Wanwan back with me.”
“Okay, okay. Bye.”
As soon as Zhan Haoze hung up, Shi Mengwan ignored her weak body and rushed forward to snatch the phone away.
She glared at him. Even though she was still weak, she still pointed at the tip of his nose.
“You, you, you, who allowed you to agree?” This was too much, this was too much.
She was so angry because she didn’t expect Zhan Haoze to do this at all.
Compared to her, who was angry, Zhan Haoze was much more indifferent. “Auntie said that she wanted me to bring you home this weekend.”
“I don’t want to.” Shi Mengwan didn’t want her parents or family to know about her relationship with Zhan Haoze at all. “Zhan Haoze, get out. If you want to go back, you go back. I won’t go home with you.”
Not only would she not go home with him, she even wanted to beat him up.
“I’ll go back?” Zhan Haoze nodded and didn’t seem to object. “Alright, then I’ll pick a time to visit Auntie and Uncle.”
“Zhan Haoze.” Shi Mengwan threw her phone to the side and reached out to pull Zhan Haoze’s sleeve. “What do you want?”
“Didn’t I say that I’ll accompany you home to meet your parents?”
“Meet my parents? As what?”
“Your boyfriend.”
Shi Mengwan nodded. “My boyfriend? Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.” There was nothing uncertain about it.
“You’re my boyfriend. Who is Chen Feifei to you?”
Zhan haoze’s expression didn’t change, but an ambivalent expression flashed through his eyes. “She’s nothing.”
“Heh. Nothing? Isn’t she your legitimate fiancée?”
“I’m not engaged to her.” That was just a one-sided agreement between Chen Yongchang and Chen Feifei. He didn’t agree.
If he could, he even wanted to withdraw and retreat, but now wasn’t the time.
Shi Mengwan smiled, but that smile didn’t reach her eyes. “An ordinary person’s heart changes, and an old friend’s heart changes easily.”
She didn’t refute his words for the first time, but the meaning behind it was enough.
Zhan Haoze looked at her and reached out to shake her hand, but she avoided him. “Leave.”
“Wanwan.” Zhan Haoze wasn’t angry at her attitude. “If I leave, who will accompany you home?”
Shi Mengwan laughed lightly and didn’t seem surprised by his question at all. “I don’t need you to accompany me. I’ll tell my mom that we broke up.”
Zhan Haoze’s expression darkened because of her words. He didn’t speak and just looked at her fixedly.
It was rare for Shi Mengwan to not shrink back at all. She just looked at him.
Their gazes met in the air and no one was willing to back down. Shi Mengwan swallowed her saliva and forced herself to calm down.
“Zhan Haoze, you said that you want to accompany me home. You said that you want to see my family with me. Do you know what it means for you to follow me home?”
Shi Mengwan’s voice was a little hoarse. Her head was still a little dizzy. Her body was also soft and she couldn’t exert any strength.
“If you go home with me, it means that you’re willing to separate our identities. It means that you’re willing to marry me. Zhan Haoze –”
She stared into his eyes and the corners of her lips were full of mockery that couldn’t be concealed. “Are you sure?”
She didn’t believe him at all. He knew.
Zhan Haoze suddenly reached out and held her hand. “Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. You should rest first.”
“Zhan Haoze…”
“If there’s anything else, wait until you’ve recovered.”
“Don’t avoid the topic. I won’t let you accompany me back to see my parents.”
“You should sleep first.” As Zhan Haoze spoke, he touched her forehead. “There’s still a little fever. I might need another injection.”
“Zhan Haoze.”
“You rest first. I still have some business to take care of. When I’m done, I’ll accompany you.”
“Zhan Haoze –”
No matter what Shi Mengwan said, Zhan Haoze just didn’t answer her question. She felt like she was like hitting cotton. It had no effect at all.
She was only focused on getting angry because of Zhan Haoze’s words, but she didn’t notice that Zhan Haoze was much gentler to her today than before.
He spoke more. His expression and voice were also filled with gentleness.
Unfortunately, Shi Mengwan wasn’t in the right mood and didn’t realize this at all.
..
In the end, Shi Mengwan wasn’t able to chase Zhan Haoze out of her apartment. Her bodily health had always been very good and she rarely got sick, so she never knew that her occasional illness would be severe.
After Zhan Haoze arrived, she fell asleep again because she was too tired. In a daze, she felt that someone was always by her side.
The towel on her forehead was changed every now and then, and she felt much more comfortable.
In her heart, she actually knew that the person who was guarding her was Zhan Haoze, but so what? There would be no result between her and him.
She just didn’t expect that after sleeping for one night, when she woke up the next day, the sky had changed.
Yesterday, Zhan Haoze told Mother Shi that Shi Mengwan was sick. Mother Shi was extremely worried.
Mother Shi had never heard of the name Zhan Haoze, and she was worried because she had never heard of him before.
Shi Mengwan never told Mother Shi about what she did outside or who she met. Mother Shi had always liked Xiao Qi, but Shi Mengwan didn’t like him.
Mother Shi was really anxious. It wasn’t that Xiao Qi was the only one, but if Xiao Qi could agree to such a condition, then he would definitely treat Shi Mengwan well in the future, right?
What about this Zhan Haoze? Where did he come from? How did they meet? How long had they been together? What did he do?
She wanted to know all these questions, but Zhan Haoze didn’t make it clear on the phone. So, the overly worried Mother Shi couldn’t wait until Zhan Haoze brought Shi Mengwan home on the weekend.
The next morning, the people in town happened to be driving to Lin City. After Mother Shi tidied up, she told father Shi to stay at home and take care of Shi Mengru.
No matter what, Shi Mengru was now in the third year of middle school. Shi Mengwan, who was about to take her middle school exams, didn’t want to distract her daughter at all,
She had been to Shi Mengwan’s apartment before, and she would usually get someone to bring things to Shi Mengwan whenever she was free, so she directly came to find her.
When she came, Shi Mengwan had just woken up, and Zhan Haoze had gotten someone to cook porridge. Yesterday, it was plain porridge, and today, he got someone to cook fish porridge. It was light and nutritious.
“It’s still a little hot. Be careful.”
Zhan Haoze brought the congee to Shi Mengwan, but Shi Mengwan didn’t appreciate it at all.
“I’m not eating. Take it away.”
Shi Mengwan, who had slept for two days, finally recovered a little. Although she still didn’t have much strength, she could get out of bed.
“Get out.”
“Wanwan.” ZhanHaoze placed the congee on the bedside table. His expression was uncharacteristically gentle, but it looked like he was coaxing a child. “You haven’t recovered yet. Eating something light is good for your recovery.”
Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze as if he was an alien. “You…”
This Zhan Haoze didn’t look like what she remembered at all. She even wanted to ask him if he was possessed.
“Come, I’ll feed you.”
As Zhan Haoze spoke, he picked up the bowl of porridge and scooped up a spoonful to feed her. Shi Mengwan looked at him and waved her hand without thinking.
“Peng!” Zhan Haoze wasn’t prepared for Shi Mengwan to make a move. The porridge in his hand flew out. The bowl shattered and the porridge splashed all over the ground,
Some of it even splashed onto Zhan Haoze’s body. The atmosphere was silent.
Shi Mengwan didn’t expect that she would make such a move. She was a little stunned, but she didn’t think that she was wrong.
If he had left earlier, she wouldn’t have done such a thing.
She thought so, but it was hard for her to keep her calm. She could only turn her face to the side and force herself not to look at him.
Zhan Haoze looked at Shi Mengwan with a deep gaze and an ambivalent expression. His deep eyes couldn’t see what he was thinking.
Shi Mengwan waited for a long time but didn’t hear Zhan Haoze leave. She couldn’t help but turn around.
She didn’t expect Zhan Haoze to crouch down and pick up the pieces on the ground.
“…” Shi Mengwan was shocked and wanted to chase him away again, but she saw the obvious stains on his clothes.
She lowered her head again and thought about how to send Zhan Haoze away. Moreover, she wanted him to never bother her again.
Mother Shi came at this time.
When the door was knocked, Shi Mengwan was shocked. Who would come to her at this time?
It couldn’t be Su Qingsang. She was in Lin City. Could it be Xiao Ji? Or Tong Yan and Xiao Qiu?
Shi Mengwan didn’t want either of them to see Zhan Haoze.
She was about to get off the bed when Zhan Haoze pressed her body down. “Don’t move. There are pieces on the ground. Don’t hurt your feet.”
“Go away.” How could Shi Mengwan sit still? “I don’t want you to care.”
Just because there were pieces on one side didn’t mean there were pieces on the other side. Shi Mengwan stubbornly wanted to get off the bed, but Zhan Haoze pressed down on her body forcefully.
“Don’t move.”
He glared at her. His head hurt from her stubbornness. “If you don’t want me to do anything to you, then don’t move around.”
“You, you’re shameless.”
“I’ll go open the door.”
Zhan Haoze stood up straight and walked out as he spoke.
“You’re not allowed to go.” Shi Mengwan wanted to stop him, but her voice wasn’t imposing at all. Second of all, it was too late for her to stop him in this situation.
When Zhan Haoze saw Mother Shi standing at the door, he recognized her at a glance. She was Shi Mengwan’s mother.
Shi Mengwan’s mother was also a great beauty. One could see that she must have turned heads when she was young. Most importantly, she appeared somewhat similar to Shi Mengwan.
“Auntie, you’re here?”
She didn’t expect that the person who answered the phone was really a man. This time, Shi Mengwan’s mother was a little stunned. Even though she had heard him over the phone, seeing it with her own eyes was another matter.
She stood at the door but forgot to enter. She looked at Zhan Haoze and asked, “You, why are you here? Where’s my daughter?”
After asking, mother Shi finally reacted. “You’re that Ze guys? Where’s Wanwan?”
