Zhan Haoze happened to have his head lowered. She b.u.mped into Zhan Haoze’s forehead. He was fine, but she couldn’t stand the pain anymore.

Not only was it painful, but she was also dizzy.

She couldn’t stand still anymore. Her legs were soft. Zhan Haoze looked at her. Her forehead was already red.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she actually saw a faint smile in Zhan Haoze’s eyes.

Crazy! She retreated her head and was so angry that she planned to b.u.mp into him again. However, he easily avoided her and making her turn her back to him, he turned her body around.

“Let go of me.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s movements missed. After repeated movements, she felt more and more dizzy.

Zhan Haoze suddenly hugged her waist and carried her to the room.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan was already very dizzy, so she felt even more dizzy when he fell on her head. When she was thrown onto the bed by him, the soft silk made her body bounce twice.

Before she could get up, he was already on top of her.

“Zhan Haoze, go away.”

Her voice was a little hoa.r.s.e. Before she could finish, he had already stripped off her coat.

He threw it to the ground next to her, and then the sweater was next. The sweater was a pullover, so he couldn’t take it off at once.

As he took it off, she pulled at the hem with all her might. Thus, such a good piece of clothing was ripped out of shape just like that.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s hand had turned white from the strangling. Upon seeing this, Zhan Haoze easily grabbed her hand and raised it over his head.

Just as she was about to hit him, he tore off the tie on his neck and easily bound her hands.

He was very strong. She didn’t know how he did it, but her expensive sweater was torn to pieces by him.

“Pervert!” s.h.i.+ Mengwan cursed.

Zhan Haoze sneered and stared at her red face from anger. “Pervert? I should show you what a real pervert is!”

Her heart filled with fear, s.h.i.+ Mengwan watched as he tied her hands to the bed.

“Zhan Haoze, let go of me. Don’t be like this.”

Zhan Haoze was unmoved. He lowered his head and bit her lips hard. He retreated a little when she was in pain.

His lips fell on her cheek, bit by bit, and finally moved to her ear.

“Didn’t you call me a pervert? I’ll show you a real pervert today.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan still wanted to scold him, but very quickly, she realized that she couldn’t.

… the following five thousand words were omitted, please YY..

s.h.i.+ Mengwan laid on the bed with her eyes wide open. There wasn’t a part of her body that wasn’t sore, and there wasn’t a part that wasn’t uncomfortable.

It was a feeling that made her even more uncomfortable than the first time. Her body was like a building block that had been dismantled. It was difficult for her to even raise her hand.

The sheets under her body were already in a mess. She felt very uncomfortable, but she couldn’t even move to the bathroom.

The man beside her had already gotten up and went to the bathroom. Very soon, she heard the sound of water coming from inside.

She tried to turn over, but she realized that even such a simple action made her waist feel very uncomfortable.

“Pervert.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan gritted her teeth and gave up on trying to get up.

Footsteps sounded behind her. She closed her eyes and refused to pay attention to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d behind her. However, her body was lifted up by someone at this moment.

“Zhan Haoze.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan only realized how hoa.r.s.e her voice was when she said this. “Enough.”

She couldn’t do it again.

Zhan Haoze carried her directly into the bathroom. He turned on the shower and placed her under it.

The warm water rushed through her body and made her feel much better. Most importantly, she really didn’t have the strength now. If he hadn’t carried her like that, she might not have had the strength to stand still.

But —

“Zhan Haoze, what are your hands doing?”

“Helping you bathe.”

The monotone reply sounded very serious.

Nonsense. s.h.i.+ Mengwan pushed his hand away. “I’ll wash myself.”

“Are you sure you have the strength?”The hidden ridicule in that voice made her angry. She tried hard to stand up, but she almost fell down.

He easily lifted her waist and held her steady. At the same time, he successfully made her body completely lean against his body.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan was both embarra.s.sed and angry. Before she could completely stabilize herself, he lifted her body again.

“Zhan Haoze.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan was shocked. Her voice was filled with pity.

“Just once.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan only realized after a long time that she was happy too early.

This time, it wasn’t just once. It was clearly many times.

The next day was the fifth day of the New Year. s.h.i.+ Mengwan spent it in bed. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, she was still in bed.

All the way until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, for an entire three days, s.h.i.+ Mengwan spent the rest of her time in the bathroom, except for basic meals. She took a shower, and the rest of her time was spent in that particular bed that she had specially made for comfort.

Zhan Haoze was like a madman. In these three days, apart from eating and sleeping, he almost never stopped.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan had already given up struggling and resisting.

The alarm clock rang. It was set by s.h.i.+ Mengwan. Other people could go to work after the 15th of the first lunar month, but she couldn’t.

But it was very difficult for her to remember the current situation.

As soon as the blanket was lifted, she could see the marks on her body. She gritted her teeth and cursed Zhan Haoze in her heart again. Then, she gave up on getting up.

She closed her eyes and forced herself to ignore the feeling in her body.

She didn’t even dare to say that Zhan Haoze was forcing her. After all, if she were to say that he was forcing her, Zhan Haoze had plenty of ways to make her willingly do it.

He had indeed done it. He had used all means to make her beg for mercy. —

s.h.i.+ Mengwan shook off the images in her mind. Any image that came to her mind would make her feel ashamed.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan reached out to look for her phone. Her phone had been switched off by Zhan Haoze for the past few days.

She turned on her phone. She had dozens of unread text messages and dozens of missed calls

Except for one that belonged to Su Qingsang, the rest were all calls from home and Xiao Qi.

It didn’t matter if s.h.i.+ Mengwan didn’t return Su Qingsang’s call for the time being, but she couldn’t ignore Mother s.h.i.+’s call.

Just as she was about to give s.h.i.+ Mengwan a call, she remembered her current state. In her current state, if she opened her mouth, her mother would definitely hear that something was wrong. She thought about it and decided to contact her family later.

It didn’t matter if s.h.i.+ Mengwan called her later, but looking at the dozen or so Xiao Qi’s calls and the text messages he sent, s.h.i.+ Mengwan felt that something was wrong.

After thinking for a while, s.h.i.+ Mengwan called him back.

“Xiao Qi.” As soon as she called him, s.h.i.+ Mengwan realized that something was wrong.

“Is it Mengwan?” Xiao Qi picked up the phone almost immediately. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan tried to make her voice sound normal, but she had been screaming so hard these days that her voice was almost hoa.r.s.e.

“Your voice doesn’t sound good. Are you really fine?”

“I’m fine.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan shook her head and swallowed her saliva. “I’m really fine, but I might have caught a cold.”

“So you’ve been sick these days?”

Xiao Qi’s words made s.h.i.+ Mengwan not know how to reply. She paused for a while and cleared her throat. “Yes, I became sick the day I came back.”

Because she was lying, her words made her feel especially guilty.

Xiao Qi couldn’t tell she was lying, but he could tell that she sounded weak. “Is it serious? How is it now? Have you taken your medicine? I heard that your voice is very hoa.r.s.e. Are you coughing? Do you need me to take you to the doctor?”

A series of caring words touched s.h.i.+ Mengwan, but it was only touching.

“It’s okay. I’ll be fine in a couple of days after I take my medicine.”

“Sorry, I’m being rude.” Xiao Qi lowered his voice on the other end of the phone. “If you don’t want me to visit you, can I call an ambulance for you? Your coice doesn’t sound right.”

“It’s really okay.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan shook her head. After realizing that Xiao Qi couldn’t see her, she tried to raise her voice again. “I guess it’s been a long time since I’ve been sick, so a sudden cold is a bit much. I’ve taken my medicine, and I’ll be fine after a nap.”

“But you’ve been sick for a few days, right?” Xiao Qi paused, “You know? When you didn’t pick up my call for these past few days, I thought you didn’t want to see me.”

“Xiao Qi?”

“I thought you ran away halfway through the movie that day because I wasn’t your ideal type, and you were planning to reject me in this way.”

“That’s not what I meant.” Xiao Qi was indeed not her ideal type, but she didn’t want to hurt him. “I’m sorry, Xiao Qi. I really had something to do that day –”

“You mean I still have a chance, right?”

“Xiao Qi.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan didn’t want to lie to him. She knew very well that Zhan Haoze had left and returned, and she was entangled with him again. She didn’t have a right to start things with Xiao Qi now.

“It’s okay. If you’re not ready, I can give you time.”

“…”s.h.i.+ Mengwan didn’t know what to say.

“You know what? I’ve seen you before.” Xiao Qi’s words stunned s.h.i.+ Mengwan. She had no impression of him.

“Speaking of which, you’re kind of a celebrity in our town. I’ve seen you before.” Xiao Qi sighed on the other end of the phone. “I knew you forgot about me, but I didn’t forget about you.”

“Xiao Qi.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan couldn’t react when he said this.

“Okay, I’m not asking you to be burdened. Take good care of yourself. I’ll ask you out when you’re better, okay?”

“…”s.h.i.+ Mengwan was still thinking about how to reject Xiao Qi when a big hand suddenly appeared on her waist. She was shocked. If it weren’t for Xiao Qi on the other side of the phone, she would have screamed by now.

Even so, she took a deep breath.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Qi could tell that something was wrong from her voice. “Don’t tell me you’re not even willing to give me this opportunity?”

“No.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s body was lifted up by Zhan Haoze. He easily held her in his arms. She was naked, but he was wearing clothes.

His hand was holding her waist. At this moment, her big hand was moving down her waist.

“You –” Her eyes full of blame, she glared at Zhan Haoze.

“So you’re willing to give me this chance?”

Zhan Haoze was unmoved. He turned his face and kissed her cheek.

She didn’t know where he had gone this morning, but his lips were very cold.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan grabbed his hand to stop him from doing anything, and at the same time, she had to divert her attention to Xiao Qi’s phone call.

“Xiao Qi, I’m… I’m very sleepy. I want to sleep –”

“It’s okay. I’ve said that I’ll contact you when you’re better.” Xiao Qi’s voice sounded cheerful.

Thinking that Xiao Qi was going to hang up, s.h.i.+ Mengwan replied carelessly. However, Xiao Qi added one more sentence.

“You didn’t let me come to see you, so you wasted my chance to be nice to you.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan was stunned for a moment. Xiao Qi laughed on the other side of the phone. “I’m not lying to you. My culinary skills are pretty good. You’re sick now. I originally wanted to come over and cook some food.”

“Xiao Qi.”

“Okay, I’m joking. Next time. Next time, if you don’t mind, I’ll cook for you.”

“Okay — ah.” s.h.i.+ Mengwan felt Zhan Haoze’s hand on that soft spot. She tried hard to make her voice sound normal. “Then, next time.”

“Okay, next time.” Xiao Qi was satisfied, since it meant that he still had a chance. “Then you have some good rest. See you later.”

“Okay. See… you later.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan was in a difficult position. Almost as soon as she hung up the phone, she immediately turned around to look at Zhan Haoze.

She didn’t care about the weakness of her body. She pulled Zhan Haoze’s hand away. The eyes that glared at him were full of resentment.

“Zhan Haoze, are you done?”

Her voice was hoa.r.s.e, and her body was weak. These few simple movements were enough to make her gasp for breath, especially her waist, which felt uncomfortable and sour.

Zhan Haoze stopped moving. His eyes deep, as if there was a hidden storm in them, he stared at her face.

“You want to meet Xiao Qi next time? You want to eat his food?”

“You eavesdrop on other people’s phone calls?”

“This is eavesdropping?”

Xiao Qi said it so loudly, so why did he need to eavesdrop?

“Scoundrel.”

“I thought you already knew.” Zhan Haoze’s big hand was on her waist, and the threat in his eyes was obvious.

“Shameless.”

Zhan Haoze pulled her waist closer again. The distance between the two of them was less than five centimeters.

“Do you believe that I can be more shameless?”

Of course, she believed it. She had fully felt it over the past few days.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan gritted her teeth and tried to move her body back a little.

“Zhan Haoze, what do you want?”

His long and narrow eyes carrying a hint of gloominess, Zhan Haoze stared at her face for a long while.

“Stay away from Xiao Qi.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan almost laughed out of anger. “Why should I?”

Zhan Haoze looked at her appearance. The past few days had been too much. She looked a little haggard, but it didn’t fade her beauty.

On the contrary, apart from her beauty, there was a touching sort of feeling.

Zhan Haoze approached her again and sneered.

“Believe it or not, I’ll transfer him to the South Africa branch?”

“…”s.h.i.+ Mengwan was stunned. She didn’t understand. Zhan Haoze added.

“Our company doesn’t have a branch in South Africa, but I think Xiao Qi doesn’t mind being the first person.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“Threatening? It’s okay if you think so, but I think this is a kind reminder.”

His eyes full of malice, Zhan Haoze reached out and pinched her chin. “If you don’t want to hurt him, you should know what to do.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She bit her lips with hatred and raised her head to glare at Zhan Haoze.

“Zhan Haoze, don’t go too far.”

After saying this, she even felt that it was ridiculous. She didn’t only know how far he had gone today.

“Zhan Haoze.” She forced herself to calm down. “Tell me, what do I have to do for you to let me go?”
