Chapter 678: You’ve Fallen In Love With Him

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

Shi Mengwan’s body was leaning against the door. Wan Xianyang was outside, and Zhan Haoze was inside.

She was a little confused. Her only thought was that she couldn’t let these two meet.

She turned around and looked at Zhan Haoze’s approaching body. She was a little nervous.

“What... What do you want?”

After asking this question, Shi Mengwan realized how stupid her question was. She felt like biting her tongue off.

“Zhan Haoze, go to the bathroom and hide for a while.”

Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes and his body not moving at all, he looked at her.

“Zhan Haoze.”

There was a knock on the door again. Shi Mengwan’s eyes were somewhat anxious. She started to reach out to push him. However, considering that he was injured, she didn’t use too much strength.

Zhan Haoze suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head and kissed her lips heavily.

Shi Mengwan sucked in a breath of cold air, but he took the opportunity to forcefully plunder her.

It seemed like he hadn’t kissed her like this for a long time. Zhan Haoze was moved and couldn’t restrain himself.

His kiss had always been irresistible to her. It didn’t take long before she was completely immersed in his kiss.

His hands wrapped around the back of her waist and slowly moved upwards..

There were a few knocks on the door, and Shi Mengwan recovered from Zhan Haoze’s kiss.

She pushed hard, and Zhan Haoze took two steps back. Shi Mengwan stood and adjusted her breathing. “Zhan Haoze, if you’re planning to let others know that you’re with me now, you can continue.”

Zhan Haoze didn’t continue. He looked deeply at Shi Mengwan, then finally nodded, turning around, and entered the bathroom.

Shi Mengwan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Zhan Haoze would continue regardless. After all, in this foreign country, not many people knew them.

Taking a deep breath, she turned around to open the door. Wan Xianyang, who was outside the door, smiled when he saw her. He handed a bouquet of flowers to her with a faint smile on his face.

“Congratulations.”

“You –” Shi Mengwan looked at the bouquet of flowers, but she wasn’t in a hurry to receive it. Indicating for her to accept the flowers, Wan Xianyang took a step forward.

“What? You passed the semi-finals and entered the finals. Isn’t it worth being happy about?”

“Thank you.” Shi Mengwan took the flowers. Wan Xianyang looked at her face and his gaze fell on her body. Her clothes were slightly messy, and one wouldn’t be able to tell if one didn’t look carefully.

His gaze moved up to the other party’s lips. Wan Xianyang narrowed his eyes slightly. It only lasted for an instant before a smile appeared on his face.

“Why? Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

It wasn’t very convenient. Shi Mengwan looked at the bouquet of flowers in her hand but didn’t refuse.

“Please come in.”

“You don’t have to be so polite.”

Wan Xianyang entered the door and his gaze quickly swept across the room. He didn’t see anyone.

Finally, he looked in the direction of the bathroom and didn’t make any unnecessary movements. Instead, he sat down on the sofa in the room.

“Oh right, you’ve passed the semi-finals. The next round should be the finals, right? I heard that the two of you are going to work alone in isolation?”

“You even know about that?” Shi Mengwan was indeed a little surprised.

“I have a friend on the organizing committee, so I have to ask one more question.”Wan Xianyang looked at her with a cautious expression. “You won’t be angry, right?”

“No.” This competition wasn’t a secret. In order to ensure its fairness, the officials had already announced the procedure.

“Are you going there in the afternoon? Why don’t I send you there?”

“No need.” Shi Mengwan rejected his offer without thinking. “I’ve brought my assistant here. She has arranged a car. When the time comes, the few of us will go together.”

“Alright then.” Wan Xianyang looked at her. “How many days are you going to be there? I’ll come to pick you up and celebrate for you. Is that alright?”

“I don’t know what the results will be yet. It’s too early to plan for a celebration.”

In such a competition with so many experts, Shi Mengwan didn’t dare to think that she could get into the top three. She was already very happy to be able to enter the semi-finals.

“I have confidence in you. You will definitely get a very good ranking.”Wan Xianyang was much more confident in her. “You might even get first place.”

“Don’t joke around.”

Shi Mengwan looked at the list of people who came to participate in this competition, especially those who were in the top ten. She even paid attention to it today. Masters wouldn’t come to such a competition, but there were many rookies with good results.

She just had a small studio. It was already her luck to be able to enter the top ten.

“Don’t think like that. In my heart, you’re number one.”

Wan Xianyang’s words were equivalent to sweet talk. Shi Mengwan didn’t respond. “Do you have anything else?”

“Are you ordering me to leave?”

“No, I still have to pack my things. Xiao Ji and the others will come to look for me later.”

“Then you’re still chasing me away.”

“Wan Xianyang...”

“Alright, I’m leaving, alright?”

Wan Xianyang stood up as he spoke. He paused when he passed Shi Mengwan. “I won’t disturb you if you need to pack your things. However, I still hope to have the opportunity to celebrate with you.”

“Thank you.”

Wan Xianyang continued to walk out. When he walked past the bathroom door, he glanced over there, as if he didn’t mean to.

Shi Mengwan’s heart was in a knot. She took a few steps forward and opened the door first.

Wan Xianyang had already walked to the door. When he saw her actions, he smiled helplessly. “You really can’t wait to chase me away. I’m really hurt by your actions.”

Shi Mengwan froze, but Wan Xianyang moved closer at this moment. “In order to calm my hurt heart, why don’t you give me a comforting kiss?”

Shi Mengwan was shocked by his actions, but at this moment, Wan Xianyang suddenly smiled. “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Go for it. Have a good competition. I wish you a good ranking.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Shi Mengwan’s expression wasn’t as casual as before. Even if Wan Xianyang had expressed his intention to leave, her eyes were still somewhat guarded.

That look made Wan Xianyang sigh in his heart. This bestie of his bestie really wasn’t easy to get close to.

However —

When he stepped out of the room, he once again unintentionally looked in the direction of the bathroom. Why did he feel that the door seemed to have moved just now?

However, before he could see clearly, Shi Mengwan had already quickly closed the door.

After Wan Xianyang left, Shi Mengwan breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she turned around, she saw Zhan Haoze coming out of the bathroom.

He stood there with a cold face and looked at her expressionlessly.

Shi Mengwan felt a sense of guilt when he looked at her, but it was only for a moment and she didn’t want to bother with him anymore.

Why? He could get engaged to another woman and still be intimate with her. She only had one suitor and she felt guilty?

She passed Zhan Haoze and was about to continue packing when Zhan Haoze grabbed her arm.

He turned her around and pressed her against the wall behind her.

“Zhan Haoze –”

She cried out. Zhan Haoze didn’t give her the chance to speak again. He lowered his head and kissed her. It was a fierce and rough kiss.

Shi Mengwan’s lips were hurting from being crushed by him. She pushed him, but he didn’t move at all.

She was anxious and wanting to attack his wound, she placed her hand on his abdomen, but when she really touched that area, she put her hand down again.

This pause undoubtedly gave Zhan Haoze another chance. Allowing her to be in the same position as him, he easily lifted her body up.

Biting at the two pieces of soft flesh, he sealed her lips again.

Shi Mengwan felt the pain and turned around to bite him. She used even more strength than Zhan Haoze, biting down just like that. Moreover, it was with such force that his lips were bitten open by her.

Both of them tasted the taste of blood at the same time.

The scene in front of them was very similar. Shi Mengwan thought of the last time she went on a blind date with Xiao Qi, and Zhan Haoze was also like this. historical

Her heart was filled with hatred, and she pushed him forcefully without caring about anything else. Zhan Haoze’s wound on his abdomen was pushed by her. He winced in pain and took a step back.

Shi Mengwan used this opportunity to retreat from his embrace and stand on the other side.

Her chest rose and fell violently, and her lips were still stained with blood. Her hair was a little messy, and the front of her clothes was more than half slanted.

She looked like she was in a miserable state, but she still appeared beautiful. Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes and instinctively took a step forward.

Shi Mengwan, on the other hand, took a step back. She looked at the person in front of her with a burning gaze. “Zhan Haoze, you can’t do this every time.”

Her heart was beating a little fast. She bit her lip, and the expression on her face carried a hint of blame and bitterness at the same time.

“I’m your girlfriend, right? If not, what right do you have to treat me like this?”

“If I’m not your girlfriend, what right do you have to treat me like this?”

She closed her eyes and forced herself not to admit defeat in front of Zhan Haoze. “Zhan Haoze, can you show me some respect? Or in your heart, I’m just that kind of frivolous woman. You can do whatever you want?”

Her rather righteous words made Zhan Haoze a little stunned, but Shi Mengwan didn’t want to bother with him anymore.

“Zhan Haoze, I’m going to the organizing committee to prepare the venue for the competition this afternoon. I won’t be here for the next few days. See yourself out.”

She turned around to pack her luggage, but stopped after taking two steps.

“Zhan Haoze, I think you actually don’t like me that much, right? It’s just a possessive desire. If it’s not me, it can be another woman. To you, there’s no difference.”

To him, she was just an ornament in his life.

But to her, he was everything.

A relationship that didn’t treat her well was destined to put her at a disadvantage. Her back looked lonely. This side of her was rarely seen.

No matter when, she gave people the feeling that she was optimistic and cheerful.

Zhan Haoze stared at her back. Finally, when her hand touched the suitcase, he stepped forward and pulled her back into his arms.

“I didn’t.” Zhan Haoze looked at her and instinctively wanted to explain. In his heart, he had never seen her as a casual woman.

“Nothing?”

“I’m not.” Zhan Haoze said it again. This time, he sounded more serious than before.

Shi Mengwan looked at him and inexplicably understood what he meant. He said that he wasn’t possessive.

“Are you trying to say that you like me?” Shi Mengwan looked at him and went back to yesterday’s question. “Then do you take me as your girlfriend?”

Zhan Haoze looked at her face and nodded gently with an extremely serious expression.

Shi Mengwan looked at him. “Then, when we go back, can you publicize our relationship?”

The question returned to the original point, but Shi Mengwan was particularly concerned about this question.

If a man couldn’t even let a woman stand by his side publicly and let everyone know that she was his girlfriend, what was the point of having such a man?

“No.” Zhan Haoze rejected her without thinking. There was still much danger lurking around him. This injury was just a warning.

Shi Mengwan suddenly smiled, as if she wasn’t surprised by the answer. She pulled her hand out of Zhan Haoze’s hand bit by bit.

“Zhan Haoze, you really are a bastard.”

Without looking at him anymore, Shi Mengwan turned around and went to pack her luggage. There was nothing to pack. She was outside anyway.

In less than twenty minutes, she had packed everything. She pulled her luggage and went past Zhan Haoze to find Xiao Ji and the others next door.

Wanting to block Shi Mengwan’s path, Zhan Haoze took a step to the side.

Shi Mengwan looked at him coldly. “Zhan Haoze, this competition is very important. Please move aside.”

“Wanwan.” Zhan Haoze didn’t know what to say, but there was something going on that he couldn’t let her know. “It was me just now...”

“You don’t have to explain.”She could roughly guess what he wanted to say when she saw his conflicted expression. Unfortunately, she didn’t want to hear it.

“The problem between us isn’t your actions just now. It’s your actions and your attitude towards me.”

“I don’t mean to belittle you. It’s just that right now is really not the time to make it public.”

That’s right, it’s not the time, it’s just not the time. Then when is it the time? When can it be?

Does he have an answer? Probably not. She felt tired and didn’t want to continue. “Forget it. You’ll never understand.”

She glanced at him. “I’m going to the competition. Help yourself.”

Pulling her suitcase, Shi Mengwan left the room without looking back.

The organizing committee had really put in a lot of effort this time. The venue for the finals was actually an ancient castle.

The ancient castle was provided by the president of a company that was one of the sponsors this time. There were one, two, or three designers who had the opportunity to work for this company. It had always been a world-class clothing brand.

Such an opportunity was an excellent opportunity for all the contestants.

However, Shi Mengwan didn’t have such a plan. Her goal wasn’t even to promote her studio’s reputation. After all, if one wanted to talk about fame, she already had her own regular clients in Lin City.

She came here just to prove her ability. To prove that she could do it.

The ten points for the competition were arranged in the rooms on the first and second floors of the villa.

Except for special circumstances, all the contestants weren’t allowed to leave these few days, but all the electronic equipment in the room was complete.

Shi Mengwan also received the theme of the final competition as she entered the castle: First Love.

When she got the title, Shi Mengwan felt Xiao Ji and Tong Yan looking at her worriedly.

“Sister Shi.” Xiao Ji looked as if the sky was falling. “You, you, you, you’ve never been in love before. Why did you choose such a theme?”

The previous Sweet theme was a little better. Sweet didn’t just refer to love, but family, friendship, and the warmth of society as well. In a person’s life, there will always be times when the feelings make you sweet, right?

But this First Love theme? For some reason, Xiao Ji’s face was filled with worry.

Shi Mengwan glanced at Xiao Ji and lightly knocked on her head. “Alright, think about how you can help me. Let’s go.”

The room that Shi Mengwan assigned was on the second floor. There was a large balcony there. There was a sofa and a coffee table on the balcony.

Looking out from the balcony, one could see the beautiful scenery in the distance and the well-maintained garden downstairs.

Shi Mengwan couldn’t help but sigh. This sponsor really put in a lot of money. She sat on the sofa and looked at the beautiful scenery outside. She wasn’t in a hurry to draw.

Her first love?

Her first love was Zhan Haoze. But where did this first love start?

Now? Or more than ten years ago?

She picked up the black tea prepared by the organizing committee. Shi Mengwan’s heart flew back to the year when she was twelve.

She and Zhan Haoze relied on each other for survival. When they met, it was the most embarrassing moment for each other.

She was actually a well-behaved girl. In the past, Shi Mengwan, who had been strictly educated by mother Shi, almost didn’t dare to imagine what kind of relationship she would have with a boy who was like a hooligan one day.

But now, not only did it happen, but it happened so unexpectedly.

They were each other’s comfort and reliance. She believed that if it weren’t for Zhan Haoze, she would have admitted defeat and gone home long ago.

She also knew that if it weren’t for her, her Dear Brother at that time wouldn’t have taken good care of her. He would have fought everywhere, and even if he was injured, he would have just treated his wounds haphazardly.

She had once thought that if her Dear Brother was willing, she could accompany him forever. However, her Dear Brother didn’t give her that chance. The heavens didn’t give her that chance.

After going around in circles, they could be considered to have met now. However, some things had already changed.

Shi Mengwan thought of a certain scene and suddenly stood up. She walked to the table and took out a pen and paper.

When Xiao Ji and Tong Yan settled in, they saw Shi Mengwan, who was already fully immersed in her work.

She lowered her head and drew very seriously. The room was facing west. The sunlight shone in from the huge balcony, dyeing Shi Mengwan’s body with a layer of gold.

Xiao Ji was shocked by the scene. He couldn’t help but take out his phone and quietly took a few photos of Shi Mengwan.

After taking the photos, she logged into Shi Mengwan’s Weibo. Song Seaching Studio didn’t have a Weibo account, but Shi Mengwan did.

Her Weibo account was mostly managed by herself. Occasionally, when the company had some activities, she would ask Xiao Ji to post some activities.

The accompanying photo was the photo Xiao Ji had just posted. She even added a nine-square grid.

After the picture was posted, she glanced at Tong Yan. At this moment, Tong Yan also had some thoughts. He went into his room to find a place to sit down and took out his tools.

Xiao Ji looked at the two of them and became in charge of logistics.

..

Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. Shi Mengwan’s main color this time was green. It was a faint green.

What was first love? It was youth, it was budding, and it was a momentary move of the heart. It was like a bud that had just sprouted in spring, and it had just emerged.

She still remembered the feelings she had at that time, the pain, entanglement, and pain she felt when she left her Dear Brother.

But more than that, it was joy and beauty. When she recalled the past, a smile instinctively appeared on her face.

Shi Mengwan’s thoughts were like this. She had designed a total of three pieces of clothing. This was also the requirement of the competition. Every designer had to submit at least two pieces of work.

Shi Mengwan, on the other hand, had drawn three pieces in one go. The main focus was a dress.

She had used organza as the main fabric. It was a little hard, because she did not know how to fall in love, the feelings of the young man and woman were a little stiff.

But it was also decorated with some light green leaves.

First love was beautiful, but there were too many things that could distract people. First love couldn’t only be you. The two of them had too many obstacles preventing them from being together.

If they broke up, there would be too many external reasons. She was very satisfied with Shi Mengwan’s set of works.

She poured all of her feelings into it.

After the finished product was produced, Shi Mengwan submitted the design and the sketch together. The rest of the matter was out of her control.

Everyone who submitted their work could play around the castle for the rest of the day.

She let herself relax and played seriously in the castle with Tong Yan and Xiao Ji for a day.

Finally, when it was time to announce the results, the ten finalists were all experts.

Shi Mengwan saw the other nine works on the day of the announcement. She had to admit that the specifications of the competition were indeed impressive.

When the final ranking was announced, a pink dress designed by a local French designer won first place.

The second place went to an Italian designer, and the third place went to a Hong Kong designer.

The colors used by the other party were quite bold. The design theme was just like first love, brave and fearless.

When Shi Mengwan saw those works, she knew that she shouldn’t be in the top three. After all, she had too many worries.

But what surprised her was that she actually won the most special design award.

She was in fourth place. Shi Mengwan was satisfied. After the award ceremony ended, the other designers came to congratulate her.

The organizers and the organizing committee held a celebratory dinner in the castle that night. All the designers who came to attend had to wear the theme dress they had designed.

Shi Mengwan wore the green dress. She looked like a forest elf.

When she entered the banquet hall, she attracted a lot of attention. There were many local fashion brands from Paris at the banquet.

There were clothes, bags, jewelry, and perfume. It was also the first time Shi Mengwan had the chance to meet so many legendary people.

She was okay. She had been to the Su family and Huo Jinyao’s company’s banquets a few times before.

It was the first time that Xiao Ji and Tong Yan had come to such a place. The two girls didn’t know where to put their hands and feet.

Shi Mengwan felt like laughing. Just as she wanted to comfort them, the sponsor manager, Dickson, waved at her from the other end and asked her to go over.

Shi Mengwan could only let Xiao Ji and Tong Yan find a place to stay and not run around. She went in Dickson’s direction.

“Shi.” Shi Mengwan didn’t come over with an English name. They all called her by her surname. Dickson looked at Shi Mengwan with a subtle smile on his face.

“I’ll introduce you to someone. He’s also from China.”
