Chapter 641: Chapter 641 - Find Someone Worthy To Fall In Love With

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

Su Qingsang didn’t want to interfere with Shi Mengwan’s feelings, but after observing for a while, she really felt that Zhan Haoze wasn’t worthy of Shi Mengwan’s constant waiting.

Putting aside the fact that he had brought a woman out to eat alone today, since that might not be a big deal; however, the fact that Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei were engaged was a fact.

On the way back today, she also asked Huo Jinyao, who told her some simple things.

The situation in the Zhan family was more complicated than the Huo family’s. The Huo family had Old Master Huo in charge, although Huo Mingmei and Huo Mingliang both had their own agendas.

But whether it was Old Master Huo or Huo Mingguang, they could suppress them. The company was divided into different departments, and everyone had their own things to do.

Huo Jinyao alone could suppress those people. However, the situation at the Zhan family was very complicated.

Besides the fact that Zhan Haoze didn’t have that kind of interest in Shi Mengwan, he had also completely forgotten about Shi Mengwan. Even if he didn’t forget, if he really got together with Shi Mengwan, Shi Mengwan’s life wouldn’t be easy.

Thinking of this, Su Qingsang became more and more worried.

“Mengwan, there are some people who live in a complicated environment and a complicated upbringing. If you continue to be like this, I think you will have a hard time.”

Shi Mengwan was still so young, so there was no need for her to waste her time on Zhan Haoze. It wasn’t like she wasn’t wanted by anyone.

Over the years, there wasn’t a shortage of people who tried to pursue her. Not to mention others, just Huo Jinyao’s childhood friend, Wan Xianyang, wasn’t bad.

The most important thing was for her to learn to let go of the past, accept other men, and welcome a new life.

There was silence. Just as Shi Mengwan was about to speak, Zhan Haoze’s hands had already wrapped around her waist. She took a deep breath and tried hard not to expose herself.

“I got it. Thank you, Qingsang.”

“Why are you being so polite with me?” Su Qingsang really wanted Shi Mengwan to be happy. “Mengwan, find a good, right man. You’re worth it.”

Shi Mengwan didn’t say anything. The two hands on her body became more and more unruly.

She had no choice but to quickly end the conversation with Su Qingsang. “My guest is here. I’ll hang up first.”

“Okay. Come to Rong City to play when you have time. I miss you so much.”

Su Qingsang’s personality was a little cold in the past. She kept a distance from everyone. Her relationship with Shi Mengwan was the best.

“Okay.” Shi Mengwan’s voice faded into the beeping of the phone.

Her clothes had been pushed up her chest. Her body was turned around. She didn’t hug his neck like before. Instead, her hands were placed in front of his chest, and her expression showed resistance.

Zhan Haoze stopped his actions and stared at her face.

“Are you angry?”

Shi Mengwan looked at Zhan Haoze. Her heart was stifled. She was a little angry, not at him, but at herself.

Since she was twelve years old, she had been looking forward to reuniting with her big brother because of the warmth of her youth.

She understood everything Su Qingsang said. But understanding was one thing, and doing it was another.

This man had become her obsession, and she was unable to let it go, nor could she let it go.

If she could withdraw, she would have done so when she found out that Zhan Haoze still had Chen Feifei by his side.

Realizing that she was actually distracted again, Zhan Haoze bit her lip again.

Shi Mengwan felt pain and suddenly pushed him away.

“Zhan Haoze.”

She really couldn’t continue like this. Shi Mengwan turned her face away and didn’t look at him.

“I want to go back to Lin City.”

“Okay.” Zhan Haoze nodded. His uncharacteristic attitude stunned her for a moment.

“After these few days, I’ll go back with you.”

“I want to go back now.”

Su Qingsang came to Qing City. She didn’t want to run into Su Qingsang. Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shi Mengwan. Suddenly, he went forward and picked her up.

Before she could react, he carried her to the bed.

Shi Mengwan didn’t manage to leave. When she woke up in the morning, Zhan Haoze had already left.

He had been very busy in Lin City before. After coming to Qing City, he became even busier. In Lin City, when he was very busy, she had her own things to do, such as going to the studio and drawing pictures.

However, after coming here and staying in this big villa, she simply felt like a bird that had lost its wings.

After getting up, not in a hurry to go downstairs for breakfast, Shi Mengwan casually put on a coat and went to the balcony.

From here, she could see the lake behind. The scenery was quite good. Not long after she sat down on the sofa, she actually saw Su Qingsang.

Shi Mengwan was shocked and wanted to stand up without thinking. However, she felt that her movements were too conspicuous.

She was now on the second floor. Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were taking a walk by the lake in the distance. She saw the two of them walking in this direction and was so alarmed that she quickly got up and went into the room.

She closed the curtains and stood by the window to look downstairs. Su Qingsang was already showing signs of pregnancy and her lower abdomen was slightly bulging.

She was dressed in a pregnant woman’s outfit and had a content smile on her face. Huo Jinyao walked beside her and the two of them whispered to each other from time to time.

She was worrying too much. Su Qingsang wouldn’t have noticed them at all, much less her.

The smile on Su Qingsang’s face made Shi Mengwan envious. The hand that she held with Huo Jinyao made her yearn even more.

It was impossible for her and Zhan Haoze to appear in front of everyone. He had a fiancée. No matter what, she wouldn’t be the woman standing in front of him.

Shi Mengwan’s mood fell to rock bottom. She didn’t have time to recover from the strange situation before her body was hugged by someone.

Zhan Haoze was actually at home today. He followed her gaze and looked out of the window.

“Do you want to go down and say hello?”

A warm breath brushed against her neck. Trying to escape from his control, she shrank her neck. However, her body was turned around and pressed against the glass of the sliding door on the balcony.

“Zhan Haoze.”

“Don’t you need to? After all, you two are good friends, best friends. Isn’t it appropriate to say hello?”

“Zhan Haoze.” Her voice imploring, she called his name softly, “Don’t do this.”

She absolutely, absolutely didn’t want Su Qingsang to see this side of her.

Don’t do what? He narrowed his eyes and asked her in a low voice. She was only wearing a coat, and he easily took it off.

She was still wearing the nightgown from yesterday, and the thin fabric was easily torn into pieces by him.

The sound of his breathing was beside her ears. Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were downstairs. She felt extremely ashamed.

She bit her lips hard, but she couldn’t resist Zhan Haoze’s dominance. As he took her clothes off, a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

For the first time in her life, she realized in her heart that this man in front of her really wasn’t the big brother she remembered.

..

Su Qingsang had no idea that her good friend had come to the villa not far ahead of them.

The weather in Qing City had been pretty good these past few days. The environment here was nice as well. It was refreshing to stroll around. Of course, the most important thing was that Huo Jinyao was by her side.

She was already four months pregnant. Her belly was slightly bigger than that of a normal pregnant woman who was four months pregnant. After all, they were twins, so it would be different.

Su Qingsang walked to the osmanthus tree in front of them and sat down on the rocking chair. The sun wasn’t very bright in this season, and it gave people a very comfortable feeling.

“You went on a trip just to take a walk in your own neighborhood?”

Huo Jinyao couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the look of enjoyment on Su Qingsang’s face. She was really too easily satisfied, wasn’t she?

“Can’t I? The environment here is pretty good. I think it’s quite comfortable to stay here.”

“I was going to take you to Luoshan Park in Qing City today. How about this afternoon?”

“Later.” Su Qingsang blinked her eyes. “I just want to sit under the osmanthus tree for a while and enjoy the breeze. I want to enjoy the peace.”

“Sure. If you want to enjoy the peace, I’ll accompany you.”

Huo Jinyao nodded. He was supposed to accompany Su Qingsang. Of course, she could do whatever she wanted.

Su Qingsang smiled. The so-called trip didn’t necessarily mean going somewhere and seeing the scenery there.

It would be good to change places and slow down to enjoy this sort of leisurely time without doing anything.

She raised her hand and was about to stretch when her hand suddenly stopped halfway.

She blinked, as if she was a little scared.

“What’s wrong?” Ever since Su Qingsang got pregnant, every reaction from her would make Huo Jinyao nervous.

Afraid that she would feel uncomfortable again, he looked at Su Qingsang nervously.

“He’s moving.”

“Huh?”

This time, it was Huo Jinyao’s turn to freeze.

“Who?”

“Him.” Su Qingsang was a doctor. Of course, she knew that the fetus would move after four months of pregnancy, but this was the first time she felt it. It was a very magical feeling.

Su Qingsang looked at her abdomen, retracted her hand, and gently placed it on it.

“He moved again.”

Huo Jinyao looked at her and couldn’t help but put his hand on it as well. He was extremely nervous and stared at his palm with a pious expression.

But after they waited for a long time, there was no more movement.

“Why isn’t he moving anymore?”

“I don’t know.” Su Qingsang laughed and teased him on purpose. “Maybe, maybe, maybe it’s because you didn’t greet him?”

Was that so? Huo Jinyao frowned slightly. He cleared his throat and suddenly looked a little nervous.

“Hi, how are you? I’m Dad.”

That serious expression made Su Qingsang burst into laughter. She didn’t have time to laugh. Huo Jinyao was taken aback by the sudden movement in her abdomen.

“He’s moving. He’s really moving.”

“Silly.”

Su Qingsang smiled and placed her hand on Huo Jinyao’s palm. Her expression softened as she felt the occasional movement in her abdomen.

Huo Jinyao retracted his hand and held Su Qingsang’s hand instead.

“Qingsang?”

“Yes?”

“I’ll let Grandpa think about the names of the children, but I’ve thought of two nicknames for them.”

“What?”

“Xiang Xiang, and Nian Nian. Whether they’re boys or girls, these will be the two nicknames.”

Su Qingsang looked at his expression and nodded lightly. “Sure, those are good names.”

“Thank you.”

She understood what he meant, and Huo Jinyao felt grateful. He leaned over and kissed her on the stomach.

Su Qingsang’s heart softened. Looking at the hair on top of Huo Jinyao’s head, she couldn’t help but hug him into her arms.

“I think they’ll know.”

Huo Jinkai, Huo Wushuang. His brother and sister would know how much he missed them, and they would understand. The young Huo Jinyao, his immature actions, and the choices he had to make.

Huo Jinyao didn’t speak. He simply hugged Su Qingsang’s waist tightly and enjoyed the precious silence.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

..

The Luoshan Park in Qing City was built around Luoshan Mountain. However, Luoshan Mountain wasn’t actually a mountain. In ancient times, there was a person called the Luoshan Mountain. He was very talented, but he failed a test ten times in a row.

After that, he decided not to take the test in the Luoshan Mountain. Every day, he would invite a group of literati to his residence to discuss poetry.

He was a hospitable person and attracted many literati to his residence. The more people there were, the smaller the place became. At that time, a member of the staff liked the literati in Luoshan, and specifically built this garden.

Later, when Qing City began to develop, this place became a scenic spot. It was renamed Luoshan Park.

This was a northern garden of great research value, so almost everyone who came to Qing City would come to Luoshan Park to visit.

Su Qingsang had seen many gardens in Jiangnan, but she had never seen such a northern-style garden before. This was her first time.

Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao entered Luoshan Park together. Because it wasn’t a weekend, there weren’t many people here.

There was a maple forest in Luoshan, and the maple leaves would only turn red about half a month later. By then, there would be a lot of tourists.

Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao walked hand in hand on a small road paved with blue-stones.

“The environment here is really nice.”

“Of course it’s nice,” Huo Jinyao whispered to Su Qingsang. “Qing City has many famous scenic spots. This used to be a large trading hub in the north, so there were a lot of merchants coming and going. There were also a few historical ancient cities here. Although they’ve been developed in the past few years, they’re not well-known. We can slowly walk through them in the next few days.”

“Okay.”

“If you can’t take it, just let me know. We’ll stop to rest.”

Su Qingsang was already pregnant, so she couldn’t be too tired. If she had the energy, she could play for a while longer. If she didn’t, she could go home and rest.

“Don’t worry. You really don’t have to worry about me. I’m not a porcelain doll, why would I be so fragile?”

“Even if you’re a strong woman, in my heart, you’re still just my wife.” He squeezed her hand slightly and said, “A wife who needs my protection.”

Su Qingsang smiled and leaned over to give him a kiss on the cheek.

Luoshan Park was very big, and Su Qingsang was no longer her usual self. By evening, she was already a little overwhelmed.

Huo Jinyao had been keeping an eye on Su Qingsang. Seeing her like this, he immediately stopped her from continuing.

“Let’s go back. If you want to come, we’ll come again tomorrow.”

It was rare for Su Qingsang to not be willful. She nodded and left with Huo Jinyao.

She had wanted to go straight home, but after getting into the car, Su Qingsang suddenly wanted to eat hotpot.

“I don’t come here often, but I know a hotpot restaurant in the ancient city that has been open for a long time. It tastes good too. Let’s eat there.”

“The ancient city? Is that the place you were talking about just now?”

“Yes, there’s a night market inside. After the meal, if you’ve recovered your strength, we can take a look around.”

“Then I’m going.” Su Qingsang loved these old places. Her spirits were lifted, and she felt much less tired.

Huo Jinyao smiled. The chauffeur drove the car to the ancient city. Luoshan Park wasn’t too far from the ancient city.

They arrived in half an hour and booked a private room. Su Qingsang was really tired after walking for half a day. After ordering a lot of food, she only cared about letting her stomach enjoy the delicious food.

She was in charge of eating, and Huo Jinyao was in charge of helping her boil them. On the contrary, he didn’t eat much.

This was a new pleasure that Huo Jinyao had developed after Su Qingsang became pregnant. He especially liked feeding Su Qingsang and hoped that she could eat more.

“Ah, I’m so full.”

Su Qingsang was full. She looked at the remaining half of the ingredients and looked at Huo Jinyao. “It’s a bit of a waste.”

“It’s not a waste. There’s still me.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t mind at all as he put the remaining ingredients into the pot and finished them off.

Su Qingsang supported her chin with one hand as she watched him eat. There was a faint smile in her eyes.

“Don’t we look like an old married couple?”

“No.” Huo Jinyao gave a negative answer without thinking. “We’re not old at all now, so if you want us to be an old married couple, we’ll talk about it when you’re older.”

Su Qingsang loved listening to this sweet talk. The smile on her face became even brighter.

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, they turned to the ancient city. It was more lively at night than during the day.

Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao entered the ancient city. The small shops on both sides were very unique. However, places like this seemed to be the same in all the ancient cities in the country.

Su Qingsang would stop to have a look whenever she encountered something interesting. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t look at it.

There was a shop in front. The owner sold her own cloth and clothes made by herself. She set up a loom in the shop. It was the old-fashioned kind of cotton cloth.

Su Qingsang was very interested in this. There was not only old-fashioned cotton cloth, but also ethnic-style clothes made of this kind of cloth. There were also other fabrics that were very similar to the local ethnic styles.

Su Qingsang was very interested in the ethnic-style clothes that had been placed at the door. She became even more interested when she saw the loom in the shop.

She entered the shop with Huo Jinyao. A middle-aged woman was sitting in front of the loom and weaving. There were also a few shop assistants. When they saw that they had come in, they stood up to greet them.

Su Qingsang looked up and realized that Zhan Haoze was here as well. She was a little surprised.

Qing City was a big city with a population of more than ten million people. It wasn’t easy to bump into him for two days in a row.

“President Huo.”

Zhan Haoze’s eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Huo Jinyao. His subordinate had clearly told him that Huo Jinyao and his wife had gone to Luoshan Park today. Why did they come here?

“President Zhan, what a coincidence.”

Like Su Qingsang, Huo Jinyao felt that it was a little too much of a coincidence. Why did they bump into each other everywhere they went?

He glanced at Zhan Haoze’s side, but there didn’t seem to be anyone else.

“President Zhan is alone?”

“No.”

Upon seeing that the two of them knew each other, the shop assistant who came up to greet them suddenly became interested.

“This gentleman is here with his girlfriend. His girlfriend is very beautiful, and she just picked a set of clothes to try on. You have such a good figure, why don’t you try on two sets?”

Su Qingsang noticed that when the shop assistant mentioned the word girlfriend, Zhan Haoze’s expression was calm, as if he didn’t feel uneasy at all.

She had just persuaded Shi Mengwan yesterday, and today she met Zhan Haoze again. Moreover, she also met him taking a woman out shopping?

The scenery of the ancient city was indeed good, but based on her impression of Chen Feifei, she didn’t think that she would come here to shop.

If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, she really wanted to see who Zhan Haoze’s girlfriend was.

What kind of beautiful woman could make Zhan Haoze abandon a rich young heiress like Chen Feifei and come to accompany her?

“Beauty, what do you think of this set?”

Her face full of eagerness, the shop assistant brought two sets of ethnic-style clothes over. “These were all designed and made by our shop. We are the only one in Qing City. We’ve applied for the copyright. You’re so beautiful, so why don’t you try them on?”

“Sure.”

Su Qingsang didn’t refuse. Although she was pregnant now, the clothes were loose and should be able to be worn.

Most importantly, she had a good friend who was a fashion designer. Shi Mengwan was fond of these unique and exotic ethnic clothes.

She could buy a few sets and send them back to Lin City for Shi Mengwan.

Su Qingsang took the clothes and was about to walk towards the fitting room when the shop assistant signaled her to wait. At this moment, another shop assistant had already walked to the door of the changing room. “The two beauties inside, have you tried on the clothes?”

“I just came in and haven’t finished yet.”

One of the customers responded, but the other one was silent. The shop assistant couldn’t help but glance at Zhan Haoze. In a shop like theirs, because there were so many people coming and going, many people would take away the clothes without trying them when there was a large flow of people, so there were only two changing rooms.

The gentleman’s girlfriend had been in there for a long time, but she didn’t answer now, “Sir, your girlfriend has been in there for a long time. Why is there no movement?”

Zhan Haoze glanced at the shop assistant, and then at Su Qingsang. His expression didn’t look too good. “My girlfriend takes a long time to change her clothes. Is there a problem?”

“No problem, no problem.”

Zhan Haoze’s sudden gloominess made the shop assistant feel a little scared. She didn’t dare to rush him anymore.

Su Qingsang smiled and didn’t mind. “It’s okay, I’ll wait for a while.”

As she spoke, she looked at Zhan Haoze. “There’s no need to rush, President Zhan. We’re just here for a stroll, there’s no need to rush.”

Huo Jinyao stood to the side and narrowed his eyes at Zhan Haoze. His sharp instincts told him that there was something wrong with Zhan Haoze today.

He took a step forward and stood in front of Su Qingsang, then looked at Zhan Haoze.

“Speaking of which, it’s really fate that we encountered President Zhan twice in two days. However, I’m surprised that President Zhan has the time to visit a place like ancient city. If I remember correctly, President Zhan must be busy with a lot of things right now, right?”

“You’re too kind. There’s no end to work. Just like President Huo, didn’t you also put aside your work to accompany your wife out for fun?”

“That’s true.” Huo Jinyao smiled. “Then, can I look forward to the good news from President Zhan? I don’t think President Zhan would mind buying me a drink on the day when his good news is near, right?”

“Of course.”

Zhan Haoze’s expression didn’t change, and his expression was completely calm.

Upon seeing the two of them exchanging glances, the shop assistant couldn’t help but ask Su Qingsang if she still wanted to try on clothes.

At the same time, she looked at Zhan Haoze very directly. His girlfriend tried on clothes for so long, so wasn’t he concerned about her?
