To My Dear Mr. Huo

Shi Mengwan sat there, holding her phone tightly in her hand, her heart beating rapidly.

She tried her best to stay calm, but it was difficult. Love makes people confused, and love makes people faint.

She was dizzy with love and had complete trust and blind belief in Zhan Haoze.

My heart hurt slightly as if someone had stabbed me lightly. She felt a little uncomfortable, put down the phone, and covered her heart.

Every scene and every moment after the reunion with Zhan Haoze came to mind one by one at this time.

She pressed her heart to calm herself down. Shi Mengwan, you are going to participate in the competition now.

Let’s talk about these romantic things until you come back.

When the plane landed, assistant Xiao Ji and designer Tong Yan came to pick her up.

This time she participated in the competition in the name of her studio. Except for herself, she asked Xiao Ji and Tong Yan to come over first to play forward.

"Sister Shi, are you too tired from flying?"

Xiao Ji arrived the day before. She came in advance and arranged a car. Seeing that Shi Mengwan looked bad, he thought she was too tired from the long flight.

"It's okay. How have you been these two days?"

"Not bad." It was Tong Yan who spoke. She had been here for two days and looked around: "It is indeed a fashion capital, and it is quite rewarding."

"Well, it's good to have something to gain. Let's go back to the hotel first."

Shi Mengwan calmed down her emotions in a few words. She's not one, she has more important things to do now.

After getting in the car, Shi Mengwan and Tong Yan talked about the competition again. The venue for this fashion design competition is set in Paris, the fashion capital.

When Tong Yan arrived, many contestants had already arrived. It brings together designers from more than a dozen countries around the world. Among those who came, they had already passed the preliminary round.

Next comes the rematch, the final. Every game has a theme. To complete the work, it must fit the theme of the competition.

Then among these works that fit the theme, the ten that the judges think are the best are selected. Then the finals are held among these ten people. The semi-finals and finals last for half a month. In other words, they will stay in France for half a month.

Shi Mengwan knew these before. Although she didn't know what the next two themes were, she had confidence in herself.

Xiao Ji booked a hotel near the competition venue. Xiao Ji and Tong Yan share a room. Shi Mengwan's room is next to the two.

After entering the door, she motioned for them to go and rest for a while. She wanted to take a bath and change clothes.

When the door to the room closed, Shi Mengwan was the only one left. She finally no longer had to fake her emotions.

Throwing herself on the bed, Shi Mengwan's mood fell to the extreme.

………………

The afternoon after Shi Mengwan arrived, it was time to announce the theme of the semi-finals. After the announcement, all contestants will be given three days to submit their competition entries.

After three days, use one day to vote for the jury, and then announce the list of those who passed the semi-finals. The final submission period is seven days.

The time given to designers is considered short. Therefore, the semi-finals organizing committee does not require contestants to design finished products, but only needs to draw design drawings.

However, the works that need to be submitted in the finals include design drawings, design sources, and finished products.

Of course, all materials needed for the finals will be provided by the organizing committee.

When Shi Mengwan appeared in front of Xiao Ji and Tong Yan again, she was radiant again.

She put on makeup and just went to the organizing committee to fill out a form and get the theme. The theme of this season is sweetness.

Shi Mengwan was a little dizzy when she saw this theme. She can't be sweet at all now.

It's not like she didn't think of calling Zhan Haoze after she came to France. She wanted to question him, what was going on, how could he be engaged to another woman?

But her dignity did not allow her to ask.

Take it back and look at the requirements on the design theme. Shi Mengwan bit her lip.

Is it sweet?

The time at three o'clock was very tense, so tense that Shi Mengwan had no time to think about why Zhan Haoze was engaged to another woman.

She had hardly left her room for the past three days. She just drew pictures, drew pictures, and drew pictures every day.

Three days later, Shi Mengwan handed in the design draft.

Before the judges voted, Shi Mengwan, who was extremely tired, told Tong Yan and Xiao Ji not to quarrel with her, and then slept all day.

Later, I was woken up by a knock on the door. She stood up and looked at the time. It would be night already.

She took a good nap and recovered well. I just feel hungry after sleeping for too long.

She thought about going downstairs to have something to eat later, when the knock on the door rang again.

She thought it was Xiao Ji or Tong Yan. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, the person standing outside was Wan Xianyang.

"It's you?"

Shi Mengwan just woke up, her hair was messy and her clothes were a little wrinkled. This state is completely unsuitable for meeting guests.

Refusing to close the door, she took a small step back.

"Mengwan, have a good evening."

"Hello." Shi Mengwan's expression didn't look that good: "Is something wrong?"

Wan Xianyang stood at the door: "Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

"not very convenient."

Shi Mengwan said something a little unkind. Seeing Wan Xianyang like this, it was obvious that he came to see him specially.

"OK. It doesn't matter."

Wan Xianyang was not angry, and moved his hand forward.

There was a bouquet of extremely beautiful heart-shaped roses on it, and Shi Mengwan was a little embarrassed.

"Wan Xianyang. I..."

"Flowers for the beauty." Wan Xianyang strongly handed the flowers to Shi Mengwan's hand: "You haven't eaten, right? If you don't mind, how about having dinner with me?"

Shi Mengwan wanted to refuse, but Wan Xianyang spoke slyly.

"I asked the waiter, and they said you didn't go downstairs all day today. You didn't order any food, so you must be hungry, right?"

Shi Mengwan's eyebrows knitted together, but Wan Xianyang seemed to know what she was thinking.

"Sorry, I'm a bit presumptuous, but the owner of this hotel is a friend of mine, so he gave me a little convenience."

His attitude was so sincere that Shi Mengwan couldn't even find a reason to refuse.

"Don't be in a hurry." Wan Xianyang said in a very good manner, "I'll wait for you."

While speaking, he took the initiative to take a step back. With a faint smile on his face, he gently raised his hand to signal Shi Mengwan to help himself.

Shi Mengwan closed the door with some trepidation. Looking at the large bouquet of roses in his hand, he placed it on the coffee table.

After staring at the bouquet of flowers for nearly a minute, Shi Mengwan suddenly smiled.

Forget it, it’s just a meal. What's more, Wan Xianyang is Huo Jinyao's younger brother. She had a meal with him and talked things through again.

Even if she is not with Zhan Haoze, she has no plans to start a new relationship for the time being.

I tidied myself up as quickly as possible and changed my clothes.

When Shi Mengwan came out of the room, she was not surprised to see Wan Xianyang's stunning eyes.

"How about French food?"

Wan Xianyang suggested. Shi Mengwan thought it took too long, but Wan Xianyang smiled: "You came to France to participate in the competition. I think you haven't tried authentic French food during this time, right?"

Shi Mengwan indeed didn’t. She found that Wan Xianyang was worthy of being a businessman, and his ability to be watertight was even better than Xiao Qi's.

"Let's go. I know there is a Michelin restaurant that tastes pretty good. It's near here."

Half an hour later, Shi Mengwan and Wan Xianyang were sitting in the restaurant.

The environment in front of her was quite good. Shi Mengwan's tense mood these days was somewhat relaxed because of this elegant environment.

"I came to France that year and discovered this restaurant by accident. From then on, whenever I came to France, I would come here."

Shi Mengwan just heard Wan Xianyang speak French quite well to the waiter. Her French was not very good and she could only understand some simple greetings.

"Do you come to France often?" He spoke French so fluently.

"Often." Wan Xianyang nodded and moved slightly closer: "Do you know why?"

Shi Mengwan shook her head. She knew that Huo Jinyao was worth a lot of money. His friends are not simple people either.

"I told you last time that our family is in the antique business. As you know, our country has a lot of treasures floating around in the past few years. So every time there is an auction here, I will come here. "

Shi Mengwan looked at Wan Xianyang and felt a little changed: "I can't tell, you are quite patriotic."

"How should I put it? Those patriotic overseas Chinese are working very hard for these things. So I will do my best."

Shi Mengwan nodded. She was not familiar with Wan Xianyang, and Wan Xianyang didn't mention the previous events. She just talked about some things he encountered at the auction.

This was an area that Shi Mengwancong had never been exposed to before, and it was quite new to her. For a moment, she actually found it interesting to listen to Wan Xianyang's words.

French food is famous for its longevity, and Shi Mengwan won’t feel bored even after eating one meal.

And since I was busy drawing pictures and had not been able to relax my nerves, I felt relaxed a lot because of this delicious meal.

Coming out of the restaurant, Shi Mengwan looked at Wan Xianyang and thanked her very seriously: "Wan Xianyang, thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Wan Xianyang looked at her with a narrow smile in his eyes: "Thank you for inviting you to dinner? No need to thank me, just treat me tomorrow."

"Okay." Shi Mengwan did not refuse, she should have returned the invitation.

"The weather is nice today, why don't you take a walk?"

Shi Mengwan wanted to refuse, but Wan Xianyang made a gesture of invitation. She thought for a moment and followed him.

"good."

The temperature in Paris during this season is still very low, only around ten degrees Celsius.

It's already over 30 degrees in Lin City. Paris is so cold. Shi Mengwan was really not used to it.

After tightening the coat she was wearing, Shi Mengwan felt less happy when she thought that she would have to stay here for several days.

"Mengwan." Wan Xianyang took off his windbreaker and put it on her.

Shi Mengwan was startled and subconsciously took a step back.

Wan Xianyang's movement of holding the clothes stopped in mid-air. He looked at Shi Mengwan, as if he knew that he was abrupt.

"Sorry, I just thought you might be cold."

"I'm not cold." Shi Mengwan now felt that it was time to make it clear to Wan Xianyang.

"Wan Xianyang." She stood at the intersection and looked at the other person's face under the streetlight.

Seriously speaking, Wan Xianyang is not bad looking, has good conditions, and is a very nice person.

But feelings are something that sometimes I really can’t explain clearly.

"Wan Xianyang. I know it may not be appropriate for me to say this, and maybe you will think I'm being pretentious, but I really still want to say that the two of us are not suitable."

Wan Xianyang didn't expect her to be so direct, so he was a little surprised. After the accident, there was a faint smile on his face.

"Are you refusing?"

"That's right." Shi Mengwan nodded: "I just don't want you to waste your time on me."

"You're not me, how do you know I'm wasting my time?"

"But I don't like you." Shi Mengwan said it very directly. This was her personality. If you like it, you like it; if you don't like it, you don't like it.

Wan Xianyang stood a step forward and looked at Shi Mengwan's face.

Before he came, he specifically asked Su Qingsang to do his homework and asked many people. Everything that came today, whether it was what flowers to send or where to eat, he had carefully arranged it.

But I didn't expect this result.

"You don't like me, but I like you. I think that's enough. Maybe one day, you will like me?"

"This is impossible." Shi Mengwan said absolutely.

Wan Xianyang looked at her: "Do you have someone you like?"

"yes."

"Do I recognize him?"

"do not know."

Wan Xianyang looked at her and suddenly said: "You didn't deliberately make up such a person just to make me give up, right?"

"No." Shi Mengwan didn't want to say more: "Anyway, I have someone I like. It's impossible for me to forget him in a short time, so don't waste your time on me."

"There's something wrong with your argument." Wan Xianyang waved his hand and didn't take her words to heart at all: "If I don't succeed with you in the end, it's a waste of time. But if I finally move you, you can follow If we are together, then it is worth it, so why is it a waste of time?"

"Wan Xianyang?" Shi Mengwan was speechless by what he said.

"Okay, it's getting late. I'll take you back to rest."

"Wan Xianyang."

"Let's go." Wan Xianyang obviously didn't want to listen to her, so Shi Mengwan stopped talking.

The two of them walked back along the road. Wan Xianyang looked at the hotel building not far ahead, his attitude was better than yesterday. When they were about to arrive at the hotel, Shi Mengwan's foot suddenly tripped over something. About to fall.

Wan Xianyang supported her body in time.

"Are you OK?"

"I'm fine." Shi Mengwan stood firm, glad that she wasn't wearing high heels today.

"Thanks."

"Mengwan, you don't have to be so polite to me."

Wan Xianyang was serious for a while, then became a little careless again.

Shi Mengwan seemed to be used to him being like this, so she wasn't too surprised.

She stood still and did not refuse when Wan Xianyang said he wanted to send her back to the room.

"Mengwan, can I still come to see you tomorrow?"

"I have something to do tomorrow."

The shortlist will be announced tomorrow. Only ten people can be shortlisted.

One week after being shortlisted, she can take two assistants to a venue specially arranged for the finalists.

We won’t know until tomorrow whether she can be shortlisted. If you can, then you will naturally get busy next.

If not, then she is really free.

"It doesn't matter, I know you are here to compete. I can wait until you finish the competition."

Shi Mengwan didn't answer. After saying goodbye to Wan Xianyang, she entered the room.

She walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at the large bouquet of roses with a very complicated mood.

She couldn't help but think of Zhan Haoze again. During the time she had been with him, Zhan Haoze seemed to have never given her a rose.

She sighed inwardly. In fact, it didn't matter what she gave. Only at this time can we tell that Zhan Haoze may not really have her in his heart.

Otherwise, how could he be engaged to another woman?

Get up to take a shower and rest. There was a knock on the door, and she thought it was Wan Xianyang returning. Without much hesitation, he stepped forward and opened the door.

When she saw clearly who the tall figure was outside the door, she closed the door without thinking.

But her movements were still a beat slow, and Zhan Haoze entered the door before she closed the door.

Shi Mengwan started pushing her without saying a word, trying to push her out. Zhan Haoze easily pulled her hands into his arms and turned around.

When the door was closed, her body was pressed against the door panel.

Shi Mengwan became anxious, raised her foot and kicked Zhan Haoze. Zhan Haoze held her hand and tried to block her feet. She struggled so hard that he was kicked by her without noticing.

After one kick, Shi Mengwan became harder and harder, raised her other foot and kicked him towards him.

Although she wasn't wearing high heels, she was wearing a pair of pointed shoes today, which would be particularly painful if kicked.

Zhan Haoze was kicked twice by her, and when she was about to kick him a third time, he lifted her body up.

He took three steps and two steps to carry her body to the bed, and then threw it away.

The soft bed made Shi Mengwan's body bounce a few times. As soon as she stabilized herself, she raised her foot and kicked him towards the body.

"Shi Mengwan. What are you doing?"

Zhan Haoze couldn't help but pressed her body down. He pressed it tightly, preventing her from moving any further.

He held her hands together, raised them above his head, and looked at her.

"What's the fuss about?"

He was very busy during this time. When he had a little time to find her, he realized that Shi Mengwan was not at home.

She went abroad to participate in a competition.

"Am I making trouble? Yes, I am making trouble. You can go find someone who doesn't make trouble?"

Shi Mengwan stared at her with gloomy eyes: "Zhan Haoze, get out. I don't want to see you."

Zhan Haoze's eyebrows were knitted tightly. Looking at the anger on Shi Mengwan's face, he seemed a little confused: "I haven't come to see you during this time. Are you angry?"

"Who is angry?" Shi Mengwan didn't want to say more to him: "I don't have time to be angry with you. Get out of the way. I said, I don't want to see you."

"Shi Mengwan?"

Shi Mengwan closed her eyes. Yes, she should have understood this a long time ago. Look at what Zhan Haoze calls her. Always called by full name.

Does he really have feelings for her? Does he really like her? Does he really love her?

"I'll say it again, Zhan Haoze, get out of here."

While speaking, she desperately freed one of her hands, and then went to get the mobile phone in her pocket: "If you don't leave, believe it or not, I will call the police."
