Hua Menglan walked on the dark street alone, trembling with fear. She had a strange feeling and puzzlement in her heart.
Weird, the streetlights were still fine yesterday, but they were all broken today. How strange!
Although she had doubts in her heart, she did not dare to stop for a moment. She quickly walked in the direction of her home until she turned a corner. Seeing that her home was in front of her, she quickly quickened her pace, but she tripped over something on the ground...
" Ouch…" Hua Menglan frowned. What did she trip over? Why was it so painful?
Hua Menglan bent down to touch her wound. Unexpectedly, the culprit who caused her injury was actually a person.
This... why would someone be lying here, and why was there a large font?
Hua Menglan furrowed her brows and looked warily at the person lying on the ground.
But what she saw surprised her.
It was Shangguan Zituo!
He lay on the ground with a pale face. Under the moonlight, his pale face made people feel a little scared.
Hua Menglan carefully kicked Shangguan Zituo, afraid that this was another trap he had set up.
Why was he lying there lifelessly? It was too strange!
" Eh, he won't move…" Hua Menglan didn't give up and kicked him again, but Shangguan Zituo still didn't move.
What should he do?
Should she save him?
If she saved him, she would fall into his trap again.
If she didn't save him, she would feel guilty.
Aiya, whatever. She shouldn't pity him to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Just as Hua Menglan was about to go around, she suddenly turned around and glared at Shangguan Zituo who was lying on the ground.
Damn it, sooner or later, she would be harmed by her own compassion.
However, if something really happened to him, she would be utterly heartless to leave him in the lurch.
Sigh! Forget it, she would deal with whatever came her way anyway. If Shangguan Zituo really wanted to play any tricks, she could only counter him.
Once she made up her mind, Hua Menglan bent down and prepared to help Shangguan Zituo up. However, she realized that she was a weak woman who did not have the strength to move him. She was afraid that she would surrender before she could bring him home. This was really a thankless task.
Hua Menglan sighed. Forget it. There was no one to help her anyway. She could only take it one step at a time. Hua Menglan used all her strength to support Shangguan Zituo.
She gritted her teeth and took her first step into the dark alley. The moonlight stretched their shadows…
Heavens…
This man was really unusually heavy!
Huff…Hua Menglan was panting heavily. Although it was only a minute's journey, she was already panting heavily. Fortunately, she finally brought the unconscious Shangguan Zituo to the sofa at home. For a weak woman like her to be able to do this, it was already not simple.
After Hua Menglan panted, her eyes fell on Shangguan Zituo's pale face. He was still unconscious.
She couldn't figure out why he had collapsed in her alley. However, since she had already saved him and brought him home, shouldn't she be a good person to the end and find a doctor to take a look at him in case something really happened to him?
"He's just too tired. He just needs a good sleep.”After the doctor finished his treatment, he instructed Hua Menglan.
Hua Menglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't expect Shangguan Zituo to be lying in the alley because he was physically weak! It was too funny!
Hua Menglan had planned to chase Shangguan Zituo out as soon as he woke up, but she had waited for nearly 20 hours.
The next evening, when the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth, Hua Menglan was leaning against the window, admiring the beautiful scenery of the sunset. However, a soft sound suddenly came from the bed behind her.
Hua Menglan smiled. The person on the bed was awake, which meant that she could rest well.
"You're finally awake."
Shangguan Zituo opened his sleepy eyes. When he saw Hua Menglan standing in front of him, the sleepiness in his eyes disappeared.
"You, you're not Big Brother's girlfriend, why are you coughing…here?”Shangguan Zituo asked breathlessly.
"I should be the one asking you that!”Hua Menglan crossed her arms and looked at him suspiciously. He was really a two-faced person.
Which Shangguan Zituo did he want to play now?
He clearly knew that she had seen through his double identity, so why did he still insist on pretending? She was really curious, but he probably wouldn't answer her questions for the time being.
" This is your home?!"
Hua Menglan nodded, but she still stared at him warily.
"Why am I here?" He looked around.
"Then I have to ask, what are you playing at?”
Shangguan Zituo frowned." Ahem…What are you talking about? I don't understand.”
"I don't believe you don't know what I'm talking about!" Hua Menglan sneered.”
"My head hurts." Shangguan Zituo pressed his hands on his forehead, looking like he had a splitting headache.
She wanted to play dumb." I have to admit that your acting skills are superb, but I won't fall for it. Why don't you quickly tell me your purpose for appearing here?”
"I really don't understand what you're saying. My head hurts so much, and I'm so tired…"
"You've slept for almost a day, and you're still tired?”
"I've slept for a day?" His voice was so weak that it seemed like he would go into shock at any moment.
"No matter what your intentions are, since you have already woken up, please leave this place immediately. I'm already very tired after taking care of you for an entire day.”She was too tired to expose his trick.
"You want to sleep?"
"That's right. Do you have an opinion?"
"No, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for occupying your bed.”Shangguan Zituo said with shame.
She glanced at him." If there's nothing else, you can leave."”She no longer had the strength to argue with him. She had not slept all night and her eyelids were extremely heavy.
Shangguan Zituo pulled open the quilt on his body and wanted to give the bed to Hua Menglan. However, when he got out of bed, he was a little bumpy, but Hua Menglan just looked on coldly.
"Do you think I'll help you up?"
" I didn't mean that. It's just that my body…" He closed his eyes and explained weakly.
"Alright, I'm not interested in listening to your explanation. I've already tolerated you enough. Now, please leave immediately. Remember to lock the door when you leave.”
"Thank you for saving my life and letting me have a good sleep.”Shangguan Zituo turned around and left.
Humph! " What a man with ulterior motives." Hua Menglan glanced at him coldly. She had already determined that Shangguan Zituo was definitely alone, and the sickly look in front of her was definitely an act. As for what his purpose was, she had no interest in knowing.
After Shangguan Zituo left, Hua Menglan was finally able to rest in bed…
Shangguan Zituo, who was standing outside the door, smiled evilly as Hua Menglan guessed. He had a purpose for coming here, and this purpose would catch Hua Menglan off guard.
In order to get close to her, he pretended to faint in the alley and even pretended to be brought to her house by her. However, this was also due to Hua Menglan's kindness.
To be a doctor…or more accurately, a Mongolian doctor! Because he actually couldn't tell that he was pretending to be sick. He even said that he was too tired and just needed to sleep.
Alright, since the doctor said so, he might as well pretend to have a good sleep. When he woke up, he realized that it was already dusk.
He saw Hua Menglan standing in front of the window. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, making her look even more alluring. He could not wait to embrace her.
As long as he could stay here, he would have enough time to steal Hua Menglan's heart.
However, the smell on her bed was really good. The fragrance mixed with her scent almost made him lose his mind. Fortunately, she did not notice his abnormality. Otherwise, with her shrewdness, it would be difficult to explain things clearly.
But then again, hadn't Hua Menglan already discovered his true colors? Now, he was just short of admitting it himself.
He wouldn't admit his identity so soon. At least, he had to wait until that day…the day Hua Menglan accepted his feelings.
In the quiet night, a bright moon hung high in the sky. The moonlight shone into Hua Menglan's bedroom, illuminating her sleeping face like a baby.
Hua Menglan slowly opened her eyes. She stretched out her wrist and looked at her watch. Then, she pulled open the quilt and stretched herself, preparing to go to the kitchen to look for food. Suddenly, a dark shadow on the living room sofa frightened her.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." Shangguan Zituo hurriedly spoke in the darkness.
She patted her chest in shock." It's you. Why haven't you left yet?”Hua Menglan pressed the switch and the living room lit up.
Shangguan Zituo was sitting on the sofa, staring at her.
"Go where?"
"Did I restrict your movements?"
"No, I haven't."
"Since you don't have it, it's your business where you go. It has nothing to do with me.”
"But…ahem…ahem…I have nowhere to go.”
"This place cannot tolerate your existence." When she heard him cough, she felt very uncomfortable. Didn't he know that if he pretended like this for too long, his body would really get sick?
"I'll be very quiet. I won't disturb you.”
"No matter what your intentions are, you cannot stay here.”
"I fell in the alley because someone wanted to kill me. It was purely an accident that you saved me.”he said seriously.
Hua Menglan's expression darkened and she narrowed her eyes." Don't use this to scare me!”
"I…cough…cough…everything I said is true. Someone really wants to kill me because of my identity.”In order not to reveal any more flaws, Shangguan Zituo put in all his effort to act, hoping to hide from Hua Menglan's sharp eyes.
"Which identity are you referring to?"
She raised her eyebrows and looked at him. She did not believe that he would not give himself away.
"Ahem…Of course, it's because of my identity as the second young master of the Shangguan Group.”
"Is this the identity?" Hua Menglan stared at his eyes suspiciously. "You're just a medicine can, who would want to harm you? I don't believe it, this must be a disaster brought on by your other identity, right?”
"You're thinking too much. I'm me, there's no other.”
"Is that so?" "Well, who wanted to kill you?" she asked suspiciously.”
"I…can't tell you yet.”
"With your status as the Second Young Master of the Shangguan Group, I believe that no one can touch you. Moreover, if someone really wants to kill you as you said, then wouldn't I be in a desperate situation if I take you in?”
Sigh! Why was this woman so smart?
Although Shangguan Zituo was impressed by Hua Menglan's shrewdness, he still looked weak on the surface." I beg you…cough…help me this time."”He lowered his voice so that he could soften her stone heart.
"I can help you, but you have to tell me who hurt my father.”
Shangguan Zituo shook his head." I don't know.”
"You don't know?"
"I have always lived in seclusion. How would I know who the person who harmed your father was? Moreover, when did your father get injured? Why didn't I hear my father mention it?”
"You seem to enjoy playing Two-faced.”
"Two-faced person?"
"You know what I mean. What good is it for you to act as two Shangguan Zituos?”
" I am me. Why…cough…cough…" He coughed so hard that he was out of breath.
"Forget it. I don't want to know the reason either.”He would rather pretend to cough and ruin his body, so why should she care about him?
Anyway, she would definitely know when it was time.
However, he clearly knew who hurt her father, but he refused to reveal even the slightest bit of information to her. How despicable! However, if he could stay here, he might be able to get some clues from him.
Once she made up her mind, Hua Menglan began to put down her guard." Alright! You can stay here, but you can't do anything while you're here.”
"Ahem…ahem…I understand."
"It's good that you understand. You'd better not let me catch you playing tricks. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer.”She glanced at him coldly." I only have one room here, so you can sleep in the living room. You should be used to it anyway, right?”
"It doesn't matter. As long as you promise to let me stay, I don't care what you want me to do.”
" I'm warning you, don't even think about getting any ideas, or else…"
"Are you going to make me suffer?”
"It's good that you know. I don't need to waste my breath. Are you hungry?”Talking to him had wasted a lot of her time, and she was already starving.
"I'm hungry."
"There's something to eat in the kitchen fridge. I'll go take a look.”Hua Menglan walked into the kitchen.
He was so lucky to be able to eat the food she cooked.
Shangguan Zituo, who was walking behind Hua Menglan, had a happy expression on his face. If Hua Menglan turned around at this moment, she would be able to see through his disguise.
Hua Menglan opened the fridge and took out an egg, a handful of vegetables, and a plate of shredded meat.
"I…cough…cough…I won't be full like this.”Shangguan Zituo said with a frown when he saw the food she took out.
Hua Menglan glanced at him." This is my dinner, not yours."”
What?
He had thought that he would be able to eat the dinner that she had personally cooked, but who knew that she would be so stingy.
"Then what should I eat?"
"Want to eat?"
He nodded vigorously.
"Sure, as long as you admit your identity.”She revealed a sly smile.
In the end, she still refused to let him go. He thought that he had already passed this hurdle, but…sigh! Why didn't she give up?
" Cough…cough…cough…" He was speechless and could only express his helplessness by coughing non-stop.
"There are noodles in the cupboard. Go cook them yourself. I don't have the time to cook dinner for a Two-faced Person!”Hua Menglan snickered in her heart. She didn't believe that he could last much longer.
"I don't know how to cook!"
" It's very simple. When the water is boiling, just put the noodles in..." She smiled unhappily." Before you tell me who you are and why, please cook your own meals."”Hua Menglan then ignored Shangguan Zituo and started to cook to sacrifice her internal organs.
Shangguan Zituo stared at her back with a bitter face. If he hadn't fallen in love with Hua Menglan at first sight, he wouldn't have ended up like this. In the end, it was all because of his unique taste that he picked such a woman…
