"How am I inferior to her!" Shen Xiangxue clenched her fist.
Even she felt she had asked this question several times today.
But Zhan Mohan would not answer her.
However, she still forced herself to calm down. She had made a bet with Wei Yumeng, and if things continued like this, she would really lose.
So she had to think of other ways, no matter what methods she used.
Since Zhan Mohan was unwilling to pay attention to her, he must care about Wei Yumeng's affairs.
As long as it was like this, she could use Wei Yumeng as leverage, forcing Zhan Mohan to listen to her.
Anyway, in Zhan Mohan's eyes, she was already a bad person. To get Zhan Mohan, she might as well go all the way!
Shen Xiangxue took a deep breath and said to Zhan Mohan again, "You don't know yet, do you? I actually saw her today. She's nothing special. She's not as beautiful or as young as me."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan frowned. No wonder Shen Xiangxue suddenly thought of picking him up. It was probably because she felt stung by Wei Yumeng.
However, he was still more worried about Wei Yumeng's situation.
"You should know very well that this entire black street belongs to our family. If I want to do something to her, it's easy," Shen Xiangxue said, even a murderous look appearing in her eyes.
"What do you want to do?" As expected, Zhan Mohan became agitated.
Shen Xiangxue deliberately approached Zhan Mohan, "If you listen to me, I can guarantee her safety. Of course, if you continue to treat me with this attitude, I can kill her right now."
"You dare!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Don't you know what kind of people are on this black street?"
Zhan Mohan clenched his fist. For him now, nothing was more important than Wei Yumeng's safety.
"Speak, what do you want me to do?" Zhan Mohan said to Shen Xiangxue, suppressing his anger.
Shen Xiangxue knew she had succeeded. Although she chose this method that Zhan Mohan disliked, she still hoped not to strain their relationship too much, as she still wanted to marry him.
"I just want you to come back with me."
"Okay." Zhan Mohan agreed without any hesitation, as if he hadn't thought about it at all.
Shen Xiangxue felt a sense of secret joy. As long as she held onto Zhan Mohan's weakness, she would be the ultimate victor.
Zhan Mohan returned to the villa with Shen Xiangxue like this.
"This is your room. I had someone redecorate it before. See if it suits your taste this time."
Shen Xiangxue said, opening the door.
When Zhan Mohan saw the scene inside, he was still a little surprised.
Originally, the style of this country was completely different from that of China, and the furniture style was naturally different. However, Shen Xiangxue had actually found furniture and decorations in the Chinese style, which gave him a sense of familiarity.
"How is it? Is it okay this time? I went to great lengths to ask my father to ship these pieces of furniture here."
As Shen Xiangxue spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, I've also learned some dishes from your country these days. I'll cook for you later, okay?"
Zhan Mohan didn't answer her, but Shen Xiangxue took it as his tacit consent.
"I know that even if I do this much, you won't be able to accept me easily. But I'm willing to wait, and I can try my best to become the person you like."
After Shen Xiangxue finished speaking, she took a deep breath, "Enough about this. You wait here for me, and I'll go cook for you."
With that, Shen Xiangxue turned and walked out of the room.
Zhan Mohan looked at everything in the room, but his heart remained unmoved.
He admitted that if another man encountered a woman like Shen Xiangxue, who was so attentive to him, he would have fallen in love long ago.
But Wei Yumeng's position in his heart was already irreplaceable. No matter how good a woman he met, he couldn't bring himself to give up Wei Yumeng.
Soon, Shen Xiangxue came in with the dishes she had personally cooked.
Zhan Mohan just glanced at them and saw the wound on Shen Xiangxue's hand.
She also noticed Zhan Mohan's gaze and immediately hid her hand behind her back.
"Try it quickly. I finally learned it. I did everything myself, from cutting vegetables to stir-frying."
But Zhan Mohan had no intention of starting.
Shen Xiangxue felt wronged, but she still forced herself to pick up a piece of food and offer it to Zhan Mohan's mouth.
"Don't worry, it's not bad. I tried it myself before, and it's definitely not poisoned."
But Zhan Mohan still didn't react.
Finally, Shen Xiangxue's patience ran out. She suddenly put the food aside angrily.
"Do you want me to threaten you before you're willing to eat? Fine, if you keep giving me this cold shoulder, I'll have someone execute that woman immediately. That way, you won't always be against me!"
Zhan Mohan clenched his fist. He hated being threatened. In the past, he would have made the other party regret it.
But the situation was different now. He was under someone's control, and Wei Yumeng's safety was also in their hands.
Finally, Zhan Mohan picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food.
Seeing Zhan Mohan's submission, she immediately forgot what she had said and just wanted to know Zhan Mohan's evaluation of her cooking.
"How is it?"
"Hmm, it's okay." Zhan Mohan's tone was cold and devoid of warmth.
Hearing this, Shen Xiangxue breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll cook for you every day from now on. Whatever you want to eat, I can learn to make it for you."
This time, Zhan Mohan didn't give her a cold look but simply grunted softly.
Shen Xiangxue suddenly felt that the world had become beautiful. She knew her efforts would not be in vain.
Even if Zhan Mohan was a block of ice, she would melt his heart.
As night fell, Zhan Mohan lay in bed, his mind filled with Wei Yumeng.
And he spent almost every night here like this. Unable to see Wei Yumeng, he could only constantly recall their past times together. At least, this gave him hope.
He couldn't help but mock himself. Perhaps he could never have imagined that he would end up in such a state.
Just as he was about to fall into a daze, he heard the sound of a door opening.
Zhan Mohan stiffened slightly but quickly pretended to be asleep.
He heard footsteps gradually approaching him, then someone leaned close to his ear and softly called his name.
"Mohan."
But Zhan Mohan didn't respond. Shen Xiangxue had to call out again.
But Zhan Mohan still showed no reaction.
Shen Xiangxue was a bit dejected. She had deliberately dressed provocatively, hoping to catch Zhan Mohan's eye, but she hadn't expected him to be asleep.
"Mohan, if I lie down next to you now, will you be surprised when you wake up tomorrow morning?"
