Chapter 286 Are you a hen laying eggs?
"It's okay, everyone has different personalities." Meng Zhen comforted him, "I thought you were pretty handsome when you were cursing just now."
Xiao Han was startled. Seeing her ears blushing and not daring to look him in the eye, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You flirted with me, but you're the one who got shy first?"
Meng Zhen pursed her red lips. She had never been in love and had never said such sweet words, so she would definitely feel embarrassed.
"Okay." Xiao Han ruffled her hair. "Since you like interior design, just read and learn more here. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Lao Shao. If you encounter any other difficulties, you can also come to me and tell me."
"Well, thank you, Teacher Xiao."
"Do I have to call you Teacher Xiao?"
"In the workplace." Meng Zhen emphasized seriously.
Xiao Han was helpless, "Okay, whatever you like."
At noon, colleagues in the studio went out to get takeout or eat. Meng Zhen was working on a blueprint when the glass door suddenly opened.
"Brother Xiao Han!"
A sweet female voice sounded. Meng Zhen looked up and saw a young girl in an exquisite dress walking in with a thermal bag. She had a bright smile on her face and walked straight towards Xiao Han.
Xiao Han was still discussing the design of the new project with Shao Lengyu, and he was suddenly overwhelmed when he heard this tone.
He turned around with a frown, his eyes revealing undisguised disgust. "Can you change your address? You're always calling me brother, are you really the hen that lays eggs?"
Li Xiangning didn't take it seriously and took a step closer to him. "Uncle Xiao said you've been staying up late again these past few days, so I made some soup for you to nourish yourself."
"You're just bullshitting! I just got back from Beijing the day before yesterday. Why would I stay up all night?" He put one hand on his waist, leaning lazily at the table, glaring at her with a look that said, "Let me see how you bullshit." "Who asked you to come?"
Li Xiangning's smile froze. "I, I just happened to be passing by..."
"The studio is on the east side, and your home is on the west side. What a coincidence we passed by." Xiao Han waved his hand indifferently, turned back to continue talking to Shao Lengyu, and casually dismissed Li Xiangning, "Take the things away, I don't need them."
Li Xiangning's eyes instantly turned red, "Brother Xiao Han, you weren't like this before..."
"Stop! Where did you and I come from?" Xiao Han said in a cold tone, "Please shut your mouth and get out right now!"
"Brother Xiao Han, how could you be so cruel as to drive me away? My dad and Uncle Xiao are comrades-in-arms!"
"So what?" Xiao Han directly blocked her ridiculous remarks with three words, "They are comrades-in-arms, but you and I are not. Are we familiar with each other?"
Li Xiangning held it in for a long time, unable to find a single word to refute. She simply threw in the towel and went to the sofa in the lounge area to lie down. "I don't care, I'm not leaving! If you have the guts, just throw me out! I'll tell Uncle Xiao about it when I get home, saying you bullied me!"
Xiao Han sighed. His relationship with his father had finally eased a little. If he really dared to bully his comrade's daughter, it would be a lack of respect for him and he would probably get into trouble again.
He waved his hands irritably, "Whatever, as long as you don't make trouble, I won't care if you sleep here tonight."
Colleagues in the office cast gossipy glances at her. Meng Zhen lowered her head and pretended to concentrate on drawing, but her fingers unconsciously clenched the pen.
It sounds like Xiao Han has known this girl for many years. Could it be like Ming Jing and Liu Zhi... Why didn't An Ran mention this person?
"This Li Xiangning is the daughter of a comrade-in-arms of Teacher Xiao's father. She lives in Hai City. Ever since our studio moved to Hai City, Li Xiangning has been harassing Teacher Xiao daily. But don't worry, Teacher Xiao never treats her kindly and is very resolute."
The colleague next to her was afraid that Mengzhen would misunderstand, so he came over and explained in a low voice.
She had to admit, she had always been curious about what kind of girl Li Xiangning liked since she had been pursuing Xiao Han for so many years, but he was not moved at all.
Until this time he came back from Beijing and brought Meng Zhen back.
She is elegant, generous, calm, gentle and steady, completely different from Li Xiangning.
She has the charm and charisma that is unique to mature women.
No wonder Xiao Han, known as the "iron-tongued straight man", was moved by her.
After hearing this explanation, Meng Zhen felt a little relieved and smiled and thanked him.
She hadn't been with Xiao Han for long, and couldn't say she knew each other very well, so it was true that she felt insecure when a woman suddenly appeared and behaved intimately with him.
But, what she felt more was that she wanted to know about his daily life, his past, and everything about him that she didn't know.
"Zhenzhen."
Hearing the call, Meng Zhen raised her head and saw Xiao Han standing at the office door waving at her.
"The takeaway has arrived, come in and eat."
"Okay." Meng Zhen stood up and walked over. She could feel Li Xiangning's sharp gaze on her.
During the meal, Xiao Han also explained to Meng Zhen the relationship between himself and Li Xiangning, laying everything out clearly to avoid any misunderstandings.
Meng Zhen was smiling the whole time. Maybe she just liked Xiao Han's straightforward personality, which prevented her from having wild thoughts when she felt insecure.
After dinner, when Mengzhen was putting on makeup in the bathroom, Li Xiangning followed her in.
"Are you Meng Zhen?" She leaned against the sink, looking Meng Zhen up and down. "I heard you were a doctor before?"
Meng Zhen put away her lipstick and nodded politely: "Hello."
"Stop pretending." Li Xiangning sneered, "Do you think Xiao Han really likes you? He just wants to get rid of me. His family is pressuring him to get married, and he saw that you're weak and easy to manipulate, so he chose you."
In the mirror, Meng Zhen's face turned slightly pale. She had to admit that her first interaction with Xiao Han was just a fake relationship in order to deal with his parents' urging to get married.
Although she felt a little guilty, she remained calm. "No matter what brought us together, he's still my boyfriend. If you continue to pester him, you'll be acting like a third party. Your father is a retired soldier, so I'm sure you have very positive values and wouldn't do anything like interfering in other people's relationships."
"Hmph!" Li Xiangning snorted coldly, "I just came here to confirm your relationship with him. Since you are indeed his girlfriend, I won't bother him anymore."
She leaned closer to Meng Zhen and lowered her voice, "But even without me, you wouldn't be able to go on. He became famous at the age of 16 and is surrounded by bigwigs in the business and art worlds. His circle is not something an ordinary person like you can fit into. I advise you not to humiliate yourself."
After saying that, she shook her long hair and left arrogantly.
Meng Zhen stood there, looked at her pale face in the mirror, and took a deep breath.
