He waited a long time for her reply, but when none came, he tried calling her\u2014only to find he couldn\u2019t get through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou blocked me again? You must block me a hundred times a day,\u201d Zhan Wei muttered in frustration.<\/p>\n<p>Giving up on contacting her, he took a few selfies before changing out of the new clothes. He planned to send them for dry cleaning tomorrow before wearing them again.<\/p>\n<p>What a pity Lan Ruoruo had only given him one set.<\/p>\n<p>She had bought so many outfits\u2014why didn\u2019t she give him two sets, so he could wear something she picked out for him every day?<\/p>\n<p>Wait\u2026<\/p>\n<p>What was he thinking?<\/p>\n<p>Zhan Wei suddenly realized that something felt off about his thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>He and Lan Ruoruo were supposed to be sworn enemies.<\/p>\n<p>Why would he even expect her to give him clothes, let alone hope for more than one set?<\/p>\n<p>Then, his sister-in-law\u2019s teasing words flashed through his mind. She had once asked if he\u2019d ever considered that he might like Lan Ruoruo\u2014or even be falling for her.<\/p>\n<p>He had firmly denied it.<\/p>\n<p>They had been at odds for years. All he had ever thought about was how to defeat her, undermine her, and take over her business.<\/p>\n<p>And she had been the same.<\/p>\n<p>They were truly like mortal enemies.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, he admitted he didn\u2019t exactly hate Lan Ruoruo. But love her? No way.<\/p>\n<p>How could he possibly fall in love with her?<br \/>\nIf he had truly fallen in love with her, he would have spoiled her endlessly. When a man from the Zhan family fell in love, he would pamper his beloved to the extreme.<\/p>\n<p>But he didn\u2019t treat Lan Ruoruo that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re overthinking it. There\u2019s no way I could fall in love with Lan Ruoruo. My sister-in-law must be imagining things,\u201d Zhan Wei muttered.<\/p>\n<p>Still, he couldn\u2019t help recalling moments from the past\u2014the various overt and covert clashes between him and Lan Ruoruo. Thinking about it now, he realized that when they weren\u2019t talking business, he did treat her differently. He especially enjoyed provoking her.<\/p>\n<p>He liked seeing her get angry\u2014it made her look full of life.<\/p>\n<p>Ha.<\/p>\n<p>If she ever found out that he enjoyed riling her up, she\u2019d probably get so mad she\u2019d come strangle him in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, after blocking Zhan Wei again, Lan Ruoruo restarted the engine and drove home.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, she returned to the Lan family mansion.<\/p>\n<p>It was already late at night, and the house was silent. All the servants had gone off duty.<\/p>\n<p>The maids worked from six in the morning to ten at night. When the master wasn\u2019t home, they were free to leave after finishing their tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The lights were still on in the first-floor lobby.<\/p>\n<p>As Lan Ruoruo parked in the garage, she noticed her brother\u2019s car was already there. No wonder the lights were on\u2014her brother had come home earlier than she had.<\/p>\n<p>Just as she reached the front door with bags of new clothes in hand, her elder brother happened to step outside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrother, it\u2019s so late\u2014are you still heading out?\u201d Lan Ruoruo asked, assuming he was going somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour car is already parked in the garage?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Normally, when anyone needed to go out again, they wouldn\u2019t park in the garage but in the open-air lot or directly in front of the house.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zhan Wei didn\u2019t realize she had blocked him again.
