Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute

Chapter 74: Chapter 074 She Won’t Let Go of the Person She Wants

Before long, Shen Han’s car came to a steady stop outside the company building. Just as he was handing over the car keys to the doorman, he spotted Jiang Meili’s fiery red sports car pulling up behind him.

“Shen Han!”

After Jiang Meili closed her car door, she trotted over with her Chanel bag in hand. Hearing her, Shen Han stopped and turned to wait for her.

“You got here quite fast,” Shen Han said indifferently.

Panting lightly, Jiang Meili tapped her chest twice and smiled, “Well, I was still hanging on your words to help me brainstorm, wasn’t I?”

“Let’s go upstairs.”

Shen Han was not in a good mood that day, not feeling like saying much. He led the way through the revolving doors and inside. Jiang Meili, who stood behind for a moment, quickly regained her composure and followed with grace and beauty.

They walked side by side toward the elevator. Inside, Shen Han fell silent for a moment, his hands in his pockets as he faced the elevator doors, before suddenly speaking up.

“Meili, about visiting Uncle, let’s put it off for now. I’ll pay him a proper visit once I’m done with this busy period,” he said.

Standing next to him, holding her bag, Jiang Meili looked at Shen Han in astonishment.

“What’s wrong? Is there a matter? Don’t worry, just tell me, and I’ll figure it out.”

“There’s something I need to take care of.”

Jiang Meili very much wanted to ask what was so important that he had to postpone their families’ meeting. She felt an unsettling premonition in her heart, but after hesitating for a long time, she still couldn’t bring herself to ask.

She wasn’t foolish. She could sense that ever since Shen Han had last met with Su Shu, his thoughts had become indecipherable. From their school days to studying abroad and then to returning home after graduation, she just couldn’t understand why, whenever Su Shu appeared around her, things didn’t go smoothly for her!

Whether it was the senior she liked during her university days or Shen Han she took a fancy to overseas, there weren’t many men Jiang Meili felt something for in her life, yet somehow, they all had connections with Su Shu!

She could have let past feelings for Xiao Ran be, as he had been the campus heartthrob throughout their school days — indeed, talented and handsome. Unfortunately, his family background wasn’t a match for hers. Even if she liked him, their relationship wouldn’t get past her family’s disapproval. Her pursuit of Xiao Ran was born of attraction, an emotion that lasted only until graduation. Afterward, one remained to work in the country due to family reasons, and the other went abroad for further studies. There was no interaction between them anymore. She was sorrowful, sure, but she knew Xiao Ran was not right for her.

But Shen Han was different; it wasn’t just about suitability. During the years they spent together in the United States, she had initially not paid much attention until she gradually discovered that his previously indifferent demeanor became utterly fascinating once she truly got to know him.

At first, Shen Han wasn’t nice to her, always cold and indifferent, maintaining merely cordial relations. She thought it was just his nature, but later she accidentally discovered the relaxed expression and faint doting in his eyes when he talked to Su Shu, and she couldn’t stand it.

After enduring it for a long time, she couldn’t help but ask him about his relationship with Su Shu.

She clearly remembered Shen Han saying, “Just friends.”

They loved in college and parted after graduation, just like what happened between her and Xiao Ran. Since Shen Han and Su Shu were just friends, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with her liking Shen Han. She hadn’t stolen or snatched him away. With their matching talents and looks, equal family backgrounds, weren’t they the perfect match? Why should she care about Su Shu, who was already a thing of the past?

However, she could never forget the way she saw Shen Han react that day when Su Shu suddenly appeared.

To Shen Han, Su Shu still meant something after all, and Jiang Meili really didn’t like this attachment.

It didn’t matter what man it was; unless she lost interest, once she had her sights set, she would never let go easily. Shen Han was a catch among men, and though she was not his girlfriend during the years in the United States, as a classmate and friend, she was the person who knew him best. What claim did Su Shu, who she hadn’t seen in years, have to compete with her?

In the past few days, she had no idea where Shen Han had gone, but she had a feeling, albeit one she disliked.

Shen Han would be hers, and no one could change that. She wouldn’t let go easily. So, she wouldn’t provoke his ire. What was a slight delay in meeting the parents? She could wait as long as Shen Han would ultimately be hers. She had the patience to see it through.

“Aren’t you coming out?” Shen Han pressed the elevator button and frowned at her.
