Wei Yumeng returned home after a day of work, feeling a little tired.
Zhan Mohan was supposed to come back with her today, but unexpectedly, he encountered some issues with other projects. So, she had to return by herself.
Wei Yumeng glanced at the time. The children had told her in advance today that they were going to a friend's house, so Wei Yumeng was alone in the entire house for the evening.
"Madam, here is your milk," the maid said, placing the cup in front of Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng was a little surprised, as she didn't recall asking the maid to pour milk.
"Madam, Mr. Zhan instructed me to do this. He said you've been working all day and need to rest well and replenish your nutrients."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng's heart felt warm. It turned out Zhan Mohan had been thinking of her all along.
The more this was the case, the less Wei Yumeng wanted to let her own affairs disturb Zhan Mohan's work. She obediently finished the milk.
However, after a short while, she felt a wave of dizziness. She didn't know what was happening, but she fell asleep without any warning.
"Why is Yumeng sleeping here?"
Who is it? Wei Yumeng felt a terrible headache. She could hear voices clearly but couldn't open her eyes.
"Madam fell asleep here as soon as she came back today."
Following that, Wei Yumeng felt her body lighten, falling into a warmer embrace. Then, something soft gently touched her forehead.
Finally, as if she had used all her strength, she opened her eyes.
"Mohan."
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng's appearance and felt a pang of heartache. Had he assigned her too much work, causing her to be so exhausted?
"Yumeng, since you're so tired, you don't have to go to the company tomorrow. Just rest at home."
Wei Yumeng quickly shook her head. "No, I don't feel tired. I don't know why I fell asleep."
As she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of any other possible reason.
Zhan Mohan carried Wei Yumeng into the bedroom. "Alright, don't think about anything. Just rest well today. I'll only allow you to go to work tomorrow if you're in good spirits."
Wei Yumeng had no choice but to nod obediently, letting Zhan Mohan place her on the bed. Soon, she fell asleep again.
When Wei Yumeng woke up, she found no one at home. The place was empty.
"Mohan?" A sense of dread rose in her heart. The surroundings were too quiet, a deathly silence.
"Shi Qing? Jin Zhi?" Wei Yumeng called out the children's names loudly, but there was no response.
She couldn't explain the current situation, so she could only search from room to room.
As she neared the children's room, she smelled a faint scent of blood.
This smell made her heart pound.
No, no!
She told herself repeatedly that the children would be fine.
But when she reached the door of the children's room, she saw blood seeping from under the door.
"No!" Wei Yumeng cried out, tears streaming down her face.
However, with her tears, the scene before her became clear again. She had indeed arrived at the children's room door, and beside her, Zhan Mohan was looking at her with concern.
Seeing that Wei Yumeng had regained consciousness, Zhan Mohan breathed a sigh of relief and gently held her.
"Don't be afraid, it's alright. We're all fine, and the children are fine."
Zhan Mohan never knew Wei Yumeng had a sleepwalking problem. He was also startled when he saw Wei Yumeng suddenly get out of bed and walk out of the room on her own.
Knowing that it could have dire consequences if someone sleepwalking was forcefully woken up, he could only follow Wei Yumeng, silently protecting her safety.
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan, still disbelieving, and reached out to touch his face.
"Mohan... it really is you."
"Mhm." Zhan Mohan hugged Wei Yumeng tightly, his heart aching. "You're not in good shape. How about you rest at home for a while?"
Wei Yumeng didn't respond. She still couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.
Zhan Mohan stayed with her all night, and finally managed to make Wei Yumeng sleep peacefully. But the next morning, Wei Yumeng was completely back to normal.
Zhan Mohan looked at her, his eyes still filled with worry.
"Mohan, I'm sorry I made you worry yesterday. But I think it might have just been caused by poor sleep. I'm completely fine now."
Wei Yumeng said this and deliberately spun around in front of Zhan Mohan, as if to show her excellent condition.
"Are you still going today..."
Zhan Mohan had just decided to let Wei Yumeng rest for another day, but Wei Yumeng interrupted him.
"Mohan, let's hurry and leave. We might be late if we wait any longer."
As she spoke, she picked up her bag and walked out of the house.
Zhan Mohan had no choice but to follow. If anything were to happen again, at least he would be by her side to guarantee her safety.
Zhan Mohan personally escorted Wei Yumeng into her office before leaving with peace of mind.
This also led to a reversal in Zhan Mohan's image for a time.
All the employees of Zhan Corporation believed that Zhan Mohan was always imposing and awe-inspiring, and just speaking to him was enough to make one nervous for half a day. But now, he had acquired the image of a doting husband.
However, Zhan Mohan didn't care about any of this.
Wei Yumeng watched Zhan Mohan leave, feeling a little helpless. Even she thought that Zhan Mohan was being overly worried today.
Wei Yumeng organized the project documents, along with the proposal and contract she had prepared. These were things she needed for work today. If things went smoothly, she would be able to secure another new project for Zhan Corporation.
"Mr. Wu, our company has rearranged our project according to your requirements. Here is our proposal for your review."
Wei Yumeng said this and handed the documents to the person in front of her.
The other party was the one they were about to collaborate with.
At this moment, Wei Yumeng suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. Her vision blurred, and the scene in front of her became hazy.
She was startled and quickly rubbed her eyes. Fortunately, it quickly returned to normal.
"This proposal is perfect, but I still have a few questions about some of the contract terms."
"Please go ahead," Wei Yumeng replied politely as always.
However, she couldn't remember what happened afterward at all.
She only felt that her mind went blank at that time. Only the other party's voice kept echoing, but she couldn't recall the content of the conversation. She only snapped back to her senses when the discussion ended.
"I feel very reassured dealing with a smart person like Ms. Wei. Starting today, I'll need your continued care in our work together."
Mr. Wu said this, a strange curve forming on his lips.
