"This is it," Mu Linjing introduced. "The hot spring resort isn't officially open yet, so there aren't many people."
Wei Yumeng looked up, finding the environment suitable and the construction of the resort quite meticulous; it was indeed a good place.
"I've already spoken with my friend. She has prepared the most suitable rooms for you."
As Mu Linjing was speaking, a server walked towards them.
"May I ask if you are Mrs. Zhan and Mr. Zhan?"
Wei Yumeng smiled faintly at the server, "Yes, we are."
"Since I've delivered you, I'll head back now. While it's for the sake of your health, it's also a rare opportunity for the two of you to have some time alone. I won't disturb you."
After speaking, Mu Linjing waved goodbye and left.
"Please follow me," the server said, turning to lead the way.
Wei Yumeng glanced at Zhan Mohan. From the moment they set off, his expression hadn't improved; he seemed to be worried about something.
She couldn't help but tug at Zhan Mohan's arm. Only then did Zhan Mohan snap back to attention.
Seeing Zhan Mohan turn his head, Wei Yumeng offered him a gentle smile.
"Mohan, I know you're still worried, but since we're here, you should relax."
After all, Zhan Mohan was usually swamped with company matters, and time for him to truly rest was rare.
Seeing Wei Yumeng's smiling face, Zhan Mohan's worries temporarily subsided.
"Alright."
"This is the room." The server stopped. "This is the Orchid Suite, prepared specifically for the two of you by our boss. We heard Mrs. Zhan needs to recuperate, so this place is most suitable."
Wei Yumeng looked around and felt she truly liked it. Compared to the luxurious private rooms she had imagined, the decor here was more elegant and serene, with a faint scent of sandalwood.
"If you need any assistance, you can call me via the intercom at any time," the server said before turning to leave.
Wei Yumeng took out the items she had brought. As discussed with Mu Linjing earlier, she replaced many of her usual necessities with brand new ones, not even bringing her regular vitamins.
According to Mu Linjing, these medications were the easiest to tamper with.
To be on the safe side, even Zhan Mohan's items were brand new.
Although Wei Yumeng didn't explicitly state why she was doing this, Zhan Mohan understood.
And so, the rare vacation at the hot spring resort began.
Under the resort's care, Wei Yumeng experienced an unprecedented sense of ease.
But such time was fleeting, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
While soaking in the hot springs every day was indeed a comfortable experience, it became rather boring after a while.
"Mohan, shall we go back earlier?" Wei Yumeng suggested. After all, the longer they stayed, the more work Zhan Mohan would fall behind on.
But Zhan Mohan shook his head, "I'm fine. Elder Brother and Yichen will handle the company matters."
"Then why are you always frowning?" Wei Yumeng finally asked about her deepest concern, "You haven't relaxed since entering the resort."
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng helplessly; indeed, he couldn't hide anything from her.
"Is it because of my situation?" Wei Yumeng tentatively asked.
Zhan Mohan nodded. "Actually, we've investigated some things regarding this matter, but there are still other problems."
"Other problems?"
Zhan Mohan didn't answer. It wasn't that he wanted to hide anything, but he didn't know how to explain it to Wei Yumeng yet.
Seeing Zhan Mohan's apparent difficulty, Wei Yumeng didn't press further.
"So, since arriving at the resort, I haven't had an episode for three days." Wei Yumeng drew her conclusion, "I think it might really be due to stress. It's certainly leisurely here, so leisurely that it's almost boring."
Even as she said this, she couldn't rule out that it was because she had been on guard.
The fact that she hadn't had an episode for three days proved that her and Mu Linjing's conclusion might be correct.
However, staying here indefinitely wasn't a solution. This three-day trip to the resort wasn't entirely without results.
"Mohan, let's go back." Wei Yumeng's tone was firm this time. "It's not because of you this time; it's because I want to go back."
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng. After a moment of hesitation, he finally said, "Alright."
With their arrangements, they returned home that day.
When Mu Linjing heard of Wei Yumeng's return, she immediately sought her out, wanting to know if there had been any results during those days.
"Yumeng, why did you return so soon?" Mu Linjing sounded surprised.
Wei Yumeng replied, "I haven't had an episode for these three days, so I don't think it's necessary to stay any longer."
"Ah?" Mu Linjing almost didn't react. "Ah! Really?"
"Of course, it's true. Don't I look more spirited than before?"
Mu Linjing examined Wei Yumeng closely. Her skin even seemed more supple than before, though she couldn't be sure if it was due to the hot springs.
"What are your plans now?" Mu Linjing asked.
"Since I know the root of the problem, I know how to be careful about it. I believe as long as I avoid those things, there shouldn't be any more incidents."
Wei Yumeng didn't know who had orchestrated this, but she could guarantee her own safety, which would also alleviate some of Zhan Mohan's stress.
However, Mu Linjing was still concerned, "Is that really okay? Have you told Brother about it?"
"Not yet." Wei Yumeng shook her head. "I feel like I've already caused him enough trouble. At least this time, I hope I can do something."
Seeing Wei Yumeng's firm stance, Mu Linjing smiled at her. "Since you've said so, I naturally support you. But if... I mean, if something similar happens again, I hope I can still help you."
"Yes, I'll definitely remember you." Wei Yumeng also smiled. "Who says you're my best friend? Of course, we'll face hardships together."
"By the way, have you heard recently how Mr. Wu's project is being handled?" Wei Yumeng suddenly asked, thinking Mu Linjing might hear something from Zhan Yichen.
Mu Linjing shook her head. "The situation isn't good. Although it seems like something has been investigated, Mr. Wu's uncooperative attitude is very troublesome." She paused here, realizing something. "Yumeng, are you going to..."
"Yes, since this is the mess I got myself into, I naturally have to find a way to resolve it myself."
Wei Yumeng's gaze was resolute, as if she had made up her mind to get to the bottom of this matter.
