Seeing Wei Yumeng's displeased expression, Zhan Mohan quickly walked towards her, leaving Bai Qing behind. "Wife, it's not like..."
Before he could finish, Wei Yumeng raised her hand. "It's fine, I know everything."
She helped Zhan Mohan adjust his tie. At this moment, Bai Qing also walked over and explained what had just happened.
"Mrs. Zhan, please don't misunderstand. President Zhan and I were just discussing some matters. If anything I did caused you any misunderstanding, I apologize to you on behalf of President Zhan."
Seeing the genuine apology in her expression, Wei Yumeng became even angrier. Why was she apologizing to someone else's husband on their behalf?
However, considering her relationship with Jing Yan, Wei Yumeng couldn't really lose her temper. Instead, she forced a smile, pretending to be magnanimous.
"How could I misunderstand? I know exactly what kind of person my husband is. He only has eyes for me, right, husband?"
Zhan Mohan had just nodded when Bai Qing interjected before he could say anything else, "I don't think so?"
At these words, both husband and wife's expressions changed. Wei Yumeng's gaze towards Bai Qing was now filled with hostility.
Unexpectedly, she let out a chuckle. "I was just joking. President Zhan should also have your child in his heart."
Although what she said was true, Wei Yumeng felt that Bai Qing hadn't meant it that way initially. She could only smile faintly, feigning peace while inwardly cursing.
"Miss Bai, since you've passed the interview, you can go back and congratulate Jing Yan. I need to accompany my wife upstairs. I won't be seeing you out."
Zhan Mohan issued the order to leave. Bai Qing didn't linger. "Then, boss, I'll see you on Monday. Jing Yan will definitely be grateful to you, his good friend, when he finds out."
The implication was that Zhan Mohan had been biased.
Wei Yumeng could no longer tolerate it. Angered, she stormed back into Zhan Mohan's office and closed the door before venting her frustration.
"What does she mean by that, implying things to me? Don't I know what kind of person my husband is? Does she need to tell me?"
The good mood from passing the interview was ruined by Bai Qing's few words. Wei Yumeng, furious, paced back and forth in the office with her hands on her hips. Unable to find suitable words to express her feelings, she finally plopped down onto a chair and sulked.
Seeing her upset, Zhan Mohan found it rather cute. He couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "Is my wife jealous?"
Wei Yumeng slapped his hand away and retorted, "Can't I be?"
"Of course, you can. My wife looks adorable when she's jealous."
After getting married, Zhan Mohan's skills in appeasing his wife had improved. With a few words, he managed to soothe Wei Yumeng's emotions.
In reality, both of them knew that getting angry at each other was pointless. The issue was Bai Qing's restlessness, and Zhan Mohan had unfortunately become the target.
After calming down, Wei Yumeng sighed. "Do you think this matter needs to be discussed with Jing Yan?"
Logically, as friends, they should remind him. However, this was still his personal affair, and it would be somewhat awkward to bring up.
Zhan Mohan considered for a moment and decided he should tell Jing Yan. He had been deeply hurt by what happened with Jiang Siyu, and now with Bai Qing involved, he worried Jing Yan wouldn't be able to handle it. However, Zhan Mohan's principle was to cut losses promptly. If he knew Bai Qing was restless and didn't tell Jing Yan, then when they eventually got married and registered their union, the trouble would be even greater.
"Alright, wife, let's not talk about these unpleasant things. How was your interview? Tell me about it."
Wei Yumeng then remembered the purpose of her visit. With Bai Qing's interruption, she had almost forgotten that she had good news to share.
"The interview results were excellent, of course. I was hired on the spot, and they want me to start on Monday. Am I amazing?"
She tilted her head, awaiting Zhan Mohan's praise.
Zhan Mohan obliged by kissing her forehead. "Of course, my wife is the most amazing. I knew this would be the outcome; there was no suspense involved."
Pleased by the praise, Wei Yumeng forgot her earlier unhappiness. Thinking about returning to work on Monday, she wanted Zhan Mohan to teach her some practical skills.
So, after Zhan Mohan finished his work, they sat in the office for a while longer before returning home together.
Upon arriving home, dinner was already being prepared.
At the dinner table, Wei Yumeng first shared her good news with everyone. They were all happy for her.
Old Master Zhan also announced something. "Jing Yan is bringing his girlfriend over for dinner tomorrow. Please cancel any unimportant gatherings and social engagements. Jing Yan hasn't been back for a long time, let's have a lively reunion."
With Old Master Zhan's decree, everyone naturally complied. However, the thought of facing Bai Qing again the next day cast a shadow over Wei Yumeng's mood, as she hadn't forgotten Bai Qing's words and actions that day. If Bai Qing harbored any improper intentions, it would be embarrassing if any unpleasant incidents occurred at Zhan Corporation.
Sensing his wife's unusual emotions, Zhan Mohan patted her hand reassuringly, signaling her not to be too obvious in front of their grandfather. Their grandfather was old, and as grandchildren, they should try their best to shield him from any worries.
Wei Yumeng understood and managed to suppress her feelings.
The next morning, Jing Yan arrived early with Bai Qing.
Since it had been a while since he last visited Old Master Zhan, and it was the first time bringing his girlfriend, Jing Yan brought many gifts. Some of the heavier items were carried by Bai Qing.
Seeing the pile of gifts, Old Master Zhan hurried to greet them.
Bai Qing directly handed the items she was carrying to Zhan Mohan. "Thank you, President Zhan."
Wei Yumeng hadn't noticed them at first, but Bai Qing's words drew her attention. What was this? There were servants nearby, so why hand them to Zhan Mohan instead of the staff?
Jing Yan, oblivious to this detail, was talking to Old Master Zhan. After not seeing each other for a long time, Old Master Zhan was happy to chat with him.
"Oh, Grandpa, I forgot to introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Bai Qing. She's returned with me this time."
"Bai Qing, this is Grandpa Zhan."
Bai Qing politely greeted Old Master Zhan. "Grandpa Zhan, you must be President Zhan's grandfather. No wonder President Zhan is so outstanding; it must be due to your excellent guidance."
While these words sounded like praise, upon closer inspection, they still revolved around Zhan Mohan. Wei Yumeng felt a stone lodging in her heart whenever someone always mentioned her husband.
