Because of Chai Yanyu's involvement, Wei Yumeng received even higher-level treatment. She personally inspected the working environment of Fengxing Group and even supervised the local operations.
Those who didn't know would have thought Wei Yumeng was the new head of Fengxing Group.
Aside from Chai Yanyu constantly hovering around Wei Yumeng, she was quite satisfied with Fengxing Group's capabilities. As she had anticipated, cooperating with such a company was undoubtedly a good thing for Fengshi Group.
Although Chai Yanyu tried his best to persuade Wei Yumeng to stay when he learned she planned to leave, he ultimately couldn't.
When Wei Yumeng deplaned and returned to Pengcheng, she felt as though she could finally breathe freely. Those few days of constant entanglement with Chai Yanyu had left her feeling suffocated.
Wei Yumeng picked up her luggage and looked up to see Zhan Mohan waiting for her.
Though they had only been apart for a few days, Wei Yumeng felt as though months had passed.
"Mohan." Wei Yumeng hurried to Zhan Mohan's side and couldn't resist hugging him, "I'm back."
Zhan Mohan gently hugged her back, "Yes, welcome back."
"Actually, if you were busy, you didn't have to come pick me up. I could have managed on my own."
But Zhan Mohan chuckled and said, "No matter how busy I am, I want to be the first person you see when you return here."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng smiled at him, "Then congratulations, you succeeded."
Zhan Mohan took Wei Yumeng's luggage. As they were about to leave, another voice called out from behind them.
"Sister."
Hearing this voice, Wei Yumeng froze. She had thought she could escape Chai Yanyu by returning to Pengcheng, but why was he here too?
Wei Yumeng initially wanted to pretend she hadn't heard him, but Chai Yanyu jogged over and blocked their path.
"Sister, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Chai Yanyu looked at Wei Yumeng with a smile.
Wei Yumeng rubbed her forehead, "Mr. Chai, I also didn't expect you to come to Pengcheng."
"I'm here for some business. By the way, Sister..." He then looked at Zhan Mohan, "Is he your bodyguard?"
Wei Yumeng blinked. She turned to look at Zhan Mohan, who was holding her luggage, and his expression had darkened considerably.
She quickly explained, "No, he is my husband, and also the President of Zhan Group."
Then she explained to Zhan Mohan, "This is Chai Yanyu, the current President of Chai Group, and also the parent company of Fengxing Group, a partner of Fengshi Group."
As she said this, she also tugged at Zhan Mohan's sleeve, reminding him to give Chai Yanyu some face and not to lose his temper here.
However, before Zhan Mohan could speak, Chai Yanyu interjected again, "So he's Sister's husband. He always has a cold expression. I'm afraid you'll get bored always being with him, Sister? With me, you'll never be bored."
Wei Yumeng was speechless. She tried to salvage the awkward situation, but Chai Yanyu's words were relentless.
Besides, being with Chai Yanyu was not just not boring; it was utterly irritating.
To the point where Wei Yumeng now got a headache just hearing the term "sister."
However, it was rare for anyone to make Zhan Mohan seem so flustered, which gave Wei Yumeng a little bit of amusement.
Zhan Mohan clearly had no intention of conversing further with Chai Yanyu. He simply took Wei Yumeng's hand and quickly walked out of the airport.
Chai Yanyu didn't chase after them. Instead, he watched their retreating figures with a meaningful smile.
Only after they got into the car did Wei Yumeng speak to Zhan Mohan, "Mr. Chai and I have nothing going on. His personality is just like that, please don't mind him."
Zhan Mohan sighed, "I wouldn't lose my temper with a junior like him."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng breathed a sigh of relief. "But thanks to him, my trip to C City this time was quite fruitful."
"The voice on the phone that day, was it him too?" Zhan Mohan asked, frowning.
"Yes." At this point, Wei Yumeng hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.
Zhan Mohan turned to look at Wei Yumeng and continued, "So you had just woken up from drinking heavily and answered my call, and he happened to be by your side?"
Wei Yumeng's mind went blank at Zhan Mohan's words, implying that she and Chai Yanyu...
"No, it's not like that."
Zhan Mohan's tone was slightly angry, "Then what is it like?"
"I was indeed drunk and was sent to a hotel. He happened to be staying at the same hotel, and he came to my room to check on me, and then your call came through."
As Wei Yumeng spoke, she clutched her head in confusion, almost not knowing what she was saying.
When she looked up at Zhan Mohan again, she found only amusement in his eyes.
Wei Yumeng immediately understood. Zhan Mohan had likely said that deliberately to tease her.
"Mohan, you..." Wei Yumeng was slightly angry. She had been genuinely scared just now.
Zhan Mohan just looked at her with tenderness, "Don't worry, no matter the circumstances, I will believe you."
Wei Yumeng nodded, feeling warmth in her heart. If Zhan Mohan hadn't brought this up now, and it had been brought up later when their relationship was more entangled, it would have been even more chaotic.
Clearing things up now was undoubtedly the best way to handle it.
When Wei Yumeng returned home, she found the two children waiting for her at the front door.
Seeing Wei Yumeng, Zhan Shiqing ran towards her.
"Mommy, Shiqing missed you so much."
Wei Yumeng hugged Zhan Shiqing, "Mommy missed you too."
Zhan Jinzhi, as usual, watched them quietly from the side.
Because of these few days away, Wei Yumeng missed her children even more, so she spent a long time with them.
"By the way, Mommy? Daddy was frantic the night before last," Zhan Shiqing suddenly said.
Wei Yumeng thought back. It seemed to be around the time she was drunk and unreachable.
Zhan Jinzhi also spoke up for the first time in a while, "Daddy called Uncle Fang and even planned to fly his private jet over."
Zhan Shiqing nodded, "But Daddy didn't know Mommy's exact location, so that plan was forcibly canceled. However, Daddy barely slept all night, waiting for Mommy's call."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng felt apologetic. If she hadn't been careless then, this wouldn't have happened.
Ultimately, this was her fault, and she felt she needed to apologize sincerely to Zhan Mohan.
With this thought, she walked out of the children's room. Zhan Shiqing and Zhan Jinzhi exchanged a knowing glance; they had deliberately told Wei Yumeng this.
