Chai Yanyu’s lips curved slightly as he watched Wei Yumeng carefully put away the necklace.
“A woman like my sister must be very popular with men, right?” he suddenly asked.
Wei Yumeng blinked in surprise. Chai Yanyu clearly knew she was married, yet he chose to bring up such a topic.
Wei Yumeng felt a little awkward. “I’m already a mother of two. How could anyone be interested in someone like me?”
“That’s not necessarily true,” Chai Yanyu said, his eyes full of smiles as he gazed into Wei Yumeng’s. “For example…”
He leaned closer to Wei Yumeng, his tone a little mysterious. “I can guarantee that there are other men interested in you right now.”
Chai Yanyu’s eyes were different from Zhan Mohan’s. Zhan Mohan’s were more mature and deep, while Chai Yanyu’s were gentle and handsome, causing Wei Yumeng to momentarily lose herself.
However, she quickly regained her composure and turned her face away unnaturally. “Mr. Chai, please stop teasing me.”
“How can this be considered teasing? I genuinely feel this way. Moreover, sister, I think your current husband is a bit too indifferent. If it were me, I would make life more interesting.”
As Chai Yanyu spoke, he casually picked up a strand of Wei Yumeng’s hair and played with it.
Wei Yumeng felt that the atmosphere was becoming too delicate, and she really wanted to end the topic quickly.
But Chai Yanyu had no intention of stopping. He leaned closer to Wei Yumeng again, their distance now excessively close.
The look in Chai Yanyu’s eyes as he gazed at Wei Yumeng grew increasingly affectionate.
Wei Yumeng tried to shift her position, but Chai Yanyu quickly moved closer, his smile deepening.
Wei Yumeng thought that Chai Yanyu was already good-looking, and when he smiled, the warmth reaching his eyes made him even more so.
But at this moment, she truly didn’t have the mood to consider so much.
“Sister, why are you avoiding me?”
Wei Yumeng found it difficult to speak smoothly. “I… I’m not…”
Chai Yanyu deliberately moved closer to Wei Yumeng again. “Hmm? You say you’re not?”
As expected, Wei Yumeng instinctively shifted again. She really didn’t know how to handle such a situation anymore.
Wei Yumeng was now sitting at the very edge of the sofa, with nowhere else to move.
Just then, Wu Yi’s voice could be heard from outside the door.
“Ms. Wei, there are some matters that require your attention.”
Wei Yumeng had never thought Wu Yi’s voice could sound so pleasant. The timing was indeed perfect.
Chai Yanyu frowned in displeasure, having to let go of Wei Yumeng’s hair. He even felt a sense of loss.
Wei Yumeng gave Chai Yanyu an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, Mr. Chai, I might have to excuse myself. However, I will have Wu Yi show you around other places.”
“No need,” Chai Yanyu said, standing up and stretching lazily. “I’ve already bothered you enough today. I’ll be staying in Pengcheng for some time, so there will be plenty of opportunities to see things later. I won’t disturb your work today.”
As Chai Yanyu spoke, he smiled at Wei Yumeng. “But sister, what I said earlier was serious.”
After saying this, and before Wei Yumeng could react, Chai Yanyu opened the office door and walked out on his own.
Only when Chai Yanyu was completely out of sight did Wei Yumeng let out a sigh of relief. She was increasingly baffled by what Chai Yanyu was trying to do.
He had said he wanted to visit Feng Group, yet he had only sat in the office for a while before leaving.
However, Wei Yumeng confirmed again that she was truly not good at dealing with people like him.
Seeing Wei Yumeng’s troubled expression, Wu Yi asked with concern, “Ms. Wei, are you alright? You look a little pale.”
Wei Yumeng touched her face. She didn’t feel anything, but she felt that dealing with Chai Yanyu was far more tiring than dealing with other business partners.
“I’m fine. Let’s go and deal with the problem.”
Just as she was about to move, Wu Yi said, “Ms. Wei, there’s actually nothing for you to handle. I just saw that you two hadn’t come out for a long time, so I was a little worried and made an excuse.”
Wei Yumeng gave Wu Yi a grateful look. “Thank you, Wu Yi. It’s all thanks to you.”
Although Wu Yi didn’t know what had happened between them, seeing Wei Yumeng so distressed suggested that Chai Yanyu was indeed difficult to deal with.
No one expected that an exchange between two companies would be deliberately photographed by someone with ulterior motives and posted online.
When Wei Yumeng saw the news, the matter had already become a sensation online.
“I’ve always heard that Mr. Chai of Chai Group in City C is young, capable, and handsome. Seeing him today, he’s indeed good-looking. I really want to have his babies.”
“Forget it. Didn’t you see the look in Mr. Chai’s eyes as he looked at Ms. Wei of Feng Group in the photo? Oh my, that’s true love.”
“Yes, yes! Everyone, I declare that I’m shipping this couple!”
Wei Yumeng couldn’t bear to read more than a few comments.
She had never thought about getting involved in scandals with other men, let alone with Chai Yanyu.
Wei Yumeng was not worried about her own situation. Her greatest concern was how Zhan Mohan would react to this news.
Just thinking about it made her heart panic. How could she explain this to Zhan Mohan so he would understand?
Wei Yumeng looked closely at the photos, trying to figure out who had taken and posted them online, but found nothing.
The background of these photos was the lobby of Feng Group, which was open to the public. People came and went frequently, so it was impossible to identify the source from these details.
However, it was fortunate that the photos only showed the lobby. The thought of the ambiguous atmosphere in the office at the time made Wei Yumeng feel uneasy.
Just then, the sound of a key unlocking the door could be heard from outside.
Wei Yumeng quickly closed the laptop on the desk. A moment later, Zhan Mohan walked in.
“Did your work go smoothly today?” Wei Yumeng asked as she took Zhan Mohan’s coat.
She sounded a little guilty as she spoke, unsure if Zhan Mohan had seen the news.
“Mm,” Zhan Mohan replied expressionlessly.
This made Wei Yumeng panic even more. Such a response indicated that Zhan Mohan was not in a good mood.
“Mohan…” Wei Yumeng was still trying to figure out how to speak when Zhan Mohan suddenly pulled her into his embrace.
“Tell me, what exactly happened between you and Chai Yanyu?” Zhan Mohan’s voice was hoarse, and he was clearly suppressing his anger.
