Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Mohan, feeling that the feelings in her heart could no longer be hidden.
And now in this darkness, it gave her unparalleled security. After all, in such an environment, no one would see her, and no one would suspect her.
She already felt that Zhan Mohan had turned towards her upon hearing her words, and she could even feel his presence.
"Mohan, there's something I've always wanted to tell you, and I think it's something you've always wanted to know. It's caused you a lot of trouble, but I swear, my feelings for you have always been true," Chen Yutong whispered, her tone somewhat cautious, afraid that Zhan Mohan would be displeased upon hearing these words.
However, she paused for a moment and found that he did not refute her, which gave her more courage.
"Mohan, actually, the person I've always liked in my heart is you. My feelings for you started a long time ago. Perhaps you didn't pay attention back then, but you saved me and became the person in my heart that I will never forget."
As Chen Yutong spoke, she couldn't help but reach out her hand. In the darkness, she finally managed to find Zhan Mohan's hand and held it tightly.
"Mohan, I..."
But at this moment, the entire room suddenly lit up, and Chen Yutong was startled.
When she came to her senses, she saw everyone looking at her. And standing beside her was not Zhan Mohan, but Zhan Yangyi, with a look of fury on his face.
Chen Yutong abruptly let go of his hand and stumbled back a few steps in fear: "No, it's not... that, I hadn't finished what I was saying..."
Cold sweat dripped down her face. She knew she had likely been set up, but even so, she had to find a suitable excuse for herself.
Her face was filled with embarrassment, but she still said to Zhan Mohan, "Mohan, I know there are many things from the past that I can't forget immediately, but now I am Yangyi's wife, so I..."
However, before she could finish speaking, she was slapped. She looked at Zhan Yangyi in disbelief.
"Yangyi..." She immediately deflated, knowing that whatever she said now was useless.
Old Master Zhan, who was standing by, stepped forward and said with a cold face, "Yangyi, now you know what kind of person the woman you married is?"
"Yutong, you actually... You approached me all along for him, didn't you? And the previous incident, you arranged it too, didn't you?" Zhan Yangyi's eyes were blinded by rage. He couldn't help but slightly tighten his grip on Chen Yutong's hand.
Chen Yutong struggled but could not break free from his hold.
"It's not like that, Yangyi, you have to believe me. I didn't lie to you before, everything I said was true. Can you let me explain clearly?"
"What else is there to say? How do you expect me to treat everything I just heard? As if nothing happened?"
Wei Yumeng saw the situation between the two and felt a pang of pity. At the beginning of the birthday party, they had seemed so affectionate. Although that scene might have just been Chen Yutong's pretense.
Chen Yutong retaliated by grabbing Zhan Yangyi's hand: "Yangyi, I love you now. I was just trying to talk about the past. I did like Mohan before, but now I am yours. This will never change. I didn't lie to you."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan glanced at Old Master Zhan.
Old Master Zhan sighed and was then helped to a seat by the butler.
Only then did Zhan Mohan signal to the outside. Soon, Fang Xun entered with some people. Chen Yutong's body stiffened even more upon seeing them.
"Mr. Zhan... Mr. Zhan..." The nurse looked timid, as if she had never seen so many important figures at once.
However, Doctor Ji looked resigned, as if he knew he would face misfortune after stepping forward today.
Zhan Mohan said calmly, "Tell us everything you know."
The nurse then said, "It's like this. The day before Miss Chen came to us for a prenatal check-up, she had already contacted us by phone. She asked us to cooperate with her in a staged examination and promised us a large reward afterward."
"You're lying! I don't know you at all!" Chen Yutong said furiously to the nurse.
Her aggressive tone startled the nurse, who immediately dared not speak.
Fang Xun, however, said to Wei Yumeng, "Madam, when you were present at the prenatal check-up, you saw this nurse, right?"
Wei Yumeng nodded: "Yes, I asked her about Yutong's condition, so I remember very clearly."
"Then what Miss Chen just said doesn't hold up," Fang Xun continued. "If Miss Chen had her prenatal check-up with this doctor on the day of the examination, how could she not know this nurse? Unless it's just a statement to distance herself from the situation."
Chen Yutong's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she no longer knew how to refute this.
Zhan Mohan gestured to Fang Xun, and Fang Xun then patted Doctor Ji on the shoulder: "It's your turn."
Doctor Ji then said, "I... I can confirm that this lady is not pregnant at all."
"What?" Zhan Yangyi swayed, finding it hard to believe, yet it seemed to remind him of something.
In fact, he himself had not been entirely unaware and had even suspected that Chen Yutong had never been intimate with him.
He couldn't remember the details of what happened each time. How could such coincidences occur so frequently?
"No... you're framing me... why are you doing this to me?" Chen Yutong looked at the two of them with hatred in her eyes.
Doctor Ji calmly looked back at her: "Everything I said is true."
"I know. It must be that you deliberately colluded with them and framed me, right? Because... because Wei Yumeng pushed me down the stairs before, and you want to protect her, right?"
Chen Yutong cried, clutching her head in pain. "Why are you doing this to me? I never intended to blame you. Yangyi, you can't be deceived by them, you must believe me! You will believe me, won't you?"
As she spoke, she leaned closer to Zhan Yangyi and reached out to grasp his arm.
But Zhan Yangyi remained silent for a moment, and finally withdrew his arm from her grasp.
Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Yangyi in disbelief, and took a few steps back in disappointment.
"Yangyi, how can you treat me like this? I am your wife, why can't you believe me? Why have you never believed me?"
Zhan Yangyi looked at Chen Yutong. Although he felt some regret, the current evidence was sufficient to explain everything.
