Zhan Mohan looked at Chen Yutong, a guard appearing in his eyes.
The wedding of Chen Yutong and Zhan Yangyi was fast approaching, and he didn't want anything to happen at this time.
Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Mohan, her feelings difficult to conceal. Sometimes, liking someone was an involuntary act.
Although Zhan Mohan's wariness made Chen Yutong uncomfortable, simply being able to gaze at Zhan Mohan quietly was already a great happiness for her.
Before long, Wei Yumeng emerged wearing the clothes she had tried on. Zhan Mohan, who had been looking guarded, softened his gaze upon seeing her.
"How is this one?" Wei Yumeng was a little shy, as this dress was too bold for her usual style.
Clothes that accentuated her figure and were slightly revealing were only worn when she absolutely had to attend banquets or events.
Yet, this dress was clearly more suited for everyday wear, and Wei Yumeng could hardly imagine herself wearing it daily.
However, this Wei Yumeng made Zhan Mohan's eyes light up. He didn't dislike this version of her, and even though the dress looked simple, Wei Yumeng wore it with a stunning effect.
"Hey, look at that woman, she has such a great figure, and that dress looks amazing on her."
A passing man nearby stared, mesmerized.
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan turned and gave him a cold look, causing the man to quickly turn away.
Zhan Mohan thought for a moment and then searched the store for a jacket to match the dress. He draped it over Wei Yumeng and nodded with satisfaction.
"I'll take both of these."
Upon hearing this, the sales assistant happily went to ring up the purchase. Zhan Mohan's choices alone were enough to cover two months' worth of the store's revenue.
Chen Yutong witnessed Zhan Mohan's indulgence towards Wei Yumeng, including the shift in his gaze and the admiring expression.
She truly wished for such a look to be directed at her when Zhan Mohan looked at her, but she was unsure of what the future held. Nevertheless, she resolved to give it her best shot.
As this thought crossed her mind, she was suddenly reminded of Zhan Yangyi, the man who seemed genuinely interested in her.
However, she quickly shook her head, pushing Zhan Yangyi's image out of her mind. On the path to true love, she had only one choice and could not give up.
The subsequent activities among the three proceeded relatively harmoniously. Although Zhan Mohan had begun to intentionally keep his distance from Chen Yutong, and Chen Yutong naturally noticed this, she spent most of her time with Wei Yumeng.
Perhaps seeing the good relationship between Chen Yutong and Wei Yumeng, Zhan Mohan's expression relaxed noticeably when they parted, his worries apparently lessened.
"Thank you both so much for today," Chen Yutong said, appearing quite happy.
Wei Yumeng, however, looked a bit embarrassed. "It should be me thanking you. I was supposed to be helping you pick out a gift, but instead, you bought so much for me."
Wei Yumeng felt a little awkward as she spoke. She hadn't expected Zhan Mohan to be so generous when he rarely visited a mall.
It seemed that for almost any shop they passed, if Wei Yumeng liked something inside, or if an item caught her eye even slightly, Zhan Mohan would immediately purchase it.
Despite Wei Yumeng's attempts to stop him, Zhan Mohan told her, "I rarely get to take you out. Consider this my compensation."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng found herself unable to say anything more.
Chen Yutong looked at Wei Yumeng, then at Zhan Mohan. "You two have such a good relationship. I'm truly a little jealous."
Although she smiled as she spoke, she couldn't help but emphasize the word "jealous."
She was indeed jealous, wondering why she wasn't the one standing beside Zhan Mohan and receiving such treatment from him.
"There's really nothing to be jealous about. I believe Eldest Brother will treat you just as well."
After chatting with Chen Yutong for a while longer, Fang Xun arrived to pick them up.
Fang Xun had initially intended to give them all a ride back, but Chen Yutong insisted, and in the end, she did not get into the car.
How could Chen Yutong get into the car? Her plan for the day was to seize the opportunity to meet Zhan Mohan, but in reality, she had spent most of her time observing the bond between Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan.
This was incredibly painful for her, so how could she possibly share a car with them?
After seeing them off, Chen Yutong took a taxi home by herself.
She could have easily asked Zhan Yangyi to pick her up, but remembering that her objective for the day was Zhan Mohan, she couldn't bring herself to bother Zhan Yangyi at that moment.
However, she hadn't expected Zhan Yangyi to show up shortly after she returned home.
"Yangyi, why are you here?"
Chen Yutong was surprised and felt it was incredibly coincidental.
Zhan Yangyi walked in and said, "Yumeng called me just now. She said you didn't come back with them and was worried, so she asked me to pick you up. When I got there, I couldn't find you, so I figured you might have already returned home."
Chen Yutong then understood. "I'm sorry. I was planning to have you pick me up, but then I remembered you had a busy workday today, and I didn't want to disturb you."
Zhan Yangyi sighed. "Don't say things like that again. You're my person now, so no matter how much you disturb me, it will be out of my own willingness."
Hearing this, Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Yangyi, whose eyes were filled with deep affection.
Finally, she nodded. "I understand."
Perhaps it was because Chen Yutong had ceased any strange behavior during this period, and her relationship with Wei Yumeng had also improved through frequent contact.
Moreover, with Chen Yutong about to marry Zhan Yangyi, their upcoming wedding was widely publicized by the media. Under such an announcement, it was difficult for her to entertain any other thoughts.
Wei Yumeng now even felt that perhaps the past events and her suspicions were merely her being overly sensitive.
Wei Yumeng calculated the time. The wedding was drawing closer, and she and Zhan Mohan had even prepared their congratulatory gift, awaiting the day.
"Oh, right. I remember Yutong mentioning that today was the rehearsal for their wedding ceremony." Thinking about this even brought to mind her own wedding, involuntarily sparking a sense of happiness.
At that moment, a phone ringing interrupted her thoughts.
Wei Yumeng picked up her phone. The caller ID displayed Chen Yutong.
"Yutong, why are you calling at this hour? Aren't you having your wedding rehearsal today?"
