Chapter 1054 I Also Don't Have Many Friends

Wei Yumeng really hadn't expected Chen Yutong and Zhan Yangyi to visit their home.

"I'm sorry, our visit was rather sudden. Did we disturb you?" Chen Yutong said with a face full of apology.

After all, today was a rare holiday. It was even more difficult for someone as busy as Zhan Mohan to have this day off, and they chose to visit at this very moment.

Seeing Chen Yutong still brought back memories of previous photos for Wei Yumeng, but fortunately, she could now convince herself not to dwell on that matter too much.

"It's okay. We're used to working anyway. Now that we have time off, we don't know what to do with ourselves at home. Your visit makes things livelier," Wei Yumeng said, taking the items Chen Yutong brought from her hands.

Zhan Mohan only glanced up at them briefly before continuing with his work.

Zhan Yangyi walked over and started talking to Zhan Mohan about something.

Chen Yutong looked at Wei Yumeng, hesitated for a while, and then finally said, "Actually, I came here specifically to find you this time."

Wei Yumeng's hand movements paused slightly, but she quickly sighed. She naturally knew what Chen Yutong was referring to.

"Mohan has already explained that matter to me. So, let's just treat it as a joke and not dwell on it."

As Wei Yumeng spoke, she observed Chen Yutong's expression and could at least confirm that Chen Yutong seemed genuinely sorry about the incident.

"By the way," Chen Yutong suddenly said, "The things I brought earlier taste quite good. You should try them."

Wei Yumeng smiled and nodded, then took the items and went into the kitchen. However, when she opened the bag, she found that most of the food was in Zhan Mohan's preferred flavors.

Seeing this, Wei Yumeng's heart tightened. Although it was possible that Zhan Yangyi had told Chen Yutong what to buy, she still felt something was off.

However, she patted her own face. After all, no matter how she looked at it, Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong's relationship seemed very intimate. Why should she overthink things?

So, she prepared the food and brought it out to the coffee table.

"Mohan, try these. Yutong and I bought them especially for you."

Zhan Mohan glanced up slightly but didn't take anything. Instead, he turned to Wei Yumeng and said, "Ask the children to come out and try them too."

Wei Yumeng then went to check if the children had finished their homework.

Zhan Yangyi watched Zhan Mohan, who, despite it being a holiday, was constantly engrossed in his computer screen. He couldn't help but snatch the laptop away.

"Since it's a rest day, you should rest properly. It's rare for Yutong and I to visit. Can't you give us some face?"

Zhan Mohan sighed and put down the computer. "Why do you have time to visit today?"

"It was Yutong's idea. She knows that the incident with the photos must have had quite an impact on your family, so she came personally to apologize to you."

After hearing Zhan Yangyi's words, Zhan Mohan glanced at Chen Yutong, and Chen Yutong returned his gaze with a slight smile.

"That matter is resolved. Yu Meng and I have already clarified things."

Zhan Yangyi nodded. "That's good. But don't cancel your cooperation with Yutong because of this."

Zhan Mohan replied indifferently, "Of course not."

Watching Zhan Yangyi and Zhan Mohan chat idly, Chen Yutong's attention was focused on Zhan Mohan.

Although she had specifically bought a lot of food that Zhan Mohan liked, he hadn't eaten any of it, nor had he even looked at it.

She felt a bit dejected. Some of these items had been very difficult for her to obtain, all for the sole purpose of seeing Zhan Mohan's happy expression when he ate them.

Soon, Wei Yumeng and the two children came out of the house. Zhan Mohan then reached for some snacks and handed them to Zhan Shiqing and Zhan Jinzhi.

He then turned to Wei Yumeng and said, "Yu Meng, I'm a bit hungry too. Could you cook me a bowl of noodles?"

Wei Yumeng was a little surprised. There was so much food, yet Zhan Mohan insisted on having noodles at this moment.

However, she didn't overthink it and went back into the kitchen to prepare them.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yutong couldn't help but clench her fists.

She finally understood. Zhan Mohan was probably deliberately not eating the food she brought. It meant that no matter how valuable or good the items she sent were, they couldn't compare to a bowl of noodles personally made by Wei Yumeng.

After everyone finished eating, the atmosphere was quite pleasant. Wei Yumeng even managed to chat with Chen Yutong about topics they both found interesting.

However, at this moment, Zhan Mohan received a phone call. He frowned and then stood up.

"I'm sorry, something has come up at the company, and I need to go out."

Wei Yumeng asked with concern, "Is it serious? Will it be troublesome?"

Zhan Mohan shook his head. "It's not particularly troublesome, but things can't be finalized without my presence."

Wei Yumeng understood. "Okay, then be careful."

At this point, Chen Yutong suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Zhan, is the matter you're talking about our project?"

Zhan Yangyi was also taken aback. Was it such a coincidence?

Zhan Mohan hadn't intended to involve Chen Yutong, but he hadn't expected her to find out.

Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Mohan apologetically. "Mr. Zhan, it seems I'll have to go with you on this matter. Could you possibly give me a ride?"

Zhan Mohan looked at Chen Yutong and thought of the previous rumors. However, since this matter involved work, he found it difficult to refuse.

Seeing Zhan Mohan's hesitation, Wei Yumeng spoke up. "Mohan, since you're going the same way, why don't you go together? It will save a lot of time."

Zhan Mohan nodded slightly, turned, and walked out.

Chen Yutong bid farewell to Zhan Yangyi and then quickly followed.

Wei Yumeng watched the two figures leave, her heart still filled with a sense of unease.

On one hand, she was worried about whether Zhan Mohan's project would encounter any major problems. On the other hand, even she couldn't quite articulate her feelings.

Chen Yutong got into Zhan Mohan's car and deliberately sat in the passenger seat, which was originally Wei Yumeng's usual spot.

"Mr. Zhan, thank you for the trouble."

Zhan Mohan didn't reply, focusing solely on starting the car.

Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward, opportunities to be alone with Zhan Mohan in such a space were rare. She was determined to find something to talk about.

"Thank you for your hospitality today, Mr. Zhan. If there's a chance in the future, can I visit Yumeng more often?"

"You can," Zhan Mohan replied, but his tone was cold and distant.

Chen Yutong, however, seemed unfazed, even somewhat excited. "That's great! I don't really have any close friends here, but I really enjoy chatting with Yumeng."
