The next morning, Chen Yutong came to the living room and found that Zhan Mohan's family was all there.
"Dad, can we really go out to play together today?" Zhan Shiqing was overjoyed, as it had been a long time since their family had an outing.
Zhan Mohan nodded slightly, "Mm."
Wei Yumeng helped Zhan Shiqing arrange the breakfast on the table, "Being happy is one thing, but you still need to eat breakfast."
Zhan Jinzhi, standing to the side, noticed Chen Yutong.
Wei Yumeng's gaze followed Zhan Jinzhi's, and she finally saw Chen Yutong.
"Yutong, it seems like it will just be you at home today. Our family plans to go out. If you need anything, you can call me."
Chen Yutong put on a facade of indifference, but her hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
Yesterday, she had already witnessed that scene. Today, how could she let this family go out peacefully and as they pleased?
Chen Yutong looked apologetic, as if she had something difficult to say. Indeed, Wei Yumeng sensed this and looked at Chen Yutong with concern.
"What's wrong? Are you having trouble with something?"
Chen Yutong then spoke, "Actually, I had planned to have my agent take me for a prenatal check-up today, but she had something urgent come up. I originally wanted to ask you to take me, but it seems…" Chen Yutong smiled at Wei Yumeng as she spoke, "It's okay, I can reschedule with the hospital for this kind of thing. Tomorrow should be fine too. I can't let it delay your family's plans."
"Mom!" Zhan Shiqing was the first to voice her dissatisfaction, "Mom, let's not worry about her. She said tomorrow is also fine."
With that, Zhan Shiqing took Wei Yumeng's hand and walked towards the door.
However, as they reached the entrance, Wei Yumeng stopped.
Initially, she had harbored doubts about Chen Yutong's true situation, but now was undoubtedly a good opportunity to confirm her suspicions.
Wei Yumeng squatted down to look at Zhan Shiqing and said apologetically, "Shiqing, it seems I can't go with you today. You two be good with your dad, and listen to him, okay?"
Zhan Shiqing's face quickly fell, her eyes already brimming with tears.
Seeing this, Zhan Jinzhi walked over to Zhan Shiqing, "Shiqing, don't fuss. Mom is making this choice out of necessity."
But Zhan Shiqing shot Chen Yutong an angry glance and then walked out on her own.
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan. He simply reached out and stroked her hair, "Don't worry, leave the children to us."
Wei Yumeng nodded, watching Zhan Mohan leave with the children before she felt at ease.
Chen Yutong, seeing Wei Yumeng left behind alone, felt immensely proud. For her, her objective had been achieved.
She walked up to Wei Yumeng, her face full of apology, "Yumeng, I'm truly sorry."
Wei Yumeng just smiled at her, "It's okay. For the entire Zhan family now, you and the baby in your womb are the most important."
Chen Yutong grasped Wei Yumeng's hand, her face filled with gratitude, "Yumeng, thank you so much."
Looking at Chen Yutong before her, Wei Yumeng even had a moment where she truly wished that she had overthought things.
Soon, after they were ready, they set off for the hospital.
Along the way, Wei Yumeng kept reminding Chen Yutong to take care of herself, and Chen Yutong responded with kindness.
If only their relationship could maintain this harmony forever.
The hospital was bustling with people, but with beauties like Wei Yumeng and Chen Yutong present, they still managed to stand out, drawing frequent glances.
Led by a nurse, Chen Yutong and Wei Yumeng were taken to the prenatal check-up room.
Wei Yumeng even felt a bit nervous. Perhaps her worries and suspicions would be answered at this moment.
And now, there were only the two of them. If things were truly as she suspected, how would she conduct herself?
With this thought, Wei Yumeng couldn't help but look at Chen Yutong, who, however, seemed oblivious.
"Miss Chen, please come in with me," a nurse said, walking over.
Wei Yumeng watched as Chen Yutong was led away, and finally let out a small sigh of relief.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang. Unexpectedly, it was Zhan Mohan making a video call.
Wei Yumeng tapped to accept the video, and the faces of the children and Zhan Mohan appeared on the screen.
"Mom!" Zhan Shiqing exclaimed excitedly, seemingly having forgotten her earlier unhappiness.
Although Zhan Jinzhi remained silent, he appeared to be in a good mood as well.
Zhan Mohan asked Wei Yumeng, "How is it on your end?"
"Yutong just went in. I don't know the specifics yet."
"I know you insisted on going with her, and you have your reasons, right?"
Zhan Mohan's gentle eyes calmed Wei Yumeng's heart.
Wei Yumeng nodded, "I feel that some things can only be put to rest if I see them with my own eyes. Regardless of whether the outcome is good or bad, I'm mentally prepared."
"Send me the address of the hospital you're at."
Wei Yumeng was slightly taken aback. Was Zhan Mohan going to come over now?
"No need. You should still have a good day with the children. I can manage here alone."
Zhan Mohan shook his head, "I'll give the address to Jing Yan, or you can send it to him yourself. With him as a doctor, he should be able to spot any issues."
This reminded Wei Yumeng that having a professional there would naturally be beneficial.
"Then I'll send it myself."
The children chatted with Wei Yumeng for a while longer, and they only hung up when Chen Yutong came out.
"How do you feel?" Wei Yumeng asked Chen Yutong.
Chen Yutong shook her head, "I'm fine. The check-up went smoothly."
The nurse said to them, "Please wait a moment. The specific results of the prenatal check-up will be available after the doctor's report."
As the nurse spoke, Wei Yumeng observed her, thinking that if the two knew each other, there would be subtle tells.
But unfortunately, she saw nothing.
After they had sat for a while, a familiar figure appeared before them – it was Jing Yan.
However, he naturally didn't reveal that Wei Yumeng had asked him to come.
"Madam, and Miss Chen, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."
Chen Yutong smiled slightly, "It is indeed a coincidence. May I ask why Dr. Jing Yan is here in the gynecology department?"
Jing Yan looked a little awkward, "Of course, I'm not here for a check-up. It's just that a friend of mine is on duty at this hospital, and I came to see him."
Wei Yumeng looked at the two of them, sensing a subtle atmosphere. As expected, Chen Yutong was highly guarded.
Fortunately, Jing Yan was accustomed to dealing with all sorts of people, so he remained composed.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Chen, Mr. Zhan had previously asked me about some pregnancy-related matters. How are you feeling physically now?"
