Hearing this, Wei Yumeng suddenly understood why Zhan Mohan had asked her to come here.
Perhaps he wanted to use this opportunity to tell her what had truly happened.
"Come here," Zhan Mohan pulled Wei Yumeng into the dressing room. "Does this place look familiar?"
Wei Yumeng surveyed her surroundings and then realized that it was exactly the same as the background in the photograph.
"This is the place from the photo."
Zhan Mohan nodded. "I had someone recreate the scene. See that bucket of water there, and the puddle on the floor?"
Wei Yumeng instantly understood. Chen Yutong had likely fallen onto Zhan Mohan because she had stepped in the water and slipped.
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng with a sincere expression, as if waiting for her answer.
Although Wei Yumeng now knew what had happened, she still pretended to be angry.
"Even if I know what happened, so what? You two still..." She trailed off, noticing Zhan Mohan moving closer to her. "Still so close."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan simply reached out, wrapped an arm around her, and pulled Wei Yumeng into his embrace.
"Do you mean this close?" Zhan Mohan asked, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Wei Yumeng pushed him away, somewhat annoyed. "Be serious, I'm still angry."
Zhan Mohan looked at her gently. "I know, but I think the photographers are ready. Let's not waste their time. Can we save your anger for when we get home?"
Wei Yumeng looked at him with confusion, unsure what he meant.
A moment later, a makeup artist entered. "Mr. Zhan, Mrs. Zhan, we are ready. Let Mrs. Zhan get ready first, and you two can talk later."
Before Wei Yumeng could even react, she was pulled into the makeup room by the artist to be dressed.
She was so caught off guard that she didn't even realize what was happening until she was being pulled along with Zhan Mohan to take photos.
Only after the entire photoshoot was finished did Wei Yumeng have the chance to ask Zhan Mohan, "Mohan, what is going on?"
Zhan Mohan curved his lips. "I think these photos turned out well. It's time to release them to the public."
Wei Yumeng suddenly understood. With the rumors surrounding Zhan Mohan and Chen Yutong currently at their peak, releasing her and Zhan Mohan's photoshoot now would be the perfect weapon to crush those rumors.
"You can rest easy now, can't you?" Zhan Mohan asked softly.
Wei Yumeng nodded slightly. Zhan Mohan had considered so much, while she had only been consumed by jealousy, seemingly doing nothing else.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have suspected you like that before."
Zhan Mohan simply let out a breath of relief. "I told you, there's nothing wrong with you being like that."
After Zhan Mohan's efforts, his relationship with Wei Yumeng had returned to normal. However, the situation on the other side was far from good.
When Zhan Yang saw the photos, he was furious.
He couldn't understand what charm Zhan Mohan possessed that every woman he desired, or liked, always ended up with Zhan Mohan.
When Chen Yutong arrived at the Zhan Yang family's residence, she only saw him with a dark expression, like a ticking time bomb about to explode. Even the household servants appeared timid and fearful.
"Yang Yi," Chen Yutong said softly, afraid of accidentally setting off the bomb.
Zhan Yang Yi merely looked up at Chen Yutong briefly. "What do you have to say about that photo?"
Chen Yutong's face was full of grievance. "Yang Yi, listen to me, it's not at all what the media is saying."
"Alright, then tell me properly. What exactly happened?" Zhan Yang Yi's tone was dangerously low, as if any wrong word from Chen Yutong would send her to hell.
Chen Yutong, naturally, noticed Zhan Yang Yi's reaction and became even more cautious. "It's like this, that day was just an accident. I slipped, and Mr. Zhan just happened to be standing there."
"Such a coincidence?" Zhan Yang Yi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, clearly skeptical.
"Of course it's true. You should know best who I like." Saying this, Chen Yutong looked wronged. "We haven't known each other for long, but you shouldn't doubt me so much, should you? You'd rather believe the nonsense online than trust me?"
After saying this, she stood up and turned her back to Zhan Yang Yi. "I thought you were different from other men, that you would at least trust me. But it seems that's not the case at all."
Chen Yutong looked dejected and even made a move as if to leave.
But before she could take a step, Zhan Yang Yi grabbed her arm.
"I'm sorry... I..." Zhan Yang Yi now felt that Chen Yutong had a point. After all, the media always exaggerated. "Yutong, please forgive me. I just saw the photo and couldn't help but feel a bit concerned, so I didn't think things through. Don't go, I apologize."
Chen Yutong choked back a sob. "Then you have to promise me that you'll never suspect me like this again."
Zhan Yang Yi softened his voice. "I swear, I promise I won't do it again."
Chen Yutong then turned to look at Zhan Yang Yi. "Mm, then I'll forgive you for now."
Zhan Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Chen Yutong into his arms. "I'm truly sorry. This will never happen again, I promise."
In Zhan Yang Yi's arms, Chen Yutong also felt relieved. No matter what, she had managed to talk her way out of this situation.
She hadn't achieved her goal yet, so she still needed to maintain her identity as Zhan Yang Yi's girlfriend. If Zhan Yang Yi broke up with her now, she would truly have no opportunity or reason to interact with Zhan Mohan.
However, if Zhan Yang Yi reacted this way, one could only imagine how Wei Yumeng, as Zhan Mohan's wife, would feel.
Chen Yutong could even imagine the mindset of his wife when her husband was involved in such rumors with another woman.
Therefore, in order to stay by Zhan Mohan's side for a while longer, she could only take the initiative and try to appease Wei Yumeng.
"By the way, Yang Yi, I'm really sorry about this incident. I'm sure Yumeng must also be having a hard time. Shall we go visit them tomorrow?" Chen Yutong suggested.
If she were to visit the Zhan family alone again at this point, some things would likely only get worse. Therefore, it was a better choice for Zhan Yang Yi to accompany her.
