Not long after, Ren Zhao, along with bodyguards, drove away those annoying reporters.
"Mr. Zhan, we've handled it, but these reporters probably won't give up so easily," Ren Zhao said, glancing at Chen Yutong.
Zhan Yangyi naturally understood this. Now, with him by Chen Yutong's side, he could protect her. But what about when he wasn't around?
Moreover, he had already decided to divorce Chen Yutong, meaning she would be living alone from now on. How could he rest assured?
Chen Yutong took a step closer to Zhan Yangyi. "Actually, I have a way. As long as we jointly and publicly clarify that we have no intention of divorcing, all of this will end."
But Zhan Yangyi didn't answer. Agreeing to this would be equivalent to agreeing not to divorce Chen Yutong.
"Let's leave this for now," Zhan Yangyi said, then looked at Ren Zhao again. "Arrange for some bodyguards for me these next few days. Protect her."
After speaking, Zhan Yangyi walked out of the house on his own.
Ren Zhao also sighed, looking at Chen Yutong with apology in his eyes.
He had initially raised the issue hoping that Zhan Yangyi would resolve it using the method Chen Yutong suggested, but Zhan Yangyi's decision seemed more resolute than expected.
Chen Yutong felt a pang of sadness, but she still took a deep breath. No matter what challenges she faced this time, she would not be defeated again.
Under Zhan Yangyi's arrangements, Chen Yutong encountered no reporters for the next few days.
However, precisely because the two of them had not clarified their relationship, rumors about them on the internet grew, and some public opinion even spiraled out of control.
Seeing the news, Chen Yutong naturally felt unwell, but she also knew that the core of resolving this matter lay in the relationship between the two of them.
So, regardless of what the internet said about the situation, her priority was to win Zhan Yangyi back.
Although Wei Yumeng thought that after the incident at the bar, Chen Yutong and Zhan Yangyi's relationship should have improved in some way.
However, she never expected that there would be no good news from them until now, and even the public opinion online was intensifying.
Wei Yumeng was already pacing back and forth in her room with worry.
Mu Linjing looked up at Wei Yumeng, feeling helpless. "Yumeng, can you stop pacing? You were the one who said you wouldn't interfere too much before, and now you're the one who's worried. I really don't understand what you're thinking sometimes."
Wei Yumeng felt a bit awkward. She knew how conflicted she was, but she simply couldn't not care at all.
"Since you're so eager to know how they are doing, why don't you go to their place and see?" Mu Linjing suggested. "Besides, your relationship with Chen Yutong isn't that strained anymore. She probably wouldn't guard against you."
As soon as Mu Linjing finished speaking, Wei Yumeng was already ready to leave. Indeed, she should go and see the situation for herself.
Only Mu Linjing was left shouting behind her, "Yumeng, you ungrateful wretch! I came to keep you company, and you're just leaving like this."
Wei Yumeng could only apologize to her in her heart. If she couldn't put her mind at ease, she wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything.
Upon arriving at Chen Yutong's home, Chen Yutong showed no unhappiness at seeing Wei Yumeng and instead invited her inside.
"Yutong, how are you and Big Brother? I'm a bit worried."
Chen Yutong looked at Wei Yumeng and sighed. "Perhaps I haven't done enough, so Yangyi still won't forgive me."
Wei Yumeng pondered for a moment. "I saw some bodyguards outside the door earlier. Big Brother arranged them, didn't he? If he's gone this far, he must still care about you."
Although Chen Yutong felt the same way, these past two days had felt like a complete setback; she couldn't even see Zhan Yangyi.
"I know, I won't give up. But I don't know what else to do anymore," Chen Yutong said, lowering her head, her eyes full of sadness.
A sense of helplessness enveloped her. She knew that courage alone was far from enough.
"I originally planned to clarify things with the media, but Yangyi wouldn't agree."
Wei Yumeng took Chen Yutong's hand and said, "Although Big Brother isn't cooperating with you, it doesn't mean you can't do this yourself."
Chen Yutong was reminded by Wei Yumeng's words. "You mean..."
Wei Yumeng nodded at her solemnly. "I can find someone to help you hold a press conference so you can explain everything. How about that?"
"But..." Chen Yutong hesitated. She was very worried that seeing the press conference would only have the opposite effect on Zhan Yangyi.
Wei Yumeng saw her hesitation but encouraged her, "Mo Han and I both believe that Big Brother's feelings for you are sincere. So as long as you reciprocate with sincerity, even the hardest stone will soften, won't it?"
Chen Yutong looked at Wei Yumeng, who was gazing at her with sincerity.
Only then did Chen Yutong stand up. "I understand. I'm willing to try. I'll trouble you with this matter."
Wei Yumeng smiled at her, and their relationship grew even closer.
Under Wei Yumeng's arrangements, a relatively large press conference was organized for Chen Yutong, announced to the public as an explanation for the marital discord.
Indeed, as soon as the press conference was announced, it garnered unprecedented attention.
Chen Yutong's heart began to race with excitement, and even a little panic. She didn't know if this would truly win back Zhan Yangyi's heart.
On the day of the press conference, with more than an hour to go before it began, the audience was already filled.
Wei Yumeng meticulously checked every detail of the press conference.
She had originally found an excuse to try and bring Zhan Yangyi to the venue, but he had refused her.
He had even told Wei Yumeng that no matter what they did, it wouldn't change his decision.
Of course, Wei Yumeng hadn't told Chen Yutong about this yet, as she didn't want it to affect Chen Yutong's performance.
Chen Yutong took a deep breath. She had prepared what she intended to say, and she understood very well the significant impact these words would have on her future.
However, these impacts were nothing compared to Zhan Yangyi's importance.
She was already a public figure and was no stranger to such press conferences, but this was now the most nerve-wracking day of her life.
Perhaps her happiness hinged on this press conference.
Thinking thus, she looked up at the ceiling, her thoughts seemingly soaring with her gaze.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Zhan Yangyi was resting his head on one hand, looking out the window, lost in thought.
Ren Zhao, however, checked the time. He had resolved to help out today, no matter what. Whether Zhan Yangyi watched the press conference or not, he would find a way to make him see it.
