Zhan Mohan's words brought him great satisfaction. He accompanied Zhan Mohan back to pack Wei Yumeng's belongings.
Mu Linjing was somewhat shocked to see the two of them return together.
"You two..."
Was this developing well?
Wei Yumeng smiled faintly, her lips pursed. "Linjing, thank you for taking care of me during this time. I'm truly grateful. It's my honor to have a good friend like you."
Mu Linjing also cherished having Wei Yumeng as a friend.
She was very reluctant to see Wei Yumeng go and hugged her. "Yumeng, you must come visit me in the future."
"Yes, I know. Don't worry, I'll definitely come to see you."
Wei Yumeng hugged her again as she left. Mu Linjing then remembered today's events and was still a bit curious.
"Yumeng, can I have a word with you in private?"
"Of course." Wei Yumeng said to Zhan Mohan, "Wait for me outside."
"Alright."
Zhan Mohan didn't ask any questions, he just took Wei Yumeng's things and went out.
He was quite respectful of women's privacy.
As soon as Zhan Mohan left, Mu Linjing immediately asked, "How was it? What's going on between you two? Didn't you say you were going to see Xin Ran?"
"We did. And then Zhan Mohan completely shut him down."
Wei Yumeng still felt a bit shaken thinking about that scene.
Even without witnessing it, Mu Linjing found the thought amusing.
"Boss Zhan's mouth is truly venomous."
People with high emotional intelligence could be ruthless when confronting others, especially when Xin Ran was his love rival.
"Then it seems there are no longer any barriers between you two. All that's left is for a paternity test for the child in your belly to see if things can be salvaged."
She hoped more than anyone that the child in Wei Yumeng's belly was Zhan Mohan's, so they could be reunited as a family.
Wei Yumeng subconsciously caressed her stomach. She was almost three months along now, and it was already showing.
Mentioning the child made her a little anxious. She was afraid the child might not be Zhan Mohan's, and what would he do then?
With her current state of mind, she didn't want to leave Zhan Mohan. In fact, she felt a sense of reluctance, but she didn't know what to do.
Her heart was in turmoil, lost in distress.
Mu Linjing noticed Wei Yumeng's difficulty. "Actually, I think you don't need to worry too soon."
Wei Yumeng recalled what Xin Ran had told her today. "I don't know why, but Xin Ran's words seem a bit off."
Mu Linjing frowned. "What do you mean?"
"He was going to investigate Zhan Mohan's affairs. If the child in my belly was his, he shouldn't have been so anxious."
Wei Yumeng felt that Xin Ran's demeanor and her feelings about him had been wrong from the start, but she couldn't pinpoint why.
Thinking about it now, she finally found a clue.
Mu Linjing could roughly guess what Wei Yumeng was implying. "Are you saying that Xin Ran is lying, and the child in your belly has nothing to do with him?"
"It can't be ruled out. Because all indications now suggest that Xin Ran desperately wants to separate me and Zhan Mohan. Let's assume, if Xin Ran is indeed deceiving me, then all his current actions make sense, right?"
Wei Yumeng suddenly felt like a fog had lifted. She hadn't thought about it deeply before, but now she seemed to have discovered a clue.
Xin Ran was in a hurry, and investigating this information must have taken him a long time. If Zhan Mohan didn't want to disclose this matter, he probably wouldn't have been able to find out.
"Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense. The key is that we're just suspecting now. It won't be easy to get the truth, will it?"
Since Xin Ran intended to conceal it from the beginning.
"Then let's set a trap for him, let him fall into the trap we've prepared. This way, even if he wants to hide it, he won't be able to."
Hearing Wei Yumeng's words, Mu Linjing thought she had an idea. "Then tell me quickly, what are you planning?"
"This... I'll go back and discuss it with Zhan Mohan."
Wei Yumeng tapped her chin as she pondered, completely piquing Mu Linjing's curiosity. Her final words almost made Mu Linjing want to hit her.
"Can you not do this..."
"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing. I really have to go now."
She was afraid Zhan Mohan would be waiting too long outside.
Mu Linjing could tell and teased her, "What, you've forgotten your friends now that you have a husband?"
"No, no. I'll come find you next time. We're still in the same company, aren't we?"
Wei Yumeng gave her a gentle hug.
Actually, Mu Linjing was just joking and didn't mean anything else.
After they parted ways, Wei Yumeng followed Zhan Mohan back to the apartment he had arranged for her.
The decoration style was very much like his personality – a cold, aloof style. As soon as you walked in, you could feel an icy chill, but it was luxurious without being ostentatious.
Zhan Mohan walked to her side and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
"Do you like it?"
"Yes, it suits your personality very well."
Aloof, but there was one thing. What attracted her most to Zhan Mohan was his calm and reserved demeanor, his low-key nature.
She hated people who only talked big without any real substance; she disliked that the most.
Zhan Mohan was very concerned about Wei Yumeng's safety at this time.
"Wei Jin has managed to suppress your trending searches for now, but you still need to be careful. We need to be together when you come and go from work. Only at the company can I guarantee your safety at all times. If you leave my sight, you know..."
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan's serious expression and felt a little flustered.
"From what you're saying, are you implying that Wei Jin might retaliate against me?"
"It can't be ruled out."
Wei Jin wasn't someone who hadn't done such things before.
Wei Yumeng felt a tremor of fear. "Then... then what should I do?"
"Didn't I just tell you? Stay by my side obediently and don't go anywhere. If you leave my sight, I can't guarantee I can protect you. Do you understand?"
The man's gaze was serious, his voice low and firm, giving Wei Yumeng a sense of security.
Wei Yumeng felt a warmth spread through her heart. She turned, wrapped her arms around his waist, and pressed her face against him, her voice almost melting Zhan Mohan's heart.
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll be very obedient and good."
Zhan Mohan affectionately patted her head. "If you could really be that obedient, I wouldn't be so worried. It's just that when you get stubborn, ten cows can't pull you back."
"When am I that stubborn?"kanδん
Wei Yumeng denied it.
Zhan Mohan gently lifted her chin with his fingers, his eyes slightly raised at the corners.
"Are you sure?"
Whether it was his piercing gaze or her own guilt, Wei Yumeng suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore.
"I..."
