Zhan Mohan lowered his eyelids slightly, his gaze intense as he looked at her, his voice deep, as if to bewitch.
"So, are you willing?"
Wei Yumeng raised her delicate eyebrows, a smile rippling in her eyes.
"Do I have the right to refuse?"
Zhan Mohan shook his head. "It seems not."
"Then why ask when you already know the answer." Wei Yumeng's voice was light, her previous heavy mood instantly eased by Zhan Mohan's demeanor.
"But, why didn't you call me when something like this happened? Am I just a decoration?"
His brows furrowed, his expression gloomy.
Wei Yumeng was momentarily stunned by his sudden angry roar.
"I... I just thought you'd be very busy and didn't want to bother you."
"And do you think you could have handled today's situation yourself? Those people clearly came for you, and with just you and Mu Linjing..."
He feared she would be devoured to the last bone by those people.
Wei Yumeng also knew, she lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake. "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking clearly at the time, I just wanted to see my mother as quickly as possible."
"Tomorrow morning, I'll have Fang Xun help you move."
Zhan Mohan felt that given Wei Yumeng's current situation, she couldn't possibly live alone anymore.
Wei Yumeng turned her head in surprise. "So soon?"
The man reached out and gently lifted her chin, his voice a whisper.
"Don't you want to see me every time you open your eyes?"
This flirtation caught her off guard, her fair cheeks flushing.
When did his mouth become so glib?
Wei Yumeng felt that in her heart, she probably did, but she was too shy to say it, especially with his gaze so openly on her, her heart was pounding out of her chest.
She nodded thoughtfully, "Then... alright."
"You need to answer my question directly, do you want to, or not?"
Wei Yumeng wanted to brush it off, but Zhan Mohan had no intention of letting her get away with it.
"Then... I want to." As she answered the question, she still felt a bit awkward, a blush creeping onto her cheeks, her eyes filled with shyness.
Zhan Mohan knew she had always been thin-skinned, so he didn't press further. More importantly, this was about her mother, and the rumors online about her and Deng Xianyi.
The doctor then walked in, "Miss Wei."
Wei Yumeng snapped back to attention and immediately walked up to the doctor, asking anxiously.
"How is my mother's condition now?"
"Perhaps due to external stimuli, your mother is now better than before, but her internal condition is not very good. I suggest you spend more time with her."
Wei Yumeng felt a sense of relief when she heard the first sentence, but the doctor's subsequent words made her feel as though she had fallen from heaven to hell.
"Then... what can be done? Doctor, please, you must save my mother."
She knew Gu Shuyi's health had always been precarious, but this time, the doctor's words truly frightened her.
"We will do our best, but some things are beyond our control. Moreover, it was the things she heard outside that affected her emotions and her condition."
Wei Yumeng lowered her gaze, tears welling up instantly, her voice choked.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault."
Zhan Mohan stepped forward and put his arm around her, patting her shoulder, gently comforting her.
"Don't cry, if your mother sees you, she'll only be more sad. Your current physical condition also doesn't allow for such drastic emotional fluctuations."
"But my mother..."
This was already her only family in the world; she couldn't lose her.
"Leave it to me." He put his arm around Wei Yumeng's shoulder and walked her outside. "What you need to do now is to go back and rest, get a good night's sleep."
"I want to stay here and accompany her."
"It won't help if you stay here. I'll communicate with the doctor to see how to treat your mother's condition. Besides, if you stay here, no one can guarantee those people won't come back. If you or the child in your belly get hurt, it would be very troublesome."
Zhan Mohan's patience had reached its limit. Those who knew him well knew that he was impatient with even a few extra words, he valued efficiency.
Wei Yumeng had truly exhausted all his patience.
When Wei Yumeng thought of the child, she felt even more weary, but she had to force herself to calm down.
She believed Zhan Mohan could handle Gu Shuyi's situation, as she had never doubted his capabilities.
"Then I'll go back first. If there's any news about her, remember to tell me."
After Wei Yumeng finalized everything, she left with Mu Linjing.
After they left, the gentle expression on Zhan Mohan's face completely vanished, replaced by coldness.
"What's the situation now?"
"It's as we discussed. We'll do our utmost, but it ultimately depends on the patient herself. The main issue is that her emotions were too agitated this time, affecting her body, especially since her underlying health was already poor. She's like a candle in the wind now."
Zhan Mohan's expression was grim. "Is there no other way?"
"Even if we bring in doctors from abroad now, the effect won't be significant."
Gu Shuyi's body had long been failing, and she had been relying on medication to sustain herself until now.
The man touched his chin, pondered for a moment, his eyes complex, and finally made a decision.
"No matter how expensive the medicine, try to delay it for as long as possible. You still need to strengthen security at the hospital, don't let unauthorized people in to affect the patient's health."
This was all he could do for Wei Yumeng. He could shield her from storms, but he couldn't control a person's fate.
Everyone had their own destiny, and it couldn't be forced.
Since someone was willing to pay for expensive medication, the doctor naturally agreed.
"I understand, don't worry Mr. Zhan, we will do our best. Miss Wei is truly fortunate, Mr. Zhan is so good to her."
"If I don't cherish my own wife, who will?"
The man smiled lightly and glanced at the doctor before walking out.
Fang Xun had already been waiting at the entrance. Seeing Zhan Mohan come out, he immediately stepped forward.
"Mr. Zhan, those troublemakers have been dealt with. All the comments and messages online that needed to be deleted have been deleted. Even if those people want to make trouble, it shouldn't be too much of an issue now."
The people who came to cause trouble today were all key figures, and the others were mere pawns, not worth worrying about. Catch the ringleader first, and the others wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.
"Go and investigate if there's anyone controlling this behind the scenes."
"Mr. Zhan, are you suggesting... someone is behind this, intentionally causing it?"
"Otherwise, why would such a small matter escalate so much? Doesn't that seem strange to you?"
