"No," Zhan Mohan could guarantee that. He himself didn't care, but Wei Yumeng couldn't be seen by anyone else.
His wife was naturally only for him to see.
Only then did Wei Yumeng relax. "It's good you thought of that. I'll go take a bath then."
She lifted the quilt to get up, but Zhan Mohan's tall figure blocked her way.
"You've finished your questions. Isn't it my turn now?"
The man's eyes were deep, his presence pressing and imposing. Wei Yumeng's heart immediately filled with a bad premonition.
Could he be planning to settle the score with her?
At this moment, her only option was to play dumb. "How about waiting until after I take a bath? I'm sticky all over and uncomfortable."
She tried to get around him, but Zhan Mohan suddenly spoke.
"That's perfect. I need to take a bath too."
She pulled at the corners of her mouth stiffly. "Didn't you just wash?"
The man raised an eyelid. "Just because I washed doesn't mean I can't wash again?"
With that, the man put his arm around Wei Yumeng's shoulder and started walking towards the bathroom. How could Wei Yumeng possibly bathe with him? Those images in her mind hadn't disappeared yet. If they had a romantic bath together, she wouldn't be able to face anyone.
She quickly stopped. "Then I'll wash later. You ask first."
Zhan Mohan's lips curved slightly, the corners of his eyes lifting.
"Not bathing anymore?"
"Not bathing anymore. You ask first." After all, this storm was bound to come eventually, and she couldn't avoid it.
"You said Zhao Qiansheng has evidence. Did you get it?"
He sat on the edge of the bed, crossed his long legs, lit a cigarette from the bedside table, and took a puff. His gaze was deep and sharp, as if it could pierce through her eyes and into her heart.
Wei Yumeng's heart pounded with panic.
She lowered her head slightly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.
"No, but I can't guarantee he doesn't have evidence. I haven't had a chance to ask yet."
"Really none?"
Zhan Mohan told her clearly, because he had already called Fang Xun to ask before she woke up.
Zhao Qiansheng only knew that there had been a car accident, which she had specifically investigated. He knew nothing about the details of what happened.
In other words, Wei Yumeng had been completely deceived by Zhao Qiansheng.
Wei Yumeng's expression changed. "How can that be? He really doesn't have any?"
"Would I lie to you?" Zhan Mohan frowned. This woman actually didn't believe him.
She drooped her shoulders, her eyes filled with unconcealable disappointment. She had almost seen hope, but in the end, it was all for nothing.
"I... I really thought he had evidence. Believe me, I was fully prepared. I brought pepper spray and a knife."
She was eager to explain to Zhan Mohan, for fear that he wouldn't believe her.
Zhan Mohan looked at the panic in her eyes and her desperate gaze. His heart softened. He had originally intended to settle accounts with her properly and scold her well. Why couldn't she ever listen and do these dangerous things?
The thought of what would happen if he had been too late and something irreparable had occurred made him uneasy.
Zhan Mohan leaned slightly, his hands grasping her slightly trembling shoulders. His sharp eyes fixed on her, his tone not entirely calm, but tinged with a hint of anger.
"You even brought a knife. Were you planning to die with Zhao Qiansheng?"
"I... I didn't think that far. I just thought I could use it for self-defense if he really tried to... to me, I would have no choice but to die with him."
She could only describe Zhao Qiansheng as disgusting. Even his voice made her feel repulsed.
She had clearly rejected him. Why was he so conceited and still pestering her, resorting to such despicable means to force her?
A moment of tenderness flickered in Zhan Mohan's eyes as his warm fingertips gently caressed her face.
"Then why didn't you react like that when I touched you?"
"Can he compare to you?" Wei Yumeng pouted. The key was that Zhan Mohan was so much better than Zhao Qiansheng in every way, whether it was his demeanor or anything else. She definitely couldn't compare to Zhan Mohan.
The man's eyes and brows curved with a smile. "Yes, I quite agree with that. And more importantly, his technique is definitely not as good as mine."
In an instant, Wei Yumeng's face turned completely red. How could she feel that Zhan Mohan was now someone who could say anything? He could utter such explicit words with a straight face.
Wei Yumeng suddenly remembered something. "What did you do about Zhao Qiansheng?"
Zhan Mohan knew that Wei Yumeng was definitely not clear about the situation at the time; her consciousness was scattered.
However, if she really wanted to know...
Wei Yumeng watched the man's lips curl into a mischievous smile. "Are you sure you want to know?"
With his words and that expression, Wei Yumeng's curiosity grew even stronger.
"Hurry up and tell me." It was killing her with anticipation.
Zhan Mohan beckoned her over.
Wei Yumeng leaned closer, and Zhan Mohan whispered the matter of Zhao Qiansheng into her ear. Wei Yumeng's face turned red to her neck at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She widened her eyes and looked at Zhan Mohan. "You actually..."
"His biggest mistake was deceiving you and then trying to lay his hands on you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so ruthless."
People like Zhao Qiansheng had to be taught a lesson they would never forget, so that he would never dare to provoke Wei Yumeng again.
Wei Yumeng shrank her neck. "It seems I can't offend you casually from now on. You're too vengeful."
Zhan Mohan sat beside her, pulled her waist with one hand, and lifted her onto his lap.
"It's not that you can't offend me, it's that you can't deceive or betray me."
He wasn't a petty person. As long as Wei Yumeng didn't defy his wishes and interact frequently with Xin Ran and Chu Zi'an, he would even pick the moon from the sky for her if she asked for it.
Those two had impure intentions towards her, especially Chu Zi'an, whose intentions were even more questionable.
When this topic was brought up, the atmosphere between them clearly became a little subtle, especially Wei Yumeng's expression, which was no longer as relaxed as before.
Fortunately, at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was Zhang Ma's voice.
"Young Master, Second Young Master is looking for you."
Zhan Mohan replied, "Tell him to wait for me in the study."
"Yes."
Wei Yumeng quickly got up from him. "You go ahead."
"En. If you're done getting ready, go down and eat something first. If Wen Yulan asks about you, just say you got drunk yesterday. Don't say anything else."
Before leaving, Zhan Mohan specifically instructed.
"Got it." Wei Yumeng nodded obediently and watched Zhan Mohan leave.
Zhan Mohan went to the study, where Zhan Yichen was already waiting for him.
"Brother," Zhan Yichen said, seeing Zhan Mohan and quickly standing up.
"What is it?" Zhan Mohan raised his hand, motioning for him to sit down.
"Brother, can you help me figure something out? Wei Jin keeps sending me messages every day."
Zhan Yichen had been going crazy from the bombardment these past few days. Not only was Wei Jin sending him messages, but she was also hiring water armies to send him messages. Furthermore, because of this incident, he didn't know how those people got his phone number and WeChat. Every day, at every hour, someone was adding him as a friend, driving him mad.
"Wait a moment." Zhan Mohan took out his phone and called Fang Xun. "Come to the study."
"Yes."
Immediately, Fang Xun pushed the door open and entered. "Mr. Zhan, is there something you need?"
"I asked you to investigate Wei Jin's unborn child. Have you found anything?"
"We have. The child in her womb is indeed not the Second Young Master's."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Yichen immediately slammed the table. "See, I knew it! It definitely has nothing to do with me. I don't even remember touching her."
"You don't remember touching her, but she's making others believe that you did."
That was the key point. Wei Jin just wanted to create the impression that the child in her womb was Zhan Yichen's. After all, her only bargaining chip now was this child.
Without a child, no matter how much trouble she caused, the Zhan family wouldn't let her in.
Zhan Yichen's recent gloom was swept away by the news from Fang Xun. He excitedly said to Zhan Mohan.
"Then, Brother, can we clearly reject her now and release this news to slap their faces?"
He still remembered how Yin Fang had dared to come and cause trouble at the Zhan family last time.
"Let's wait a moment. It's not advisable to make a big fuss about this. If they can withdraw themselves, that would be the best."
Zhan Mohan also considered Wei Yumeng. If this matter blew up, it would be very disadvantageous for Wei Yumeng.
She was also a member of the Wei family. If there were negative repercussions, it would have a chain reaction.
Zhan Yichen was confused. "According to Brother's intention..."
