Wei Yumeng's face was so red it was almost dripping blood. She gently patted Zhan Mohan's chest. "Stop messing around. You should go back with Fang Xun. I'm only staying here for one night. And don't you mind that I'm dirty? I haven't showered or changed clothes in almost a week."
Zhan Mohan wrapped his arms around her waist. His eyes, which had been filled with anger moments ago, were now sparkling with amusement.
"I don't mind."
"I'm not used to it. Fang Xun is still waiting for you. Hurry back, or Deng Xianyi might need me for something else again. If he sees you here, it will inevitably lead to another fight."
Wei Yumeng was coaxing him like a child, not daring to speak too harshly. The priority now was to get this man to leave.
After speaking, Wei Yumeng kept winking at Fang Xun, who then spoke up.
"Mr. Zhan, we still need to return to the company to continue with our work. Deng Xianyi is renewing his contract with the company today, and we have many things to handle."
Zhan Mohan gently stroked Wei Yumeng's cheek. "Then I'll have Fang Xun pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay." Wei Yumeng obediently agreed.
Finally, after seeing Zhan Mohan off, Wei Yumeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the hospital, Fang Xun clearly felt that Mr. Zhan's mood had improved significantly compared to before. Especially with the smile that never left his lips, it was evident he was in a very good mood. He had to admit that Madam was truly capable. With Mr. Zhan's temper, besides the elder, who could persuade him? To think that Madam could subdue Mr. Zhan with just a few words.
Madam was indeed capable.
Fang Xun asked Zhan Mohan, who was in the back seat, "Mr. Zhan, I think Madam still cares about you a lot. Why don't you two talk and see if you can reconcile?"
The smile that had been on Zhan Mohan's lips immediately tensed, and the pleasant expression on his face vanished instantly.
"Do you think this is the time to discuss this? Do you know whose child she's carrying?"
The biggest question now was whether Wei Yumeng was actually pregnant.
"Mr. Zhan, I don't think she's necessarily pregnant. What if she isn't?"
"If she's not pregnant, then all the better."
Hearing the unusual tone in Mr. Zhan's voice, Fang Xun dared not say another word.
As they were about to reach Zhan Corporation, Zhan Mohan said to Fang Xun.
"Go investigate that Dr. Yang, Yang Tao from the First People's Hospital in the city."
Fang Xun was confused. "Is there something wrong with her?"
"I suspect they are hiding something. The doctor who diagnosed Mu Linjing's pregnancy that day, I remember it was Yang Tao."
And on that day, Yang Tao happened to appear. How could a city doctor come to such a private place, which was clearly problematic?
Fang Xun immediately understood. "You mean, this Yang Tao has some connection with Madam and them?"
"It's not impossible, which is why I'm asking you to investigate."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
The next day, after waking up, Wei Yumeng went early to buy breakfast for Deng Xianyi. She had also spent more than an hour traveling and queuing for two hours. After returning to the hospital, she even went to the hospital cafeteria to heat it up before bringing it to him.
Pushing open the door, Deng Xianyi was sitting on the bed playing with his phone, acting like a spoiled brat. His body was now in the recovery phase and completely fine.
When Deng Xianyi saw Wei Yumeng, he let out a flirtatious whistle.
"Yo, it's the last day, and you're still so diligent?"
"I've run errands for so many days, one more day won't make a difference. Eat it while it's hot."
Wei Yumeng handed him the food.
Deng Xianyi took it casually and found that it was still steaming hot when he opened the lid.
"Why is it still hot today? Usually, it's already cold by the time you bring it back."
"Oh, I had it heated up in the cafeteria."
While eating, Deng Xianyi asked her, "Are you really pregnant? Whose child is it? If it's not Zhan Mohan's, what will you do? Will you divorce Zhan Mohan?"
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng's shoulders slumped powerlessly. "Mr. Deng, even if I am pregnant, even if the child in my womb is not Zhan Mohan's, it has nothing to do with you, does it?"
Deng Xianyi smiled indifferently. "I'm just asking casually."
"Then I'll ask you too, when do you plan to fulfill your promise to me?"
As long as Deng Xianyi hadn't agreed, her fate remained uncertain.
Deng Xianyi mumbled incoherently while eating the shaomai on his plate.
"Don't worry, I always keep my word."
Wei Yumeng asked cautiously, "Then can you make a call now to notify them?"
Upon hearing this, Deng Xianyi suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at Wei Yumeng with a solemn expression.
"Wei Yumeng, I think you might have some misunderstanding with those people from the Xin family. Seeing how you've been doing for Zhan Mohan these past few days, you don't seem like a woman who would betray him."
Wei Yumeng lowered her head. "It has nothing to do with you. Besides, who I'm with doesn't benefit you at all, Mr. Deng. It's more important for you to take care of yourself."
Only Mu Linjing knew about these private matters, and Zhan Mohan was completely unaware. Moreover, she was taking care of Deng Xianyi entirely to help Zhan Mohan overcome this difficulty. She had absolutely no good impression of Deng Xianyi.
No woman is a masochist, forgiving someone who had beaten her so badly with a whip. She wasn't the Virgin Mary, and she didn't have such great mercy.
Deng Xianyi pouted. "You really are ungrateful, woman."
"Then when can you make the call?"
Wei Yumeng's words always revolved around this.
Deng Xianyi was almost getting a ringing in his ears from her constant nagging.
"Can you stop nagging in my ear?"
"Then when will you make the call? I'll stop nagging once you do." Wei Yumeng had never been so persistent with anyone before. This was probably the time she was most shameless in her life.
Deng Xianyi was truly helpless against her. "Fine, I can make the call, considering you've taken care of me for so many days. However, I have one more condition."
Wei Yumeng's heart sank. "You're not going to… again, are you?"
"What are you thinking? In your eyes, am I such a heinous pervert?"
He just hated those women, thinking that all women were cheap and would do anything for money. However, after discovering things these past few days, he felt that Wei Yumeng didn't seem like that kind of person.
Sometimes he found this woman to be quite resilient and able to endure hardship, and she was also very good at taking care of people.
Wei Yumeng wanted to nod in agreement, but she was afraid of offending Deng Xianyi again, so she held back. She forced a smile.
"No."
"Alright, stop with your insincere pretense. Do you think I can't see through it? You've probably cursed me a thousand times in your heart these past few days."
"Then… can you make the call now?"
Deng Xianyi rolled his eyes at her and said with a sigh of helplessness.
"I'll make it right now, okay?"
Joy bloomed on Wei Yumeng's face. "Thank you, Mr. Deng."
"Don't thank me yet. I said there's a condition. You have to treat me to a meal, and then this matter will be settled."
"You won't do that kind of thing to me again, will you?" Wei Yumeng still felt a bit scared.
"No, just a simple meal." Deng Xianyi felt a genuine interest in Wei Yumeng. This woman seemed different from other women.
Especially the stubbornness in her bones ignited his desire to conquer.
Wei Yumeng thought that at this critical juncture, if she refused, Deng Xianyi might not make the call.
So, she could only endure it for now.
"Okay."
Seeing Wei Yumeng agree, Deng Xianyi took out his phone and dialed a number. Anyway, Wei Yumeng didn't know who he was calling.
"Hello, go and reinstate the contract with Zhan Corporation, and then transfer the payment to them."
The assistant on the other end seemed a bit taken aback.
"Mr. Deng, didn't we say we weren't cooperating anymore?"
"Just do as I say, why so much nonsense?" Deng Xianyi's temper was also explosive. He usually couldn't stand his subordinates talking too much.
After hanging up the phone, Deng Xianyi smugly raised his eyebrows at Wei Yumeng.
"There, I get things done, with maximum efficiency."
"Then I'll go and handle your discharge procedures. Will someone from your family pick you up at the entrance?"
"Yes." Deng Xianyi did not make things difficult for Wei Yumeng this time.
"Then I'll go and do that, and I also need to go back to change my clothes, take a shower, and get some good sleep."
Her bones felt like they were falling apart these past few days, and with her pregnancy, she easily got tired. If she hadn't been forcing herself, she wouldn't have made it to today.
Hearing that she was leaving, Deng Xianyi felt a little reluctant.
"Hey, Wei Yumeng, why don't you consider being with me? What's so great about that Zhan Mohan? I heard he's still tangled up with his ex-girlfriend. You'd be better off with me. Will you consider it?"
