"I'm not going back!" Wei Yumeng's attitude was also firm. If she went back, Wen Yulan and Feng Shiming would find out about her pregnancy again and would try every means to harm her unborn child.
The man frowned, "Wei Yumeng, if you want to keep your child, you must come back with me!"
But Wei Yumeng's mind was filled with the scene of Wen Yulan killing her first child, forcing her to drink the abortion pill, causing her to bleed profusely, which led to her difficulty in getting pregnant.
When women are particularly nervous, they tend to overthink. Wei Yumeng was no exception. Zhan Mohan's strong attitude made her scared, plunging her into deep fear.
Her mind again recalled what Chu Zian had said earlier: Zhan Mohan plans to keep the child in your womb, could it be for some purpose?
At this thought, Wei Yumeng retreated戚戚然, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Mohan noticed the hesitation and fear in her eyes and frowned, "Yumeng..."
"Zhan Mohan, I know what you're planning. You want to trick me back first, and then let Feng Shiming and Wen Yulan make a move, right?"
The man's expression became increasingly gloomy, completely different from the tenderness he showed when peeling shrimp for her earlier.
"Wei Yumeng, what on earth are you thinking?"
"I won't go back with you," Wei Yumeng's eyes were crimson, and she shook her head repeatedly.
Even if Zhan Mohan changed his mind, she would never return to the Zhan family again. She would not let the same tragedy repeat itself.
Zhan Mohan still wanted to step forward and explain to her, "Wei Yumeng, in your eyes, am I this kind of person? To scheme for the child in your womb, I still have to go through so much trouble. Do you think I have too much free time?"
Mu Linjing saw that the atmosphere between the two had suddenly become tense and tried to persuade them, "Calm down, both of you, don't be like this. Let's discuss it, okay?"
She then held Wei Yumeng's arm, "Yumeng, you're pregnant now, you can't get too emotional."
Wei Yumeng turned to Mu Linjing and said, "How can I calm down? Linjing, you don't know, his mother, the first time, forced me to drink the abortion pill. I couldn't escape. I felt my child being stripped from my body, and it finally turned into a pool of blood. Do you know what that feels like? Do you know how heartbroken I was?"
At that time, she had no one to rely on, not even Zhan Mohan, because she was not sure if Zhan Mohan was in league with Wen Yulan.
Seeing the situation, Mu Linjing realized she couldn't resolve it and said to Zhan Mohan,
"Mr. Zhan, why don't I take Yumeng back first? If she needs to return to the Zhan family, it should be discussed with her."
Zhan Mohan's lips were tightly pursed, his handsome face ashen, and his dark eyes like unresolvable dark ink.
"Wei Yumeng, think it over. If you want to continue living with Mu Linjing, and the Xin family wants to harm you, I can't help. If your child is lost then, don't blame me for not warning you."
He rubbed his temples irritably, feeling somewhat powerless.
"It seems you still don't understand why I told Mrs. Xin that the child in your womb is mine. This child is part of the Zhan family and can receive protection. If it's not from the Zhan family, you should know how many people are coveting the life in your womb. I can't possibly keep an eye on you twenty-four hours a day, and no one can guarantee your safety."
Mu Linjing vaguely understood Zhan Mohan's meaning, "Mr. Zhan, you mean the Xin family will target the child in Yumeng's womb? No way, after all, this child could be Xin Ran's."
Could they do such a thing as harming their own flesh and blood?
Zhan Mohan raised his thick eyebrows, "Can you guarantee it's Xin Ran's? What if it's not?"
Mu Linjing suddenly realized that it wasn't necessarily so.
Zhan Mohan grabbed Wei Yumeng's wrist, "You come with me first."
With that, he pulled Wei Yumeng aside. She didn't even have time to react before Zhan Mohan dragged her away.
Zhan Mohan shoved her into the car and slammed the door shut with a bang, then walked around to the back seat himself.
Wei Yumeng's eyes were filled with vigilance, "Zhan Mohan, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Wei Yumeng, I need to tell you something. You still don't remember that before you and Xin Ran had those incidents, we were intimate that day without any protection."
He only suddenly remembered this in the past day or two, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so magnanimous as to let his wife carry another man's child.
It was inevitable that it would be aborted, and he would take responsibility for her even if she could no longer have children in the future.
Wei Yumeng was surprised by his words, "You mean..."
"The child in your womb may not necessarily be Xin Ran's, but even if it's not Xin Ran's, it doesn't mean you're innocent. Only Xin Ran knows if anything happened between you that night."
They all had one doubt: whether Xin Ran had done anything with Wei Yumeng, and whether it was just what he said, or if it was true.
Xin Ran's sudden change in attitude had also shocked her. He was completely different before, and his strange words that day also confused her.
She now understood why Zhan Mohan had suddenly changed his mind and told her to keep the child.
She looked up and asked uncertainly, "Then if the child in my womb is indeed Xin Ran's, what will you do?"
"Divorce. We'll go our separate ways from now on. I can't accept someone else's child, let alone help someone raise a child. Once it's born, it means you and Xin Ran will be entangled forever."
The man's subsequent question had clearly been considered and answered resolutely; this was his bottom line.
Wei Yumeng also replied seriously, "I won't have any lingering connection with him. Even if I give birth, I won't let them take the child away."
"Wei Yumeng, it's not up to you. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Do you think you, unarmed, can fight the Xin family alone?"
Don't be silly, it's impossible.
Wei Yumeng drooped her head dejectedly. Zhan Mohan's words were not unreasonable. She was indeed no match for the Xin family. With Mrs. Xin and now a fiancée, she was indeed at a disadvantage.
Her emotions had indeed been too extreme earlier. Now that she calmed down and thought about it, she had to find a way out for herself, in case it really came to that. She would only be heartbroken, with no other recourse.
She took a deep breath and asked Zhan Mohan, "Then how can you guarantee that I will be safer in the Zhan family than outside?"
They also had tigresses in the Zhan family, and they were extremely fierce.
Zhan Mohan scoffed dismissively, his tone even more arrogant.
"At least in the Zhan family, I still have the final say."
He had the ability to protect her completely, whereas Xin Ran might not.
"Xin Ran likes you, but he can't abandon his current wealth and family for you. If it comes to a point where he has no choice, he will sacrifice you to protect himself."
He believed that Wei Yumeng could understand this herself.
Wei Yumeng didn't need to think; she had already understood through this incident.
Now, it was up to her to decide whether to take a gamble and trust Zhan Mohan, or to fight alone outside.
But hidden arrows are hard to guard against, even if open guns are easy to avoid. How long could she hold on?
Zhan Mohan looked at her clear face and hesitant eyes and asked her, "So, have you thought about it? Are you going back with me or not."
