Wei Yumeng was pushed by Zhan Mohan into the obstetrics and gynecology department. The doctor then wrote a prescription for her to get an ultrasound. Her hands trembled and her face was pale as she took the slip.
If she went in for the ultrasound, she would be finished. With her current pregnancy stage, it would definitely be detected, and Zhan Mohan would know she was pregnant. Given his personality, if the child wasn't his, he would surely force her to abort.
If she got pregnant after the divorce, it would be her own choice.
But now… if she had this ultrasound, she definitely wouldn’t be able to keep the baby.
The doctor inside called out, "Next, Wei Yumeng, be prepared."
Zhan Mohan walked over and stood beside her, his gaze sharp.
"Wei Yumeng, you can choose not to go in, but you must tell me the truth. Are you pregnant or not?"
Wei Yumeng's eyes immediately turned cold. She looked at Zhan Mohan with disappointment.
"Zhan Mohan, so you drank so much yesterday, and today you had me accompany you to check your wounds, all just to wait for me here?"
Zhan Mohan put his hands in his pockets, his expression extremely calm.
"No, I just suddenly remembered."
Wei Yumeng sneered, "Then why should I cooperate with you? You're already divorced from me. Whether I'm pregnant or not, I don't expect you to take responsibility, and you have no right to force me to have an examination."
Zhan Mohan heard the implication in her words that she was going to defy him.
The man's exquisite features leaned in, and an inexplicable dissatisfaction tightened his lips.
"If you are pregnant, then I need to know whose child it is. If it's Xin Ran's, then I will absolutely not let you give birth to him!"
"And if it's yours, would you let me give birth?"
Wei Yumeng asked sharply.
This was a starkly realistic question. She didn't believe that even if it was confirmed to be Zhan Mohan's child, he would let her have it. But it was truly unfortunate; they were already divorced, and being pregnant now was itself a joke. For him to then let her give birth would be truly preposterous.
Zhan Mohan's gaze was deep, his expression serious.
"If it is, I can let you give birth."
Wei Yumeng suddenly burst into laughter, her voice laced with mockery.
Zhan Mohan asked, confused, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you, Zhan Mohan. What do you consider marriage, and what do you consider a child? You want me to give birth? Then I'm truly sorry. Even if I am pregnant, it has nothing to do with you. You have no right to control me. Do I need to remind you again? We are divorced!"
"Who told you we are divorced?" Zhan Mohan suddenly spoke, his tone calm, but it stirred up a storm in Wei Yumeng's heart.
She looked at him in disbelief, "What… what did you say?"
The man cast a cold glance at her. "You only signed the divorce agreement; you didn't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate. Legally speaking, we are still husband and wife."
"Zhan Mohan! Are you crazy, or am I crazy! You insisted on divorcing me that day, and now you're telling me we're not divorced, and we're still married! Are you playing with me?"
She thought she could finally truly have the child in her womb, with no one to fight her for it. Who knew that the freedom she always thought she had was still bound by the shackles of marriage.
And now, the key was still in Zhan Mohan's hand. If he wished, even her breathing would become difficult.
Zhan Mohan narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them.
"Hearing you say that, it seems you're disappointed that we're not divorced. Or did I interrupt something big between you and Xin Ran?"
Wei Yumeng raised her hand to stop him. "Don't say that. It should be that I interrupted your happy life with Jiang Siyu. You two spent the night together last night, and everything that should have happened, has happened, right?"
Zhan Mohan frowned and began to explain.
"Nothing happened between her and me."
Wei Yumeng's lips curled into a cold smile. "Do you think I'll believe that? An unmarried man and woman, former lovers who were once deeply in love, in the same room, and nothing happened? Are you deceiving me, or are you deceiving yourself?"
Zhan Mohan was momentarily lost in thought, as he had never seen Wei Yumeng question him so assertively. He seemed to see his past self in her eyes.
He collected his thoughts with a start. "She just took care of me for one night. I was that drunk, what could have happened?"
Wei Yumeng raised an eyebrow. "How would I know? When I explained to you that nothing happened between Xin Ran and me back then, you didn't believe a single word, did you? So, since we don't trust each other, there's no need to argue any further. Take care of yourself, Mr. Zhan."
After speaking, she shoved the slip into his hand and walked past him, out of the examination room.
At this moment, the doctor called from inside again, "Wei Yumeng, you can come in for your examination. Wei Yumeng..."
Zhan Mohan looked down at the slip in his hand, his gaze complex.
After leaving the hospital, Wei Yumeng finally felt a sense of relief. She took deep breaths of fresh air, feeling the tension in her heart ease considerably.
If she hadn't been so quick-witted just now, she might have been discovered by Zhan Mohan. Although she had escaped, she was still very nervous, fearing that Zhan Mohan might realize and chase after her.
She hailed a taxi by the roadside and returned to the company. In the corridor, she accidentally bumped into someone and quickly apologized.
"Excuse me."
"Wei Yumeng? Didn't you accompany A'Han to the hospital?"
Jiang Siyu was surprised she was back so soon, but Zhan Mohan was nowhere in sight.
Seeing Jiang Siyu, Wei Yumeng didn't even have the mood to talk to her, and just replied perfunctorily.
"He asked me to come back first."
Jiang Siyu's expression immediately soured. "He's injured now. How could you leave him alone at the hospital?"
Wei Yumeng was already in a bad mood, and being questioned by Jiang Siyu in such a tone would make anyone angry.
"Miss Jiang, aren't you being a bit unreasonable? On what grounds are you questioning me?"
Jiang Siyu naturally refused to be outdone. She straightened her back and raised her chin haughtily at Wei Yumeng, saying, "Just because I will be Mrs. Zhan in the future. A'Han is already with me. You'd better stop bothering him, lest Xin Ran doesn't want you anymore, and then you'll truly be unwanted."
Wei Yumeng scoffed, casting a dismissive glance at the smug Jiang Siyu.
"Then I'm truly sorry. Before I divorce Zhan Mohan, you probably won't be able to take the position of Mrs. Zhan."
Jiang Siyu's heart skipped a beat, and she knitted her brows, asking, "Did A'Han tell you?"
"If not him, then who? So, in the future, please stop talking to me as if you are Zhan Mohan's wife. I haven't even bothered to confront you for appearing as his ex-girlfriend, so why are you holding me accountable?"
After speaking, Wei Yumeng swept past Jiang Siyu like a gust of wind. Jiang Siyu suddenly turned around, staring intently at Wei Yumeng's retreating back, her lips twitching in anger.
What was A'Han thinking, telling her this? Did he still want to forgive her betrayal and be with her?
That was absolutely impossible!
Wei Yumeng didn't go back to her desk immediately. Instead, she found Chu Zian. Chu Zian was a bit bewildered when she called him out.
"My dear aunt, why are you in such a hurry to call me out? There's still so much to do inside."
"Chu Zian, I want to ask you for a favor."
She walked over quickly, a fine sheen of sweat beading on her forehead. Chu Zian instinctively reached out to wipe it away, but Wei Yumeng dodged him.
"I really have something urgent to ask you."
Seeing her anxious look, Chu Zian chuckled, "What is it? It's not urgent after you wipe your sweat. Look how red your face is."
As he spoke, he still gently wiped away her sweat with a tissue.
"Alright, now tell me, what is it?"
"Can you find me another job?"
"You don't want to stay at Zhan Corporation anymore?"
"Zhan Mohan almost discovered I was pregnant today. If I hadn't deliberately gotten angry and argued with him, running out, I'd probably be on the operating table now."
Just thinking about that scene now made her feel lingering fear.
Chu Zian's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.
"But, you don't think you can escape his clutches just like that, do you?"
Wei Yumeng was so anxious she was almost jumping. "Then do you have any ideas?"
