Zhan Mohan had just seen Wang Fang out when Wei Yumeng's call came in.
This was within Zhan Mohan's expectations; he knew that hearing that voice, Wei Yumeng couldn't help but overthink.
He reluctantly pressed the answer button, realizing he indeed needed to explain things thoroughly.
"Mohan, I... I have some things I want to ask about," Wei Yumeng said, still somewhat hesitant.
But seeing Song Yifan's encouraging gaze, she continued.
"I just heard a strange woman on the phone. She... she called your name directly. I want to know what's going on?"
"She's the model we signed for this project, named Wang Fang. For some reasons, she'll be helping me with some other matters these few days. As for calling my name..."
Zhan Mohan hesitated. He didn't want to lie to Wei Yumeng, but he couldn't reveal the truth lest Wei Yumeng worry more.
Zhan Mohan didn't continue, and Wei Yumeng's heart beat faster and faster.
Did this mean something had indeed happened between Zhan Mohan and this Wang Fang?
If that were the case, then they...
Just as Wei Yumeng was about to fall into a trap of her own thoughts, Zhan Mohan spoke, "I don't know how to explain this to you. She's someone who likes to play pranks. She came in just now and saw me on the phone with you, so she decided to have some fun. However, I've already reprimanded her."
After saying this, Zhan Mohan himself felt the excuse was a bit flimsy.
But it wasn't entirely untrue, as Wang Fang had indeed acted intentionally.
"Yumeng, believe me. Besides you, I can't possibly fall in love with any other woman. You are always the only one in my heart."
Zhan Mohan could only use his sincerity to prove his stance.
At least this part was not false.
Wei Yumeng was silent for a long time. She suddenly didn't know whether to believe Zhan Mohan's explanation.
She knew that one encounters all sorts of people at work, but... could such a thing really happen?
Even if it was a prank, someone who could prank Zhan Mohan must have had a close relationship with him.
Speaking of this model named Wang Fang, she had seen her once. She was indeed attractive with a good figure, known as the 'Goddess of Otaku'.
The more Wei Yumeng thought about it, the more distressed she became, completely unable to analyze the situation rationally.
"Mohan, I..." Wei Yumeng wanted to believe him, but she just couldn't.
She took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you, nor should I have bothered your work with such a matter. But hearing you say that makes me feel relieved."
Although Wei Yumeng said this, her expression betrayed her completely.
Her mood was terrible, and she would likely need a long time to process this and figure out what to do.
"Yumeng, are you really alright?" Zhan Mohan could naturally hear that Wei Yumeng was not okay, but being far away, he had no way of knowing her true situation.
"I'm really fine. You focus on your work. Everything is fine on my end. Don't let my situation here delay your work, okay?"
"Okay."
After Zhan Mohan agreed, Wei Yumeng immediately hung up the phone.
If she hadn't hung up, she didn't know if she could still pretend that nothing had happened.
Even though she suspected Zhan Mohan's relationship with Wang Fang, she didn't want to disturb Zhan Mohan's work due to her own suspicions.
After a long while, when Wei Yumeng's mood gradually calmed down, Song Yifan finally spoke.
"Have you gotten the answer you wanted?"
"I don't know..." Wei Yumeng sighed. "I originally thought everything was the same as before. Whatever he said, I would believe it. But this time I realized there really has been a change between us. I want to believe him, but I just can't."
Song Yifan reached out and patted Wei Yumeng's shoulder to comfort her. "Even if you may no longer trust him, you can always trust me. Because I will always be on your side."
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, I want to be alone for a while."
"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen to see what Auntie Wang is cooking."
Song Yifan left Wei Yumeng with her space. Some things were only truly understood when she figured them out herself.
However, regarding this matter, he was somewhat secretly delighted.
Whether the situation with Zhan Mohan was true or not, wasn't this his opportunity?
If Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng broke up because of this, he would definitely pursue Wei Yumeng.
Song Yifan went to the kitchen, where Auntie Wang was indeed present.
"Mr. Song, are you here for something to eat?"
"It's like this, Auntie Wang. I wanted to ask about that piece of land," Song Yifan explained.
"I've done as you said and haven't given it to her yet. However... recently Miss Wei hasn't mentioned the land again. Could she have changed her mind?"
Auntie Wang was a little worried. If Song Yifan hadn't contacted her beforehand, she probably would have been willing to sell the land to Wei Yumeng at that moment.
After all, she quite liked Wei Yumeng, and coupled with Wei Yumeng and Song Yifan's relationship, what else did she need to worry about?
It was just that she didn't understand why Song Yifan asked her to deliberately delay.
However, she didn't ask further; Song Yifan always had his own plans.
"Wait a few more days. If Yumeng still mentions the land, then sell it to her," Song Yifan said after thinking.
"Okay, I understand."
Of course, she still didn't know Song Yifan's plan.
However, she believed that Song Yifan would never do anything to hurt her.
Song Yifan had changed his plan. Originally, he knew that Wei Yumeng had her eye on that land. As long as the land wasn't secured, Wei Yumeng would have a reason to stay.
But now that there was a problem between Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng, there was no need for him to keep Wei Yumeng here any longer.
Instead, it would be better to let Wei Yumeng see Zhan Mohan as soon as possible.
The two had already developed a rift in their relationship. After being apart for so long, coupled with the inexplicable third party.
All of these combined were enough to destroy the relationship between Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan.
If all went smoothly, Song Yifan could take advantage of the situation.
Even in the end, it wouldn't have too much of an impact on him, as he wouldn't openly involve himself in their conflict.
But this was indeed not a hundred percent success; it was a gamble.
If it failed, all efforts would be in vain.
Meanwhile, Wei Yumeng had made up her mind. She had decided to leave this place.
Tomorrow she would inform Auntie Wang of her intention regarding the land. Regardless of success or failure, she would return.
At least at this moment, she still wanted to clarify Zhan Mohan's situation.
Perhaps believing or not believing were not the best answers. Only by investigating everything herself could she find the truth.
