Zhan Mohan remained silent for a long time, looking at Wei Yumeng, suddenly unsure how to explain.
Truth be told, it was all due to his selfish desires.
Zhan Mohan did not speak, and Wei Yumeng did not rush, merely gazing patiently at him, awaiting his answer.
Finally, seeing Wei Yumeng's patient gaze, Zhan Mohan felt a touch of helplessness and began, "I've recently heard a lot about you and the new project, and the opinions of those business partners regarding you. I've become a little jealous."
Wei Yumeng was slightly taken aback by this statement, unsure where Zhan Mohan's jealousy stemmed from.
"I know someone sends you flowers every day, and that Wang Xiaofei has also shown affection for you, as well as... other various things."
As Zhan Mohan spoke, a hint of grievance entered his eyes as he looked at Wei Yumeng. "You are my wife, so I can understand why they are attracted to you. But I cannot stand by and watch them get close to you, so I had to use my own methods to keep you away from them."
Wei Yumeng had originally thought that if she kept certain things from Zhan Mohan, he wouldn't be affected. But it turned out to be completely useless.
As expected, nothing that happened within the Zhan Group could escape Zhan Mohan's notice.
"I'm sorry, this is my fault," Wei Yumeng said with a face full of apology.
"Actually, I also noticed their intentions towards me. I didn't want emotional matters to affect the project, so I didn't find an opportunity to clarify things with them."
After all, she couldn't predict whether they would continue to cooperate if she outright rejected them.
Or how much responsibility they would bear if the cooperation were terminated.
These matters were not to be taken lightly.
As the person in charge of the project, she had to consider every aspect of it.
However, since things had escalated to this point, Zhan Mohan's feelings naturally took precedence over the project.
"If you dislike this, I can find a time to speak with them clearly. I've been somewhat troubled by their attitudes too," Wei Yumeng said after some thought. "As for the project... at worst, I'll find another way."
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng and reached out to gently tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. In hindsight, I seem rather petty."
"No!" Wei Yumeng quickly retorted, "How can this be considered petty?"
"How can it not be? Because as your husband, I constantly want to possess you exclusively, even... wishing you were only within my line of sight. The moment I see you interacting with other men, I want to find a way to make that person leave."
The words, however, conveyed a different meaning to Wei Yumeng. Zhan Mohan was essentially telling her how much he cared for her and how much he loved her.
"But I should also be clear that you have your own work and your own social circle. I was being over the top," Zhan Mohan said, his eyes filled with apology.
"I..." Wei Yumeng pondered how to respond to Zhan Mohan, how to reassure him about this matter.
But no matter how she thought, the words felt too pale, unable to fully express her feelings.
After a long while, Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan again. Instead of speaking, she reached out, grabbed his collar, and pulled him closer.
Until her lips met his.
At first, Wei Yumeng tried to convey her emotions through the kiss, but soon Zhan Mohan took the lead, drawing her into a depth from which she could not extricate herself.
"Mohan, you really don't need to worry so much, because I only actively do this for you. In my heart, there is only you."
After speaking, Wei Yumeng held Zhan Mohan tightly.
Zhan Mohan returned the embrace, naturally. "Of course, I know."
Fang Xun, who was on his way to find Zhan Mohan for another matter, stopped when he realized what was happening behind the door.
He had not agreed with Zhan Mohan's approach in the first place, and now that they had cleared the air, everything was fine.
He envied their relationship from the bottom of his heart.
Although there was this interlude, it ultimately did not affect the normal operation of the project.
However, it also served as a reminder to Wei Yumeng that if she found other business partners, it might still make Zhan Mohan uneasy.
Given this, it wasn't as if she couldn't solve the ensuing problems.
So, Wei Yumeng thought for a moment, and perhaps she could try designing promotional posters and exhibition halls for the initial product promotion.
With this thought, she began to work.
Zhan Mohan began to regret his actions. If it weren't for his arrangements that led Wei Yumeng to notice that matter, she wouldn't have taken on everything herself.
Wei Yumeng had been working in her room, even when she was at home, for several consecutive days.
Finally, on the fourth night, Wei Yumeng let out a sigh of relief.
"It's finally done!" Wei Yumeng looked at the poster on the screen, feeling quite satisfied.
It not only conveyed the core of the product but also appealed to the preferences of young people. Furthermore, upon closer inspection, all the patterns on the poster formed the logo of the Zhan Group.
It was a perfect fusion of aesthetic beauty and creativity.
"It's finished?" Zhan Mohan entered, holding a cup of hot water for Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng took it. "Yes, it's finished. What do you think?"
Zhan Mohan looked at the computer screen and was also captivated by the poster.
He had always known Wei Yumeng was talented in design, but he hadn't expected her focused work to reach such heights.
"I think this poster is excellent and can be used immediately."
"Really?" Wei Yumeng could hardly believe it. She had expected Zhan Mohan to offer her suggestions, but it had been far too smooth.
"Of course, and I believe this poster will create a sensation for our product."
At this moment, Wei Yumeng had no idea why Zhan Mohan would say that, until the renowned designer Huang Hongan personally sought them out.
Wei Yumeng was working when Fang Xun came to inform her, "Madam, Mr. Huang Hongan is here to see you."
Wei Yumeng had certainly heard of the name. Huang Hongan was an internationally famous design master; why would he come to see her in person?
However, she still prepared herself, intending to meet him in the reception room. Perhaps this design master had a project he wished to collaborate on with the Zhan Group.
As they walked, Fang Xun told Wei Yumeng mysteriously, "Madam, Mr. Zhan wants me to tell you that no matter what demands this master makes, you can agree."
"Ah?" Wei Yumeng didn't understand Zhan Mohan's intention. Did Zhan Mohan already know why Huang Hongan was looking for her?
