The night was quiet, yet Wei Yumeng tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
She had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, though she couldn't quite pinpoint it.
Whenever she closed her eyes, she saw Lu Rong's strange gaze.
Every time Lu Rong looked at Wei Yumeng, she felt an inexplicable sensation deep within her heart.
Wei Yumeng sighed, perhaps she was just being overly sensitive lately.
She turned over again and suddenly smelled a peculiar fragrance, a scent that seemed to have a calming effect.
Wei Yumeng was on the verge of sleep when she heard strange noises in the room.
First, the sound of a cabinet door opening, followed by cautious footsteps.
Someone was hiding in the cabinet? Wei Yumeng felt a sense of impending doom.
But at this moment, Wei Yumeng had already entered a shallow sleep. Although she tried her best to open her eyes, she couldn't, no matter how hard she tried.
Until she fully felt someone arrive by her bedside.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Wei, I could only approach you this way. I was afraid that if I directly expressed my feelings, I would frighten you."
It was Lu Rong's voice, but the emotion in it was different from earlier in the day.
It was filled with pampering and affection, as if speaking to someone he truly loved.
What was going on? Wei Yumeng was confused. Had Lu Rong harbored ulterior motives towards her all along?
"I know this is our first collaboration and our first meeting, so you don't know me at all. But I've been watching you for a long time."
As he spoke, Lu Rong reached out and gently stroked Wei Yumeng's hair.
"I've been watching you, and I know everything about you. All of it holds precious memories for me. When everyone else disliked me, it was you who accompanied me in this way."
Wei Yumeng wanted to speak, but she couldn't control her mouth at all.
She suddenly remembered that before she fell asleep, she had smelled something. Had Lu Rong drugged her?
She tried to move her limbs again, but it was still useless.
Lu Rong continued, sighing, "I've also thought about coming to you in a more upright manner and telling you my love for you.
But I couldn't help it, with someone like Young Master Zhan around? I'm no match for him, yet I dare to wish for you, so I had no choice but to resort to this method."
Wei Yumeng could only cry for help in her heart. She didn't want to be with this Lu Rong any longer; she had a premonition that something uncontrollable was about to happen.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to a place where it's just the two of us. Your world will only have me, and no one will hurt you anymore."
Lu Rong said this, reaching out to touch Wei Yumeng's cheek.
No one would know how long he had planned this, how he had even worked hard to join a company that had the opportunity to collaborate with Wei Yumeng, just to get closer to her.
And he had used all sorts of means to get close to Wei Yumeng, waiting for an opportunity to make Wei Yumeng completely his.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Lu Rong imprinted a kiss on Wei Yumeng's forehead.
Wei Yumeng felt goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't leave with Lu Rong; she absolutely couldn't!
What should she do?
Don't touch me! Wei Yumeng screamed in her heart, but it was useless.
At a time like this, who could save her?
Zhan Mohan?
Wei Yumeng knew very well that Zhan Mohan wasn't here and couldn't possibly appear suddenly, yet she couldn't help but hope for a miracle.
"Miss Wei, you smell so wonderful. Everything about you is just as I imagined. You are so perfect, my goddess."
Lu Rong said this, preparing to undress Wei Yumeng.
But at that very moment, the hotel room door was kicked open from the outside.
"Who?" Lu Rong immediately got up and looked towards the door.
Zhan Mohan glanced at Wei Yumeng lying on the bed, then at Lu Rong, and immediately understood what was about to happen.
If he had been a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
A surge of anger burned fiercely in his heart. He lunged forward and punched Lu Rong in the face.
Lu Rong was stunned by the blow, staring at Zhan Mohan, unable to react for a long time.
"How could you be here?"
But how could Zhan Mohan possibly answer him? He immediately delivered a second punch.
Wei Yumeng finally managed to move her hand. She knew Zhan Mohan had arrived.
Indeed, no matter what happened or what danger she faced, Zhan Mohan would always find her.
Mohan...
Tears welled up in Wei Yumeng's eyes. The thought of how she had been arguing with Zhan Mohan over trivial matters just before filled her with regret.
"Yumeng, Yumeng!"
After dealing with Lu Rong, Zhan Mohan rushed to Wei Yumeng's side.
Wei Yumeng finally managed to open her eyes with effort: "Mohan... Mohan, you've finally come to save me."
Seeing Wei Yumeng's condition, clearly drugged, Zhan Mohan glared at Lu Rong, who was already trembling in the corner.
"Don't worry, you'll be alright." Zhan Mohan held Wei Yumeng tightly.
Wei Yumeng leaned against Zhan Mohan's chest, feeling much more at ease, and then fainted.
Wei Yumeng felt her sleep was surprisingly peaceful, despite having just experienced such a dangerous ordeal.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar figure lying beside her, holding her tightly with both arms.
"Mohan..."
Wei Yumeng then remembered what had happened last night. Even now, she still felt a lingering sense of dread. Who would have thought Lu Rong was such a pervert?
Thinking of the things he had said sent shivers down her spine.
She suspected that if she had been taken away by Lu Rong, she would have been imprisoned by him forever, with no hope of escape.
Wei Yumeng reached out and touched Zhan Mohan's sleeping face. The warmth from her fingertips flowed into her heart, feeling very warm and comfortable.
This was the love she desired, the man she had always kept in her heart.
Wei Yumeng finally managed to slip out of Zhan Mohan's embrace, intending to get a drink of water. Although she was as careful as she could be, she still woke Zhan Mohan.
"Yumeng? Where are you going?"
Zhan Mohan opened his eyes, still groggy, and with a hint of confusion, pulled Wei Yumeng back into his arms.
Wei Yumeng had no choice but to lie down again: "How did you suddenly get here?"
This was the question that intrigued Wei Yumeng the most.
"I was worried about you." Zhan Mohan looked into Wei Yumeng's eyes. "After you left, the children found me and told me they suspected someone strange was targeting you, so I immediately flew over."
At this point, Zhan Mohan frowned. "I just didn't expect it to be Lu Rong. I'm sorry, next time I should investigate the other party's background more thoroughly."
Wei Yumeng reached out and put her arms around Zhan Mohan's neck. "It's not your fault. If anything, it's also my responsibility. But you saved me, thank you, my hero."
