Wei Yumeng was startled by the sudden sound. She turned around and saw Zhan Mohan's stern face.
Zhan Mohan appeared somewhat helpless, "Yumeng, did we startle you?"
Wei Yumeng's mood was complicated. She didn't know how to describe her current feelings to Zhan Mohan.
"No, it's just that I... it's just that I still have an unresolved issue."
Zhan Mohan didn't force Wei Yumeng. He reached out and touched her shoulder, "It's okay, I'll give you enough time to think. I'll show you my sincerity."
Wei Yumeng looked into Zhan Mohan's deep eyes, her heart already leaning towards him.
In the end, as long as she took that one step, this matter would be completely over. Yet, she still couldn't. She could only nod.
After this not-so-successful surprise, life continued to move forward.
As Zhan Mohan had said, he spent more time accompanying Wei Yumeng during this period. He would buy her anything she liked and give it to her.
"Mom, you still don't want to forgive Dad?" Zhan Shiqing asked sadly.
"No, Mom isn't angry anymore."
This made Zhan Shiqing even more confused, "Then why isn't Mom talking to Dad?"
Wei Yumeng had to explain, "It's just that Mom still has something on her mind that she hasn't figured out. I think I still need some time."
Zhan Shiqing pouted. She still felt like it was all her fault. If they hadn't deliberately said those words to scare her to make Wei Yumeng's surprise even greater, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Wei Yumeng said to Zhan Shiqing as she packed, "Mom has to go on a business trip for a few days due to work. You need to be good at home these few days, understand?"
"Mom is going on a business trip?" Zhan Jinzhi heard her voice and walked into the room.
Wei Yumeng nodded. In fact, this trip wasn't absolutely necessary for her, but she felt that perhaps temporarily leaving this environment to clear her head would help her overcome her inner turmoil faster.
Zhan Jinzhi seemed to have something more to say, but in the end, he said nothing.
This project involved an overseas inspection. Recently, Wei Yumeng had a project that required cooperation with an enterprise in another province.
This project was very important. If successful, it might allow Zhan Group to officially expand beyond the province.
She had always believed that she could only trust companies she had personally investigated, so she naturally took on this task.
The person accompanying her was Lu Rong, another person responsible for this project.
This was also the first time the two of them had cooperated. Wei Yumeng remembered their first meeting...
"Are you Miss Wei Yumeng?" Lu Rong's eyes seemed to light up when he saw Wei Yumeng.
At that time, Wei Yumeng felt uncomfortable all over when she saw the other person's expression, as if she were being stared at naked.
Even thinking about it now made Wei Yumeng feel uneasy.
She hoped this inspection would go smoothly.
"Mom, we'll miss you." Zhan Shiqing hugged Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng hugged her back, "Don't worry, Mom will be back soon."
Zhan Jinzhi, however, frowned and said nothing until Wei Yumeng walked out of the house.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Zhan Shiqing asked, confused.
Zhan Jinzhi then took out an envelope from behind him. It was a pink envelope, much like one used for love letters.
He opened the envelope, and the words within expressed love for Wei Yumeng.
However, this kind of love was somewhat twisted, and even Zhan Jinzhi found it chilling to look at.
In fact, in the letter, the sender even stated their desire to imprisonish Wei Yumeng, to belong only to him.
Although Zhan Shiqing didn't understand much, she was still startled to see this.
"Brother, where did this come from? Is Mom being targeted by a pervert?"
Zhan Jinzhi nodded, "I'm afraid that's the case. I wanted to warn Mom, but I just missed the chance to do so."
"Then what should we do now?" Zhan Shiqing asked anxiously, looking in the direction Wei Yumeng had left.
Zhan Jinzhi walked towards the room, "No matter what, we have to tell Dad. Dad will definitely have a way."
Only then did Zhan Shiqing quickly follow.
Wei Yumeng, worried about being late and impolite, deliberately arrived at the airport half an hour early. However, Lu Rong had already arrived.
"Miss Wei, you're finally here. Why are you carrying so many things? Let me help you."
From a distance, Lu Rong saw Wei Yumeng with her luggage and hurried over to help.
Wei Yumeng always felt a bit resistant to Lu Rong, but she politely said, "It's okay, I can manage myself."
Lu Rong also noticed Wei Yumeng's reaction and could only retract his hand sheepishly, "Miss Wei, you don't need to be so polite to me. We'll be together for the rest of the journey. If you need anything, just ask."
Wei Yumeng couldn't tell if it was her imagination, but when Lu Rong said "just ask," a strange light flashed in his eyes.
He seemed to be looking forward to Wei Yumeng relying on him, or perhaps expecting Wei Yumeng to order him around?
Wei Yumeng shook her head. Thinking about such things seemed strange. She must have misunderstood.
After all, in their previous conversations, apart from his gaze being somewhat lecherous, he hadn't made her feel anything was wrong.
In less than half a day, the two arrived at their destination.
"Miss Wei, be careful of the steps." Lu Rong reminded her cautiously.
Wei Yumeng felt uncomfortable throughout the flight because someone's eyes were constantly fixed on her.
Moreover, no matter what she intended to do, Lu Rong would always take the initiative to take care of her.
But if it were just about care, it wouldn't make Wei Yumeng so uneasy.
It was during this so-called care that Lu Rong would intentionally or unintentionally touch her, giving her goosebumps.
She suspected that Lu Rong was deliberately touching her inappropriately, but she had no evidence, and given that they were business partners now, she couldn't easily create a misunderstanding.
Wei Yumeng now just wanted to keep her distance from Lu Rong to avoid any further incidents.
"Miss Wei, we've arranged to meet the other party tomorrow morning. So, there are no other arrangements for today. I've already prepared the hotel. I'll lead the way."
Lu Rong said, making a gesture of invitation.
Wei Yumeng then followed him, "Mr. Lu, you really don't need to be so polite to me."
"How can I not? Miss Wei is different from those ordinary women. Naturally, she needs to be carefully looked after. I've even booked you a six-star hotel. To make it convenient to help you, I'll be staying in the utility room next to your room."
"Utility room?" Wei Yumeng was truly surprised. "No, no, Mr. Lu, if it's a matter of cost, please change my room. We must ensure accommodation for both of us."
Wei Yumeng felt that Lu Rong was becoming increasingly strange. What normal person would do something like this?
