"I..." Wei Yumeng really didn't know how to start.
Mu Linjing quickly said from the side, "Ask him to meet, ask him to meet."
Wei Yumeng blurted out without even thinking.
"Can we meet?"
Zhan Mohan suddenly let out a chuckle on the phone, his voice clear and deep, a feast for the ears.
"What, you miss me already after not seeing me for such a short while?"
"I... I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask you something."
Wei Yumeng couldn't help but tease. Whenever Zhan Mohan spoke to her in such a half-joking tone, she would blush, and her heart would race.
"You say."
Instead of suggesting a meeting, he asked her to ask on the phone.
This was unlike his usual personality, and Wei Yumeng found it a bit strange, so she asked.
"Are you unavailable now?"
"I'm at Si Yu's place now, there's something going on."
Zhan Mohan's words made Wei Yumeng's heart sink. Why was he at Jiang Si Yu's place, this late? What was he doing there?
She wasn't someone who would cling on shamelessly. Since he had said that, what else could she ask?
"Okay, it's nothing. I'll hang up now."
With that, she hung up the phone, not even giving Zhan Mohan a chance to respond.
Seeing her dejected expression, Mu Linjing felt something was wrong. She stepped forward and grabbed Wei Yumeng's arm.
"Yumeng, what's wrong?"
"He said he's at Jiang Si Yu's place now."
Mu Linjing felt that Wei Yumeng's voice lacked strength, as if she had been drained of all energy.
However, she could understand how Wei Yumeng felt when she heard Zhan Mohan's words. Her initial enthusiasm had been completely doused by a bucket of cold water.
Who could stand that?
She walked up and hugged Wei Yumeng. "Alright, don't be upset, don't be upset. Maybe there's really something going on. Young Master Zhan would definitely not have anything with Jiang Si Yu."
Wei Yumeng couldn't be sure. Even if Zhan Mohan didn't have anything with Jiang Si Yu, didn't Jiang Si Yu have feelings for him?
She didn't believe it...
She was trying very hard to tell herself to calm down, that it was really nothing, but her heart felt like it was stuffed with a stone, making her almost suffocate.
She even regretted calling him. If she hadn't, wouldn't everything be fine?
Mu Linjing patted her shoulder. "Alright, alright, it's okay. Let's rest first. We can talk about this another day."
Wei Yumeng didn't have the mood to deal with these things anymore. Her mood had been completely consumed by Zhan Mohan.
At this moment, Zhan Mohan was indeed with Jiang Si Yu because Jiang Si Yu was being difficult with a business partner at a banquet and couldn't get out, which was why she called Zhan Mohan.
However, she did want to call him. He had been accompanying Wei Yumeng lately, which made her very unhappy.
Why was he still so good to Wei Yumeng when she had betrayed him?
Today, she was determined to have Zhan Mohan stay with her and go nowhere else.
After leaving the bar, Zhan Mohan helped Jiang Si Yu into the back seat. She was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.
"Can't I sit in the front passenger seat?"
"Sitting in the back is the same." Zhan Mohan closed the car door.
Jiang Si Yu suddenly remembered something and asked, "This seat, is it only Wei Yumeng who can sit in it?"
Zhan Mohan didn't evade the question. He simply replied.
"Yes, I don't want her to misunderstand."
At that moment, Jiang Si Yu's heart felt like it was being slowly gnawed by a knife, inch by inch, causing her immense pain. Her face turned pale, and her expression instantly crumbled.
"Ahan, do you like that Wei Yumeng that much?"
Zhan Mohan lowered his gaze slightly. "This has nothing to do with you. Get in the car."
Zhan Mohan's tone was light, with a hint of detachment and coldness, which made Jiang Si Yu feel even worse.
The last thing she wanted to see was Zhan Mohan defending Wei Yumeng in front of her.
But no matter what, she had to get in the car first. After all, she had decided today that she wouldn't let Zhan Mohan go back.
She got in the car first, and Zhan Mohan drove towards her home. When they arrived, Jiang Si Yu pushed open the car door and turned to him.
"Why don't you come up and sit for a while?"
"No need, I have to go back." He wanted to go back and see Wei Yumeng again. He didn't know what she wanted to talk to him about earlier.
"You've already come this far, come up and sit for a while. Even if we can't be lovers, we're at least friends now."
Jiang Si Yu didn't want Zhan Mohan to feel any burden when interacting with her. At least, she didn't want him to feel that way in the early stages.
"No need, you go up. I'm leaving."
Zhan Mohan refused decisively, then got into the car and turned around to leave.
Jiang Si Yu didn't even have a chance to say goodbye. She could only stand there blankly, watching. When she came to her senses, her expression had completely collapsed, leaving only ferocity and jealousy.
An idea flashed through her mind. If only Wei Yumeng didn't exist in this world. If Wei Yumeng wasn't around, Zhan Mohan wouldn't refuse her.
This Wei Yumeng, it seemed, could absolutely not be kept.
Wei Yumeng tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep no matter what. She didn't know why, but her mind kept conjuring images of Zhan Mohan and Jiang Si Yu together, wondering if sparks would fly.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Zhan Mohan, but she didn't trust Jiang Si Yu. What if Jiang Si Yu made a move on Zhan Mohan, and things just happened naturally? Besides, Zhan Mohan hadn't touched her recently. Didn't they say men were animals who thought with their lower halves?
The more she thought about it, the more agitated she became. She got up and went to the living room to pour a glass of water. Just then, the doorbell rang. She was a little stunned, wondering who it could be.
She opened the door and saw Zhan Mohan, wrapped in the night breeze, clearly having rushed over.
Wei Yumeng's mind went blank. "You... why are you here?"
Zhan Mohan raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you say you had something to talk to me about?"
"But you... weren't you at Jiang Si Yu's place?"
His appearance shocked her, but more than that, it brought her joy. The sheer happiness made her heart race, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl upwards, her eyes filled with unconcealed delight.
Zhan Mohan looked at her curved smile. She was quite cute, and he couldn't help but want to tease her.
"So... you thought I would spend the night with her tonight?"
"Uh... wasn't it?" Wei Yumeng retorted.
Zhan Mohan couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek. "What are you always thinking about in that little head of yours? Do you think I'm that unreliable? Do I have to sleep with every woman I meet? How shallow!"
Wei Yumeng was dumbfounded. He sounded so righteous, as if she was being petty. And... was she that obvious?
She subconsciously touched her cheek. It didn't feel hot, so she must not have been blushing.
Zhan Mohan could see through her little thoughts at a glance. He chuckled and leaned down, his fingers cupping her chin.
"Wei Yumeng, are you jealous? Worried that I would end up in Jiang Si Yu's bed tonight?"
Wei Yumeng was caught off guard by him seeing through her thoughts so directly, but she certainly couldn't admit it. She immediately shook her head vigorously.
"I did not."
"Then what are you doing wandering around the living room in the middle of the night, hmm?"
