Wei Yumeng naturally felt upset seeing those comments, but Chen Yutong, on the other hand, was ecstatic.
She had watched the video countless times. Every time a close-up of Zhan Mohan appeared, her face would flush with embarrassment.
She had waited a long time for an opportunity like this. Ever since that day many years ago, she had longed to be by Zhan Mohan's side.
Chen Yutong reached out and touched the screen, her fingers lightly caressing the spot where Zhan Mohan's cheek was in the video.
"Mohan, you probably will never know how long I've waited. I'm truly so happy today," Chen Yutong murmured, her gaze towards the screen filled with infinite tenderness.
In fact, she and Zhan Mohan had known each other a long time ago. However, based on her current observations, Zhan Mohan definitely did not recognize her.
It happened many years ago. At that time, Chen Yutong was not the glamorous model she was now. She was just an ordinary woman who was still striving for her own path.
Chen Yutong clearly remembered that day. She had encountered setbacks at work, and various troubles had erupted in her family. At that moment, she didn't even know how she could go on living.
She was in such pain, wandering the streets, even contemplating if there was any situation that could unexpectedly end her life.
Perhaps it was her thoughts that reached the heavens. It was at this very moment that she encountered a few hooligans.
"Beautiful lady, why are you wandering around here alone? Why not have some fun with us?"
When she saw those men, she no longer felt any fear. She thought perhaps this was for the best, as she had no idea what value there was in living anymore.
But just as she was being pushed against the wall by the hooligans, Zhan Mohan appeared.
Zhan Mohan frowned, looking at the hooligans. His aura alone was enough to send chills down one's spine.
Those hooligans were not inherently evil people. Just a scare from Zhan Mohan sent them scrambling away in a hurry.
Zhan Mohan did not speak to Chen Yutong, nor did he even look at her. He simply turned to leave.
"Wait, what's your name? Thank you for earlier."
But Zhan Mohan did not answer her. He merely glanced at her indifferently and left.
Even now, Chen Yutong remembered Zhan Mohan's profile then, his expression then, and his aura then.
Originally, she had truly given up all hope for this world. But at that moment, Zhan Mohan became her hope.
Through an accidental encounter, Chen Yutong finally learned of Zhan Mohan's identity. She then realized that the person who had saved her was actually someone of such high standing.
Thus, from that moment on, she began to live diligently, to climb upwards, hoping that one day she could stand alongside Zhan Mohan.
As Chen Yutong reminisced about the past, the smile on her face grew increasingly dim. This was because they had met far too late, and as a result, Zhan Mohan already had a wife.
Thinking this, Chen Yutong searched for Wei Yumeng's photos online. Although it was just a simple introduction, it could not conceal Wei Yumeng's inherent grace.
"Mohan, no matter how outstanding she is, I want to fight for it. I want to become someone by your side."
The day after the event ended, Wei Yumeng did not outwardly display her displeasure. Just as she had considered, she did not want to let her personal emotions affect Zhan Mohan's work.
But even if Wei Yumeng didn't voice it, it didn't mean Zhan Mohan couldn't see it.
After all, when Zhan Mohan returned home, Wei Yumeng did not greet him as she usually did. She even seemed a bit flustered.
Zhan Mohan sighed. He had indeed anticipated such a situation.
"Did you watch the live broadcast then?"
Wei Yumeng nodded slightly. "Yes, the event was held very well. Chen Yutong... is also a good spokesperson."
Wei Yumeng's slight pause still betrayed her thoughts.
Zhan Mohan pulled her into his embrace. "I told you, you really don't need to worry that I would be with other women."
Wei Yumeng bit her lower lip. "Of course I know, but... but sometimes I still feel a little uncomfortable."
Zhan Mohan chuckled lightly. "Mmm, I'm very happy."
"Happy about what?" Wei Yumeng asked, displeased. She felt incredibly uncomfortable, yet Zhan Mohan said he was happy at this moment.
"Doesn't your discomfort stem from your love for me?"
Zhan Mohan said, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Wei Yumeng. Wei Yumeng stared blankly at Zhan Mohan for a moment, then blushed deeply.
Clearly, they were an old married couple, and there was nothing wrong with saying such things. But why did she inexplicably feel a sense of shyness?
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore." Wei Yumeng pushed Zhan Mohan away and busied herself with other things.
Watching Wei Yumeng's retreating back, Zhan Mohan understood that mere words might not completely reassure her. It was time for him to take the initiative to make Wei Yumeng feel secure.
The next morning, Wei Yumeng discovered that Zhan Mohan had forgotten to bring essential work documents when he left. This was highly unusual for Zhan Mohan.
Worried that these documents would delay his work, she quickly called him.
"Mohan, you forgot your documents at home when you left."
As expected, Zhan Mohan's slightly troubled voice came from the other end of the line. "I must have been too rushed leaving this morning. Could you please bring them to me? I have something to attend to and can't get away."
Wei Yumeng readily agreed. "Okay, I'll bring them to you right away."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Yumeng packed her things and, taking the documents, headed out.
Although Wei Yumeng was still surprised that Zhan Mohan could be forgetful, considering how meticulous he was with his work, sometimes even frighteningly so.
However, this incident now made Wei Yumeng feel that Zhan Mohan had a more human side.
Upon arriving at the headquarters of Zhan Group, everyone there knew Wei Yumeng's identity, so no one obstructed her way.
Wei Yumeng felt that the gazes from the people there were somewhat strange, a strangeness she couldn't quite articulate.
Just as she was still a corridor away from Zhan Mohan's office, she encountered Fang Xun.
"Madam, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to deliver something," Wei Yumeng said, showing him the documents in her hand.
Fang Xun nodded, but after a moment's thought, he said, "Madam, why don't you give the documents to me? I can take them to Mr. Zhan."
Wei Yumeng glanced in the direction of Zhan Mohan's office. "It's alright, it's just a few steps. I'll go myself."
But upon hearing this, Fang Xun's expression became somewhat unnatural, which made Wei Yumeng feel a bit suspicious.
