Wen Xueshan suppressed the sadness in her heart, looking at Qiu Zhun with a serious expression.
She knew she still held a glimmer of hope, naturally wishing that everything she had investigated was just a misunderstanding.
But could Qiu Zhun truly give her a reasonable explanation?
Even a tremor of doubt and fear ran through her: what if what she waited for was just a flimsy lie?
"You don't need to say anything..." Wen Xueshan still lacked the courage. "You just need to tell me, can we still be together?"
Qiu Zhun quickly replied, "Of course we can. I said I wouldn't let go. I won't leave you, and I won't let you leave me easily either."
Wei Yumeng saw the two sigh. Perhaps Qiu Zhun wanted to try harder to ensure the surprise in two days, but if the matter wasn't clarified now, it was uncertain whether the surprise would even be useful by then.
"Mr. Qiu, you should still tell her. I think even if things aren't exactly as we imagined, they won't be too bad."
Hearing Wei Yumeng's words, Qiu Zhun sighed. He looked at Wen Xueshan's still confused eyes and had to take a step back.
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't hide anything anymore," he said, lowering his voice. "I'll speak with the doctor in a moment. I'll take you somewhere, and once we're there, you'll know everything."
With that, Qiu Zhun left the ward to handle the procedures.
After Qiu Zhun left, only Wei Yumeng and Wen Xueshan remained in the ward. The atmosphere was terrifyingly awkward, making even Wei Yumeng restless.
She hadn't done anything wrong, yet being stared at by Wen Xueshan made her feel uncomfortable.
However, Wei Yumeng could only endure, trusting that everything would become clear soon.
After a short while, Qiu Zhun returned to the ward. "Alright, we can leave now."
He packed up the things Wen Xueshan might need before taking her away.
Along the way, although Qiu Zhun constantly tried to find topics to talk to Wen Xueshan, she was clearly still lost in her own emotions. It was unlikely she would respond to Qiu Zhun easily until the entire matter was resolved.
Wei Yumeng felt a bit frustrated, wondering how a simple matter could have escalated to this point.
But for now, at least, they still had a chance to prove everything.
Driven by Qiu Zhun, the car meandered its way to a place with beautiful scenery.
This was a new villa development by Zhan Corporation, nearing completion but already a sought-after real estate area in the city.
The scale and arrangement here were different from other developments. It was situated within a scenic area, offering close proximity to nature just by stepping outside. The surrounding flora was natural, making it an ideal recreational spot for modern people.
Because of this, it had become a sensation even during its construction phase, and now, despite its outrageously high prices, all units had been sold.
"Come, be careful," Qiu Zhun said after getting out of the car, opening the door for Wen Xueshan and reaching out to help her alight.
Wen Xueshan looked around, surprised. She had no idea why Qiu Zhun brought her here.
The villa before her was uniquely designed, just as she liked it, yet it was a place she never dared to imagine.
"What did you bring me here for?"
Qiu Zhun merely gave her a mysterious smile. "Follow me."
He led Wen Xueshan towards the villa. Upon reaching the entrance, Wen Xueshan still couldn't quite believe it.
"I had planned to bring you here in two days. Seeing you like this, you've probably forgotten, but that's your birthday. That's why I discussed with Ms. Wei to give you this surprise on that day."
As Qiu Zhun spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Wei Yumeng.
In reality, with his capabilities, it had long been impossible to purchase a property here. Not only were the prices high, but they were also already reserved by others.
However, Wei Yumeng had stepped in to help him at this crucial moment.
In fact, for every real estate project of Zhan Corporation, Zhan Mohan would reserve the best locations, ensuring that at least one property would remain unsold.
So, Wei Yumeng had discussed with Zhan Mohan and arranged for this place to be given to Qiu Zhun.
"You're giving this to me?" Wen Xueshan still found it hard to believe.
"That's not entirely accurate. This is meant to be our new home together. I've thought about it; after the baby is born, we should provide the best living conditions. Moreover, you're pregnant now, and I don't want you to stay in the hospital all the time, so I found this place as our home."
Qiu Zhun finished speaking and took out a key to open the door.
Wen Xueshan didn't know what to feel anymore. She followed Qiu Zhun and Wei Yumeng as they surveyed the villa.
Almost every detail of the decoration was to her liking, and there was even a room that perfectly replicated her current living space.
The amount of effort Qiu Zhun had put in was evident.
Yet, she had misunderstood him, even suggesting they separate. What had she done?
Finally, Wen Xueshan, filled with remorse, crouched down, covering her face.
Qiu Zhun was startled and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... really sorry!" Wen Xueshan repeatedly said, "You were clearly preparing all of this for us, but I... I was so petty. I thought you..."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least this indicated that Wen Xueshan truly understood the situation.
"It's alright, you don't need to blame yourself so much," Wei Yumeng also crouched down and gently patted Wen Xueshan's shoulder. "Every woman doesn't want her man to meet other women, even I feel the same way."
However, at this moment, Wen Xueshan remembered an even more serious issue.
She recalled the photos showed Qiu Zhun and Wei Yumeng at the entrance of a hotel, but this place was clearly not where the photos were taken.
Had she been too easily moved?
Wen Xueshan bit her lower lip. She even felt annoyed that she was thinking about this at such a time.
If she hadn't remembered, perhaps she could have happily accepted Qiu Zhun's surprise, and everything would have returned to normal.
But now, if she didn't get to the bottom of it, how could she be at peace?
"Ah Zhun, tell me, if you were indeed preparing this place these past few days, then why did my friend see you meeting at the entrance of a hotel?"
Qiu Zhun was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Wen Xueshan to know such specific details.
Wei Yumeng also frowned. It seemed Wen Xueshan's so-called friend was not simple. It was highly likely that after Wen Xueshan became suspicious, she had deliberately ordered an investigation.
She looked at Qiu Zhun; his answer this time was crucial.
