Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2296: Chapter 100: I Like You

“How could I be that kind of person?”

Mo Ziye replied leisurely.

After speaking, he laughed twice, “Ye Zhan, if you want to completely get rid of Shi Zhen, why not find her a man to marry?”

“I’m not her dad, why should I find a man for her? I’m not that bored.”

Ye Zhan seemed elegant and noble, but when he spoke, he was far from refined.

Qin Qingqing, sitting on Mo Ziye’s lap, listened in a daze and couldn’t help but interrupt, “Brother Ziyi, Ye Zhan, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“Qingqing, you’re here too?”

Hearing her voice, Ye Zhan was slightly surprised.

Qin Qingqing laughed lightly, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your phone call, Ye Zhan. What are you asking Brother Ziyi to do for you?”

“It’s not asking him to help me, but a deal we made – I help him find out the man who got Shi Xi pregnant, and he helps me deal with Shi Zhen. But he broke his promise.”

“Shi Zhen, huh!”

“Yeah, Qingqing, do you have any ideas? Either you or Mo Ziye can handle this matter.” Ye Zhan really didn’t want to see Shi Zhen.

After he returned to the base, Shi Zhen followed him there.

Although she couldn’t follow him around all day, she would see him at least once a day, affecting his mood.

With a slight turn of thought, Qin Qingqing smiled and agreed, “I’ll try, though I can’t guarantee I can handle Shi Zhen, but I’ll do my best.”

“Great, Qingqing, you’re straightforward, unlike Mo Ziye, who is such a schemer.”

“Brother Ziyi is not someone who breaks his word; you must have misunderstood him.” Qin Qingqing couldn’t bear anyone speaking ill of Mo Ziye, and she defended him instinctively.

Her words earned a mocking snort from Ye Zhan.

“Don’t be fooled by him; he’s not as exceptional as you think.”

“To me, Brother Ziyi is the most outstanding man in the world, unmatched by anyone.”

A gentle peck landed on her cheek from someone.

Qin Qingqing looked at Mo Ziye and laughed.

He spoke calmly, “If there’s nothing else, let’s hang up. Remember to send the things over.”

Ye Zhan snorted coldly again.

Ignoring Mo Ziye’s words, “Qingqing, though Grandpa An and Grandma An and Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin went to G City, Uncle Qin is still in the Imperial City. You should come back often. I heard that Gu Zhitong also came to Imperial City on a business trip; do you want to come back and play for a few days?”

“You know that Sister Tongtong went to Imperial City on business?”

“Yes, half an hour ago, Jinchen went to the airport to pick her up.”

——

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Capital Airport.

As Gu Zhitong walked out of security, she saw that it was Tang Jinchen waiting there to pick her up. A trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

She blinked and smiled, “Tang Jinchen, are you here to pick me up?”

Among the crowd, Tang Jinchen, tall and prominent, stood out even more in his military uniform, appearing handsome, stately, and exuding a sense of firmness and integrity.

His sharp gaze swept over Gu Zhitong’s suitcase, he bent down and reached out to help her with it, “Give it to me; you must be tired from the long flight. Let’s head back to the base first.”

“This flight wasn’t tiring, but I didn’t expect you to come to meet me.”

When Tang Jinchen’s hand dominantly extended, Gu Zhitong released her grip on the luggage handle and let him take the suitcase.

“I applied to be here.”

Tang Jinchen gazed at her intently. So close that his breathing carried the distinct scent of mild antiseptic from her, different from the perfume of other women.

His heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated.

A flash of heat passed through Gu Zhitong’s eyes but quickly disappeared.

He said to her, “Let’s get out of here,” and then he picked up the suitcase, walking ahead to lead her.

As a soldier, he naturally walked fast with his long legs.

Even though Gu Zhitong wasn’t wearing high heels, she struggled to keep up with his pace.

After a few meters, Tang Jinchen suddenly stopped, noticing the lagging Gu Zhitong, he felt slightly embarrassed, “I’m used to walking quickly, sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

After that, Tang Jinchen slowed his pace a bit, walking shoulder to shoulder with Gu Zhitong.

At the parking lot, he put the suitcase into the trunk, opened the passenger door for Gu Zhitong, and watched her get in before gently closing the door. Then he sat in the driver’s seat.

“It’s already noon; would you prefer to eat first or eat at the base after we get back?”

“You decide.”

“Then let’s eat at the base. Since you rarely come by, you should try our food.”

Tang Jinchen’s smile was bright and pure.

His military uniform added a layer of warmth to his persona.

“How’s your injury from before?”

On the way back to the base, Gu Zhitong remembered he’d mentioned a recent injury and asked with concern.

Tang Jinchen nodded, then turned to glance at her, “It’s just a minor injury; I’m fine.”

“Do you get injured often during missions?”

“No, usually we don’t get hurt.”

“Tongtong.”

After a couple of seconds, Tang Jinchen called out suddenly.

Gu Zhitong was about to turn her head to look outside when she heard him and blinked, smiling at him, “Yes?”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

“…”

Tang Jinchen’s question was too bold, too unexpected.

Gu Zhitong was momentarily stunned.

Seeing the confusion flash in her eyes, she responded lightly, “No.”

“Since you don’t have a boyfriend, why not be my girlfriend?”

“Cough cough cough…”

Gu Zhitong was choked on the water she was swallowing, coughing incessantly.

Beside her, Tang Jinchen’s eyes changed slightly as he pulled over, his hand reaching to pat her back.

“Sorry, I’m straightforward.”

While patting her back, he apologized.

After coughing several times, Gu Zhitong waved her hand immediately, signaling him to stop.

But because of his previous actions, Tang Jinchen frowned slightly, his defined features deep in thought.

This made Gu Zhitong feel like he was a big boy who misbehaved, not an excellent and decisive special forces officer.

“Tongtong, I like you.”

Swallowing, Tang Jinchen continued his confession.

Though Gu Zhitong didn’t choke again, she was still shocked by his confession.

She felt a little at a loss and embarrassed.

“I’m a soldier, with little time, and we live in different places. If not for your business trip, you wouldn’t be here. I don’t want to waste any minute of your short stay, which is why I’m confessing right as you arrive. Tongtong, seriously consider me. Though I don’t have much time to accompany you, nor am I romantic, I truly like you. I’m willing to spend my life loving you, protecting you, and being with you.”

“…”

Gu Zhitong’s calm heart was stirred by the man’s words.

She looked at him, opened her mouth, but couldn’t utter a word.
