Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2325: Chapter 129: I’m Not As Popular With The Opposite Sex As You Think

“Big brother, what did Shi Zhen mean by his words just now?”

As soon as he stepped out of Shi Family Gate, Feng Yize immediately asked.

His voice was low, so Momo and the others walking ahead couldn’t hear.

Ye Zhan glanced at him coolly, then looked at Momo, who was hand in hand with Gu Zhitong and Qin Qingqing.

Bo Yi pursed his lips and quickened his pace to catch up with them.

Gu Zhitong looked up, saw him, then turned her head to look at the other three people lagging behind, blinking, guessing that Ye Zhan wanted to talk to Momo.

So she called out to Qin Qingqing walking on Momo’s other side, “Qingqing.”

Qin Qingqing immediately let go of Momo.

Momo watched the two of them turn back to find the three people behind.

She did not stop them.

She just stood silently in the night.

Her eyes, as calm as water, looked quietly at Ye Zhan, who was half a head taller than her.

He was standing against the light, his handsome features particularly defined, his gaze seemed to carry a touch of depth.

She recalled the words she had said before the Shi Family matriarch’s spirit just now.

It seemed there was nothing that could have offended him.

Her thoughts shifted slightly, and she said softly, “I’m a bit tired, so I won’t join you for hot pot. You take Sister Tongtong and Qingqing. I’ll go home and check on Ziyi.”

“I’ll take you home.”

Ye Zhan paused, didn’t try to persuade her, but respected her decision.

Momo and the others had arrived in his car.

Now that she’s going back alone, it seems she can only take his car.

Moreover, even if she wanted to refuse, there was no opportunity.

After speaking, Ye Zhan turned back to the people talking a few steps away, “Jinchen, you guys go to the hot pot place first.”

“Big brother, aren’t you coming?”

Feng Yize asked with a teasing smile.

A pair of romantic eyes sparkling with an ambiguous light.

Ye Zhan left with a sentence, “I’ll go later.”

And offered no other explanation.

Tang Jinchen was not worried about what Ye Zhan would do, simply glanced in Momo’s direction.

Gu Zhitong and Qin Qingqing exchanged a look but didn’t ask any questions.

——

On the road, Ye Zhan glanced at Momo sitting in the passenger seat, her gaze on the scenery outside the window as if enjoying the night view.

Her half-profile facing him reflected a layer of luminous gloss under the dim light, her demeanor calm and gentle.

“Are you still angry about Shi Zhen’s words?”

“…”

Momo turned her head because of his voice.

Meeting his gentle gaze, she shook her head and smiled, saying, “What’s the point of being angry with someone like her. I’m not angry anymore.”

Ye Zhan raised an eyebrow lightly, a faint curve tugging at Bo Yi’s lips, “Indeed, she’s not worth the anger.”

“Hmm.”

Momo nodded.

She said nothing more but no longer turned her face to the window.

Instead, she leaned against the seat, her brows and eyes calm, her eyelids slightly lowered.

“Shi Dongliang probably wasn’t sincere in agreeing to let Shi Zhen apologize publicly.”

After a moment, Ye Zhan’s voice sounded low and deep again.

“He reluctantly agreed because of the crowd earlier and Shi Zhen’s scandal a few days ago, letting his daughter apologize to me.”

She looked up at Ye Zhan driving, casually asked, “Was my demand earlier a bit excessive?”

Ye Zhan replied without hesitation, “Not at all.”

“Haha, then I’m relieved.”

Feeling supported, a cheerful smile suddenly bloomed on Momo’s eyebrows and eyes, like a spring breeze opening pear blossoms overnight, captivating.

Moments later, she slightly restrained her smile and softly said, “If it were another woman saying such things, I might not mind. But not Shi Zhen; she’s of the Shi family, representing the faces of Shi Dongping and Shi Dongliang.”

Ye Zhan’s brows moved slightly, but he said nothing, just quietly listened.

“Regardless of whether the culprit who hurt Ziyi and killed Aunt An is one of them, or both had a hand in it, Shi family is the enemy of my family. Towards Shi Zhen, I have no wish to show any mercy.”

“Actually, this is my fault; I didn’t know Shi Zhen would target you.”

Ye Zhan glanced at her, then turned to look at the road conditions in the night ahead.

“I heard Shi Zhen wants to marry you, Shi Xi as well, seems like I’ll have to keep my distance from you.”

“How far?”

Ye Zhan grinned casually and asked.

Momo chuckled lightly, “As far as possible, I dislike trouble the most. Luckily, Imperial City and G City are a thousand miles apart.”

“…”

Ye Zhan couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

Especially seeing Momo’s increasingly relaxed expression, completely opposite to those women who want to pounce on him upon seeing him.

“I’m not as popular with the opposite sex as you imagine.”

He still explained himself a bit.

“How could that be?”

Momo laughed incredulously, scrutinizing his handsome face that turns countless women head over heels, “There might be few women as obsessed with you as Shi Zhen, but I’m sure if you gave others a chance, you’d be extremely popular.”

“You’re a host; I can’t argue with you.”

Ye Zhan suddenly didn’t want to continue this topic.

If they kept discussing, he would be outmatched by Momo in this topic.

Because he was indeed popular with women.

Only his aloof nature made some women dare not approach.

Momo chuckled lightly, agreeing to end the topic.

“If you’re feeling better, we can go to the hot pot place for a bit. If you don’t go, Gu Zhitong and Qingqing might worry about you.”

“If I don’t go, it seems pretentious. Then let’s go.”

Momo looked at him for a moment, then said with a cheeky smile.

Earlier, she was indeed affected.

But not because Shi Zhen’s words damaged her reputation, but because Shi Zhen’s behavior reminded her of the Shi family, reminded her of the deceased An Lin.

“It’s not pretentious; it’s just without you, everyone can’t enjoy.”

Momo turned back to the window again, looked and then turned back, “Actually, this road isn’t the way home, right?”

“If you want to go back, the turn is ahead, but I think you didn’t want to go because you weren’t in a good mood earlier. Feel better, and you might want to go.”

“So, you drove so slowly for this reason.”

Ye Zhan smiled noncommittally.

When they arrived at the hot pot place, they were more than ten minutes late compared to the others.

Yet, it was just in time for dinner to start.

In the private room, Gu Zhitong and Qin Qingqing were not sitting together.

Because Feng Yize insisted on pairing males and females, Gu Zhitong’s sides were occupied by Tang Jinchen and Chu Junming, Qin Qingqing’s right was Tang Jinchen, and left was Feng Yize.

Ye Zhan and Momo arrived late, without a choice.

She could only sit next to Ye Zhan.

However, Ye Zhan sat next to Feng Yize, leaving Momo to sit on the other side.

This prompted Feng Yize, who initially proposed pairings, to protest, “Big brother, switch with Momo; I want to sit by her, not you.”

“If you don’t want to eat, settle the bill and go home to sleep.”

“…”
