Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2417: Chapter 221

Momo lowered her gaze and gently pressed her red lips together.

Above her, Ye Zhan’s voice sounded, carrying a certain unknown resoluteness within its deep tone, "Momo, I need to return to the Imperial City immediately."

"Go your own way, why tell me."

Momo avoided his large hand attempting to grab her.

Inside, she couldn’t describe how she felt—just a mix of sadness, anger, and some emotions she couldn’t express verbally, all tangled up like an inexplicable ball of yarn.

Ye Zhan’s hand froze in mid-air.

His gaze locked onto her, his voice softening a few degrees, "Momo, you should go home first, I’ll come to find you in G City later."

"I don’t need you to bother, just take care of Ji Anyun."

Momo suddenly didn’t want to see Ye Zhan anymore and turned to leave.

But she couldn’t.

Ye Zhan caught her hand.

"Momo, the one I like is you, not Ji Anyun."

Momo’s struggle paused.

She stared at Ye Zhan, observing his stern and sharp brows.

What did he just say.

Her head buzzed, as if she hadn’t heard what he had just said clearly.

Ye Zhan paused slightly.

Seeing Momo’s dazed and confused expression, his feelings grew indescribably complex.

He recalled the sense of joy that swept over him that morning when he opened the floor-length curtains and immediately saw her familiar slender figure running on the asphalt road outside.

He tightened his grip on Momo’s hand.

"Momo, give me some time."

After saying that, he exerted force and pulled her into his embrace, holding her tightly for a moment before letting go.

There wasn’t time for Momo to calm down.

Ye Zhan spoke gently, "I’ll take you home first."

"I don’t need you to take me."

"Give me your phone."

Ye Zhan pressed his lips together.

The man standing before her remained unmoving.

Suddenly, he seemed in no rush to leave, stubbornly asking for her phone.

Momo frowned, her voice cold.

"Leave, what are you standing here for."

"Momo."

He called her name.

Though his voice was low, it dropped into her heart as heavy as a boulder.

She pulled out her phone and handed it over.

Ye Zhan accepted it, returning it to her a minute later with a faint smile on his lips, "Don’t block me again."

Momo silently took it back, her pressed lips showing stubbornness.

"I’ll take you home."

For the first time, Momo realized how stubborn Ye Zhan could be.

Stubborn enough to insist on taking her home.

She didn’t want to continue arguing with him, feeling too tangled and chaotic inside, lacking the heart for running or exercise, only saying coldly, "My home is right next to yours, you go ahead, I don’t want to be on the same path as you, I’ll go back slowly myself."

Gu Zhitong made a call to Tang Jinchen, stared blankly at her phone for a few seconds, frowned slightly, changed clothes, and washed up.

Until Gu Zhitong went downstairs, Tang Jinchen hadn’t called again.

She held her phone as she descended the stairs, finding Gu Kai in the living room reading a medical journal.

Her mother Bai Yiyi was in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

"Dad, good morning."

Gu Zhitong smiled as she walked over to sit beside Gu Kai, tilting her head to look at the magazine in his hands.

Gu Kai smiled, placed the magazine on his lap, and asked Gu Zhitong, "Tongtong, have you been in touch with Momo?"

"Dad, I have been in touch with Momo, why do you ask?"

Gu Zhitong blinked, feeling that her father’s question carried some deeper meaning.

Sure enough, Gu Kai pondered before saying, "Last night, your uncle called late, asking me to recommend some promising young men for Tongtong, saying it was Momo’s idea."

"Did you agree?"
