Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2423: Chapter 227

Before Momo could speak again, Ye Zhan gently called out, "Momo."

His voice was truly wonderful.

Especially when he softened it, with a deep yet tender tone, and the slightly drawn-out ending seemed to tickle Momo’s heart like a feather.

Causing her heart to tremble slightly.

Slightly pursing her lips, Momo furrowed her elegant brows, thinking, "Did you bandage the wound on your hand?"

In the morning, she had seen the gauze on his hand stained with blood.

It must have happened during their pull and tug, reopening the wound.

At that time, she was upset, holding in a surge of anger, pretending not to see and didn’t express any concern.

Now, thinking back, she couldn’t help but worry.

Ye Zhan felt warmth in his heart, and laughter spread in his eyes like a deep sea filled with stars.

He directly raised his injured left hand, letting Momo on the other side of the video call see, "I just had it bandaged, no need to worry."

He intentionally slowed down his speech for those last four words.

Even through the screen, the atmosphere was subtle.

Momo saw his dazzling smile, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.

Instinctively, she wanted to deny her concern for him.

But thinking of Feng Yize’s words, a tinge of bitterness rose in her heart, but ultimately her worry for him prevailed.

"Weren’t you going back to see Ji Anyun? Why haven’t you seen her yet?"

Momo changed the topic.

No emotion could be heard in her tone.

Ye Zhan retracted his smile, his expression serene, with gentle brows, "Something came up, got delayed."

He spoke as if it was nothing.

But Momo was perceptive.

Even though she didn’t show it on her face, Ye Zhan noticed the subtle change in her emotions, "Momo, have you seen Yi Ze?"

"I have. Feng Yize explained a lot to me."

Momo blinked and gathered her emotions, a faint smile rising in her eyes.

Ye Zhan noticed a flicker of light in the depths of her eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did he say?"

"He said you’re going to marry Ji Anyun."

"Nonsense, don’t listen to him." Ye Zhan’s expression changed, his tone immediately becoming stern.

Momo burst into laughter, her eyes curved like crescents, outshining the warmth of spring.

"I was teasing you."

Ye Zhan watched her bright smile, feeling his heart skip a beat, suddenly entranced, reluctant to break the beauty of the moment with words.

After laughing, Momo saw Ye Zhan watching her intently, felt her face grow hot, and lowered her eyes with a flutter.

A soft voice slipped out from her lips, "Feng Yize said a lot of nice things about you, I just don’t know which are true and which are false."

"..."

Ye Zhan didn’t speak.

He just fixed his focused gaze on Momo.

She paused, and he remained silently composed.

Knowing she hadn’t finished speaking.

He patiently waited.

It was just a video call across the screen, yet it evoked a long-lost sense of happiness in his heart.

Since his mother’s passing, he had never felt such warmth and happiness from any woman over these years.

"Ye Zhan."

Momo raised her eyes, looking at him tenderly.

Ye Zhan curved his lips, responding softly, "I’m here."

"Don’t do that again in the future."

Momo felt a tightness in her heart, an inexplicable discomfort.

She had previously been very hurt by Ye Zhan’s rejection, even worried she might end up pestering him uncontrollably, becoming someone he hated, and resolutely deleted him.

Later, seeing his interaction with Ji Anyun, she felt even more hurt.

She would never have dreamed that his actions were to protect her.

Ye Zhan’s gaze shifted slightly, the curve of his lips gradually fading, and Bo Yi’s lips gently pressed together.

Momo waited for a moment, but Ye Zhan didn’t respond.

She said flatly, "I’ll call you later."

Ye Zhan faintly heard someone calling her, and he had yet to receive a call from Feng Yize, unaware that Momo’s parents were in L City.

He guessed she was about to board a plane.

So he kindly said, "Let’s talk again once you’re home."

Momo vaguely replied with an "mm" and ended the video call.

Ye Zhan looked at the time recorded on the video call displayed on the phone screen, realizing he had maintained the same posture the entire time.

Reflecting on Momo’s recent words, the warmth he felt in his heart was hard to suppress.

Only Momo’s plea for him not to do that in the future.

He didn’t promise.

Gathering his emotions, Ye Zhan put his phone in his pocket and took the elevator downstairs.
