Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2430: Chapter 234: You Are the Hero in My Heart

The sound of knocking echoed.

Ye Zhan helped Momo sit up, and the door of the private room was opened.

The waiter came in carrying the dishes.

The waiter was evidently smart; after leaving earlier, they didn’t immediately push the door open, but knocked first and waited a moment.

"Young Master Zhan, Miss Momo, please enjoy your meal."

The waiter nodded and smiled, retreating from the private room.

Momo blinked in surprise, "How does she know me?"

Ye Zhan’s smiling gaze rested gently on her as he picked up chopsticks and served her food, "All the staff here know you."

She wasn’t visiting for the first time.

Feng Yize had already told the waiters that Momo was his older brother’s woman, his future sister-in-law.

"No wonder I felt she was looking at me strangely earlier, did Feng Yize say that?"

Ye Zhan chuckled lightly; who else but Yize would have that much free time, "Try how it tastes."

"I’ll handle it myself, you eat your own."

Momo looked at Ye Zhan’s smile, and unwittingly some playfulness colored her eyes and brows.

The air still carried the hint of intimacy from their earlier kiss; after all, she was a girl, thin-skinned and not as shameless as Ye Zhan, the reserved, thick-skinned man.

Seeing her shy, Ye Zhan’s smile grew even deeper, "I can still eat well while taking care of you."

He finished speaking, and simply brought the food he picked up to her mouth instead of her bowl.

Momo was taken aback.

Staring at him, her face seemed to grow hotter by the minute.

She was a bit annoyed internally, and a thoughtless question slipped out, "Have you kissed other women before?"

"..."

Ye Zhan was momentarily stunned.

The chopsticks holding the food were still frozen near her lips.

"Why ask such a thing?"

After a moment, he asked softly.

Momo furrowed her brows, reached out to grab his chopsticks, and opened her mouth to eat the food he had brought to her lips.

"Wasn’t it me who asked?"

She felt something was wrong with her, otherwise, why would she ask such a question.

Ye Zhan caught Momo’s expression, mixed with playfulness, annoyance, and other emotions.

His heart softened, "Other than you, I’ve never kissed any other female creature."

He clearly answered seriously, yet that slightly hoarse voice carried a compelling allure.

In Momo’s ears, her heart skipped a beat.

Her face grew even redder.

She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to meet his gaze.

Ye Zhan couldn’t help but chuckle quietly.

"Momo, if you keep blushing, I’ll want to kiss you again and we won’t even get to eat."

"What can I do; I’m not as thick-skinned as you."

Momo’s small face suddenly lifted.

Meeting his teasing grin, she glared at him in shame and annoyance.

"Stop looking at me, eat your meal."

"Alright."

Ye Zhan agreed.

He served her another bite of food before putting a piece into his own mouth.

Momo watched him feed himself, recalling how she had grabbed his chopsticks to eat.

She dared not let her thoughts wander any further, quickly changing the subject, "Did my dad give you trouble when he called you this morning?"

Her father was not supportive of her coming to the Imperial City.

It was only after saving her mother that she could come to see him.

Ye Zhan didn’t immediately respond; instead, he focused on the concern and worry in Momo’s eyes, then softly said after a few seconds, "Uncle Mo said if I couldn’t protect you, he won’t allow us to be together."

"Don’t take my dad’s words to heart; I can protect myself and don’t want you to be distracted because of me."

Momo hurriedly explained.

Afraid Ye Zhan would feel burdened because of her father’s words.

Since she decided to be with him, naturally she considered everything for him.

"You have so little faith in me?"

Ye Zhan raised his eyebrows at Momo, feeling a trace of warmth due to her words.

"It’s not that I lack faith."

Momo shook her head.

Her red lips pressed lightly as she thought before saying, "I’m with you because I like you, not to hire you as a bodyguard. Besides, you shouldn’t only protect me; you have your responsibilities."

Ye Zhan’s expression shifted slightly.

These words were so familiar.

Once, his mother spoke similarly.

He still remembered clearly the look in his mother’s eyes before she passed, a gaze filled with unspoken words and reluctant longing.

Yet there was no resentment for his father.

She was willing to die.

Because the man she loved wasn’t ordinary.

She never held him back.

Something involuntarily surged in his eyes, like a tide beneath his gaze, though it was forcibly suppressed quickly.

Momo still sensed his emotional shift.

Her heart tighten instinctively, she asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
