Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2432: Chapter 236:

In Momo’s eyes, this man was so handsome that her heart started beating faster.

"Why aren’t you eating?"

Ye Zhan returned to the table and sat down.

"Is something the matter? If you have something to tend to, you should go ahead..."

"No, even if there is something, I still need to eat." Ye Zhan interrupted Momo, speaking gently.

The meal he was sharing with Momo today held significant meaning for him.

This was their first date together, if it could be counted as a date.

Thinking that he would leave the Imperial City tonight, and the next time they would meet was uncertain...he felt a wave of reluctance in his heart.

"What time is your flight this afternoon? Did you book your ticket?"

Ye Zhan picked up some food and placed it in Momo’s bowl, asking casually.

Momo shook her head.

When she decided to come to the Imperial City, her only thought was to see him, to clarify some things.

She hadn’t booked a ticket back to G City.

"No." Momo took a bite of rice, hesitated a bit, and said, "I received a photo last night."

"What photo?"

Ye Zhan’s brow showed a hint of doubt, and as soon as he spoke, he noticed Momo’s expression stiffened slightly.

Thoughts whirled through his mind and suddenly he understood, "Is it the photo of Ji Anyun and me? The one circulating online today?"

Afraid that Momo wasn’t aware of the post online, Ye Zhan searched for it on his phone to show her.

He felt at ease, even though the photos of him and Ji Anyun were online; he didn’t feel guilty, only concerned about Momo’s discomfort.

"Uh-huh."

Momo glanced at it briefly.

With Ji Anyun dressed like that holding him, anyone would think there was something wrong.

Coincidentally, when she called Ye Zhan, he didn’t answer.

It wasn’t entirely her fault for misunderstanding Ye Zhan.

For instance, the first time, Ji Anyun claimed she was with Ye Zhan first, fearing Ye Zhan’s misunderstanding, then she called to ask about the leak of her photo on social media.

She hung up and messaged Ye Zhan, but he didn’t respond.

"Momo..."

"I know now, and won’t misunderstand anymore. You don’t need to explain." Momo looked at Ye Zhan’s anxious appearance, feeling both touched and amused.

She did end up laughing out loud.

That laugh made Ye Zhan’s heart finally relax a bit, "As long as you don’t misunderstand."

"Have you met Ji Anyun?"

Momo saw him place the phone on the table and eat another bite, asking casually.

Ye Zhan put down his chopsticks to serve her soup, "I have, and I made things clear with her."

"She’s so resolute..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle these matters well. Once we finish eating, I’ll take you to the airport. You should go home first."

Ye Zhan also served himself a bowl of soup. Compared to Momo’s elegant use of a spoon to drink soup, he simply drank straight from the bowl.

Momo had previously eaten together with him.

Seeing him drink soup directly from the bowl this time, and mention driving her to the airport, she immediately understood that the call he received earlier certainly meant something had come up.

She decided to abandon the spoon as well, and drank the soup directly from the bowl.

After drinking half a bowl, she continued eating while also picking food for him, "With the end of the year approaching, you must be very busy. Don’t worry about calling or messaging me all the time. I’ll reach out to you, and you can reply whenever you have time."

Momo deliberately used a light tone to discuss the days after they had parted, so as not to distract him from his responsibilities.

"Alright."

Momo was finally satisfied and smiled.

Her eyes curved as she said to Ye Zhan, "Eat."

Then she lowered her head, focused on eating, and didn’t speak further.

Without much indication, she sped up her pace slightly.

Ye Zhan watched Momo’s actions quietly, not pointing them out.

A few minutes later, Momo put down her utensils, using a napkin to wipe her mouth, "I’m full. Hurry up."

Ye Zhan also put down his utensils, "I’m done too."

"Do you have time to take me to the airport? If you don’t, I’ll have the bodyguard come to pick me up." Momo looked at Ye Zhan’s sculpted, handsome face, hiding all her reluctance deep within.

Her emotions were conflicted.

She wanted to spend more time with him, yet feared delaying his affairs.

Ye Zhan reached out and held her, his large hand firmly clasped around hers, as he led her out of the private room, down the stairs, out of the restaurant, and into the parking lot.

Then he tucked her into the car.

His actions decisively revealed to her that he had time.
