Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2464: Chapter 268

Gu Zhitong smiled at Wen Qinghuan, raising an eyebrow slightly, as if to say, "You can handle this call."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

Wen Qinghuan pursed her lips, not hearing Feng Yize’s voice, and said, "I’ll take the phone to Sister Momo now."

She felt a bit annoyed that Gu Zhitong had answered the call but didn’t speak.

Feng Yize knew them well but not her.

Moreover, after she answered the phone, he stopped talking.

Wen Qinghuan immediately thought about the last time her brother helped her refuse to draw a portrait of Feng Yize, and he might have been upset, unwilling to speak to her anymore.

"No need, I don’t have anything urgent with Sister-in-law."

Feng Yize’s tone was somewhat hurried to stop her.

Over the phone, he actually didn’t know what to say to Qinghuan.

It seemed like there was nothing to say between them.

Previously, because she had drawn him as a beggar, he was annoyed.

Later when they met at Yi Pin Xuan, Wen Qinghuan offered to split her earnings with him and apologized.

Thus, the interactions between Feng Yize and her ceased...

"Qinghuan, last time you promised to help me with a portrait, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Feng Yize’s voice came through the phone, gently resonating in the quiet room.

Wen Qinghuan was momentarily stunned.

Gu Zhitong and Bai Qingling exchanged a glance, a peculiar smile appearing on both their faces.

Wen Qinghuan rubbed her nose with the back of her hand, unable to honestly tell him that her brother opposed it and explained as much.

She could only laugh awkwardly and say, "I was busy those days."

"I see, then next time we meet, you can help me with the portrait."

Feng Yize laughed with relief over the phone, and when his voice came through again, it had a delightful lilt to it.

He couldn’t see Wen Qinghuan’s conflicted expression through the screen.

All the tension of recent days seemed to be blown away like the wind, and he felt invigorated.

Next to him, watching him make the call, Chu Junming’s dark eyes showed a thoughtful glint.

Turns out, Yize went to G City and left his heart there.

No wonder he’s been so out of it since returning.

Chu Junming’s gaze lingered on Feng Yize’s face for a second, then lowered to the dishes on the table in front of him.

The next evening was New Year’s Eve.

The Mo family’s house was as lively as always.

This year, with Qin Mu’s parents and in-laws, Gu Yan wasn’t so bored, and the elderly chatted together.

Mo Xiuchen, Luo Haofeng, Wen Jin, Qin Mu, and Gu Kai played cards after dinner, while several women chatted together, and the younger ones went upstairs to play games.

Midway, Momo’s phone rang.

Momo got up, left the room, and stood in the corridor, pressing the answer button. Before she could speak, Chu Junming’s solemn and slightly urgent voice came through. "Sister-in-law, Grandpa Ye had an accident."

Momo’s small face suddenly turned pale, "What happened to Grandpa?"

There was a second of hesitation on the other end, and when Chu Junming’s voice came again, Momo felt he was holding something back, "I’m not sure of the specifics either. Grandpa Ye got injured, sister-in-law, can you come over now?"

In the corridor, Momo’s delicate face had a thin layer of paleness.

She tightened her grip on the phone.

"Where’s Grandpa now, at the hospital? I’ll book a flight now."

"Grandpa Ye is at the hospital, but he doesn’t want the doctors to operate. He wants to wait for Uncle Ye and you."

Chu Junming’s voice was low and heavy, transmitting through the distant line like an arrow penetrating Momo’s heart.

In her mind, Old Master Ye’s kindly smile appeared, and a rush of warmth soaked her eyes.

"Junming, are you at the hospital? Let me say a few words to Grandpa."

She pursed her lips tightly.

Momo sniffled before she spoke softly.

Two minutes later, Old Master Ye’s weak voice came into Momo’s ears.

"Little Momo."

"Grandpa."

Momo, listening to the elderly man’s weak and pained voice over the phone, felt tears almost falling from her lashes.

"Don’t be sad, Grandpa has some things he wants to say to you in person, please prepare yourself, and I’ll send someone to G City to pick you up."

"..."

"I can wait for you to come to the Imperial City, don’t worry."

"Grandpa... can’t you have the surgery first? I’ll bring my uncle to the Imperial City with me..."
