Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2465: Chapter 269

Two hours later, Gu Kai accompanied Momo to the Imperial City.

Although Old Master Ye refused Momo’s proposal over the phone, he knew his own condition well enough.

If he didn’t have surgery, he could wait to see her and Ye Zhangming.

If he went into surgery, he wouldn’t be able to see anyone.

Momo refused to let Old Master Ye send someone to pick her up on the phone, opting instead to travel directly by the Mo family’s private jet to the Imperial City.

When they arrived, Ye Zhangming had already returned.

Chu Junming and Feng Yize were waiting at the hospital entrance.

Seeing Gu Kai coming with Momo, Chu Junming politely greeted them and asked Feng Yize to take Gu Kai to the dean’s office.

He accompanied Momo upstairs to see Old Master Ye.

"Grandpa, do you know who it is?"

She turned her head and asked Chu Junming, who was frowning.

His eyes flickered slightly, Mo Yu’s gaze contained a hint of emotion as he shook his head gently, saying, "I don’t know if Grandpa Ye knows."

"Has the news of Grandpa’s injury been blocked?"

She didn’t see any reporters upon entering the hospital, nor did she hear anyone discussing the issue.

Chu Junming nodded, "Grandpa Ye had the news blocked."

"Then, does the President know?"

Momo’s voice sounded gentle and soft, yet Chu Junming was slightly taken aback.

"The President knows, Grandpa Ye is merely keeping it from the reporters." As Chu Junming said this, a hint of struggle flashed across his dark eyes.

He suddenly realized that calling her might have been a mistake.

Hands clenched slightly by his sides, his handsome face softened with a smile, "Sister-in-law, let’s go see Grandpa Ye first."

"Okay."

Momo nodded.

She wondered if it was just her imagination.

She felt that Chu Junming’s tone when he called her "Sister-in-law" tonight had a subtle difference from usual.

She couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was different, but it felt different in her heart.

And Feng Yize.

Earlier downstairs, he barely said a word.

When Chu Junming asked him to take her uncle to the dean’s office, he accepted the order immediately and took Gu Kai upstairs in the elevator.

Chu Junming opened the door to the hospital room, allowing Momo to enter first.

Inside the room, aside from Ye Zhangming, there were no outsiders.

Upon seeing her come in, Ye Zhangming stood up from the single kneeling position by the bed, his gaze held a hint of complexity as he looked at Momo.

Momo politely called out, "Uncle Ye," and quickly walked to the bedside, inquiring about Old Master Ye’s condition with concern.

"Little Momo, have a seat."

Old Master Ye’s head was wrapped in gauze, now tinged an ominous dark red instead of its original white.

The once spirited old man looked weak and old, with eyes that no longer appeared shrewd and bright, now clouded with many complex emotions.

"Could you all step out for a moment? I want to have a few words alone with Momo."

"Grandpa Ye..."

Chu Junming’s handsome face changed slightly as he called out.

Momo turned her head, noticing his brows knitted in slight tension, eyes filled with emotions yet to be concealed.

Meeting her gaze, his eyes flickered again.

Momo’s heartbeat paused slightly.

An indescribable unease silently crept into her heart.

Although Old Master Ye was weak, his attitude remained resolute.

Ye Zhangming hesitated briefly before saying a few words to Momo, then proceeded to leave with Chu Junming.

Perhaps the room was too overwhelmingly white—the white walls, the white ceiling, the white bed sheets.

The combined whiteness gave Momo’s fair face a clear pallor.

"Little Momo, come a bit closer."

Old Master Ye looked at Momo warmly for a few seconds before slowly speaking, gesturing her over.

Momo crouched by the bedside, pressing her dry lips together, speaking softly, "Grandpa, my uncle is here too. Whatever you want to tell me, you can wait until after the surgery."

"It’s been difficult enough for me to hold out until now."

Old Master Ye found it cumbersome speaking with the oxygen mask on and attempted to pull it off.

But Momo stopped him, "Grandpa."

He smiled gently, with a touch of apology and heartache in his expression, "Little Momo, have I ever told you that there are many ways you are like Ah Zhan’s mother."

"..."

"Little Momo, do you know why I asked you to come urgently, why I must see you?"

A sharp clarity emerged in Old Master Ye’s clouded gaze, staring decisively at Momo’s pale face.

At these words, her pupils contracted slightly.

After a long moment, she suppressed the rising emotion in her heart, calmly meeting Old Master Ye’s sharp gaze with her clear eyes, lightly speaking with a calm and gentle voice, "Grandpa, did something happen to Ye Zhan?"
