Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2493: Chapter 297

Haochen, penthouse.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the CEO’s office, Mo Ziye’s tall figure stood with his hands behind his back.

The phone rang several times before he turned and returned to his desk. Seeing the name displayed on the caller ID, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Staring at the flashing screen for a few seconds, his slender fingers pressed the answer button, and his voice, cold and clear, slipped out from his thin lips, "What, can’t Mo Xin satisfy you?"

"She said she knows where Momo went, so I just went with her and sat inside for a while."

The voice from the phone was as mild and indifferent as his attitude.

Mo Ziye sneered mockingly, "Since when did you become so foolish that you couldn’t find out where she went, yet a woman who is no longer a part of the Mo family knows?"

"She doesn’t know where Momo went, but when she saw me, she had the opportunity to badmouth you."

"What did she say?"

Mo Ziye leaned back in his chair, the sarcasm at the corners of his mouth deepening.

"You grew up with her; you should know what she would say. She’s no longer part of the Mo family, nor an employee of Haochen, yet she chose the cafe opposite Haochen. You should understand her intention."

Who’s the fool here?

Ye Zhan’s words provoked a burst of laughter from Mo Ziye, "Then just go along with her wishes, anyway, it will be convenient when you next need to sacrifice a woman."

"If that’s your wish, then I’m sorry, I can’t fulfill it."

With that, Ye Zhan hung up on him.

Mo Ziye looked at the disconnected call, the darkness in his eyes deepening, and he casually dialed a number.

After a few rings, Mo Xin’s voice came through, "Hello, Ziyi."

"Do you want to marry Ye Zhan?"

"Ziyi, why would you say that?"

On the other end, after hearing Ye Zhan’s cold voice, Mo Xin couldn’t figure out his intentions and became cautious.

"It’s your own business if you covet Ye Zhan, I can ignore it. But if you dare to sow discord even a little, or do anything to hurt my sister, you know the consequences."

"Ziyi, I didn’t do anything, I just ran into Ye Zhan and invited him for a cup of coffee."

"Don’t pretend in front of me. Within a day, get out of G City and never set foot here again. I can let you go; otherwise, bear the consequences yourself."

——

Ye Zhan returned to the Imperial City that day.

Before leaving, he met Tang Jinchen.

Ye Zhan didn’t ask if Tang Jinchen knew where Momo went.

Tang Jinchen proactively said that Gu Zhitong really didn’t know where Momo had gone this time, to which Ye Zhan simply listened.

Even if Gu Zhitong knew, she wouldn’t tell him.

The reason she told him Momo’s whereabouts last night was because she knew Momo was only temporarily staying there, and she would soon leave; the final destination wasn’t the countryside.

"Let me know once the wedding date is set."

"Of course."

The meeting between Tang Jinchen and Gu Zhitong’s parents went smoothly. The specific date wasn’t set; Gu Zhitong said they would wait for Momo to return before marrying.

He didn’t ask Momo’s whereabouts again, only occasionally asked Gu Zhitong if Momo was doing well.

Ye Zhan never gave up searching for Momo, but the Mo family deliberately concealed information, and his efforts yielded no results.

Due to Old Master Ye’s persistent coma, Ye Zhan’s relationship with Ye Zhangming remained strained with no signs of easing.

Ye Zhangming called Ye Zhan numerous times, and messages passed through Chu Junming and Feng Yize were all to no avail.

Time slipped away in search and longing, seasons came and went, and more than a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Two days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Feng Yize and Chu Junming received a call from Ye Zhan, and the three of them arranged to meet for dinner in a private room at their restaurant that evening.

Ye Zhan announced significant news to Feng Yize and Chu Junming.

It left the two of them dumbfounded.

Chu Junming was the first to react, "Brother, why didn’t you mention this before? Was this a last-minute decision?"

This past year, Ye Zhan seemed very busy.

They rarely had time to gather together, and he was even more solitary, aloof, and sparing with words than before.

Ye Zhan picked up his wine glass with calm, cool eyes, lightly clinked it against the glasses of Chu Junming and Feng Yize, who were also raising theirs, and replied tranquilly, "Pretty much."

"Brother, you kept it really tight-lipped. Even Third Brother didn’t know you were going to G City. Luckily, you didn’t just call us once you got to G City."

Feng Yize downed the wine in his glass in one go and spoke sullenly.

A cold, faint smile appeared on Ye Zhan’s lips, "I only decided just now."

"..."

Feng Yize and Chu Junming exchanged glances; who would believe that?

"Brother, I toast to you."

Chu Junming poured himself another drink and raised his glass to speak.

They all knew why Ye Zhan wanted to go to G City.

It was for Momo.

They searched alongside him for as long as he did.

And they still didn’t know where Momo went.

Unable to find her, he thought of going to G City, her hometown, to wait for her.

Ye Zhan believed that no matter where Momo went, she would eventually come home.

"Alright."

Ye Zhan raised an eyebrow and clinked his glass with his.

Feng Yize also immediately refilled his glass and raised it, "Brother, I toast to you as well, now that you and Second Brother will both be in G City, we can’t gather as often as before."

As he spoke, a tinge of sadness crept into his words.

Ye Zhan saw the loneliness and reluctance in his eyes and patted him on the shoulder, "You can come find me anytime."

"Alright."

Suddenly, Feng Yize broke out into a smile, and his tone became excited.

After a pause, he solemnly apologized, "Brother, I’m sorry."

"..."

Ye Zhan’s hand holding the glass quietly tightened, his face calm and indifferent, "Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."
