Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2507: Chapter 311: I’ll Wait for You

"..."

After a long while, the man sighed softly and said gently beside her ear, "Momo, I will wait for you."

Momo’s heart jolted.

Her gaze became complex as she looked at him.

His long fingers gently caressed her red lips, with an extremely gentle and doting voice whispering in her ear, "From the moment I decided to come to G City, I was prepared for a lifetime."

Suddenly, Momo felt like crying.

She didn’t know why; her nose just started feeling sour.

"Actually, I hate my grandfather and father’s actions even more than Ziyi."

He looked at her reddened eyes, and his heart ached.

"Momo, if I were your family, I wouldn’t agree for you to marry someone like that either. Even if I cut ties with them, it wouldn’t change the fact that you’re hurt. All I can do is come to your city."

Momo avoided his eyes, her blurry gaze shifting elsewhere.

Was it because her family disapproved?

Not entirely.

The more important reason was her own state, which left her without the courage to be with him.

"Momo, don’t cry."

When did she start crying? The warm, rough pad of his finger wiped away her tears, pulling her up and embracing her gently and tenderly.

But her tears fell even more urgently.

It was as if she was shedding all the tears from the past year.

"Momo."

"I won’t bully you like this anymore, please don’t cry, okay? If not, you can hit me, scold me... or I’ll let you bully me back; I promise I won’t move or resist."

Seeing Momo’s relentless tears, Ye Zhan felt both pained and anxious, releasing her and raising his hand to undo his shirt buttons.

"What else do you want to do?"

Momo’s voice carried a sobbing tone and a strong nasal sound.

Ye Zhan looked at her earnestly and replied seriously, "I’ll let you bully me back."

"..."

Momo’s tears miraculously stopped.

She looked at the man’s handsome and serious eyes in front of her, progressively lowering her gaze until it landed on his chest.

"Can you just stop being mad at me, please?"

"..."

Momo was speechless.

Seeing her not answer, Ye Zhan began to unbutton again.

Momo’s expression changed instantly as she furiously asked, "Do you show your body to women whenever you see them?"

"Of course not. I only show it to you."

Ye Zhan answered very seriously.

"I’m going home."

Momo wiped her tears and stood up, meeting the deep gaze of the man beside her, softly saying, "Ye Zhan, I’m not worthy of such treatment, and G City isn’t suitable for you. You should return to the Imperial City."

Ye Zhan’s tall figure froze.

The warmth between his brows was instantly replaced by coldness. He pressed his thin lips tightly together, listening to her say, "It’s already over between us. If you insist like this, I won’t see you again. Perhaps I’ll find someone and get married."

The final sentence, although softly spoken, even seemed a little unreal.

Yet the decisiveness in her words became a sharp blade stabbing directly at Ye Zhan.

His body trembled, his gaze darkened deeply.

"Alright, from now on, we’re just friends."

Ye Zhan’s eyes, as dark as a deep pool, fluctuated with emotions, and a moment later, a light, breezy smile curved his lips, as if he had truly let go.

Before Momo could take a step to leave, he again glanced at his arm and said, "I’ll take you home."

"I can go back on my own, just fry the pig liver later."

Momo pressed her lips together as Ye Zhan smoothly distanced their relationship, his tone entirely that of a regular friend’s.

And not of the woman he loved deeply.

"I don’t have the habit of cooking with my left hand. I’ll just leave the pig liver for now and eat it after my wound heals."

He continued to maintain a light smile on his lips, with his attitude returning to how it was when they first met.

He even made a gesture inviting her.

Although Momo wasn’t quite used to this side of him, she said nothing more, only speaking at the door, "No need to see me off; I’m taking Sister Tongtong’s car back."

"Alright."

Ye Zhan nodded, truly not seeing her off.

Momo’s gaze swept across his injured right arm as she turned to leave.

Behind her, Ye Zhan stood at the doorway like that, locking his deep and dark gaze on the woman’s departing figure. He pulled out his phone and dialed Tang Jinchen’s number.

"Ah Zhan, didn’t Momo make dinner for you? Why are you calling me now?"

"Help me take her home."

"Huh? You finally have a chance, and you’re sending Momo home?"

"She’s already headed to your place. Make sure she gets home safely."

Ye Zhan’s voice was clear and cold, and across the phone, Tang Jinchen was unaware of what had happened between Momo and Ye Zhan.

Frowning slightly, he readily agreed, "Alright, I’ll take Momo home."

Ye Zhan responded with a hum and hung up the phone.

On the way back, Momo remained silent throughout.

Since Tongtong wasn’t with them, Tang Jinchen saw Momo didn’t speak and didn’t say much either, just focusing on driving.

Momo slightly turned her body, gazing at the night view outside the window. Over more than a year, G City had undergone significant changes, and the passing sceneries seemed unfamiliar.

Her thoughts unconsciously drifted far away, the doctor’s words before she returned home echoing in her ears, "Your condition is not completely stable yet. This type of bacteria is the most overbearing in my experience, even insanely so. It’s a miracle that you’ve survived, but your bodily functions are damaged and will need at least five years to recover..."
