Chapter 2508: Chapter 312
"Momo, did you and Ah Zhan have a fight?"
When Tang Jinchen stopped the car outside the Mo Family Villa, he couldn’t help but ask Momo.
Momo’s hand paused as she reached out to open the car door, her long eyelashes fluttering gently before she slowly lifted her slender and delicate face to meet Tang Jinchen’s concerned and probing gaze, her eyes calm as water.
This look made Tang Jinchen’s heart skip a beat.
He instinctively pursed his thin lips, and gently said, "Momo, if Ah Zhan did something to upset you, don’t take it to heart. He’s quite stubborn by nature..."
"Can you persuade him to go back to the Imperial City?"
Momo spoke softly, her brows and eyes calm and serene, as if there was no emotional turmoil due to Ye Zhan himself or Tang Jinchen mentioning him.
Tang Jinchen showed a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
In the dimly lit car, he looked sharply at Momo’s calm and composed brow, "Momo, I can’t convince him."
"..."
Momo pulled up a bittersweet smile, opened the car door, and was about to get out.
Tang Jinchen’s voice drifted into her ears, "Once Ah Zhan decides something, no one can change it. If anyone can get through to him, it’s only you."
The pain that had barely faded from Momo’s heart slowly spread again.
Tang Jinchen followed her out of the car.
He said warmly, "I’ll walk you inside."
"No need, you should go back. Sister Tongtong is still waiting for you at home."
Momo turned her gaze towards him, paused a meter away, and added, "If possible, get a nurse to take care of him for a few days."
"His arm won’t be ruined, this injury is minor for him, you don’t need to worry."
Tang Jinchen replied with a flash in his eyes, casually.
Hearing him say this, Momo lightly nodded and said, "I’ll head inside first. Drive safely on your way back."
Then she turned and entered the villa.
As she passed through the garden, she heard Tang Jinchen’s car driving away behind her.
In the living room, Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen, who were chatting, were first surprised to see Momo return, then stood up. Wen Ran smiled as she walked out of the sofa, "Momo, why did you come back at this time? Have you had dinner?"
Mo Xiuchen stood in front of the sofa, looking at Momo’s smiling face kindly and gently, holding Wen Ran’s arm as they walked over.
"Mom, I want to eat your noodles."
Momo spoke, then looked up with a bright smile at Mo Xiuchen standing in front of the sofa, "Dad, you wouldn’t mind, would you?"
"Why would I mind, you dislike my cooking, so only your mom can cook for you herself."
"Dad, you say that, now I feel guilty asking Mom to cook. Tonight I’ll eat Mom’s noodles, tomorrow you can cook me some fish."
"Alright."
Mo Xiuchen agreed readily, then said to Wen Ran, "Ranran, thank you for your trouble."
Wen Ran glanced at him, instructed Momo, and went into the kitchen to cook the noodles.
After she went in, Mo Xiuchen pointed to the sofa ahead, inviting Momo to sit down.
"Is Ye Zhan’s injury serious?"
Mo Xiuchen’s straightforward words still made Momo’s smile freeze for a moment.
No matter how well she could hide it, in front of her father, there were still traces to be found.
"It shouldn’t be very serious." Momo blinked, then said, "Dad, you should have asked my uncle earlier so you wouldn’t have to ask me again now. Why don’t I see Ziyi, Qingqing, and Zirui?"
She looked up towards upstairs.
Mo Xiuchen understood her thoughts and smiled as he explained, "Zirui went to Uncle Qin’s house in the evening, Qingqing and Ziyi just went to pick him up. Momo, your mom asked me before, if you can’t let go of Ye Zhan, want to be with him, should I agree or stop you?"
Momo’s expression slightly changed.
Thinking of something, she shook her head and said, "Dad, you don’t have to worry about this, I won’t be with Ye Zhan."
"Silly girl."
Mo Xiuchen sighed.
He raised his hand and patted Momo’s shoulder.
With a heartache reflected in his eyes, looking at his daughter’s delicate yet slightly pale face, Mo Xiuchen’s gentle voice sounded, "We were very angry at Ye Zhan’s father and grandfather sacrificing you to save him, Ziyi said the Ye family couldn’t bring you happiness, I agreed."
Momo pursed her lips, her clear eyes filled with deep guilt.
"I’ve never talked to you about this issue. Momo, but now I must talk to you. If you still love Ye Zhan, neither me, your mom nor Ziyi will really break you apart."
"Dad, I don’t love him anymore."
"You are my daughter, don’t I know what’s on your mind?"
Mo Xiuchen looked at Momo’s face, which was much like Ranran’s when she was young, with a frown.
She, like Ranran, is kind.
Back then, Ranran insisted on divorcing him because she found out she was sick and feared she would harm him.
Now, Momo doesn’t want to be with Ye Zhan because her past actions hurt the most loved ones, she fears that if she is with Ye Zhan again and encounters such situations, she will make the same choice as before.
"Dad, what can I be thinking?"
Momo smiled faintly, her attitude as if what she says is what she thinks.
Mo Xiuchen knew her heart knot couldn’t be untied at once, so he patted her shoulder again, picked up a piece of fruit, and handed it to her, "Eat some fruit to fill up."
——
When Tang Jinchen entered Ye Zhan’s living room, Ye Zhan was sitting on the sofa smoking.
The pungent tobacco made him frown, without hesitation, he snatched the remaining half cigarette from Ye Zhan’s fingers and extinguished it in the ashtray.
"Ah Zhan, are you planning to be companions with cigarettes?"
He frowned, looking angrily at Ye Zhan, "Don’t you know you’re a patient and shouldn’t smoke, or do you intend to give yourself up just because Momo doesn’t want you?"
Ye Zhan frowned, his gaze cold as he looked at the anger in Tang Jinchen’s eyes, a cool and thin smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he said nonchalantly, "Only a few cigarettes, don’t exaggerate."
Tang Jinchen sneered in anger, looking at his irritating expression, clenched his fists, "Tell me, what happened between you two? You’ve been waiting so long for her to come back, why did you annoy her away as soon as you met?"
Though over the past year he’s been in G City, Ye Zhan was in the Imperial City.
But this hasn’t stopped Tang Jinchen from knowing how Ye Zhan searched for Momo, from the beginning’s craziness, urgency, to later he didn’t know if he was disheartened or had calmed down.
When did it start?
He looked at Ye Zhan’s handsome yet indifferent face, recalled one night when Ye Zhan woke him up with a midnight call to ask Tongtong if Momo was still alive.
Confused and sleepy, Tang Jinchen was bewildered, while Ye Zhan was silent on the other end for a long time, his voice unable to hide his panic, "Jinchen, Shi Lin committed suicide, I’m afraid Momo will..."
He always worried, fearing Momo’s illness was incurable.
