Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2536: Chapter 340

At noon, in a private room on the third floor of Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion.

After everyone clinked glasses, Wen Ziyang still wouldn’t give up and asked, "Cousin, cousin-in-law, when are you two going to have another match?"

"Got addicted to watching us?" Mo Ziye asked coolly in return.

Wen Ziyang chuckled. "Cousin, your fight was too awesome, we all haven’t had our fill yet."

"When you get married, I’ll have a match with you," Mo Ziye said unhurriedly, a foxy smile flashing in his eyes.

Wen Ziyang choked on his drink and started coughing hard. Gu Zinan, sitting beside him, couldn’t bear it and reached out to pat his back. "Poor kid, how scared are you? Cousin’s just teasing you, he’s not actually going to beat you into a pig’s head on your wedding night."

"Screw you, who are you calling a poor kid?"

Wen Ziyang angrily swatted Gu Zinan’s hand away.

Gu Zinan only smiled indifferently, withdrew his hand with elegance, and asked Ye Zhan, "Young Master Ye, when are you going to marry Sister Momo and bring her home?"

"Yeah, Young Master Ye, before you marry Momo, you definitely have to propose first, got it?"

"Young Master Ye, want me to come up with a romantic proposal for you? The price is negotiable."

Ye Zhan looked at this group of mercenary guys, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"What romantic proposal?" he asked Wen Qinghuan.

After seeing the drawing Qinghuan had just done, Ye Zhan felt she really had a strong artistic gift. Her drawing didn’t look like a drawing at all; it was like living people standing right in front of you.

Especially those moves between him and Mo Ziye—she actually drew a bunch of them, and even he thought they looked cool.

Qinghuan smiled slyly. "I’ll tell you in secret later. I promise your proposal will be a success."

"Yeah?"

Ye Zhan sounded a bit unconvinced.

Qinghuan immediately put away her smile and said seriously, "You don’t believe me? If it doesn’t work, I won’t take a cent."

"All right, then we’ll talk alone in a bit."

Hearing this, Momo looked up at Ye Zhan. Meeting her puzzled gaze, Ye Zhan gave her a reassuring smile, telling her not to worry.

"And if my idea does help you pull off a successful proposal?"

"Then you can name your price."

"Deal."

Qinghuan’s eyes sparkled, her tone full of delight.

She was going to win back today’s losses—no, win them back double.

Originally, Chu Junming had planned to stay in G City for a few more days, but before they even finished lunch, Feng Yize got a phone call. No one knew what happened, but his face turned terribly dark.

"Yize, what happened?"

Before Feng Yize could speak, the moment he hung up, Ye Zhan asked with concern, and everyone else looked at him too.

Feng Yize wanted to laugh it off, but the smile he forced out was very stiff. "My mom got bullied by them again. I have to head back first. Third Brother, I can’t keep you company anymore."

"I’ll go back with you."

Chu Junming stood up without even thinking.

He turned to Mo Ziye. "Young Master Yi, I’m going to head back for a bit. I’ll come by in a few days to go over the new project details."

"No problem for me."

Seeing Mo Ziye look over, Qingling immediately spoke up.

She was the project lead now. Mo Ziye had handed all the authority to her. If he could avoid getting involved, he absolutely would.

"Thank you, Miss Bai." Chu Junming smiled and then said to Feng Yize, "Yize, I’ll book the tickets first, you call Auntie."

"If needed, I can go back with you too." As soon as Tang Jinchen got the words out, Feng Yize rejected him. "No need, I can handle it myself. Third Brother, you don’t have to..."

"Cut the crap."

Chu Junming frowned and said in a low voice, "Big Brother and Second Brother are too busy with work to make the time. I’m different."

"Junming, you don’t have to go back. Momo and I will accompany Yize," Ye Zhan said calmly.

Beside him, Momo nodded lightly and said gently, "Right, Ye Zhan and I will go with Yize. It just so happens I need to make a trip to the Imperial City too."

"You all keep eating. Qinghuan, I’ll contact you later," Ye Zhan said to Qinghuan before leaving, not forgetting.

Qinghuan nodded to show she got it.

Seeing that Feng Yize’s usual joking, carefree look was gone and he seemed really down, Qinghuan pressed her lips together and, when he came to say goodbye, still said softly, "If there’s anything we can help with, don’t be polite."

She actually had no idea what he meant by "my mom got bullied by them."

Nor did she know whether there was anything she could really help with.

She just felt that since he was a sworn brother of Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen, and they were all in the same group chat, they counted as friends no matter what.

If a friend is in trouble, you help if you can.

Qinghuan probably didn’t realize that this one line of concern was a deep warmth to Feng Yize. Some light and warmth returned to his gloomy eyes. "Thank you, Qinghuan."

While Chu Junming and Tang Jinchen took Feng Yize back to the hotel to pack his luggage, Ye Zhan and Momo went home to grab their documents and clothes.

On the way back, Ye Zhan finished arranging his work and then briefly told Momo about Feng Yize’s family situation.

Turned out, his father didn’t love his mother. Their marriage was a business alliance.

Before his father married his mother, he already had a woman he liked, and he even had a child with her.

Feng Yize’s mother only found out later. She couldn’t stand her husband’s betrayal, so she divorced him.

When he was ten, something happened to his grandfather’s family. For the sake of his future, his mother sent him back to the Feng Family.

From then on, Feng Yize became an awkward existence in the Feng Family...

"So that’s Yize’s background. He’s always so playful and jokey, I never saw through it."

After hearing Ye Zhan’s explanation, Momo felt vaguely uncomfortable inside.

Ye Zhan sensed her emotional shift, a layer of warmth rising in his heart. He reached over and wrapped his large hand around her soft, boneless little hand, his low, warm voice spilling from his thin lips. "Yize looks like a total slacker on the surface, but that’s just a mask. He’s not happy in the Feng Family. The first time I met him, those kids were bullying him."

"..."

Momo didn’t say anything. She just pressed her lips together slightly and listened.

"Because his grades were good..."

"How could they be like that? That’s way too much."

The more Momo listened, the angrier she got, and she suddenly felt that Feng Yize had it really rough.

Ye Zhan smiled faintly, his voice carrying more soothing warmth. "Don’t be mad. Yize’s come to terms with a lot of it over the years. We helped him investigate what happened with his grandfather back then—it was the Feng Family who framed him. He’s been waiting for a chance. When the time is right, he’ll take back what’s his."

So all these years, Feng Yize had been enduring in silence.

"Out there, they say he’s a frivolous playboy, doesn’t do anything serious. A lot of people even say the only reason he can be counted among the Four Young Masters of the Capital is because he’s got three outstanding sworn brothers and just got lucky with a few lifetimes’ worth of shit luck."

A mocking curve tugged at Ye Zhan’s lips. "They don’t get it. The truth is, meeting Yize was our blessing. The warmth he’s given us and everything he’s done for us far outweigh what we’ve done for him."
