Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2547: Chapter 351:

Momo, Gu Zhitong, and Bai Qingling all had dinner at the Wen Family’s house.

Qin Qingqing originally planned to have dinner there too, but before the meal, Mo Ziye came to pick her up.

At the dinner table, Wen Jin and Jing Xiaocha smiled and urged them to eat more, especially Qingling, who was left alone at home after her parents went on a trip.

Jing Xiaocha invited her to come over for meals more often.

"Aunt Xiaocha, how about I just move in with you?" Bai Qingling said playfully.

Jing Xiaocha happily agreed, "Sure, it’s settled then. You don’t need to go back tonight; I’ll tidy up a room for you after dinner. You can stay in the room next to Qinghuan’s, you two will get along well."

"Great, I’ll have company now."

Qinghuan was also happy.

Momo couldn’t help but dampen their excitement, "Aunt, Qingling might just be saying it casually, don’t take it too seriously."

"Qingling, you’re not just trying to make me happy, are you?"

Jing Xiaocha asked with a smile.

Bai Qingling nodded earnestly, "Of course not, with my parents gone, it’s just me at home, which isn’t fun at all. If Uncle Wen and Aunt Xiaocha don’t mind, I’ll stay at your place from now on."

"Why would we mind? We’d love to have you over. When Ah Feng and Xiaoxiao come back, they’ll regret it."

Wen Jin had a gentle smile on his lips, "You can stay here without worry. Later, Qinghuan will accompany you to pack a couple of outfits. Unless Ah Feng and Xiaoxiao return, you don’t have to go back either."

"Great, I’ll be sticking with Uncle Wen and Aunt Xiaocha from now on."

They hadn’t finished dinner when Momo received a call from Ye Zhan.

Ye Zhan said over the phone that he had a dinner engagement and would come to pick her up later.

"No need to come get me, I’ll go back myself later."

"Wait for me."

Ye Zhan spoke these three words and then hung up the phone.

Not long after, Ye Zhan arrived at the Wen Family’s house before nine o’clock.

Along with him came Tang Jinchen.

Gu Zhitong looked at Tang Jinchen, surprised, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"To pick you up."

The two exchanged greetings with Wen Jin and Jing Xiaocha, and after a few more words, they left with his fiancée from the Wen Family’s house.

Before leaving, Wen Qinghuan gave them their set of paintings and albums.

Momo originally did not want to take the group portrait painted by Qinghuan.

But Gu Zhitong and Bai Qingling reminded her, making Ye Zhan look at her in confusion.

She shot them each a look and had no choice but to take it.

Once in the car, Ye Zhan reached out for the painting roll in Momo’s hand. Momo was reluctant to hand it over, so he narrowed his eyes slightly and gently coaxed, "Momo, let me see it."

"This is for me."

"Tongtong and Qingling said it’s a painting of the two of us."

Ye Zhan corrected her.

Momo reluctantly handed over the painting roll.

Ye Zhan unrolled the painting, and upon seeing the couple kissing in the painting, he knowingly glanced at Momo and continued to look at it.

A moment later, Ye Zhan chuckled softly, "Don’t want me to see it because you’re shy?"

"Who said that?"

Momo refused to admit it.

Ye Zhan stopped teasing her, gracefully rolled the painting back up, and after starting the car, said to Momo, "Junming said when Qinghuan gave him a portrait, I guessed that Qinghuan would give one to everyone."

"Why do you think that?"

Momo turned to look at Ye Zhan with curious eyes.

Ye Zhan glanced at her, freeing one hand to touch her head. Momo didn’t dodge, letting him touch her before he grabbed the steering wheel again.

"You said that day Qinghuan had painted a portrait for Junming, which means Qinghuan had feelings for Junming."

"And then?"

A smile appeared on Momo’s face.

Ye Zhan smiled faintly, "Qinghuan is a smart girl. Junming’s rejection that day said it all. Yi Ze likes her. Even if Qinghuan isn’t sure, she might guess a bit from what others say."

Momo was slightly surprised by Ye Zhan’s analysis.

She grew up with Qinghuan, so it’s normal to understand her. But Ye Zhan was different; he hadn’t interacted much with Qinghuan.

"You’re right."

Momo’s voice was soft, tinged with a hint of sympathy for Qinghuan, "Qinghuan said that just because Yi Ze likes her, even if she had feelings for Junming, it wouldn’t work out. She didn’t want any discord between Junming and Yi Ze as brothers. To quash those thoughts, she gave Junming his portrait."

"..."

Ye Zhan’s eyes shifted but he said nothing.

Listening to Momo continue, "Qinghuan didn’t want Junming to misunderstand, so she painted a portrait for each of you three as well. She’s probably hurting inside, just not speaking of it."

"Is Yi Ze’s portrait still with Qinghuan?"

"Mm, Feng Yize found out about her painting portraits for you three, and asked Qinghuan to mail it to him. It got a bit late today, so Qinghuan will mail it tomorrow."

"No need to mail it."

"Huh? Why?"

Momo didn’t quite grasp what Ye Zhan meant.

Ye Zhan focused on the road ahead, a pleasant curve forming at the corner of his mouth, warmly saying, "Yi Ze is arriving in G City at ten tonight. He’s coming to collect his portrait."

"He..."

Momo’s clear eyes filled with surprise.

After a pause, she said, "Isn’t Feng Yize new at the company and not settled yet? Coming over in the middle of the night, will he return tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, he’ll fly back tomorrow morning."

"Do we need to pick him up at the airport?"

"No, Junming will pick him up."

"..."

Momo pursed her lips, falling silent as her emotions grew complex.

They all noticed Feng Yize’s affection for Qinghuan, but Qinghuan didn’t like him and felt nothing for him.

Her heart was set on Chu Junming, whom she couldn’t be with either.

Previously, when Momo felt sad for Ye Zhan, she understood that feeling. Thinking of Qinghuan swallowing her pain, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.

——

At the airport, Chu Junming waited outside the security check.

Seeing Feng Yize energetically walk out from the security area from afar, he happily called out, "Third Brother."

He smiled gently, appearing more refined and elegant compared to Feng Yize’s excitement.

"Flying here tonight and back tomorrow morning, aren’t you tired?"

Seated in the car, Chu Junming glanced at the spirited Feng Yize, softly asking.

Feng Yize looked at him like he was some kind of weirdo, "Flying twice and getting tired, I’m not made of tofu."

"Third Brother, I heard Qinghuan painted a portrait for each of you. Did you see the one she painted for me? Is it handsome?"

"You’re handsome even as a beggar; of course, you’d look handsome now." Chu Junming’s teasing sounded like praise to Feng Yize.

His eyebrows lifted high, his peach blossom eyes twinkling with laughter, "Of course, my handsomeness is obvious to all, Third Brother, let’s head to Qinghuan’s place first."

"Mm."

Chu Junming looked at Feng Yize’s vibrant face and calmly reminded, "Send Qinghuan a message telling her you’re on your way to her house. It’s not polite to wake her if she’s asleep."
