Chapter 2575 - 379
Chapter 2575: Chapter 379
Ye Zhan raised an eyebrow, looking calmly at Momo as she put down her chopsticks, pulled back her chair, and walked toward the door.
When Momo was just a few steps away from the restaurant door, Ye Zhan could no longer sit still. He got up, caught up to her, and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, speaking softly and with concern, "Momo, it’s dark outside, it’s not safe."
Momo found it amusing and rolled her eyes, "Whether it’s safe or not is none of your business."
"Of course, it’s my business. I should be the one to propose," Ye Zhan turned her around, his eyes smiling as he looked at her, "Let’s finish dinner first, then we’ll go get the marriage certificate."
"The office is already closed."
"No problem, we can ask them to work overtime."
"..."
Ye Zhan led Momo back to the dining table, sat her down in the chair, and explained, "I’ve used up my three-month vacation, so asking them to work some overtime is definitely doable. We’ll quietly get the certificate tonight."
"Is that okay?"
Momo’s lips twitched slightly.
She looked at Ye Zhan’s expression of displeasure from losing his vacation.
Couldn’t help but laugh again, "When are you going back to work?"
Ye Zhan sat back in his seat and continued putting food on her plate, "In two days, after we get the certificate, we’ll go on our honeymoon."
"Not going."
Momo shook her head.
"Momo, are you finding me annoying?"
Ye Zhan restrained his smile and asked with a face full of grievance.
Other women complain that their boyfriends or husbands don’t spend time with them, why is he the one getting pushed away by Momo?
"Why would you think that?"
Momo pursed her lips, picked up the dish in front of her and put it in Ye Zhan’s bowl. Seeing his aggrieved and lost look, she couldn’t help but soften her heart and said with a smile, "If even I find you annoying, how am I ever going to get married in this life?"
"Then why won’t you let me accompany you?"
Ye Zhan was indignant, wondering if Momo really didn’t like him.
"I don’t need you to accompany me because I’m here to accompany you. Haven’t I moved in with you and proposed to you?"
When Momo said this, she looked at Ye Zhan with admiration.
Seeing this, all of Ye Zhan’s grievance disappeared.
His mouth involuntarily curved upwards, and the handsome features were adorned with a touch of warmth due to his smile, looking increasingly noble and handsome, "Okay, since Momo said so, then I’ll go back to work in two days."
"If you want to rest, you can go back to work next week."
Momo ultimately felt sorry for Ye Zhan.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Zhan’s phone rang.
Ye Zhan took out his phone, saw the caller, and frowned slightly. He said to Momo, "Momo, go ahead and eat, I need to take this call."
"Okay."
Momo nodded gently.
Ye Zhan put down his chopsticks and answered the call.
Seeing him start talking, a hint of surprise flashed in Momo’s eyes; the caller was the President.
"I heard you returned to G City?"
The President’s voice carried a tone of humor and a bit of concern.
Despite the distance, Ye Zhan couldn’t see the President’s expression, but he could imagine it. He pursed his lips and said, somewhat gloomily, "Yes, I came back today and didn’t tell anyone. Your news travels fast."
"Haha... How’s Momo doing? You came back to G City, so is her health alright now?"
No matter what intentions people have.
Since there was concern about Momo, Ye Zhan maintained basic politeness, thanked the President for his concern, and briefly explained Momo’s situation.
In the restaurant, Momo saw Ye Zhan had gone outside to talk on the phone.
She also put down her chopsticks and picked up her phone to look at it, waiting for him to come back so they could eat together.
On the balcony, Ye Zhan rested one hand on the railing, listening with mild expression as the President spoke from the other end, "Ah Zhan, your and Momo’s identities are special, and the rumors about her drug use have been endless. Do you have any plans?"
Ye Zhan’s handsome face became a bit solemn, his voice cooled a bit, "No particularly good plans."
"Why don’t you and Momo come back to the Imperial City, and I’ll help you clarify things? Although Momo is a daughter, she is not inferior to any man..."
Ye Zhan’s heart was slightly stirred.
With the President’s involvement, that would be the best.
Before Momo returned, she said she wanted to clear things up and prevent misunderstandings about him.
But even if they held a press conference, their explanation might not be able to stop those rumors.
But the President is different.
"Alright, Momo and I will go back tomorrow."
If all the rumors online were just targeting himself, Ye Zhan wouldn’t care at all.
But they weren’t, those people were targeting his Momo.
"Good, I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up."
"No need, we’ll go back on our own." Ye Zhan wasn’t afraid of attracting too much attention.
He just didn’t want his time with Momo to be disrupted.
The President asked a few more caring questions, maintaining the focus on Momo, without discussing other matters, as if he really was just concerned about Momo.
Ye Zhan, however, knew well.
There’s certainly more to it than that.
But since the President didn’t say, neither did he ask.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhan returned to the restaurant, Momo put down her phone, picked up her chopsticks, and asked with a smile, "Finished?"
"Yes."
Ye Zhan pulled out his chair and sat down, glancing at the food on the table, frowning slightly, "The dishes are cold, I’ll go heat them up."
"They’re not too cold, let’s eat them like this."
Momo shook her head, stopping him.
He hadn’t been on the phone for long, and the dishes weren’t very cold yet, still warm.
Ye Zhan picked up some food from the plate and put it into his mouth, tasting it and finding it still warm. Only then did his slightly furrowed brows relax.
He reached over, picked up the bowl in front of Momo, and poured the food he had given her earlier into his own bowl.
"..."
"Your food was cold."
Ye Zhan said, again helping her with some hot dishes.
Watching his attentive care, Momo felt deeply moved, along with a strange sense of heartache.
"If you can eat it, I can too."
"I’m a man, it’s different." Ye Zhan’s expression, as if no matter how things were, he must pamper her, left Momo with no argument.
"Momo, we’re going to head back to the Imperial City tomorrow. The President wants to meet you."
"Meet me?"
Momo looked shocked, eyes wide. What did the President want to meet her for?
Ye Zhan reached over, holding her hand, and calmly reassured her, "Don’t be nervous, the President isn’t scary. He wants to help us clear up the online rumors that aren’t true. I think it’s best if he handles it."
"Since that’s the case, then there’s no problem."
Momo agreed readily, no one likes being insulted all the time, especially with all kinds of abuse.
Of course, most importantly, if the President clarifies, Ye Zhan won’t be misunderstood anymore, which is beneficial for him going back to work.
"Momo, I’ve already contacted the staff, they’re going to work some overtime when we go back. We’ll go get the marriage certificate shortly."
Ye Zhan wanted to get the certificate before taking Momo back to the Imperial City to meet the President.
Momo nodded with a smile, since it was she who suggested getting married, there’s no reason to back out just because Ye Zhan was eager to get the certificate tonight.
