Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2368: Chapter 172: His Expression Stiffened as If Struck by Lightning!

Ye Zhan doesn’t usually log into WeChat much.

Sometimes he can go days without logging in, and when he does, he sees several messages.

Group messages accumulate to hundreds.

However, he doesn’t even open these messages; he directly taps into his moments feed.

As he scrolls down a bit, he sees the post that Momo has shared.

He can see the likes and comments from Feng Yize and Qingqing.

But Huo Song’s comment unexpectedly pops up before his eyes.

A strange irritation stirs in his heart, and he tosses the remaining half cigarette in his hand, then clicks like.

The moment his fingertip taps down, an indescribable emotion surges in his heart; seemingly warmth, excitement, and even a faint expectation.

Lightly pursing his thin lips, his gaze unconsciously softens towards the woman’s eyes in the photo.

Huo Song’s comment was right.

Momo’s smile is very beautiful.

Looking at it makes one feel warm inside.

In this world, aside from his mother’s smile when she was alive that made him feel warm and happy, no other woman’s smile has ever moved him.

[Big Bro, isn’t Miss Momo really beautiful?]

He doesn’t respond, but that doesn’t mean Feng Yize won’t.

Before liking the post, Ye Zhan either hadn’t considered this point,

or had deliberately ignored it subconsciously.

When Feng Yize popped out to ask him, he inexplicably replied with a [Yeah.]

Word.

Wanting to send it but hesitated for a second, he added another line, [Whatever you say is right.]

He doesn’t know whether Momo is watching the phone beyond the screen.

Feng Yize replied instantly: [Of course, I’m handsome!]

In G City, Momo is leaning against the headboard with her phone, tilting her head slightly to look at the moments feed.

She thought she could immediately let go after being rejected.

When Ye Zhan liked the post and replied to Feng Yize’s message, she realized her calm heart felt like it had been swept by a gust of wind.

Uncontrollably rippling with layers of waves.

She tightened her grip on the phone, staring at Ye Zhan’s two words, her heart’s waves slightly receding, replaced by a surge of sourness and sadness.

This was her first love, and before it even began, it was over.

Previously, Momo didn’t know what heartbreak felt like.

But experiencing it today, she understood how bitter it was.

The heart feels as if it’s being pricked by needles or pulled by someone, aching whenever remembered.

Even though it was just a budding affection and not deep love, she feels so miserable.

Gradually closing her eyes, she prevents herself from looking at Ye Zhan’s name, taking deep breaths while telling herself to remove him from her heart before getting deeper.

Suppressing her inner sorrow, she bites her lip tightly, taps on Ye Zhan’s name, and then the top right corner.

Delete friend!

Her fingertip lingers on these four words, unable to press down.

Tears unknowingly wet her eyes.

Annoyed by her indecision, wondering why she still holds onto someone who clearly doesn’t like her.

Not intending to keep secretly liking him.

She doesn’t want to become the kind of woman whose unrequited love yields no results, and if pursuing it further, would only hurt herself or make him annoyed by uncontrollable emotions.

Resolutely.

Momo deleted Ye Zhan.

Tossing the phone onto the small table, she slides into bed, pulling the quilt over her head as tears fall inside the blanket.

In the Imperial City, Ye Family.

Ye Zhan, having exited the moments feed, is handwriting each character in his conversation with Momo.

Having liked her post and interacted with Feng Yize, he feels it’s polite to exchange a few words with Momo.

So he edits a very ordinary and concerned question.

Clicks send.

Only to be faced with a message, “Momo has enabled friend verification, you are not her friend yet. Please send a friend request first…”

Ye Zhan’s expression freezes as if struck by lightning.

The feeling in his chest is as if someone punched him.

He stares at those two message prompts.

His feelings are unclear, only knowing there’s a suffocating heaviness.

Opens the moments again.

Scrolls down, no longer seeing Momo’s post.

The heaviness in his chest intensifies.

Putting the phone onto the coffee table, he lights up a cigarette.

——

Momo fell asleep under the quilt shortly after, sleeping all night until morning.

All troubles cast aside yesterday.

Upon waking in the morning, she picks up the phone to check WeChat again.

There’s a long new string of comments and likes.

Except there’s no new friend request.

Momo stares at the phone for a moment before getting up to wash.

——

During breakfast, Mo Xiuchen asks Momo if she plans to work at the TV station today.

Momo agrees to go.

He offers to drive her to work soon.

Momo watches Mo Xiuchen for two seconds, smilingly refusing, “Dad, if you drive me to work, wouldn’t people laugh that I haven’t grown up? I can go by myself; if you need company for work, let Mom go with you.”

“Your dad kindly offers to take you, but you turn it into mockery?”

Wen Ran playfully scolds.

Momo cheekily sticks out her tongue, “I’m just being honest. Dad surely prefers the latter option, right Dad?”

“Absolutely correct.”

Mo Xiuchen agrees generously.

Only to earn Wen Ran’s glare.

He laughs heartily, saying to Wen Ran, “Ranran, since Momo doesn’t appreciate it, don’t ask me to drive her to work anymore. Anyway, since you’re at home without plans today, accompany me to the office; there’s a client visiting today.”

“A woman?”

“Dad, aren’t you too old for women to fancy you?”

“Do you think your dad is really that old?”

Feeling insulted, Mo Xiuchen objects.

Momo quickly laughs and shakes her head, “No, no, I misspoke earlier, I meant who would have the audacity to hit on Dad?”

Mo Xiuchen glances at her, tenderly saying to Wen Ran, “Ranran, I’ll accompany you shopping this afternoon.”

Since Mo Ziye went to the Imperial City, Mo Xiuchen has had to oversee the company daily.

These days, the time he spends with Wen Ran is pathetically little.

Although Wen Ran doesn’t complain, he feels guilty.

“Alright, I’ll accompany you to the company later, but you can’t leave early.” Married for decades, Wen Ran still can’t resist Mo Xiuchen’s requests.

Especially when he gazes at her with that gentle, hopeful look, softening her heart completely.

After breakfast, Mo Xiuchen drives Wen Ran to the office, inadvertently forgetting about his daughter, Momo.

Without even suggesting a lift along the way, he drives off.

Momo is taken to the TV station by Qing Feng; as she gets out of the car, seeing Mo Xin waiting there, her expression subtly changes.

She had waited outside the home last night, and now in the morning, she’s here at the TV station.

A trace of wariness shows in Momo’s eyes as she furrows her brows, planning to ignore Mo Xin and head straight into the TV station.

However, Mo Xin steps over, blocking her path.

Hesitating a bit, she speaks uneasily, “Momo, could you do me a favor?”

Upon hearing this, Momo narrows her clear eyes, indifferently retorting, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t ask for anything difficult from me?”

Mo Xin turns embarrassed but says anyway, “No misunderstanding, I’m not asking for any challenging task. I just want to know if you have Ye Zhan’s number or contact information?”
