Chapter 2498: Chapter 302

"Sister Momo is thinner than before."

Ye Zhan’s ears echoed with the words that Qin Qingqing said that day at the Qin Family’s house.

His heart felt like it was pierced by an unknown sharp object, spreading pain in all directions.

A year without seeing her, she was more than just a bit thinner.

He pursed his lips, stood up involuntarily, and walked outside.

Beside him, the voice of the airline company’s president was left behind.

"Sister Momo, we... Sister Momo, Ye Zhan is here."

Wen Qinghuan was holding Momo’s arm, intending to say "Let’s go."

But before she could finish, she saw Ye Zhan, who had left their sight just now, returning from that direction.

This time, he was not accompanied by anyone.

That handsome and tall figure carried a strong aura, taking steady steps towards them.

Momo’s heartbeat stopped for a moment at Qinghuan’s voice.

"Sister Momo, hand Zirui over to me."

Wen Ziyang reached out, taking Zirui.

Everyone knew Ye Zhan was coming for Momo.

If they hadn’t met, it would have been fine.

But encountering each other removed any reason to avoid him.

Momo turned her gaze following Qinghuan’s direction, across the crowd, and immediately saw that tall and handsome man.

Her clear eyes met his deep gaze, her heartbeat paused for two seconds, only to be disturbed again by the faint, familiar scent carried by the wind.

A year without seeing, she hadn’t expected to meet him at the airport.

During her days abroad, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran never mentioned Ye Zhan in front of her, and she never inquired about him, focusing solely on battling illness.

Later, she even lost the energy to fight illness, let alone think of him.

He remained so handsome, so dashing, the contours showcased by his expensive shirt were rugged and sensual, his legs in the suit pants long and his steps steady.

In her ears unexpectedly floated a man’s deep, teasing words, "Next time we meet, I’ll show you."

In a trance, Momo inhaled his familiar male scent carried by the wind.

A long-lost and gentle "Momo" pierced her eardrum, directly impacting her heart.

A sudden rush of warmth flooded her heart.

The one prepared for this encounter was him, not her.

It’s hard to avoid showing emotion.

But she wasn’t the naive girl who had just left the ivory tower, unfamiliar with concealing her emotions, quickly pressing those feelings down to the depths of her heart.

On her thin, tender face surfaced a gentle, elegant smile, "Ye Zhan, long time no see."

Ye Zhan looked at her intensely, without responding.

All those beside her had somehow retreated, leaving only her to face him alone.

In the air, a faintly subtle feeling spread.

It was as if the surrounding people didn’t exist.

In Ye Zhan’s eyes, there was only the slender and beautiful face of the girl reflected in his deep gaze.

The many days and nights of yearning at this moment flooded his nerves like a surging tide, he resisted again and again, using all restraint to avoid wrapping her in his embrace.

He knew he couldn’t rush.

No matter how well she hid her feelings, he could still trace them.

He told himself to be more patient; she had finally returned, and he couldn’t scare her away.

"My family is still waiting for me, I should go."

Momo waited a few seconds, but the man in front of her only looked at her intently without saying a word.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

They had parted ways over a year ago, no longer in a romantic relationship.

Moreover, she was the one who initiated the breakup; now seeing each other, she wondered why he was here, knowing it wasn’t by chance.

Did he come from the Imperial City?

With their current relationship, asking too much wasn’t appropriate.

Someone once said that lovers who break up can’t be friends or complete strangers; they’re only suited to greet each other, ask how they are, and then pass by.

"I’ll see you off."

"No need, you keep busy."

Momo shook her head with a smile.

Ye Zhan pursed his lips, the corners forming a gentle arc, as if since he appeared in her sight, his gaze, voice, and aura were all warm.

"Alright!"

He didn’t insist.

The tall, slender figure truly stood in place, his gaze warmly watching as Momo turned and left.

Her silhouette remained etched in his warm, deep eyes; he watched her intently and tenderly, as if doing the most important thing in life.

Even without turning, Momo felt his following gaze, not heated, yet impossible to ignore.

——

"Momo, what did Ye Zhan say to you?"

In the extended, luxurious business car, everyone knew Mo Ziye still resented Ye Zhan for Momo getting hurt.

Getting into the car, no one dared gossip about what Momo and Ye Zhan said.

Once Gu Zhitong leaned in and softly asked Momo, ears immediately perked up.

Momo shook her head, "Didn’t say much, just greeted."

Until she was out of the car, entering the villa, Gu Zhitong asked Momo again, "Momo, do you know Ye Zhan has been in G City for months?"

Momo paused in her steps.

Turning her gaze, her bewildered eyes looked at Gu Zhitong.

Unable to understand her meaning.

Seeing her expression, Gu Zhitong realized she didn’t know about Ye Zhan.

Reflecting briefly, she concisely explained, "Ye Zhan is now with us in G City, he arrived when your uncle and aunt had just gone abroad."

Momo blinked and thought back, finally recalling her parents accompanying her seemed to want to say something twice but held back.

"I want to be with you." Those words he said to her in the countryside villa unexpectedly resurfaced in her mind.

Momo lowered her gaze, lightly pursing her lips.

He had done what he said.

"Auntie, auntie."

From afar, Zirui’s youthful voice interrupted Momo’s thoughts; she smiled, quickly stepping over to lift Zirui, who insisted on finding her on his own.

Gu Zinan laughed beside her, explaining, "This little guy came inside and couldn’t see you, insisted on coming out, Sister Momo, now that you’re back, we don’t appeal to him anymore."

"You say that, what if he falls?"

Momo playfully glared at Gu Zinan; meanwhile, the Zirui in her arms kicked his short legs to get down, chanting, "Auntie, down, down,"

Gu Zinan laughed proudly, "See, it’s his choice to come down; Zirui only learned to walk recently, yet he’s stable, I’ve barely seen him fall."

As he spoke, Zirui’s small hand reached over to tug at his white coat, stubbornly trying to pull it down, muttering "Ruirui, Ruirui."

Momo couldn’t help but laugh, "Is Zirui trying to take your job?"
