Chapter 2520: Chapter 324
An unconscious hint of warmth rose in Momo’s eyes, and a gentle softness colored her delicate brows. Even though she couldn’t see Ye Zhan right now, just hearing his voice seemed enough to make her heart light up.
"I just finished. Are you spying on me or something?"
Ye Zhan’s low chuckle sounded in her ear. "Compared to spying on you, I’d much rather tie you to my side and watch you twenty-four hours a day."
"I’m afraid you’d be sick of me in a few days if you did that."
"How about you try it."
"No."
Momo laughed lightly as she turned him down.
After a moment, Ye Zhan’s laughter faded, his voice coming through warm and gentle. "Momo, I have to go back to the Imperial City for a bit. I’ll be back tomorrow."
"Okay, go take care of your stuff."
"You sound like you really want me gone. Don’t you miss me at all?" Hearing Momo so happily telling him to leave, Ye Zhan’s mood darkened.
Momo blinked, sounding all innocent. "I’m supporting your work here. Isn’t it good if I don’t cling to you? Or do you actually want me stuck to you all day long, not letting you do anything or go anywhere?"
"Yeah."
"You’re sick. That needs treatment."
Momo let out two laughs, but still couldn’t help asking with concern, "Is it about work, or something personal? I heard Grandpa Ye still hasn’t woken up yet..."
"It’s work. Momo, do you want to come back with me?"
As the words left his mouth, even Ye Zhan was surprised at what he’d just said.
"No."
"It’s a night flight, no one will see us." Ye Zhan tried to convince Momo to go back to the Imperial City with him. It wasn’t to bring her back to hang out with Chu Junming and Feng Yize, but simply because he didn’t want to be apart from her, wanted to have her by his side every single second.
Momo’s heart wavered a little.
Her love for Ye Zhan was no less than his for her.
Although reason told her she should reject him, she couldn’t hold back the deep-down longing to be with him. "I have to work tomorrow, I’m not going."
"Then have dinner with me. You’re not allowed to turn me down again."
"Fine, I’ll treat you to dinner." Momo completely forgot that Huo Song had said he’d treat her to dinner.
It wasn’t until she ran into Huo Song in the lobby and he asked what she wanted to eat that she suddenly remembered.
Forcing a somewhat awkward smile, Momo apologized. "Senior, I’ll treat you to a meal another day to make it up to you. I’ve got something on tonight, can’t go."
Huo Song saw the apology in her eyes. "You already made other plans?"
Before she could answer, Huo Song said cheerfully, "Then another day. I’ll just go home and eat instant noodles tonight."
Momo had originally only planned to have dinner with Ye Zhan; who knew that after they ate, he’d ask her to take him to the airport.
"You can just..."
Momo didn’t finish her sentence before Ye Zhan kissed her.
"Momo, come with me, yeah?"
If her phone hadn’t started ringing at that perfectly wrong moment, snapping her back to her senses, she might really have been bewitched into saying yes.
"Next time Ziyi takes a swing at you, don’t just stand there like an idiot and get hit."
She switched the topic, her gaze falling on the bruise that was still dark at the corner of Ye Zhan’s mouth.
Ye Zhan nodded. "Okay. Next time he takes a swing, I won’t hold back."
"Yeah, he probably can’t beat you anyway."
Momo looked at him with a smile. Ziyi was good at fighting, but Ye Zhan had come out of the army; he definitely wasn’t any worse.
So she felt if they really went at it, Ye Zhan would have the upper hand. "But you can’t hurt him either."
"Then I’ll just keep taking the hits."
Momo: "..."
——
G City.
After her shower, Momo lay on her stomach on the bed and chatted for a while.
Gu Zhitong dropped some gossip in the group: today a female patient had tried to throw herself at Gu Zinan. Everyone’s gossip antennae shot up, and they all crowded in to ask for details.
Gu Zinan then popped into the group, bragging shamelessly about himself—how explosively handsome he was, that things like this were just everyday sesame-seed trivialities and nobody needed to be surprised.
So everyone took turns teasing Gu Zinan, one line after another.
A knock sounded from outside. Wen Ran walked in carrying a bowl of Chinese medicine. Momo put down her phone, hopped off the bed, and went to meet her.
"Mom, didn’t I say I’d go downstairs and drink it in a bit? Why’d you bring it up again?"
Wen Ran smiled. "If I bring it up, you can drink it and go straight to sleep. Isn’t it better not to have to go downstairs again?"
"It is, but you’re going to spoil me rotten like this."
Momo took the medicine. The thick herbal smell hit her nose and she couldn’t help but wrinkle her brow.
A trace of heartache flashed through Wen Ran’s eyes as she joked, "If anyone could spoil you rotten, your dad would’ve done it long ago. He’s wishing he could spoil you so much you’d never get married and just stay at home with us forever."
"My dad’s wish is going to come true."
"I don’t know about that. I heard Ye Zhan came over this afternoon and got beaten up by Ziyi. I don’t know how serious it was."
A faint worry showed on Wen Ran’s face. "Momo, give him a call later and explain. Ziyi’s temper isn’t good. Your dad and I already talked to him. You tell Ye Zhan next time not to just stand there and take it."
Momo’s eyes flickered. She dodged the topic. "Mom, is today’s medicine more bitter than usual?"
"Is it?"
"Mm. Mom, go to bed first. I’ll take the bowl down myself after I finish."
Wen Ran affectionately patted Momo’s head and said gently, "Momo, your dad and I only want you to be happy. If you really don’t want to be with Ye Zhan, then let your dad pick out some promising young men for you..."
"Mom, you’re not seriously going to do that, are you?"
Momo pouted, looking at Wen Ran pitifully.
Wen Ran only smiled without saying anything.
