Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2344: Chapter 148: Why Aren’t You Replying to My Message?

Tang Jinchen took a few puffs of his cigarette and then tossed it to the ground, extinguishing it with his foot.

A layer of winter night’s chill enveloped his brows. “I contacted him. Tang Zhixian has joined Kangning Hospital.”

“…”

Ye Zhan was a bit surprised but didn’t say anything further.

Tang Jinchen was originally supposed to carry out the mission, but a last-minute change directed someone else to go.

Now, he, along with Ye Zhan, was responsible for hunting down Shi Dongliang and secretly investigating Shi Dongping.

For the time being, he wouldn’t have time to visit Gu Zhitong in G City.

——

Momo slept early last night and felt extremely refreshed when she woke up in the morning.

When she went downstairs, Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing hadn’t yet woken up. Momo sat on the sofa reading today’s newspaper and only then learned that another major incident had happened with the Shi Family last night.

After coming home last night, she had eaten a little something, then went upstairs to wash and sleep.

She didn’t even glance at her phone.

Because she didn’t rest well the night before, she slept soundly until dawn. Momo didn’t know when Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing returned home.

The newspaper said the Qin Family bombing was orchestrated by Shi Dongliang.

The once mighty politician had suddenly become a fugitive…

Moreover, Shi Dongliang’s daughter, Shi Zhen, almost killed Shi Xi. Reporters captured photos of her and her mother being escorted away.

Her face was pale, looking incredulously at Ye Zhan, who stood beside her in military uniform, exuding a fierce aura.

Seeing this in the newspaper reminded Momo of the stories she had heard about Shi Zhen’s infatuation with Ye Zhan.

She even confronted her at her grandmother’s funeral, questioning her relationship with Ye Zhan.

Suddenly, a message came in on her phone.

She moved the newspaper to the side and reached for her phone on the coffee table.

It was a message from Ye Zhan.

She blinked, somewhat surprised.

Ye Zhan asked if she was feeling any better?

Momo stared at the words, unclear why Ye Zhan would ask such a question.

She was perfectly fine—just tired last night, not sick.

After pondering for a moment, she decided not to reply yet.

She wanted to wait for Ziye and Qingqing to come downstairs to ask them if they mentioned anything at the Ye Family as an excuse for her not visiting.

She glanced at the staircase, placed her phone back on the coffee table.

Just as she set it down, without even taking her hand away, the phone started ringing.

Seeing the caller ID, Momo pursed her lips and picked up the phone, “Hello, senior brother.”

“Junior sister, I’m outside your house.”

“You… why are you outside my house?”

Momo stood up, astonished.

She turned her gaze to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Over the phone, Huo Song’s laughter came through, his voice cheerful and bright, “I came to invite you to breakfast.”

“…”

“I know a nice breakfast place. I’m waiting outside to treat you so you’ll help me later today.”

“Alright, give me a few minutes.”

Ten minutes later, Momo walked out of the villa and immediately saw Huo Song waiting outside.

He smiled as he watched her approach, his gentle eyes scanning her, “Junior sister, you look beautiful today.”

“Was I ugly before?”

“Haha, not ugly before. Just appeared a bit tired when I saw you yesterday.”

“With dark circles too,”

Momo playfully added, raising her eyebrows.

Huo Song chuckled, opening the car door for her.

Momo was about to bend down and get in when she inadvertently caught sight of a familiar Range Rover approaching in the distance.

Her eyes flickered slightly.

Her motion paused mid-bend.

Huo Song followed her gaze.

His expression shifted a bit when he saw the approaching Range Rover.

As the leader among the four noble sons of the Imperial City, whether it was family background or capabilities, Ye Zhan was someone others envied, yet he was very low-key in daily life.

Like this Range Rover,

it wasn’t as luxurious as the cars of Feng Yize or Chu Junming.

However, its license plate was quite showy.

In no time, the Range Rover arrived in front.

Came to a slow stop in front of Huo Song’s car.

Just a meter apart.

Ye Zhan stepped out from the open car door, the military boots he wore amplifying his formidable aura, followed by his military uniform that added a righteous, commanding presence to him.

Huo Song discreetly tightened his grip on the car door handle.

Facing Ye Zhan, he felt a lot of pressure.

“Why didn’t you reply to my message?”

Ye Zhan walked over to Huo Song and Momo, his indifferent gaze sweeping over Huo Song’s face, noting his subtle change in expression before fixing on Momo’s delicate features.

His voice carried a hint of pressure that made one’s heart tighten.

Momo felt a slight, imperceptible tension in her heart.

Lifting her eyes, she instinctively replied when meeting Ye Zhan’s deep gaze, “I didn’t see the message.”

Ye Zhan’s eyes grew even deeper as he looked at her.

The atmosphere seemed to grow still.

Huo Song wanted to say something.

But seeing their exchange, the words got stuck in his throat.

Ye Zhan wasn’t angry, only gazing intensely at Momo, “If you’re ill, you should be resting at home.”

“I… I’m fine now.”

Momo hesitantly replied.

She thought to herself that Ziye must have said something indeed.

“Shi Dongliang is the mastermind behind the Qin Family bombing, but he escaped. Until we catch him, you shouldn’t wander around alone.”

What Ye Zhan meant was clear.

She shouldn’t run around carelessly or go out with others casually.

It’s not safe.

Hearing this, a faint, gentle smile emerged on Momo’s face, and there was a hint of lightness in her voice, “With Yuanshan and Yuanfei with me, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

“When are you going back to G City?”

“Tomorrow,”

Momo thought for a moment before answering.

“Do you have work today?”

He asked this while glancing at Huo Song.

Huo Song nodded, stating he still had matters that needed Momo’s help today.

Ye Zhan gave Momo another look, slightly pressing his thin lips, and asked blandly, “Is Mo Ziye at home?”

“Yes.”

He turned to look a few steps away at Yuanshan and Yuanfei, who were still standing in front of the car.

They waited for Momo to get into Huo Song’s car before following her to the TV station.

Seeing Ye Zhan glance their way, Yuanshan and Yuanfei approached to greet him politely.

Ye Zhan said indifferently, “Make sure to protect Momo well. Shi Dongliang hasn’t left the Imperial City. Don’t let your guard down.”

“Understood, Young Master Zhan.”

Ye Zhan nodded.

He saw Momo still standing in front of Huo Song’s car.

Huo Song also awaited her to get in.

They seemed to be waiting just for him to leave.

A sudden trace of coldness gathered in his dark eyes, as if a winter chill swept in, and he asked coolly, “Need me to take you to the TV station? Or will Yuanshan and Yuanfei take you?”

“No need, you can go find Ziye.”

Momo almost reflexively refused Ye Zhan.

Seeing Ye Zhan’s face suddenly darken, she felt a cold wave sweep over her heart, instinctively adding, “I’ll just let Yuanshan and Yuanfei send me.”

Ye Zhan didn’t reply.

He just kept looking at her.

Momo couldn’t bear his compelling aura and intense gaze, pondering that perhaps he was worried about her taking Huo Song’s car in case of unforeseen events.

And now with Shi Dongliang as a fugitive, he could be hiding anywhere…

She didn’t dwell on it further and said a word to Huo Song, then turned and walked over to the other car.
