Chapter 2345: Chapter 149: I Hope He Gets Caught
In front of the car, Huo Song lightly pursed his lips as he watched Momo walk to another car. Yuanshan had returned to the car before her to open the door, and she bent down to sit inside.
He quietly took a breath, closed the car door, and circled around the front of the car to sit in the driver’s seat.
The two cars drove away one after the other.
Through the lenses, Momo saw Ye Zhan turn and enter the villa, his olive-green silhouette upright like a pine tree.
Inside the villa, Mo Ziye and Qingqing had also just come downstairs.
Hearing from Auntie that Momo left without eating breakfast, he was about to call her, when he saw Ye Zhan walk in.
Mo Ziye’s narrow eyes flashed with slight surprise, watching Ye Zhan stride over. He raised an eyebrow and asked casually, "Why so early? Did you run into my sister at the door?"
"I did."
After answering, Ye Zhan had already stepped to the front of the sofa with his long legs.
"Ye Zhan, have you had breakfast? We’re about to have breakfast; if you haven’t, join us."
"Not yet."
Ye Zhan was not at all courteous.
Qingqing instructed Auntie, and the three of them walked into the dining room together.
Mo Ziye asked Ye Zhan, "Haven’t caught Shi Dongliang yet?"
"No, he’s still in the Imperial City, hasn’t crossed the border."
"You’re so sure?"
Mo Ziye’s lips curved into a half-smile.
Ye Zhan raised an eyebrow, countering, "Do you hope he escapes the border?"
Entering the dining room, Mo Ziye pulled out a chair for Qingqing, then slowly answered Ye Zhan’s question, "I hope he gets caught, Officer Ye, can you do it?"
This was already a provocation.
Ye Zhan chuckled indifferently, pulled out a chair and sat down, crossing his legs casually, "If Young Master Yi can help, I’d be very grateful."
"The Imperial City is your territory."
"Let’s have breakfast first, then you can discuss,"
Qingqing interjected with a smile, feeling that the conversation between the two men seemed unfriendly.
Speaking of which, from the very beginning, Brother Ziyi seemed to dislike Ye Zhan.
Even now, after so long, he still doesn’t like Ye Zhan.
"Alright."
Mo Ziye seemingly changed his face, instantly reverting to a graceful and good husband image, gentle like jade.
Ignoring Ye Zhan, he peeled an egg and placed it in Qingqing’s bowl.
Qingqing was also busy.
While Mo Ziye helped peel the egg, she helped by placing two crystal dumplings onto his plate.
"Qingqing, tomorrow you and Momo will return to G City together, I’ll go back in a couple of days."
As Mo Ziye spoke, Qingqing paused.
Turning her gaze, her fine brows furrowed, "Brother Ziyi, I don’t want to go back first."
"Be good, you go back first. If you stay here, I will be distracted."
After Shi Dongliang escaped, he targeted Mo Ziye as his first enemy once again.
The Haochen Group’s business in the Imperial City was affected, and Mo Ziye needed to stay here to handle things before returning.
Hearing him say so, Qingqing, who wanted to stay, hesitated.
She wanted to stay in the Imperial City to accompany him.
But he said that she would distract him.
Mo Ziye slightly curved his lips, reached out to affectionately touch Qingqing’s head, "I won’t stay here for long. With everything happening, all the elders at home must be worried; you go back and calm them down."
He referred to her grandparents and her uncles and aunts.
Especially her grandparents, the Qin Family is their home.
Old Man Qin must be quite upset.
"Alright, I’ll go back with Sister Momo tomorrow."
Qingqing answered softly.
After breakfast, Qingqing received a call from Old Man Qin.
Ye Zhan and Mo Ziye went to the study.
An hour later, Ye Zhan left the villa.
At the door, he ran into Shi Xi.
Seeing him, Shi Xi’s eyes flickered with some surprise and uneasiness.
But she still greeted him first.
Ye Zhan nodded slightly, brushed past her, and drove off in a cloud of dust.
Mo Ziye walked out of the study, reached out to hold Qingqing’s hand waiting there, and said warmly, "Shi Xi is coming to see me later."
"Oh."
Qingqing blinked, not asking what Shi Xi wanted to see him about.
Mo Ziye lifted her hand and gently kissed it at his lips, his narrow eyes full of warmth and affection, "Let’s go downstairs."
"Should I avoid it?"
"Do you want to avoid it?"
Mo Ziye raised an eyebrow.
Qingqing shook her head, pretending to be unhappy and pouting, "I’m not stupid. Why would I want to avoid it when my husband is meeting another woman?"
"That’s good."
Mo Ziye chuckled softly, leading her downstairs.
Shi Xi was guided by the guards to come in.
Today’s her was different from her usual glamorous and radiant self, with exquisite makeup; instead, she hadn’t slept all night, and her dark circles were unprecedentedly heavy.
And her face showed signs of exhaustion.
Seeing Mo Ziye and Qingqing holding hands, a trace of pain crossed the depths of her eyes.
Pursing her lips tightly, she finally said, "Ziyi."
Mo Ziye’s sharp brows furrowed.
Because Shi Xi only greeted him, treating Qingqing as if she were invisible.
He turned his gaze to Qingqing, who seemed to understand that his sudden cold demeanor was because of her. She curved her lips into a gentle smile at him.
Silently telling him that she didn’t mind.
He didn’t need to be angry.
Mo Ziye still didn’t immediately respond to Shi Xi.
Even as she treated Qingqing as invisible, he treated her as air while showing gentleness and affection to Qingqing.
"Let’s sit over there first."
"Okay."
Qingqing nodded with a smile.
Her eyebrows and eyes were filled with warmth, which made Shi Xi, who had just entered from the cold outside, shiver.
Her face became even paler.
Suppressing all the unwillingness and jealousy in her heart, she reluctantly forced a smile, "Qingqing, I have some words I want to discuss with Ziyi alone. Could you give us some privacy?"
"No."
Qingqing answered briskly.
Ignoring Shi Xi’s subtly changing expression.
She raised an eyebrow and smiled softly, "If you have something to say, just say it in front of me. Brother Ziyi is my husband; he promised me before we got married that he wouldn’t interact with any other woman behind my back."
As Qingqing spoke, she turned her gaze, lifting her delicate face, her brows and eyes warm as she looked at Mo Ziye, "Brother Ziyi, is that right?"
"Yes."
Mo Ziye smiled warmly.
Then he said to Shi Xi lightly, "Whatever you have to say, just say it in front of Qingqing."
"Ziyi, can we still be friends?"
Shi Xi bit her lip a few times, hesitantly asking.
Facing Qingqing, she felt quite humiliated.
However, she still liked Mo Ziye deeply, very much so.
Even though he’s married, she couldn’t let go.
She didn’t know how she could be with him, but she knew that as long as she could be with him, she was willing to do anything, by any means.
Therefore, in her earlier anger, even though she thought Mo Ziye would naturally seek her out after Haochen was swallowed, she turned around upon hearing her uncle say they wanted to get rid of Mo Ziye and came to warn him.
She loved him so deeply, yet felt so conflicted!
Seeing Mo Ziye’s cool, indifferent expression between his handsome brows, she hurriedly added, "I don’t want you to repay me for anything, just want us to still be friends."
