Chapter 2348: Chapter 152: A Subtle and Ambiguous Feeling Silently Grows and Spreads
"Young Master Zhan, then I will tell the old chief right now, he will definitely be very happy."
Ye Zhan has always been the pride of Old Master Ye.
But because of his mother’s death, he has distanced himself from Old Master Ye and Ye Zhangming these past few years.
Now, the old man wants to use Momo to repair their relationship.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhan walked a few more steps forward and instructed his waiting subordinate, "Continue to monitor the airport closely, and inform me at the first sign of anything."
The subordinate saluted solemnly.
Reply "Yes."
Ye Zhan briskly walked to the parking spot, got into the car, and dialed Tang Jinchen’s number.
——
When Ye Zhan arrived at Yinhu, Momo and Old Master Ye had just finished three rounds of Gobang.
"If I had known Grandpa Ye was so good at Gobang, I shouldn’t have agreed to play with you."
Momo smiled and shook her head, hand on forehead.
Old Master Ye looked at her little face, which carried a hint of a bitter smile, and chuckled, "If you weren’t deliberately going easy, we should have tied. I’m at an age where it’s embarrassing for me to have a young girl let me win."
"I didn’t dare go easy on you; I had only one thought in my mind: hoping not to lose all three rounds too badly."
Old Master Ye didn’t believe Momo’s words.
But he didn’t continue the topic.
Because he saw Ye Zhan walking in, the smile in his eyes partly replaced by pride.
No matter the time, seeing Ye Zhan filled the old man with pride.
Especially when he wore his military uniform, it seemed to him like seeing his past achievements.
"Grandpa, are you finished?"
Ye Zhan approached the table, his tall and straight figure stopping beside Momo; his deep eyes scanned the chess game on the table, then looked warmly at Old Master Ye sitting there.
"Yes, finished. Mo Girl really is a charming young lady; you two chat, I’ll go stretch my limbs."
Having said that, Old Master Ye got up, accompanied by the old butler, and left the room.
Suddenly, only Ye Zhan and Momo were left in the room.
Because of Ye Zhan’s arrival, the air carried a hint of a clean and pleasant masculine scent.
As he got closer, the slight masculine aroma mingled with the air, subtly affecting Momo’s mood.
She tried to ignore it, but couldn’t help frowning.
She raised her eyes and met Ye Zhan’s dark, ink-like gaze; his eyes mirrored her delicate features clearly.
She didn’t realize he was watching her.
Her heartbeat uncontrollably paused.
She pursed her lips, about to explain why she was there.
Ye Zhan spoke first, "My grandpa didn’t trouble you, did he?"
Momo wondered if it was her imagination.
Ye Zhan’s voice was deep and magnetic as always.
Yet she felt his tone carried concern.
She blinked.
Her watery eyes faced his deep ones, reminiscent of a vast starry sea, warm and captivating.
"No, Grandpa Ye is very kind."
She said, standing up.
Beside her, as she rose, Ye Zhan instinctively reached to pull the chair away.
Momo didn’t expect this.
Without guard, as the chair was pulled away, she lost her balance...
In the next moment, a strong arm wrapped around her slender waist, the man’s firm strength palpable through layers of fabric.
The once impure air was suddenly replaced by warm masculine breath; deep in her pupils, the man’s worried handsome face was etched.
A hint of subtle and ambiguous feelings silently grew and spread, quickly forming a net that enveloped the two locked in close gaze.
Time seemed to stand still in that moment.
Aside from their breaths, the room was silent to the point of panic-inducing.
Momo stared for several seconds.
Finally, her mind returned, and a thin blush spread over her fair, soft cheeks, making her jade-like skin even more enticingly lovely.
Ye Zhan’s eyes deepened slightly.
Concerned, he asked before she struggled, "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine."
Momo shook her head.
Her voice, affected by her mood, was slightly uneven.
Even if Ye Zhan hadn’t reached to steady her, she wouldn’t have fallen.
She hadn’t completely lost her balance; just her legs weakened a little.
Ye Zhan’s thin lips pressed together, then he retracted his hand from her waist, casually putting them in his pockets, "I didn’t know my grandpa would find you."
Momo nonchalantly shook her head, "Just consider it helping out fully."
Ye Zhan’s eyes flickered slightly, gazing warmly at Momo, "You didn’t come to my home last night; Mo Ziye told my grandpa you were sick. My grandpa even wanted me to bring a doctor to see you. But there was so much going on last night I couldn’t get away."
So, he sent her a message this morning, asking about her condition.
Momo nodded in understanding.
She didn’t go to the Ye family last night, to avoid too much entanglement with them.
She didn’t expect Ziyi to tell such a story about her being sick.
Even less that Old Master Ye would find her because of a rumor.
A bright smile suddenly burst forth on her delicate features, "Grandpa Ye is too concerned about you, that’s why he found me because of those rumors. Ye Zhan, you asked me for help in this matter, so if Grandpa Ye blames you in the future, you’d better explain to him clearly."
"I won’t."
Ye Zhan’s deep voice was resolute.
Momo didn’t quite believe him, but simply said, "Anyway, I’m going back to G City tomorrow; the rest is up to you."
She meant he should manage it himself.
She wouldn’t keep deceiving endlessly.
Coming to meet Old Master Ye today, and allowing him to misunderstand their relationship without explanation.
She considered it paying back his past help, no longer owed any favor.
"What time is your flight tomorrow?"
Ye Zhan’s focus seemed off from what she said.
And he wasn’t worried whether Old Master Ye would be angry upon discovering his deception...
Momo raised an eyebrow, "Are you going to take me to the airport?"
"Yes, a full performance."
Ye Zhan’s lips curved slightly in answer.
A brief pause, then he warmly added, "This morning my people suspected seeing Shi Dongliang near the airport, but the person was too cunning. Not only did my people fail to catch him, but even the surveillance cameras didn’t capture him."
He looked at Momo’s slightly surprised face, "Currently, there’s no news of him having left the Imperial City; be careful until you leave."
"You’ve made me scared with that."
It’s uncertain whether Momo was truly afraid or pretending.
But to Ye Zhan, he smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow."
Though Shi Dongliang might not necessarily take revenge on Momo, Ye Zhan felt as long as Shi Dongliang wasn’t caught, he could retaliate at any time.
After all, because Shi Family’s explosion case involved other issues, ultimately becoming a wanted criminal.
Undoubtedly, he harbored extreme hatred towards Mo family and Qin Family.
