Chapter 2326: Chapter 130: Do You Like Momo
Everyone in the private room couldn’t help but laugh.
Feng Yize looked at Ye Zhan with a face full of grievance, “Big brother, how could you do this? Letting me pay the bill and go home to sleep, I’m not an idiot who spends money but doesn’t even know what I ate.”
Ye Zhan snorted, “If you want to eat, just keep your mouth shut.”
“But I don’t want to sit next to you; I want to sit next to Sister Momo.”
Feng Yize leaned forward as he spoke, looking towards Momo, then flashed a charming signature smile, “Sister Momo, swap seats with my big brother, I have something to tell you.”
Momo raised an eyebrow and asked with a smiling face, “Do you want to ask about the handsome beggar?”
“Hahaha!”
Chu Junming laughed, “Yize, if you ask me, you should just focus on eating hot pot, your brain isn’t enough to use, why seek to be abused?”
“You’re the one who doesn’t have enough brains.”
Feng Yize couldn’t gain any advantage over Ye Zhan and got teased by Momo.
He was feeling depressed.
Seeing everyone smiling, he couldn’t help but snort, then picked a piece of meat from the pot and stuffed it into his mouth.
The next second, he was scalded and let out a muffled groan.
Tang Jinchen saw Feng Yize get burned, laughed twice, and put some food on Gu Zhitong’s plate in front of her, gently reminding, “Tongtong, be careful not to get burned.”
Gu Zhitong nodded with a smile.
“Second brother, you’re bullying me too.”
Feng Yize protested, dissatisfied.
Tang Jinchen laughed, “It’s your own fault, who is bullying you?”
“You’re all bullying me.”
Feng Yize said this and then glanced at Ye Zhan, seeing him putting the tripe he had just scalded into Momo’s plate.
The words he wanted to say were swallowed back.
“Try the taste of this place.”
“I’ll do it myself.”
Momo said with a smile.
Ye Zhan’s lips slightly curled, remained silent, and just placed two more pieces of food into her plate.
He raised his eyes and said to Chu Junming, “Junming, look after Qingqing.”
“I won’t stand on ceremony with you guys.” Qin Qingqing mumbled with food still in her mouth, making her words unclear.
“Momo, will Shi Zhen really apologize to you in the newspaper tomorrow?” Gu Zhitong asked Momo after swallowing her food.
Beside her, Tang Jinchen furrowed his brows slightly at these words, his expression thoughtful.
It wasn’t Momo who answered Gu Zhitong’s question.
But Ye Zhan.
He just picked up a piece of meat and brought it to his mouth.
Hearing Gu Zhitong’s words, he placed the meat in his plate, his actions elegant, exuding nobility, speaking with a voice that was three parts warm and cool, “If nothing changes tonight, Shi Zhen should apologize in the newspaper tomorrow morning.”
“Change? What do you mean?”
Gu Zhitong furrowed her beautiful brows and looked at Ye Zhan.
“Ye Zhan, you mean Shi Dongliang won’t easily let Shi Zhen apologize in the newspaper, and he might do something, is that right?”
Qin Qingqing held her chopsticks with a tightening grip.
Suddenly, both Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen’s phones rang simultaneously.
Hearing the ring, both of their expressions changed slightly.
Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen put down their chopsticks, took out their phones, glanced at them, and then looked at each other.
“Big brother, second brother, are you both leaving again?”
“At this time, is something wrong?”
Feng Yize and Chu Junming asked in succession.
Ye Zhan got up from his seat and went to the window to answer the call.
Tang Jinchen also got up to answer the phone.
Moments later, both returned to the table with serious expressions.
Ye Zhan instructed Chu Junming and Feng Yize, “Junming, Yize, make sure you safely take them home later.”
“Okay.”
Chu Junming nodded.
“Be careful; after what happened with the Shi family just now… don’t let anything else happen.”
“Understood, big brother, don’t worry, we’ll be cautious.”
Chu Junming put on a serious expression, a few notes of solemnity in his tone.
He understood the unspoken words in Ye Zhan’s hesitation.
While he was instructing Chu Junming, Tang Jinchen kept looking at Gu Zhitong.
Though he didn’t speak, all his reluctance and affection were hidden in his eyes.
After listening to Ye Zhan and Chu Junming, he said to Gu Zhitong, “Tongtong, I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow.”
Gu Zhitong shook her head, “Let’s discuss it tomorrow, I can go to the airport myself, or have Qingqing and Momo take me.”
Because Momo came to the Imperial City for work-related matters.
Mo Ziye was also unwilling to go back now.
So, Gu Zhitong had to return first tomorrow instead of waiting here for them.
“I’ll take you tomorrow.” Tang Jinchen pressed his lips together, his tone firm.
After Ye Zhan finished instructing Chu Junming, he greeted Qin Qingqing, Momo, and Gu Zhitong before he and Tang Jinchen donned their coats and walked out of the private room.
“Ah Zhan, do you like Momo?”
As they were walking downstairs, Tang Jinchen asked Ye Zhan gossipy.
And asked so directly.
“You’re overthinking it.” Ye Zhan rolled his eyes at him, hands in pockets, walking ahead.
Tang Jinchen had a look of doubt in his eyes.
Staring at Ye Zhan’s straight back, he wondered that if he didn’t like Momo, why didn’t he treat Momo with the same indifference and detachment as he did with other females.
All the way until he got in the car, Tang Jinchen, unwilling to give up, turned to stare at Ye Zhan, “Ah Zhan, I’ve known you for so many years, and I’ve never seen you be so gentle with any other female like you are with Momo.”
Ye Zhan started the engine, seemingly paying no attention to Tang Jinchen’s words.
Tang Jinchen, unable to get any answers, frowned slightly and said, “If you don’t like Momo, then what’s with Shi Zhen’s statement about you and Momo going in and out of hotels? Whether you like Momo or not, Shi Zhen has decided she has an ambiguous relationship with you.”
Ye Zhan let out a cold snort.
He said coldly, “It might have been when Momo came on a business trip last time, and I happened to see Chu Bin trying to harass her in the hotel lobby.”
“Chu Bin and Shi Zhen are cousins, right? You mean they were together at that time.”
“Probably.”
Ye Zhan mused.
“Then the change you mentioned just now, what does it mean? Could it be that Shi Dongliang wants to play tricks even while he’s dealing with a funeral?”
“Not necessarily.”
Ye Zhan frowned.
He suddenly looked up at Tang Jinchen.
“What?”
Picked up on the emotion in his eyes.
Tang Jinchen asked uneasily.
Ye Zhan calmly said, “Considering Shi Dongliang’s character, even if he publicly agreed to let Shi Zhen apologize, he wouldn’t do nothing from tonight until tomorrow.”
Upon thinking this, his brows furrowed again, “Jinchen, I’m uneasy having Junming and Yize take them back. Call Ah Cheng now, let them take a trip to pick them up.”
“Alright, I’ll call now.”
Tang Jinchen immediately took out his phone to make the call. In the driver’s seat, Ye Zhan added, “Jinchen, you get out too, I’ll go back myself. Take Gu Zhitong tomorrow and then return.”
