Chapter 2559: Chapter 363

Outside the television station.

Ye Zhan’s Land Rover wasn’t particularly ostentatious, but he himself was too striking with his dazzling figure and handsome face among the crowd.

Momo couldn’t help but notice him.

Huo Song, who walked out with her, gave a faint look and urged her with a smile, "Junior sister, he’s here to pick you up, you’d better go quickly."

Momo smiled and waved at Huo Song, then descended the steps and walked towards Ye Zhan.

Ye Zhan didn’t come forward to greet her, but stood in front of the car, looking at Momo approach with smiling eyes.

He liked this feeling, watching her walk toward him, his heart gradually softening.

"Why did you come?"

"If I don’t come, I’m afraid another man might steal you away."

Ye Zhan reached out to stroke a strand of hair by Momo’s ear and opened the passenger door for her.

Momo chuckled, bent down and got into the car, watching him sit in the driver’s seat and lean over to fasten her seatbelt.

The man’s scent, mixed with a hint of tobacco, wafted into her nostrils, making her frown slightly, "You’ve been smoking again."

"Just a few puffs. If you dislike it, I’ll quit smoking in the future," Ye Zhan said, fastening the seatbelt before stealing a kiss on her cheek.

Momo raised a hand to wipe her face, but Ye Zhan grabbed it. She laughed lightly, "Let go of my hand, you’re getting saliva all over my face."

"Momo, you’re starting to complain about me now."

"Stop fooling around, mind your image," Momo withdrew her hand from his grasp and eventually wiped the place he had just kissed.

Ye Zhan started the car and said to Momo, "We’re going home for dinner."

"Aren’t you tired, coming home after work and cooking?"

"We’re going to my parents’ place, I’m not cooking," Ye Zhan raised his handsome brows and smiled smugly.

"That’s my home."

Momo understood, and corrected his mistake with a stern little face.

Ye Zhan reached out to touch her head, but she didn’t dodge for fear of affecting his driving. He petted her like a pet before pulling back to hold the steering wheel.

In a gentle manner, he said, "Momo, my father and the old master are coming to G City this weekend."

"Did you invite them?"

"Yes."

Ye Zhan’s expression stiffened slightly; the strained relationship with them had been ongoing for too many years to resolve quickly.

Momo looked at his cold, hard facial lines, her heart tightened, but she smiled and said, "Tomorrow I’ll go with you to pick them up."

"Okay."

Ye Zhan nodded.

Because Ye Zhan was having dinner at their place, Mo Ziye returned home that afternoon.

Mo Xiuchen personally cooked, Wen Ran accompanied him while they cooked lunch together, creating a warm, pleasant atmosphere.

Ye Zhan informed Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran that Ye Zhangming and Old Master Ye were coming to G City that weekend, and Mo Xiuchen said he had already received a call from Old Master Ye and knew about it.

Imperial City

In the private dining room, Chu Junming entered the room where Feng Yize had already ordered the dishes.

"Third brother, let’s eat and chat."

Feng Yize had the same charming smile on his face as usual.

Chu Junming observed his expression, no longer embarrassed like when they returned to Imperial City together the other day, and he felt slightly relieved.

"No social engagements tonight?"

"If I had social engagements, would I be sitting here waiting to have dinner with you?" Feng Yize raised an eyebrow, reaching for the wine nearby to open it.

Chu Junming frowned, "You want to drink?"

"Don’t you want to drink?"

"No."

Chu Junming shook his head. He wasn’t fond of drinking, unless it was during social functions; usually, he wouldn’t drink.

Feng Yize went ahead and opened the bottle, pouring himself a glass, "If you’re not drinking, I’ll drink alone. Later you can drive me home."

With those words, he downed a glass of wine, then looked up at Chu Junming again, seemingly with a subtle change in his gaze from earlier.

"Third brother, I have a very serious question for you."

Chu Junming felt both amused and exasperated.

Clearly, this guy was drinking to muster courage.

He leaned over to take away his glass and the remaining half-bottle of wine, placing it in front of himself. Sitting down, he said seriously, "I know what you’re going to ask. You don’t need liquid courage."

Feng Yize’s handsome face showed some displeasure, "I’m not drinking for courage. One glass won’t get me drunk. Third brother, just tell me honestly, do you like Qinghuan?"

"I don’t like her."

"Are you telling the truth, or are you lying? Third brother, I know from the start you knew I liked Qinghuan, so I want to hear the truth... Qinghuan likes you now, don’t avoid her because I like her. She’s a very good girl. If you have feelings for her or if getting to know her will make you like her..."

"Feng Yize, what nonsense are you talking about."

Chu Junming couldn’t listen to Feng Yize’s nonsense any longer.

With a stern face, he seriously said, "You sit properly and listen carefully!"

Feng Yize, although unhappy, straightened up, looking sulkily at Chu Junming who was taking on a brotherly role.

Chu Junming lost his appetite.

He looked at Feng Yize, thinking about his awkward attitude from that day, and his handsome face turned even more stern.

"Yi Ze, I don’t know how much of my conversation with Wen Qinghuan you heard, but I’ll clear this up once and for all today: I don’t like Wen Qinghuan, and even if you weren’t in the picture, I wouldn’t like her."

"What’s wrong with her?"

Feng Yize’s dissatisfied words drew Chu Junming’s sharp gaze.

He quickly closed his mouth.

Chu Junming continued, "It’s not about her being good or not, I just don’t like her. Don’t be stubborn about this. If you like Qinghuan, pursue her wholeheartedly; if not, let it go. Don’t play the good guy and try to set us up."

"Third brother."

Seeing Chu Junming finish speaking and get ready to leave, Feng Yize suddenly panicked.

He got up too quickly, hitting his leg against the chair corner and grimacing in pain, "Third brother, I’m sorry."

Admitting one’s mistakes means being a good kid.

Although Chu Junming, Feng Yize, Ye Zhan, and Tang Jinchen were not biological brothers.

Ever since they became sworn brothers, they’ve never had a real argument. Sometimes disagreements arise over certain matters, leading to debates.

This was the first time Chu Junming was genuinely angry.

Yet Feng Yize’s aggrieved apology immediately softened his heart, dissipating all his anger.

He looked across the table at Feng Yize’s handsome face, "Qinghuan is a good girl. She knows I’m not interested in her and doesn’t want to harm our brotherly bond. Yi Ze, if you’re truly fond of her, don’t let her down. She deserves your heartfelt pursuit."

With this said, if Feng Yize still remained stubborn, he’d truly be unreasonable.

His radiant smile returned, and he looked at Chu Junming with gratitude, "Third brother, thank you. I won’t give up on Qinghuan."

"That’s good."

Chu Junming always believed Feng Yize was the most endearing among them.

He possessed something that none of the three of them did. It could be called childishness, but it was actually warmth, enthusiasm, and initiative.

Due to his family’s circumstances since childhood, he matured faster than his peers, witnessing and getting tired of the hypocrisy and exploitation among relatives, cultivating a personality of indifference.

Ye Zhan because of his mother’s passing... Tang Jinchen due to his father’s matters when he was young... Speaking of which, Yi Ze was the least influenced by his environment.
