Chapter 2404: Chapter 208:
……
After a long time
Momo called the bodyguards staying in the room opposite.
A minute later, the bodyguard knocked on the door outside, “Miss Momo.”
Momo opened the door, and the two bodyguards scrutinized her nervously, “Miss Momo, are you okay?”
One of them asked with concern.
The other’s gaze moved away from her, landed on the bloodstains on the carpet, and his expression shifted slightly.
“I’m fine.”
Momo shook her head and answered calmly.
She briefly recounted the earlier situation and concluded, “I don’t know who he is. We should leave and stay at another hotel.”
“Miss Momo, there are sirens blaring in the street outside. Could that person be a bad guy?”
“I don’t know.”
Momo looked down at the bloodstains on the carpet, her elegant brows furrowing slightly; if it weren’t for this incident in the middle of the night, she really wouldn’t bother to switch hotels.
Having played all night and already exhausted, after what just happened, she now only wanted to collapse on the bed and sleep for a while to rejuvenate herself.
After packing up and pulling her suitcase, footsteps and voices came from the hallway.
The voice belonged to a hotel staff, “Young Master Ye, this is the room.”
The room door was not closed.
The two bodyguards stood at the door and, seeing the staff leading a few others over, nodded to them as a greeting.
Turning back to Momo, who was squatting on the floor, they said, “Miss Momo, Young Master Ye is here.”
As one bodyguard stepped forward to help Momo with her suitcase,
Momo stood up and turned around, her gaze meeting that of the man who entered.
“…”
Her eyes widened in surprise.
A suffocating feeling pierced her core.
Her slender form became pletely immobilized under the light.
Her slightly widened pupils reflected the man’s handsome and stern face.
Upon seeing her, a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes before his gaze swept over the room’s bloodstains and the window.
Finally, it returned to her pale face.
A plex emotion, difficult for others to understand, flashed across his eyes. He lifted his leg and entered the room in large strides.
Passing by the bodyguards at the door, he approached Momo with a powerful aura, stealing the very air from under her nose.
Causing her heart to race uncontrollably after a brief pause.
“Momo.”
Ye Zhan looked deeply at the woman standing in front of him.
Momo looked at him, hearing him call her name, and an indescribable emotion surged within her. She didn’t know why this was happening, nor could she distinguish what type of feeling it was.
Bitterness, sadness, grievance…
Turning back to the bed, Momo picked up her phone and told the bodyguards, “Let’s go.”
Intending to pass by Ye Zhan and leave the room.
“Momo.”
Ye Zhan’s hand instinctively reached out.
As she was passing his left side, he reached out with his bandaged left hand.
Through the layer of bandage, Momo didn’t feel the warmth of his palm as clearly as before, but that bandage pricked her heart.
Her heart trembled slightly as she turned her gaze to meet his dark eyes.
In an extremely cold voice, she said,
“Young Master Ye, I’ve said everything I needed to. If you want to know anything else or where that man went, you’ll have to find it out yourself.”
Ye Zhan’s face darkened at her use of “Young Master Ye.”
His gaze on her was deep and dark, and the grip on his hand unconsciously tightened with her words.
He took a deep breath and, looking at her cold brows and eyes, said word by word, “I know you have a lot of grievances and anger in your heart. I don’t have time to explain right now. When I find… finish what I’m handling, I will give you an explanation.”
—Momo’s mind was somewhat chaotic.
Her nostrils filled with the masculine scent, causing her heartbeat to remain unsettled.
She tightly pressed her lips together, her eyes dazedly looking at the man in front of her.
