"..."
Ye Zhan said nothing.
He just pressed his thin lips tightly together.
The lines of his determined jaw were cold and tense.
Apart from these few brothers close to him, no one knew that he had always been unable to untangle the knots in his heart!

G City
Because of Ji Anyun’s voice on the other end of the phone, Gu Zhitong ended the call with Ye Zhan, feeling extremely upset.
She sulkily went downstairs. In the living room, Gu Kai, who was reading the newspaper on the sofa, saw her pouting. He raised an eyebrow and put down the newspaper, gesturing for her to e over, "Tongtong, e to Dad."
Gu Zhitong walked over and sat down beside him.
Gu Kai turned slightly to observe her and asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Why are you in a bad mood so early in the morning?"
"Dad, Momo encountered a bad person last night, did you know?"
"Wasn’t Momo on a trip? And she had bodyguards with her. How could she run into trouble?" Gu Kai asked with a slight change in his expression.
Gu Zhitong briefly explained to Gu Kai.
She concealed the fact that she had called Ye Zhan and heard Ji Anyun was with him.
After listening to Gu Zhitong, Gu Kai frowned and took out his phone, saying, "As long as Momo isn’t hurt, it’s fine. I’ll call your uncle and aunt to see if they know. She might not have told them."
Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran did not know about what happened to Momo in L City.
When Gu Kai’s call came in, their family had just finished breakfast.
As soon as Mo Ziye returned to G City, Mo Xiuchen immediately left his pany duties and even suggested taking Wen Ran to the countryside for a few days, planning to return after Lunar New Year.
Mo Xiuchen did not know what Gu Kai’s call was about.
As soon as he answered, he put the phone on speaker.
When he heard Gu Kai ask if he knew about what happened to Momo in L City, it was too late to turn off the speaker to avoid worrying Wen Ran.
Thus, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran changed their countryside plans to a trip to L City.
Before leaving, Wen Ran reminded Mo Ziye to take good care of Qingqing and not to focus only on the pany.
Mo Ziye smiled and assured her, "Mom, you can relax and go on the trip with Dad. Qingqing isn’t a child. Even if I’m too busy to look after her, she can take care of herself, right Qingqing."
"Mom, I’ll take good care of Brother Ziyi."
Qin Qingqing’s response made Wen Ran chuckle softly.
She glared at Mo Ziye with her eyes again, "Qingqing, with that, I’m even less assured about you two alone at home. While we’re away, he’s sure to bully you."
"Mom, I’m your biological son."
Mo Ziye protested with amusement.
He reached out with a doting hand to pat Qin Qingqing’s head.
——
L City.
Momo was unaware that Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran were ing to see her.
They did not call her directly but contacted the bodyguards.
Although those bodyguards promised not to call home behind her back,
when Mo Xiuchen’s call came, they dared not withhold the information.
So, they told Mo Xiuchen about her falling ill and being sent to the hospital.
Mo Xiuchen instructed them not to tell Momo.
On the hospital bed, Momo was receiving an IV drip.
Beside the bed, Huo Song sat there with a furrowed brow, looking at her worriedly, wishing he could fall ill in her place.
Except for when the doctor left the room and he followed them out for two minutes, he stayed by her side the whole time.
Inquiring after her wellbeing, fetching tea and water.
"Sister, are you still feeling that unfortable now?"
"Sister, is the drip too fast? If it’s unfortable, just let me know."
After the fever subsided and Momo’s head no longer hurt so much, feeling much better, she smiled and said, "Brother, I’m already much better now. You don’t have to stay here with me all the time."
"Who is this?"
