“Husband, is there something you want to tell me?” Chu Wuyou finally enquired after the long silence that came from the other end of the phone. She was unable to make heads or tails of this phone call.
She even had an inkling that Ye Lanchen had discovered something.
The woman immediately scanned around the room.
“She’s highly vigilant indeed.” Tang Ling commented softly on the woman’s behaviour.
“Unbelievable. Third Eder Brother didn’t sound out of the ordinary earlier but she seems to have noticed something nonetheless.” Fifth Young Master Shen had completely cast away his prejudice toward the woman hence his tone changed as well.
Naturally, Ye Lanchen noticed the woman’s reaction too. A hint of brilliance flashed across his eyes as he replied immediately, “I’m also in Leng Jue. Come meet me.”
Then, he told her the number of their private room without giving her any chance to refuse.
“There’s no need for that. I can hail a taxi myself to head home. It’s quite simple to do that.” She was evidently stunned at his reply and quickly retrieved her gaze.
Why did he ask her to go over? Chu Wuyou was reluctant to do so. He must be in a dinner with others and she did not wish to be involved in his social circles.
Besides, any kind of person could show up in a place like this. She did not like to attend these events.
“Come over here,” Ye Lanchen instructed again. He sounded determined to not be rejected this time.
He knew she would not agree if he had enquired politely. Besides, he could not really rush over to the other room to bring her over.
That would give away the fact that they had been observing the entire incident previously.
He understood that she did not wish for him to learn about this. Therefore, he must pretend to have no clue of the incident for the time being.
“Husband, there’s really no need for that. You must be discussing business affairs at the moment. I don’t want to be a distraction.” Chu Wuyou clearly sensed the strange tone in his voice thus she tried her best to reply tactfully.
“Don’t make me repeat myself for the third time.” He hung up abruptly after that.
He was already enraged to begin with.
The things that she had been hiding from him. The tenderness and affectionate she showed her “Senior.” The fact that she spoke about everything with her “Senior” but not with him.
All these reasons caused his fury to reach its peak. He even felt like murdering someone at this very moment.
That was why he could not hold back his emotions anymore after listening to her constant refusals.
He had always been the coolheaded one but he had completely failed to control his emotions this time.
Chu Wuyou frowned and stared blankly at the phone. “Why has his hair bristled all of a sudden?”
“Hair bristled? This is aptly worded.” Fifth Young Master Shen who was nearby attempted a mischievous laugh.
The woman’s eyes twinkled as she came to a sudden realization. Ye Lanchen would control his rage normally even if he was exasperated. What had gotten into him today? Who was capable enough to step on his tail?
He was evidently infuriated thus it was definitely a stupid decision if she decided to head over right now.
Chu Wuyou who already despised those events became even more reluctant to show up.
She grabbed her purse and left the private immediately at a quickened pace.
“Why do I feel like the Third Elder Sister-in-law is not intending to meet Third Elder Brother. She looks as if trying to escape.” Xi Ji’s sudden remark further aggravated the tension in the air.
In fact, all the men present at the scene were brilliant people. They had seen through the woman’s little plan unquestionably.
Ye Lanchen included.
“You must bring her here,” he ordered Secretary Liu coldly.
He already expected the woman would try to flee.
How dare this bold woman run away from him at a time like this!
