Chu Wuyou immediately felt Ye Lanchen’s change of emotion, as well as the dangerous intent exuding from his entire body.
She knew that he was infuriated again. Sigh. Such a petty man!
Grandpa should have mentioned any name other than Leng Rong. She had spent so much effort last night resolving that tension.
How could grandpa have mistaken his voice for Leng Rong? This arrogant, domineering, petty man would be upset without a question.
Chu Wuyou remained silent and pressed down harder on Ye Lanchen’s mouth, for fear that he would say something else.
His narrowed eyes were brimming with rage. She preferred that Elder Chu think she was with Leng Rong instead of telling him about their relationship?!
“Leng Rong is not a bad person, actually, and I hope you’ll consider him seriously. I can tell that Elder Leng has taken a liking to you too thus you would have it easy if you married into the Leng family. It’s been said that men that have been in the army treasure their wives. Leng Rong seems like one of them, based on how sweet and gentle he treated you yesterday. You two looked like you had a good time chatting with each other…” Elder Chu had no idea of the situation over here. He misjudged her silence as a tacit approval and thought she was actually with Leng Rong at the moment. It appeared that Elder Chu was rather satisfied with that man.
Ye Lanchen’s expression turned colder as he listened on. Chu Wuyou was still positioned above him right now, covering his mouth.
He suddenly raised his legs and thrust upward.
“Ah…” She never thought the man would do this. She cried out in surprise at the unexpected attack.
“Wuyou, is something wrong?” Elder Chu paused for a brief second before enquiring in confusion.
“I’m all good, Grandpa.” She glared murderously at the man. Had this person lost his mind? She was still speaking to her grandpa.
He looked at her through half-narrowed eyes as his lips twitched. That enigmatic smile felt both flirtatious and ill-intended.
“Wuyou, where are you guys?” Elder Chu who had lived through great upheavals and changes sensed that something was not right.
“Outside eating.” Chu Wuyou startled upon sensing the scepticism in her grandpa’s voice. She had no choice but to make up an excuse.
“You’re eating out with Leng Rong?” This surprised Elder Chu but he was still not entirely convinced.
The chill in Ye Lanchen’s eyes was overflowing. He parted his lips and bit her on the arm all of a sudden.
“No, I’m not with Leng Rong. Grandpa, something happened and I need to hang up now.” She inhaled sharply and quickly ended the call.
She really could not imagine what would follow if she did not end the call!
Fortunately, this did not happen in the morning or night. That would only make matters worse.
She removed her hand from his mouth after ending the phone call while simultaneously trying to roll away from him.
However, in the next moment, he suddenly wrapped his arms around her, making her unable to leave or even move.
“Eating out with Leng Rong, huh?” Obviously, the petty man was not going to let this slide.
He spat those words out through gritted teeth. The burning rage in his eyes intensified.
The fact that she did not admit nor correct Elder Chu earlier displeased the man greatly.
