Chapter 42: I Miss You Too

Chu Wuyou walked away smugly as she overheard the increasingly inquisitive questions from the crowd. Chu Ninger refused to answer but occasionally, gasps could be heard.
In five years, Chu Ninger became the No. 1 socialite of Jin City, and had mastered her ability in acting. Chu Wuyou’s lips slowly parted into a subtle smile. Her younger sister’s meticulously crafted plan was about to fall apart.
No one could be blamed for this. If someone was to be blamed, then it would be Chu Ninger. She should not have plotted against and tried to harm her elder sister.
What Chu Wuyou did was a tit for tat.
Five years have passed and she was no longer the shy, awkward girl from long ago. Not many people now could conspire against and try to harm her.
Chu Ninger was not skilled enough to do so.
Chu Wuyou had earlier driven to Wan Huan Mall on her own and parked her car in the basement parking level. She walked into the elevator.
Perhaps everyone had gone to watch the commotion because there was no one else inside the elevator.
However, the elevator doors slid open again just as they were about to close.
Ye Lanchen entered and was followed closely behind by Secretary Liu.
Secretary Liu let out a quiet sigh. The President was inscrutable. He had a private elevator in his mall and yet he refused to use it.
As soon as Ye Lanchen entered with Secretary Liu, Chu Wuyou stepped back to give the two men some space. She then stood quietly in the corner without any reaction.
Her gaze was still and her face was emotionless when she looked at Ye Lanchen’s face.
Secretary Liu blinked in surprise. He could not believe that there was no reaction from a woman who saw the impeccable President.
It was his first time seeing a woman so calm despite standing so close to the President. It was as if the President was as invisible as air.
Why then did the President enter this packed elevator?!
This could be very embarrassing.
Ye Lanchen did not notice Chu Wuyou. There was a stillness in his eyes.
Secretary Liu suddenly felt that the entire atmosphere in the elevator had turned eerie.
Chu Wuyou’s phone rang at that same time. She smiled when she saw the notification on the screen.
Ye Lanchen turned and his gaze fell onto her, taking in the sight of her smile.
They were two meters apart. Her lips were like a delicate crescent moon that curved into an exquisite angle. Her eyes glowed softly under those thick glasses which made her look warm and beautiful. The lights around them seemed to have become warmer all at once.
It was a smile that came straight from the heart. It was the brightest, most beautiful smile.
That smile was infectious and grabbed attention. Ye Lanchen thought that her smile was very attractive for some unknown reason.
Who was the caller that made her…
There was a sudden flash in Ye Lanchen’s eyes.
Chu Wuyou took out her earphones and put them on. Firstly, it was for her privacy so no one could listen to her conversation. Secondly, it was a call from her darling, and she would not be hanging up for an hour and a half.
“I miss you, Mommy.” As soon as the call was answered, a tender little voice could be heard clearly. It warmed Chu Wuyou’s heart and her smile widened.
“I miss you too,” Chu Wuyou replied when she heard her darling daughter’s remark.
Chu Wuyou gave a simple response and avoided revealing her status as a mother as there were other people in the elevator. After all, no one in Jin City knew that she had two kids, and she did not want anyone to find out either.
Although the two men in the elevator were strangers to her, she still kept her guard.
For one fleeting moment, Ye Lanchen’s gaze darkened.
