“Never. Dream on.” Chu Wuyou almost jumped when the possibility flashed across her mind. What did the man want from her?
A suspicious smile appeared on Ye Lanchen’s face upon seeing her reaction. Then, he preserved a mask of solemnity and pushed the medicine toward her. “What’s the matter? I only asked you to get the medicine out of its package. Do you need to respond with such exaggeration?”
“Unless you were thinking of something else?” He allowed the sentence to trail off meaningfully.
He discovered that although she was unbelievably bright in numerous fields, she seemed a little blunt when dealing with affectionate feelings.
“…”
Chu Wuyou blinked blankly back at him. Did she overreact earlier?
Anyway, she opened the tiny box of medicines, retrieved two pills as instructed on the guide, and handed them over.
Instead of taking the pills from her hand, Ye Lanchen’s impeccable, flawless face leaned forward to receive the medicine with his mouth.
His lips touched her fingers inevitably. The moment his lips came into contact with her fingertips, the warmth of it caused a burning sensation on her skin, and she immediately retrieved her hand instinctively.
Chu Wuyou pretended to maintain calm and turned her head to the window, but her blushing cheeks sold her out.
Ye Lanchen tried to suppress a smile. It suddenly occurred to him that she could get embarrassed too. Besides, she looked pretty adorable when shy.
He had recently come back from an overseas business trip, hence he returned to the company immediately after lunch. When Chu Wuyou mentioned her desire to go home, he did not refute this time around but instructed the driver to send her home.
Chu Wuyou wanted to see her children again but she had to bear the pain.
Before night fell, she received a text message which relayed that Li Yuan, Ye Bowen’s driver from years ago, would make a presence at private room 505 in Leng Jue.
Li Yuan was the driver that appeared in that village years ago along with Ye Bowen.
Chu Wuyou was uncertain when she would finally have a chance to meet Ye Bowen. She also considered the fact that the latter might not reveal any details when questioned. Eventually, she reckoned she should commence the investigation with the driver, in the hope to gather some unexpected results.
After a moment of contemplation, Chu Wuyou decided to visit Leng Jue. She was determined to unearth the true reason behind her mother’s death.
She thought of making a phone call to Ye Lanchen and ask about the time of his return.
“Hello,” Ye Lanchen answered on the third ring. His voice seemed to be laced with a peculiar emotion.
“Husband, when will you come home?” However, Chu Wuyou who had another concern weighing on her mind did not detect the strange detail.
“I’ll be back quite late, at 11 pm.” Ye Lanchen who had a strong sense of time provided her with an exact answer.
“Okay.” She hung up the call right away once her intention was achieved.
Ye Lanchen stared at the phone in surprise. Did that woman just hang up on him? What was the purpose of calling him purely to enquire about the time of his return?
Even if she was not skilled in sweet-talk like other women, she could at least say something thoughtful to her husband such as reminding him to not overload himself with work.
In reality, she just hung up on him without hesitation.
What kind of a wife had he gotten himself?
Chu Wuyou did not wish to attract unnecessary troubles. She and Chu Ninger kept appearing on the front page lately and she despised that unwelcome attention.
She applied make-up onto her face in the car.
Out of Chu Wuyou’s knowledge, Ye Lanchen was also approaching Leng Jue at the same time.
