Chapter 152: Third Young Master Ye, You’re Such A Two-faced Man! (VIII)
Elder Ye was a smart man and he realized what was going on within a matter of minutes. He stared right at Jin Mingzhen with his penetrating gaze. “Are you getting bored of staying in the Ye family?”
Jin Mingzhen was not considered a part of the Ye family although she had stayed with them for about seven years. This was because she had not acquired the marriage certificate with Ye Bowen and thus, technically, she was not Ye Bowen’s legal wife.
In short, her position in the Ye family was no different from a servant.
Elder Ye could easily kick her out of the Ye Residence if he desired to.
“No, it’s not true. I didn’t do it. It’s her…” Panic-stricken, Jin Mingzhen stuttered as she had never expected things would take such a horrible turn.
She knew that she had to secure her place in the Ye Residence. Otherwise, she would be left with nothing, not to mention not being able to see her son anymore in the future.
“What about her? Look how slow-witted she is. Are you trying to tell me that she’s capable of lying and framing you?” Elder Ye interrupted her in a hoarse voice.
Chu Wuyou’s lips twitched. She had never felt so delighted to be insulted before.
Ye Lanchen threw her a sideways glance and the corners of his lips curled upward subconsciously.
Jin Mingzhen dared not speak up anymore. She did not deny nor admit to the truth. She knew that anything could escape Elder Ye’s mouth now that he was clearly enraged.
“Get out of my sight right now. If this happens again, you’ll find yourself scrambling out of my house.” Elder Ye eventually made a reasonable decision.
Ye Lanchen remained silent yet a hint of fury flashed across his eyes. Naturally, he would not easily forgive the person that had bullied his wife. He would get even with the perpetrator, just not right now.
“It’s getting late. Both of you should stay for the night.” Granny Chu appeared out of the blue with the suggestion.
Chu Wuyou was obviously reluctant about Granny Chu’s suggestion because staying the night meant having to sleep in the same room as Ye Lanchen. She turned toward the latter, hoping he would refuse the offer. Unexpectedly, he agreed with his grandma.
Ignoring the stares of other people, Ye Lanchen grabbed Chu Wuyou by the waist and retreated to his room.
Ye Lanchen narrowed his gaze slightly upon detecting her reluctance. He suddenly extended his arm and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he turned around to pin her against the bed.
Chu Wuyou’s entire body froze and she almost let out a shriek.
“Aren’t we sleeping together?” Ye Lanchen looked intently into her eyes as he revealed a meaningful smile. He distinctly remembered her “invitation” from earlier.
He spent a lot of effort putting on the show with her. It was only fair if he acquired something in return!
“…”
Chu Wuyou found herself at a loss for words.
Ye Lanchen made it obvious that he did not intend to loosen his grip. Her body was soft and he enjoyed the feeling of her tender skin brushed against his. It felt comfortable, so comfortable that he was reluctant to pull away.
It was a feeling that he had never experienced before.
Ye Lanchen leaned in closer, allowing his body to press against her. As if coming to a sudden realization, he enquired all of a sudden, “How long have we been married?”
“Five days.” The change of topic happened so abruptly that it caught Chu Wuyou by surprise. Her eyelids twitched as she tried to figure out what was playing on his mind.
She needed to be extra cautious when dealing with him.
“Ah, we’ve been married for so many days!” Ye Lanchen raised his eyebrows. “But you seem to have forgotten something.”
“What is it?” Chu Wuyou felt a tightening feeling in her chest. What was he talking about?
Although they had only been married for less than a week, their time together had been eventful and she had no clue which particular incident he was talking about at this moment.
Did he figure out what happened in the police station? Or was it…
