Chapter 184: Early Divorce (III)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A divorce was definitely out of the question. Ye Lanchen had never entertained that idea since the day of their marriage, hence Chu Wuyou could dismiss that thought for the rest of her life.
Of course, he knew that she was not interested in him right now. He could even feel her reluctance about getting into a relationship.
However, she did not resist his body, his intimacy, his kisses.
If that was the case, then he should first convince her body, followed by her mind, and finally her heart, into accepting his love.
Without a doubt, a divorce must not happen in order for him to achieve that goal.
He reckoned he should speed up in his investigation to unearth the truth. Once he obtained enough evidence to prove she was that woman from five years ago, there was no chance she could escape from his grasp ever again.
Right now, he could still use his original excuse to mediate the circumstance.
“Which of your ears hear that I’m giving up the stock ownership of Ye Company?” Ye Lanchen was left with no other alternative than to defend the words that had escaped his mouth earlier.
It was said that there was no use crying over spilled milk because what was done could not be reversed. However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to try his best to gather the spilled milk back into the glass.
“Both of them. You said that yourself.” Chu Wuyou was caught by surprise. He had declared that just a few minutes ago, loud and clear. She did not have a hearing difficulty, so surely she had heard him properly.
Meng Ruoting failed to restrain herself from laughing again. Her Sister-in-law was too adorable.
“Have you ever heard of reverse psychology?” Ye Lanchen threw Chu Wuyou a deathly glare. His ability to lie without a hint of guilt was certainly impressive.
Meng Ruoting twitched the corners of her mouth. She wondered if her Elder Brother had made the right move.
“I have, but I thought that’s beneath your dignity.” Chu Wuyou blinked back blankly. Would a proud and arrogant person like him resort to using reverse psychology? She could not bring herself to believe it.
This caught Meng Ruoting by surprise. Turned out her Sister-in-law understood her Elder Brother pretty well.
“As long as it works.” Ye Lanchen on the hand found himself clenching his teeth. She was always a little slow when a situation called for her intelligence; however, she never failed to frustrate him with her sharpness when he needed her to be slow-witted.
“Hmm.” Chu Wuyou found herself agreeing with him because his tactic would actually work on Elder Ye. The latter was a bright person and surely he was aware of Ye Lanzhang’s ability. There was no way he would actually pass on the family business to Ye Lanzhang.
Elder Ye had said that just to intimidate Ye Lanchen. However, his challenge was received by his grandson’s indifference. Unquestionably, Elder Ye would be the person that was the most anxious and concerned at this moment.
Ye Company would no doubt be in turmoil if Ye Lanchen really refused to take over.
He was satisfied with the expression that spread across the woman’s face yet he reminded nonchalantly again. “According to the agreement, divorce is out of the question before I acquire the stock ownership of Ye Company. I’m sure you understand that better than I do.”
“Yup, I know that.” Chu Wuyou nodded affirmatively. She was the one who drafted the agreement hence she was definitely the person who knew it best.
She suggested a divorce initially because she thought he had chosen Meng Ruoting over Ye Company. Turned out she had rejoiced too soon.
“And so?” Ye Lanchen raised his brows and continued staring into her eyes.
“I won’t mention a divorce again before you acquire the stock ownership of Ye Company.” Chu Wuyou understood his intention naturally. She was a person of her words and she would not give an empty promise. Besides, her previous misunderstanding was an innocent mistake.
Naturally, she would abide by the agreement strictly now that she was aware of his true intention.
“Hmm, that’s better.” Ye Lanchen was finally pleased although he was still not entirely relieved. It seemed like he needed to come up with an idea to prolong Elder Ye’s decision to pass on the Ye Company to him.
Indeed, Third Young Master Ye was unmistakably a two-faced man.
Meng Ruoting widened her eyes to stare at her Elder Brother in shock. She never knew her Elder Brother was secretly a treacherous, evil person!
