Who could explain to Chu Wuyou what was going on?
She watched as the person entered her house with ease.
It was evidently not the person’s first time around here!
Chu Wuyou stood there motionless as she continued to observe the stranger in silence.
Meng Ruoting noticed she was being watched. Confused, she blinked back blankly at the other party. “Are you the new housekeeper?”
This caught Chu Wuyou by surprise. She neither confirmed nor denied the comment.
Meng Ruoting and Ye Lanchen were in a complicated relationship after all. On the other hand, Chu Wuyou’s status in this house was rather unique too. The latter was unsure if she should reveal the truth.
“Perfect. Can you help me with the luggage on the outside?” Meng Ruoting thought Chu Wuyou was the housekeeper, seeing as the latter did not deny it.
Chu Wuyou glanced over at the massive suitcase that Meng Ruoting had already pushed into the house. She wondered how much stuff had the woman brought.
The energetic Meng Ruoting left through the door quickly and Chu Wuyou trailed behind her.
However, Chu Wuyou accidentally shut the main door when she walked past and locked them out of the villa.
There were two more suitcases and another bag on the outside. Meng Ruoting carried the bag and dragged one of the suitcases behind her. Chu Wuyou went on to help her with the other suitcase.
Meng Ruoting led the way and moved swiftly to the door.
Meng Ruoting had let herself in earlier hence Chu Wuyou believed the former must know the combination to the digital door. However, Meng Ruoting did not key in the code, unlocking the door using her fingerprints instead.
Chu Wuyou’s eyes twinkled. She was Ye Lanchen’s legal wife but she had only been using the combination to unlock the digital door. Even now, her fingerprints had not been programmed.
Meanwhile, Meng Ruoting was able to unlock the door using her fingerprints.
It seemed like Ye Lanchen and Miss Meng, who was standing in front of her right now, were indeed in an unusual relationship. If so, Chu Wuyou would not have to worry too much about her life being entangled with Ye Lanchen’s. When the time comes, as agreed on the contract, she could divorce Ye Lanchen and leave when he acquired the stocks to Ye Company.
At this moment, Chu Wuyou felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her chest.
“Um, why are you watching me like that?” Meng Ruoting met Chu Wuyou’s gaze and felt tiny goosebumps all over her body. “Let me make it clear that I like men, not women.”
Meng Ruoting misunderstood Chu Wuyou’s expression.
The latter was stunned for a couple of seconds and then she attempted a smile. Perhaps she had revealed her delight too evidently?!
“Wow, this smells amazing. I’m starving! Can I have dinner with you?” Meng Ruoting’s eyes shone with brilliance when she entered the room and discovered the dishes prepared by Chu Wuyou.
“Sure.” The latter had prepared more than she could eat anyway. Besides, she could not bring herself to reject Meng Ruoting, whose face was filled with excitement.
“That’s great,” Meng Ruoting cheered immediately without concealing her happiness and joy.
A bubble of laughter escaped Chu Wuyou’s mouth. Meng Ruoting’s expression earlier reminded her of Zhixi. Zhixi looked exactly like that as well every time she discovered delicious food.
Chu Wuyou was surprised by the resemblance.
She realized she did not dislike Meng Ruoting’s presence.
The main door was being opened once more when they were halfway through dinner. It was Ye Lanchen who appeared this time.
This caught Chu Wuyou by surprise. She did not expect Ye Lanchen to be home at this hour. He returned earlier than usual but what about her???
“You’re home. Your new housekeeper is an amazing cook.” Meng Ruoting raised her head to glance at Ye Lanchen. She did not stop eating but picked up her pace as if she was afraid that someone else would finish the food.
“You’re my new housekeeper?” Ye Lanchen darted his eyes toward Chu Wuyou. His cold gaze was piercing.
Housekeeper?! Was this how she introduced herself to Ruoting?!
