Meng Ruoting’s eye twinkled with surprise. She had only made a wild guess and Ye Lanchen took it to be true. Besides, he appeared really impatient.
It seemed that he truly cared about his wife!
In other words, he had married for love and not just to put on a show to please Elder Ye!
If so, both her and mommy could feel reassured.
However, she wondered what the other person was doing in the room alone? Was she deeply hurt as she had guessed?
It would be great if that was the case, but what if the person was not?
Ye Lanchen arrived on the second floor and headed toward Chu Wuyou’s room right away. He could hear Chu Wuyou’s laughter coming from the other side of the door.
His eyes darkened and he pushed the door open without knocking.
Inside, Chu Wuyou was lying on her stomach in bed. She had her headphones on and her legs were curled up in the air comfortably. She appeared to be on a video call and she was laughing happily. It was the kind of laughter that came from the bottom of one’s heart.
Deeply hurt?! It could not have been further from the truth!!!
Right at this moment, all her attention was focused on the person on the phone. She also had her headphones on hence she failed to notice his presence.
Chu Wuyou, who was currently concentrated in speaking with her darling daughter, was not aware of anything else.
Most importantly, of course, was that she assumed that Ye Lanchen and Meng Ruoting would be lost in each other’s arms right now. She did not think anyone would come to disturb her.
Chu Wuyou suddenly noticed a dark shadow cast over her. She looked over her shoulder instinctively and discovered Ye Lanchen was standing by her bedside.
She felt herself breaking into cold sweat for a split second.
When did he enter the room? How could she not be aware of that?
She was too careless. Fortunately, however, Zhixi had left to retrieve her new toys hence she did not appear on the phone screen. He probably did not catch a glimpse of the little girl.
Chu Wuyou hung up the video call silently.
She told him before the marriage that she was a mother of two children but he did not believe that.
The children’s birth father was probably Mo Yan, according to what her senior had disclosed to her.
Therefore, she did not want anyone to find out about Zhixi and Zhimo. She did not want her two darlings to be harmed nor did she want to create unnecessary trouble.
Naturally, Ye Lanchen saw her hanging up the call. His narrowed eyes were filled with dangerous intent.
“Why are you here?” Chu Wuyou exhaled silently to regain her calm.
“Why not? Can’t I be here?” Ye Lanchen’s voice was laced with coldness and intimidation. The sound of it was capable to send shivers down one’s spine.
“What about Miss Meng? Don’t you have to accompany her?” Chu Wuyou suppressed a gasp. What was wrong with him? Should he not be over the moon that Miss Meng was here?
Ye Lanchen’s face fell in a matter of seconds. He really wanted to strangle her at this instant!
Chu Wuyou pursed her lips and kept quiet after witnessing the emotions that crossed his features.
He was evidently in a terrible mood and she was smarter than to dig her own grave.
“Who were you chatting with on the video call earlier?” Ye Lanchen became anxious as he was reminded of the pleasant smile on her face when he first entered the room.
She left him alone in the living hall and retreated to the room to have a video call with someone else. How exciting!!!
Chu Wuyou averted her gaze as she tried to come up with an explanation that would not reveal her two darlings.
Otherwise, the news of her pregnancy before marriage, not to mention with an unknown man, could become a weapon to be used against her two darlings. She was too familiar with the ways of living among affluent families.
She could not throw her kids at Mo Yan and beg him to acknowledge the children, could she?
Right at this second, her phone rang out of the blue. It was an invitation for a video call from Zhixi.
