Ye Lanchen knew Chu Wuyou was still thinking about divorcing him even at this very moment. However, they had been husband and wife for a while now. Was it possible that she would develop some feelings for him?
Perhaps just a little bit?
The man was nervous when he posed this question. He was truly afraid to hear her straightforward reply that there was no reason for her to be sad about his death.
The corners of her lips twitched subconsciously. Did this man know how to hold a conversation? Why the sudden talk about death?
“Have you heard that scourge lives for thousands of years?” She glared at him with a hint of frustration and annoyance.
It was unsure if she was annoyed because he suddenly brought up the topic of death or some other reason.
The man appeared shocked but quickly smoothed away his surprise with a genuine smile, the kind that came from the bottom of the heart. Hearing this answer from her was satisfying enough for the time being.
Her words sounded like ridicule but it actually showed she did not wish death or anything bad upon him.
“I just want to trouble you forever.” He hugged her closer into his embrace once more to whisper sweetly into her ear. A hint of satisfaction was audible in his voice.
This was Third Young Master Ye’s way of flirting.
It was a shame that Chu Wuyou did not understand that, at least not for now.
Startled, she blinked her eyes blankly. What? Why did he think he could trouble her forever? Was there enmity between them?
Did she offend his ancestors’ grave or something?
Ha, he would not have the chance to trouble her forever.
She would leave with her two darlings once they divorced, as agreed before, and get as far away from him as possible. He could trouble anyone he liked then because she would long be out of his life.
Chu Wuyou fell for Ye Lanchen’s trick last time with the marriage but she promised herself to not let that happen again.
She wrapped the blanket tighter around her, intending to go to sleep without acknowledging him anymore.
He did not torment her tonight but he made sure to keep his arm at her waist at all times.
The woman could not get used to it in the beginning. She tried several times to remove his arm, only for the man to pull her closer even more. Eventually, she had no choice but to give up. He could hug her as long as he did not do more than that.
She had a great sleep that night.
The following morning, the phone placed next to him vibrated. He opened his eyes and glanced over at the woman. Upon realizing she was still asleep, he retrieved his phone quickly to end the call but changed his mind after glancing at the caller ID.
He made up his mind that he did not want to acquire Ye Company anymore. If so, he certainly had to take better care of his own company or he would not have enough to financially support his wife.
“President, it would be best if you come over. There are already numerous affairs that need your attention, not to mention Vice President Xi has transferred all of his stocks and is not showing up at work. I really can’t hold everything together by myself much longer.” The anxious Secretary Li was on the verge of crying. This had never happened before. Was this really the President he was currently speaking to?
“Got it,” he replied in a low voice. He had to work hard to be able to take care of his wife.
Therefore, he decided to head back to the company. However, he had to bring her along to ensure she would not do things secretly behind his back.
