Everyone present could not help but gasp at the sight. Chu Wuyou had the courage of a lion.

  Of course, they might not think otherwise if they were not in fact observing the situation through the security footage. She was in the middle of a phone call after all, thus it was understandable that she could not pick up another incoming call.

  However, the problem was that everyone, Ye Lanchen included, was watching her at this very moment. They all witnessed that she chose to ignore the man’s call on purpose.

  That made a hell of a difference.

  Ye Lanchen exhaled deeply before calling the woman again. Chu Wuyou glanced at the phone quickly and still refused to answer the call. She continued engaging in the conversation with her “Senior” happily.

  Simultaneously, not only was Ye Lanchen looking exasperated, everyone else present in the room also appeared rather nervous.

  Ye Lanchen had called her again and again but Chu Wuyou paid no attention to him each time, just so that she could continue speaking with another man!!!

  This was too f*cking exciting to watch!

  Naturally, the other observers in the room not only felt excited but also terrified.

  Ye Lanchen tried calling the woman one more time.

  This time around, Chu Wuyou ignored it completely without even checking the phone screen.

  Lil Seven, who was standing next to Ye Lanchen, gulped back his fear before retreating one step backward silently. He figured standing too close to his Third Elder Brother at this moment might bring danger to his life.

  However, Third Elder Sister-in-law was indeed unbelievable. She was evidently aware that Third Elder Brother was trying to reach her. However, she was determined not to answer and pretended as if nothing happened.

  She was probably the only person that dared to treat the man this way.

  Even so, Lil Seven still feared for his domineering Third Elder Sister-in-law.

  He thought that Third Elder Brother might rush over to the other room right now to expose her.

  Ye Lanchen’s narrowed eyes remained fixed on the woman’s face on the security footage. He tried calling her another time to see how much longer she was going to ignore him.

  “I’ll hang up soon because someone else is trying to reach me. Just send the information to my email.” Chu Wuyou finally responded this time. She looked at the caller ID for a couple of seconds and her lips turned into a little pout. She finally acknowledged his phone call although looking evidently displeased.

  This man was surely annoying!

  Why did he keep calling her despite knowing that she was engaged on another line?!

  Ye Lanchen’s face fell visibly upon discovering the frustration on her face.

  Was she really that reluctant to speak with him? Was she annoyed because he had interrupted the “affectionate time” she had with her “Senior”?!

  He was her legitimate husband!

  “What’s wrong? Your temporary husband is calling you?” Hongling made the right guess at first try and teased the other woman again.

  “I really can’t hide anything from you.” Chu Wuyou was about to hang up the call but replied when Hongling posed the question.

  “How much does he know about your affairs?” Hongling suddenly spoke in a serious manner. After all, Chu Wuyou’s true identity and appearance was a secret to the public.

  “I’m not sure. But he mentioned before that he chose me because I’m stupid and hideous.” Chu Wuyou quoted the man from her memory.

  She thought back then that Ye Lanchen had come to her for revenge instead of asking for her hand for marriage.

  Hongling’s laughter blasted through the speaker of the phone before she made a serious comment half-jokingly. “Don’t worry, I’ll not treat you like that. You’re welcome to my embrace anytime.”


  “Pfft.” A bubble of laughter escaped Chu Wuyou’s mouth. “I know for certain that you’ll not treat me that way. Wait for me. I’ll be back in a year, no, eleven months.”
