Finally, Chu Wuyou ended the phone call. The emotions that washed over her face earlier had faded and she appeared like her normal self again.

  Ye Lanchen was still staring at her face on the security footage through half-narrowed eyes. It appeared that this woman had been keeping numerous secrets from him.

  He picked up his phone again to call her.

  Over in the other private room, Chu Wuyou frowned slightly upon discovering the phone call from Ye Lanchen. What pressing matter was it that made this man call her with such urgency?

  Calling her again and again relentlessly?!

  She exhaled deeply to readjust her composure before picking up the call. “Husband.” The word rolled off her tongue sweetly.

  “She sounded rather enthusiastic but it seems quite out of place.” Xi Ji commented as if intending the world to fall into chaos.

  To be honest, Chu Wuyou addressed her husband tenderly like a dutiful wife.

  However, the other men had witnessed too many of her “secrets” earlier that they felt her voice at this moment sounded rather insincere.

  Ye Lanchen heaved a heavy sigh. She sounded like this when speaking to him normally hence he was already accustomed. However, for some reason, her voice seemed to be piercing his eardrum at this very moment.

  “Where are you?” He tried his best to recollect his composure so that he would not sound unusual.

  “Huh? Leng Jue.” Despite that, Chu Wuyou still detected the strangeness in his voice. She did not pay much notice to it since he was a moody person anyway.

  “What are you doing?” The man enquired despite knowing the answer. He wanted to see if she would disclose the truth.

  Lil Seven twitched his lips upon listening to Ye Lanchen’s voice. His Third Elder Brother was truly treacherous, intending to trick Third Elder Sister-in-law.

  “Discussing details of the contract with a colleague. I already told you earlier.” Chu Wuyou was caught by surprise. The man had called her incessantly thus she thought he had something urgent to tell her. As it turned out, he only asked these ordinary questions when he finally successfully contacted her.

  “How did it go?” Ye Lanchen’s eyes twinkled. She did mention earlier that she was heading to discuss business with a colleague.

  She was telling the truth, but it was evident that the meeting was not only going to be an innocent dinner. This bright woman must have known about this beforehand.

  Yet she did not reveal anything to him.

  “Not bad. The contract has been signed.” Chu Wuyou replied casually without mentioning the details.

  The contract had been signed indeed hence she was not lying.

  She was determined to not disclose the incidents that happened this evening to Ye Lanchen. Therefore, it was natural that she would mention something else.

  He tightened his grip around the cell phone. It appeared that she was not intending to disclose anything to him at all.

  “Nothing out of the ordinary happened?” The man posed the question with a deep voice. He tried to suppress his anger to make himself sound normal.

  Chu Wuyou narrowed her eyes at the question. She detected something different in the man’s voice.

  “Nothing too special,” she replied ambiguously.

  To be fair, the incidents that happened this evening were not too much of a surprise to her.

  The man’s eyes were instantaneously filled with a murderous intent. He had already asked so explicitly yet she still chose to keep it a secret?

  She told the incident to her Senior but not him?! She informed her Senior about every detail but could not bring herself to speak honestly with him. Was he less significant to her compared to that rubbish senior?!

  Chu Wuyou had been keeping secrets from Ye Lanchen ever since they got married. Everything that she chose to show him was only pretence.

  He suddenly felt like strangling her to death at the thought of this.

  Fortunately, she was not in front of him at this moment……
