“What kind of exception?” Ye Lanchen twitched his brows into a deep frown as a flurry of emotions stormed across his face. Second Young Master Zhuo had initially said that Chu Wuyou would be alright after a good sleep but now he was saying that there could be an exception. Which one was it?

  “I’m not sure either. You’ll know later tonight, after you bring her home.” Second Young Master Zhu did not explain explicitly though a mischievous grin spread across his face.

  Some people with this kind of condition could react exaggeratedly after getting drunk. The reaction could be so unbelievably crazy that it could get out of control.

  He wondered if this girl was one of those people.

  However, it might not be a bad thing for Lil Three even if she was.

  Although he did not witness the astonishing behavior of Chu Wuyou earlier, he could tell that Lil Three cared a lot about her. Perhaps she might surprise Lil Three later tonight.

  “Third Elder Brother, no matter what, just bring her home. You can do whatever you like later,” Fifth Young Master Shen commented slyly. He understood Second Young Master’s innuendo almost immediately.

  Ye Lanchen threw an indifferent glance at the man before lifting the woman into his arms. “I’ll bring her home first.”


  Naturally, he could not be bothered to linger around longer since she had passed out.

  “Third Elder Brother, aren’t you impatient?” Fifth Young Master Shen guessed Ye Lanchen’s mood at this moment, but he was so talkative that he felt uneasy about not teasing the latter at a time like this. Especially since he was still holding a grudge from being “attacked” by Chu Wuyou earlier. He must ridicule them to ease the displeasure in his heart.

  “Seems like you still haven’t had enough fun earlier. If that’s the case, then I’ll continue playing with you slowly in the future.” Ye Lanchen glared at Fifth Young Master Shen through narrowed eyes again. His voice was laced with unconcealed warning, a threat.

  “Third Elder Brother, I’ll never do this again.” Fifth Young Master Shen surrendered immediately. Perhaps he would die a horrible death if Third Elder Brother decided to play with him.

  Ye Lanchen left hurriedly with Chu Wuyou in his arms.

  Secretary Liu was behind the wheels, whereas the other two got into the backseat. She was being hugged closely in his embrace.

  In the beginning, Chu Wuyou was sleeping quietly, almost in complete silence.

  She budged a little when they were halfway through the journey. Thinking that she was not feeling comfortable, Ye Lanchen tried to readjust her posture.

  However, the woman’s eyes widened all of a sudden. Her eyes were as dark as the quiet night yet they seemed dazzling at the same time.

  He feared that something was going to happen thus he turned the lights on. He noticed almost as soon as she opened her eyes.

  Ye Lanchen was caught by surprise. Was she not supposed to wake up tomorrow morning? This was sooner than he expected.

  She even looked sober at this moment.

  That exception that the Second Elder Brother mentioned earlier was probably not going to happen anymore?!

  Chu Wuyou scanned around the room before looking at him intently in the eyes. She smiled softly at the man. The beam appeared as bright and beautiful as the sun yet it felt somewhat enchanting simultaneously.

  Ye Lanchen blinked back blankly when he met her smile. He could not help but feel like he was in a trance. He had removed the glasses from her face earlier and now her eyes appeared unbelievably beautiful when she smiled.

  This was the first time he saw her in this way since their marriage. He liked seeing her in this new light.

  “You’re awake.” The corners of his lips twitched into a gentle smile. His voice had never sounded so soft before.

  Instead of replying to him, the woman blinked back absentmindedly before suddenly extending her arm to place her palm on his cheek. She caressed his cheek again and again.

  This caught Ye Lanchen by surprise. Was this considered normal for her?

  No, surely not, but what was going on?
