To be honest, Ye Lanchen’s question made Chu Wuyou feel ill at ease.

  “Good conversation, huh?” he said in a low voice. His gaze remained fixed on her as the corners of his lips twitched ever so slightly. He sat still in his seat without moving or inching toward the woman.

  That overbearing manner of his made the other person gasp subconsciously.

  “Huh?” The brilliant woman failed to fathom his meaning.

  What good conversation? With who?

  Frankly, she did not say much to Leng Rong the entire evening. Besides, the tit-or-tat conversation between them could not be considered a good conversation.

  Well, she had a pretty good chat with Elder Leng. However, even those who were in the Chu Residence earlier did not know about this, thus it seemed impossible that Ye Lanchen would.

  Did he have the ability to see and hear from a faraway distance or what?!

  “Leng Rong presented you with a truck full of roses?” Chu Wuyou was still lost in her thoughts when the man’s voice rang in the air again. Without warning, he mentioned the roses casually.

  The woman pursed her lips slightly. She already anticipated that Ye Lanchen would learn about everything. He was probably already informed when he called her earlier.

  She did not think he would be bothered since he did not say a word throughout their last conversation over the phone. She thought perhaps he was not as arrogant, domineering, and egoistic as she initially believed. It appeared now that she had thought too “highly” of the man.

  “Do you like it?” Ye Lanchen’s narrowed gaze was filled with a cold but frightening craze like that of a gale. Despite that, his deep and unhurried tone did not sound angry at all.

  This demeanor was capable of frightening a person out of their wits.

  Fortunately, it was Chu Wuyou who was speaking to him at the moment. Anyone else would be scared to death if they were in the woman’s position.

  “I……” She wished to clarify that she did not receive the flowers gifted by Leng Rong.

  “So you two couldn’t bear to part with each other huh? Did my arrival interrupt you?” However, Ye Lanchen refused to give her a chance to defend herself. His softly spoken words attacked her like heavy blows from the hammer.

  The woman frowned slightly. What the hell was he talking about?

  Who could not bear to part with who? She and Leng Rong?

  Why would the man come to this conclusion?

  What did he mean by his arrival interrupted them? He made it out as if Leng Rong and her were doing something inappropriate.

  What the hell was going on in his mind?

  No, on second thought, Chu Wuyou reckoned the man had lost his mind. She naturally would not let this misunderstanding deepen. She had to defend herself right away or Ye Lanchen might do something completely absurd.

  “I didn’t know beforehand that Leng Rong was coming with a marriage proposal. I……”


  “But you went anyway.” The man interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. He was obviously being unreasonable at this moment.

  “I went because Elder Leng showed up at the Chu Residence. He said he’d never leave unless I came home……” Chu Wuyou made it clear that she returned not because of Leng Rong, but Elder Leng who was reluctant to leave.

  “Is this the reason for your return? Why does it concern you if he leaves or not? That’s their family business, not yours.” Third Young Master Ye began pestering with unreasonable arguments.

  A bubble of angry laughter escaped Chu Wuyou’s mouth when she turned to regard the man again. She blinked blankly and replied with all smiles, “Of course it affects me, greatly even. Leng Rong showed up with a marriage proposal for me. Of course I needed to go home……”
