My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: The Mighty Third Young Master Ye Was Awesome! (III)

Chu Wuyou’s cell phone rang again before she could organize the findings.

Her eyebrows twitched subconsciously upon seeing Ye Lanchen’s name displayed on the screen. She suddenly remembered that he was hot under the collar when he left the villa earlier.

“I’ll pick you up at half-past four. We’ll visit the old residence tonight.” However, Ye Lanchen sounded mild in his tone just like usual. There was no intimidation in his voice.

“Oh.” Chu Wuyou was caught by surprise. She remembered the photo shared by Qin Yutong earlier and she thought he would be too occupied for a visit tonight.

“Do I need to be dressed up?” Chu Wuyou thought she had to at least make herself more presentable since it would be her first time meeting the elders.

Sometimes, a proper, full-on preparation could take hours but she despised going through all the trouble. She was hoping to avoid that unless Ye Lanchen mentioned otherwise.

It seemed like Ye Lanchen had called her on purpose for that reason. However, it was already past three in the afternoon. How well could she have prepared herself in less than an hour and a half?

“No need for that,” Ye Lanchen replied immediately. His woman did not dress up for him so why should she do so for those people?

He did not marry her to be eye-candy for them.

Besides, he knew that she was not a fan of those exaggerations. He wanted her to be comfortable as is.

Chu Wuyou’s eyes twinkled at the sound of that. Really? Nothing at all? She was startled but her lips curled upward subconsciously. She rejoiced at the option to dress freely.

She could not improve her appearance tremendously with her current disguise anyway. In addition, she also did not intend to please anyone deliberately.

That being the case, Chu Wuyou buried her nose in the murder files again and sent over the completed documents to her senior.

Her senior would then forward the information over to Fifth Young Master Shen. This method was inevitably inconvenient for everyone involved but Chu Wuyou had to act with extra caution after the incident that happened earlier today in the police station.

Ye Lanchen came to pick her up at half-past four right on the dot. He always respected other’s time, which was one of Chu Wuyou’s traits too.

He could not refrain from smiling upon seeing the woman. He noticed she was still dressed in the exact outfit from when he left.

She listened to him obediently! Why was she not as obedient normally?

“What’s the matter?” Chu Wuyou felt a numbing sensation on her scalp at the sight of his grin.

“Nothing. Not bad.” The grin on his face became wider at the sight of her perplexed expression.

Chu Wuyou, on the other hand, felt herself trembling slightly. Not bad?! Could he elaborate on which part of her was not bad?

She truly had no idea about the meaning behind his comment and was skeptical of how genuine it was.

Besides, his face was clouded with frustration when he left the house earlier but now he had turned warm and sunny!

Could it be possible that he was comforted by Meng Ruoting?!

Chu Wuyou reckoned that was it.

Ye Lanchen seemed to be in a good mood along the way and that further convinced Chu Wuyou that the former was cheered up by someone else.

She could finally take the load off her mind. He had probably forgiven her about the incident this morning seeing as he had returned to a good mood.

Ye Residence was situated far from their villa and they spent a lot of time on the road because there was a lot of traffic along the way. It was almost six o’clock in the evening by the time they arrived.

Ye Lanchen drove past the gate into Ye Residence. The whole courtyard was eerily quiet.

The courtyard was unbelievably enormous. Ye Lanchen had to drive on for almost ten minutes before the sight of a magnificent mansion finally appeared in front of their eyes.

The doors to the mansion were shut at that point. Chu Wuyou did not even catch a glimpse of a silhouette since they drove past the main gate.

Ye Lanchen’s face darkened but he did not comment further as he got out of the car. Unexpectedly, he positioned one hand on the back of her waist and led her through the doors.

The doors to the mansion were opened. Chu Wuyou was stunned for a few seconds when she obtained a full view of the interior. Simultaneously, everyone in the main hall also shifted their attention toward her. The notification alert of Ye Lanchen’s phone rang at the same time and his gaze narrowed quickly. It was the special alert that he set regarding the investigation about her background. The alert must mean that they had discovered something!!! He would finally learn everything about her identity and background soon!
