My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss - Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Caught In The Act By Third Young Master Ye (VIII)

Chu Wuyou inhaled sharply. Ye Lanchen was not watching her right now but his attention was focused on the wine glass in hand. She suddenly became worried about the wine glass that he was currently holding.

No, she should be concerned about nothing but herself.

She reckoned the man would strangle her to death in the next second.

“Do I need to repeat myself?” The silence made Ye Lanchen sweep his gaze past her one more time. That glance appeared nonchalant yet Chu Wuyou felt a shiver down her spine at the split second that their eyes met.

As if every drop of blood flowing in her body suddenly froze!

The woman took in a deep inhale and began walking toward him. She was moving unusually slow but the two of them were not far apart to begin with thus she came near him by taking just several small steps.

Chu Wuyou paused in her tracks when she was about three meters away from the man sitting on the couch. Her subconscious convinced her to keep a safe distance from the man.

He glanced over at her feet as if deliberately trying to measure the distance between them. Then, he lifted his eyes slowly to scan her entire body before fixing his gaze on her face.

“Don’t you have anything to say?” Ye Lanchen spoke again in a gentle voice. The soft voice brushed against her chest tenderly yet she could still detect the dangerous intent.

A terrifying dangerous intent.

Chu Wuyou’s entire body froze and she pursed her lips slightly, refusing to comment. She could not disclose the fact about the two children but she did not wish to lie to him either. Therefore, she had no choice but to resort to silence at that point.

“Where did you go?” It appeared that Ye Lanchen was unusually patient. He enquired again since she declined to answer, his voice slightly raised this time.

Only by the slightest bit.

The woman trembled. She knew that the man would not let her off the hook easily but she really did not want to lie to him. In the end, she chose to keep quiet again.

“Are you going to tell me, or do you want me to investigate the matter on my own?” The corners of Ye Lanchen’s lips twitched slightly as he continued swirling the wine gradually. His low and gentle voice was not laced with intimidation yet the dangerous intent caused the woman to hold her breath.

“I think we should respect each other’s privacy.” Chu Wuyou carefully released the breath that she had been holding after she expressed her mind. She really feared that the man would launch an investigation on her again.

Both her children were in Jin City right now. She knew that given Ye Lanchen’s ability, he would find out the truth in a matter of minutes if he set his mind to it.

Her two darlings were her weakness.

She would never allow them to be hurt in any way.

“Privacy?” The man’s deep-set eyes began to narrow gradually as he glared at the woman. “You’re talking about privacy? Does privacy mean pretending to be asleep in the morning but leaving the house immediately right after me?”

“Does privacy mean calling me every day to enquire about my time of return, so that you could rush home half an hour before me and pretend to fall asleep?” Ye Lanchen’s voice was laced with anger. He had suppressed the rage during three hours of waiting but this one sentence that blurted out of her mouth forced his fury to erupt at once.

How dare this woman talk about privacy to him at this very moment?!
