My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss

"Really? Is that so? You're not pulling my leg? Oh, yes! That's wonderful." Qin Yutong who was on the end of the phone hesitated for a second before screaming for joy.

Chu Wuyou shook her head in dismay. It was evident that Qin Yutong was not on the same page as her.

The latter did not fathom the intention behind the speculation that was revealed earlier.

"Yutong, if Ye Lanchen is truly that man from five years ago, AKA the birth father of my two children, what do you think he will do when he finds out the truth?"

"Wuyou, you fear that he'll chew you out when he knows?" That was the first possibility that flashed across Qin Yutong's mind.

"That's not my main concern. What worries me the most is how he'll treat the two children, or perhaps how the Ye family will treat them." Qin Yutong was definitely right. If Ye Lanchen was indeed that man from five years ago, there was no chance he would let her off once he found out the truth. However, the safety of both her darlings was more important over her own.

She did some research on the Ye family two days ago and the outcome was disheartening.

"You guys are already married so naturally, the children will be part of the massive family too." Qin Yutong was naïve. She always looked at life through rose-tinted glasses.

"There's more than that that goes behind the closed doors of a rich and affluent family." Chu Wuyou shook her head silently. Sometimes she really envied Qin Yutong's innocent way of thinking.

"It can't be that complicated?" Obviously, Qin Yutong did not see eye to eye with Chu Wuyou.

"You know that Ye Lanchen has a younger stepbrother from another mother, right?" After a brief moment of consideration, Chu Wuyou decided to share her findings with Qin Yutong.

Although she knew that Qin Yutong was a forthright and outspoken person that often made a slip of the tongue, she feared even more that Qin Yutong and Zhimo would do something absurd that was beyond her control.

"Hm, yup. It's not the most earth-shattering secret." Qin Yutong was stunned for a brief moment as she did not know why it was brought up out of the blue.

"Do you know when that younger stepbrother of his was brought home to the Ye family?" Chu Wuyou took her time to lead the other person into the main point.

"Probably twenty years ago, from what I heard. About one year after Ye Lanchen's mother died. The baby boy was taken in by the Ye family soon after he was born. Wuyou, why are you asking about this all of a sudden?" Qin Yutong became more perplexed. "Are you trying to say that the child is the fruit of Ye Bowen's extramarital affair? If we do the math logically, that child was conceived after the death of Ye Lanchen's mother, thus we don't know for sure that Ye Bowen had cheated on his wife."

The child was born a year after Ye Lanchen's mother passed. The average time of a childbearing process was ten months, which meant that the baby was conceived after the death of Ye Bowen's first wife.

Nonetheless, it all happened in such a short span of time. Ye Bowen found himself in the arms of another woman just around two months after the death of his first wife.

Of course, they could have been together way before that.

However, it should not concern Wuyou even if Ye Bowen did cheat on his first wife.

Wuyou married Ye Lanchen, not his father.

There was no conflict of interest.

"But do you know when the mother of that boy was allowed into the Ye Residence??" Chu Wuyou waited after the big speech to pose the million-dollar question in a serious voice.
