My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss

Surprised, Chu Wuyou blinked. She had seen it with her own eyes, how could she have been wrong?

Meng Ruoting probably phoned her intentionally to explain again, out of fear that she would be a gossip. Therefore, she played along and replied absentmindedly, "Yup, okay, got it."

Meng Ruoting discerned the indifference in Chu Wuyou's voice but there was only so much she could do.

"Please come back now, I'm leaving soon." The main objective for Meng Ruoting's phone call was to persuade Chu Wuyou to come home quickly. Otherwise, who knew what her Elder Brother was capable of doing?

"You're leaving?" Chu Wuyou questioned in an unnatural high-pitched voice.

The unexpected response caught Meng Ruoting by surprise. Why was her Sister-in-law so emotional at the news of her departure? Was that a sign of excitement or reluctance?

"Miss Meng, Young Master Ye is in such a terrible mood right now. What would happen if you just take your leave?" Chu Wuyou was embarrassed about her lack of manners earlier and quickly regained her composure. Her voice was calm this time.

"You can come back to accompany him…" Meng Ruoting blinked her eyes in confusion. What did her Sister-in-law mean by that?

"It will only cause more harm than good. You saw what happened this morning. Only you can comfort him." Chu Wuyou shuddered as she was reminded of the terrifying look on Ye Lanchen's face this morning.

Ye Lanchen would probably blame Chu Wuyou if Meng Ruoting was to leave at this time.

She could not bring herself to even imagine what would be the consequences.

Meng Ruoting twitched her lips and winced at the sound of that. Only her Sister-in-law was capable of comforting her Elder Brother.

It was evident, however, that her Sister-in-law was not aware of that.

"Then what should I do?" Meng Ruoting was eager to find out what was playing in the other person's mind.

"Don't leave so hastily. I can't return for the next few days because of some personal matters. That's about all I can say. I need to hang up now." Chu Wuyou ended the call before giving Meng Ruoting a chance to refuse.

Meng Ruoting stared at the cell phone in daze. What just happened?

So should she stay or should she go?

She reckoned her departure right now would only further strengthen the misunderstanding between them. If so, what should happen to her poor Elder Brother?

Ye Lanchen returned to the villa when night fell. He thought Chu Wuyou would probably come home yet she was still nowhere within sight.

Ye Lanchen narrowed his eyes gradually. He was about to make a phone call when the door opened.

A light flashed across his eyes and the corners of his lips curled upward into a smile. Not bad. She still remembered to come home.

The light in his eyes disappeared instantly when he discovered it was not Chu Wuyou but Meng Ruoting that walked through the door. 'Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go home?"

"Sister-in-law wants me to be here," Meng Ruoting lifted her chin high. She was not intimidated because she was here on "imperial orders."

"??"

Ye Lanchen frowned and he narrowed his eyes in suspicions. Chu Wuyou wanted her to come back?

"Sister-in-law said that you're in a horrible mood, so I should come and to accompany you. See, Sister-in-law still cares about you." Meng Ruoting explained matter-of-factly.

Ye Lanchen laughed out of frustration. It was the kind of laughter that sent shivers down one's spine. She cared about him? If she truly cared about him why would she have asked another woman to accompany him!

He finally knew why she had not returned. She did not even notify him.

She intended to have another woman keep him company so that she could do as she liked!

Ye Lanchen reached for his phone immediately and dialed her number. This time, the call was connected.

"Where are you?" he asked through gritted teeth as soon as someone answered the phone.
