Shocked, Chu Wuyou retreated to her room quickly and slammed the door shut behind her.
“d.a.m.n. She moves at an incredibly fast speed. There’s no doubt she’s undergone some proper training.” Meng Ruoting widened her eyes as a mixed feeling of surprise and admiration washed over her face. Her Sister-in-law was amazing.
How did she acquire such speed?!
Ye Lanchen had already witnessed her agility before thus he did not appear overly astonished. His cold eyes narrowed at the sight of the locked door. “Open the door.”
“No. I already promised to keep your secret. Why do you still want to silence me by taking my life?” Chu Wuyou pushed back against the door with all her force. She was determined not to give in.
Her reply caught Ye Lanchen by surprise. Was he going to silence her by taking her life?
How on earth did she come to that conclusion?
Well, to be fair, he was in so much rage he could strangle her to death but that was out of the question.
Was she not a criminal psychologist? Was she not able to see through everything with a mere glance? So how could she not realize that he was extremely furious at this very moment?
Indeed, Chu Wuyou was the criminal psychologist that was capable of solving every case with impeccable accuracy. However, she became exceptionally insensitive when dealing with romance and emotions. This was why Nangong Mu had been calling her a fool when it came to love.
Perhaps it was true that no one was perfect and no one had it all.
“Pfft…” Laughter bubbled out of Meng Ruoting whilst listening to their argument, but it was inaudible to Chu Wuyou who had locked herself in the room.
“Just open the door.” Ye Lanchen heaved a deep sigh. He tried his best to sound calm yet his voice still reeked of unmistakable intimidation.
On the other side of the door, Chu Wuyou refused to comment or cooperate.
Thinking of the terrifying features that sprawled across his face earlier, she knew she would be the biggest fool if she opened the door at that moment.
“Do you want to unlock the door yourself or should I get the key?” Ye Lanchen failed to suppress his rage and that immense fury surged beyond him. His voice was capable of making one leap in fear.
Chu Wuyou, who positioned herself safely in the room, could not help but shudder at the sound of his voice. She knew Ye Lanchen had the key and she could not hide in the room forever.
She quickly glanced at the window and walked toward it immediately.
Chu Wuyou wanted to leave this place for the time being since Ye Lanchen had flown off the handle. Besides, if she left the villa, she could give the other two people some privacy.
She also remembered she promised yesterday that she would pay her darlings a visit. This seemed like the perfect decision.
He would calm down eventually and then they could talk things out.
Ye Lanchen stood by the door for a long time but no response came from the other side. His eyes twinkled and he retrieved the key immediately to unlock the door. There was no sight of Chu Wuyou in the bedroom at all.
The window was the only other option to leave the room apart from the door. Evidently, she had leaped out of the window.
Ye Lanchen’s narrowed eyes were filled with intense frustration. He dialed her number instantaneously but to no avail.
Surely, Chu Wuyou would not answer his calls if she was so desperate that she had to leave through the window.
Well, well, well. He was interested to see where else could she have run to? She could not possibly hide from him forever!
This was her home and she had to return eventually. He decided that he should just wait.
“Sister-in-law is so terrified of you that she leaped out from the window?” Meng Ruoting was in utter shock. Her Sister-in-law was full of surprises.
“Elder Brother, you were so horrifying earlier that no one could handle it.” She decided that her Sister-in-law was not to blame; her Elder Brother was indeed overly frightening. The emotions that moved like storms across his face were unworldly.
“Pack up and go home immediately.” Ye Lanchen coldly glanced at her and dismissed her without a second thought.
Now was not the right time for him to reveal the whole truth to Chu Wuyou and he feared that Ruoting’s presence would only deepen the misunderstanding.
Meng Ruoting twitched her lips in displeasure. Elder Brother had shooed her out of his house because of her Sister-in-law. It appeared that he really cared about his wife.
Meng Ruoting reckoned she should at least ring Chu Wuyou before she left. Of course, she must not reveal her ident.i.ty due to the incident that happened years ago, but she could at least attempt to clarify any misunderstanding between them.
“h.e.l.lo, it’s me, Meng Ruoting.” She introduced herself as soon as the call patched through.
“Miss Meng, is there anything that I can help with?” This caught Chu Wuyou by surprise. Evidently, she was not expecting a phone call from Meng Ruoting.
“I need to clarify something. You were mistaken about the relations.h.i.+p between Ye Lanchen and I.” Meng Ruoting cut to the chase without wasting time.
