Chapter 279: Repaying Her Debts! (I)
Trying a honey trap on a man that did not show compa.s.sion and care for a woman would yield no result. Of course, Chu Wuyou also could not really try that tactic, given her current appearance, thus she had no choice but to speak the truth.
Ye Lanchen was taken aback by her reply. His eyes narrowed immediately and he began laughing all of a sudden.
What did she say?
That he was her son?!!!
He interrogated her to find out why Tang Boqian would pick up the phone when the number was under Tang Zhimo’s name in her address book.
He wished to know if Tang Zhimo and Tang Boqian were the same people.
In actuality, albeit pressuring her for an answer, he pretty much concluded that both these names belonged to the same person. After all, people in their profession often acquired several names at the same time. Even Tang Ling went by different aliases.
But what did she say again? That he was her son?!
She was only twenty-five years old. Even if it was someone else rather than Tang Boqian who picked up the phone to “Tang Zhimo” earlier, the person’s voice sounded mature, thus he estimated the man was in his early thirties at the very least.
How could she have given birth to a son that was older than herself?
No one would buy this nonsense.
How dare she attempt to fool him with such an illogical excuse?
Did she think he was stupid? No, in fact, she had no idea that he had called the number to verify earlier.
That explained why she had the cheek to lie without a hint of guilt.
Of course, Third Young Master Ye completely refused to believe the possibility of the fact that Chu Wuyou might actually have a son.
“Why don’t you just say that he’s your father?” The infuriated man retaliated harshly.
This excuse might have been more acceptable, at least the maturity of the voice would match in this case.
The woman was stunned. Why would she call her son her father? Did Ye Lanchen think she could not tell her son from her father overnight?!
Besides, her father pa.s.sed away many years ago, and she had never met him.
Ye Lanchen was such a peculiar man.
On second thought, Chu Wuyou confirmed she had not disclosed too much information by accident based on his reaction. This explained why the man did not believe her even when she told the truth.
How did he learn about Tang Zhimo then?
She dared not voice her doubt at that moment, for fear that it would only bring more trouble upon herself.
However, what had actually happened that triggered this rage in him?
It must have been more than the fact that she had “raped” him after getting drunk last night.
She genuinely hoped that was the case. At least then it could divert his attention a little, to make him forget about the incident that happened last night.
Chu Wuyou was indeed too naïve at times!
Ye Lanchen fixed his narrowed gaze on the woman, clenching his teeth upon witnessing the innocent look on her face. In the next second, he lunged forward to lock his lips on hers again.
He did not want to continue the conversation. All he desired was to do the things he wanted to do.
So what if Tang Zhimo and Tang Boqian were greatly involved in her life?
He was the only person present by her side at this time. He was her legal husband, the only person that could lawfully call her his own.
Surely this fact triumphed over everything, no?
The anger in his gaze dissipated at the thought of this and his kisses turned gentle. His swimming hands that hovered over her soft skin began exploring the area underneath her s.h.i.+rt.
“Stop, stop.” Chu Wuyou’s body tensed up and she quickly grabbed the inquisitive hands.
Ye Lanchen paused in his actions obediently. He stared at her in silence, as if trying to hurry her to speak up because he had something better to do.
The woman who was already feeling “diffident” to begin with became even more sheepish after meeting his gaze.
“This is my room. Shouldn’t you return to yours too…” Despite that, she managed to voice her opinion.
Things went out of control last night because she was drunk, but she was definitely sober now.
Chu Wuyou fixed her gaze on Ye Lanchen after expressing her thoughts. Within seconds, she witnessed the emotions that chased over his features before her voice trailed off…
