Chu Wuyou looked at Meng Ruoting in quiet intensity. The latter was in her pajamas and her hair was a mess.
There was only one possibility that could explain her coming out from Ye Lanchen’s room at this early hour looking like that.
Chu Wuyou’s eyes twinkled with brilliance at her discovery. The two of them were an item as she had expected.
That being said, she no longer had to worry that Ye Lanchen would foster any romantic thoughts about her.
Initially, Meng Ruoting wanted to explain herself, for fear that her Sister-in-law might get the wrong idea. However, she hesitated after witnessing the colors that danced across Chu Wuyou’s face. She was positive that her Sister-in-law had misread the situation, but the expression on the latter’s face…
Ye Lanchen also noticed Chu Wuyou. He, too, feared that she would read too much into the sight of Meng Ruoting leaving his room. However, he quickly discerned the unusual light that appeared in her eyes.
All of a sudden, he felt a tightening feeling in his chest, as if a huge chunk of air was blocking his windpipe.
She just discovered another woman leaving his room early in the morning but she was excited instead of being overtaken by anger?!
Why on earth was she delighted? Was that the right response for a situation like this?
Right at this moment, Ye Lanchen really wanted to grab her by the shoulders and give her a scolding.
Ye Lanchen exited his room and glared at her with a piercing stare. The coldness in his eyes seemed capable of devouring her whole.
He knew the situation earlier could cause misunderstanding and he knew that she had misread the room unquestionably.
However, she was not furious for the slightest bit but her face was washed over with excitement. Ye Lanchen’s discovery resulted in him exuding a murderous intent.
“I didn’t see anything. I didn’t see anything at all.” His penetrating stare intimidated Chu Wuyou and she explained quickly out of instinct.
Of course, it could not really be considered an explanation. To be more precise, she made her stand clear and indicated that she would pretend to not have seen anything.
This caught Ye Lanchen by surprise but his face had darkened in the next second. He gritted his teeth as if he intended to bite down on her neck.
“How could you lie? I know you’ve seen everything.” Meng Ruoting pursed her lips and pretended to look fl.u.s.tered, even though she was laughing happily on the inside.
Her Sister-in-law was too adorable.
This was the first time she witnessed her Elder Brother being thrown into such rage. Her Sister-in-law was indeed something.
A light twinkled in Chu Wuyou’s eyes. Were they worried that she would reveal their relations.h.i.+p?
“Rest a.s.sured, I’ll keep this secret for you. I promise to not spread rumors or tell anyone about this,” Chu Wuyou explained immediately and stressed her intention clearly.
She knew that Elder Ye disapproved of the relations.h.i.+p between Ye Lanchen and Meng Ruoting. She swore to never disclose this to Elder Ye.
Chu Wuyou stared Ye Lanchen in the eyes while she gave him her word. She even gave him a look for further rea.s.surance.
“Is that so?” The words escaped through his clenched teeth. Ye Lanchen felt himself about to cough up blood.
He continued glaring at her and the murderous intent in his stare grew more intense.
She had thrown him into this exasperated state and he felt like las.h.i.+ng it out on somebody.
“Yup, I promise…” Chu Wuyou nodded affirmatively for fear that he would not take her seriously.
She sucked the air between her teeth as she met with his deathly glare.
Was he thinking about killing her?
Ye Lanchen became even more furious at the sight of her frantic nodding. He did not want to hear her voice anymore. He took great strides toward her all of a sudden and extended his hand at her quickly. His intention was evident.
He was obviously trying to beat her up to teach her a lesson.
