Chapter 216: Caught In The Act By Third Young Master Ye (VI)
Aunt Li was only but a housekeeper; there were certain things that she knew she should not meddle in. Besides, she was completely terrified by Ye Lanchen’s current expression. She left the house without uttering another word, still trembling in fear.
Ye Lanchen’s narrowed eyes were filled with evident fury. Chu Wuyou had been leaving the house after him every morning and returned home every evening half an hour before he did!!
In other words, the reason for her daily calls to him to enquire about the time of his return was just so that she could ensure to be home half an hour earlier than him.
If he remembered correctly, the woman was still sleeping in bed when he left the house every morning, and she appeared to have fallen asleep by the time he came home every night. Was that all just a pretense?!
Well, well, well.
Ye Lanchen glanced at the time after Aunt Li left. His eyes darkened when he realized it was only ten minutes past six in the evening. If Aunt Li was telling the truth, that meant Chu Wuyou would only come home at half-past nine!!
The corners of his lips twitched into an enigmatic smile. It was a horrifying sight to watch.
He grabbed a bottle of red wine and positioned himself on the couch in the living room before proceeding to pour the wine into a gla.s.s. He had not had dinner yet and it was not comfortable to drink alcohol on an empty stomach but he did so anyway.
Would she really come home right on the carefully planned time, just like Aunt Li had described?
It was already seven o’clock and the night was beginning to fall. The dimly-lit room made it difficult to discern objects in the dark yet it was evident that the bottle of wine placed on the table was almost half-finished.
Chu Wuyou still had not yet returned!!!
His face fell visibly. The fingers wrapped around the wine gla.s.s tightened ever so slightly but he still refused to rise to turn on the lights.
Time pa.s.sed by gradually and the night had fallen entirely. The silhouettes of the objects in the room slowly blended into the darkness, including Ye Lanchen who was sitting on the couch.
He reached out for his cell phone. The flash from the phone illuminated the empty wine gla.s.s positioned on the table. It was almost eight o’clock in the evening yet Chu Wuyou still had not shown up.
It was impossible to discern the emotion on the man’s face right at that moment. However, the temperature of the entire room seemed to have dropped by several degrees.
Simultaneously, Chu Wuyou was hugging darling Zhixi in her arms as she hummed the lullaby to coax her into falling asleep.
“Mommy, I’ll attend kindergarten with Elder Brother tomorrow. Will you come to drop us off?” Tang Zhixi was currently nestling the curve of her head into her mother’s arms. The girl was aware that her mother would leave after she fell asleep but she was already accustomed to this routine anyway.
She could understand why.
Elder Brother explained to her that Mommy was now someone’s wife hence she needed to accompany her husband at night.
However, she would be attending the new kindergarten with Elder Brother tomorrow and she wished that their mother would drop them off personally.
“Mommy will surely come over under normal circ.u.mstances, but if I can’t make it because of an unexpected event, then G.o.dmom would take over my place. Both of you must listen to her obediently.” Chu Wuyou could not promise her daughter because she feared that she might not be able to deliver her words and in turn disappointing her children.
Due to the fact that she had no idea when they could return to Country M, the two children had been staying at home without the companions.h.i.+p of their peers. Besides, both her and Qin Yutong could not guarantee to be able to stay home every day to be with the children. Therefore, Chu Wuyou had signed the two darlings up to a kindergarten.
“I understand that. Mommy’s husband is the unexpected event.” Tang Zhixi raised her pink cheeks high in all seriousness.
A bubble of laughter escaped Chu Wuyou’s mouth. It appeared that this little girl was well-informed.
