Someone’s Jealous
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“President.” Secretary Liu was rather confused upon seeing Ye Lanchen and Chu Wuyou leaving the building not long after. Had they gotten married? Or not?
“To Yi Jing.” Ye Lanchen threw a quick glance at him before entering the car.
“Yes.” Secretary Liu understood within seconds that they had gotten married successfully. Yi Jing Villa was the President’s main place of residence. The President had instructed him to drop Madam off back home.
Without waiting for Ye Lanchen’s instruction, Chu Wuyou entered the car after him and positioned herself in the backseat.
Her cell phone rang a few seconds later.
Chu Wuyou’s eyes twinkled with brilliance upon seeing the name of the caller. Her Senior?
Why was Senior calling her at this time of the day? Did something bad happen?
“h.e.l.lo.” She picked up the call after a moment of hesitation and was in quite an awkward position because Ye Lanchen was sitting right beside her, hence she decided not to exchange greetings.
Ye Lanchen stole a glance at her out of the corner of his eyes.
“Zhixi said that you’re coming back today. What time is your flight?” The man on the other end of the phone had a thick and s.e.xy magnetic voice.
“Something’s changed and I can’t go back for the time being.” She had no choice but to fail her promise to Zhixi and the news would surely break her daughter’s heart. Chu Wuyou felt a pain in her chest at the thought of that.
Ye Lanchen narrowed his gaze upon hearing her discouraged voice. He had coincidentally turned around when her phone rang and could faintly read the called id that appeared on the screen; it was her Senior.
Was she acting pitifully while spilling her grievance at that Senior?!
Did she feel aggrieved because she was unable to reunite with her Senior, thanks to their marriage?
“Did something happen? Are you in danger?” There was a slight s.h.i.+ft of tone in the man’s voice coming from the other end of the call. It was subtle but already challenging his limit.
He understood her really well. She would exhaust all her strength to fulfill a promise made to her children unless she encountered something terrible that was out of her control.
“Nope.” Chu Wuyou yearned to hear her darlings’ voice, but Ye Lanchen was sitting right next to her. Besides, Secretary Liu was also present in the car.
She did not want many people to learn about her two darlings; she wished to protect them against all harm.
“I’m going to hang up now but call me back whenever it’s convenient for you.” The man from the other end of the phone noticed her complication and suggested ending the call.
Chu Wuyou clasped her fingers around the cell phone long after the phone call was hung up. She became disheartened at the thought of her darling girl weeping over her absence.
On the other hand, in the eyes of Ye Lanchen, her low-spirited behavior was translated as her longing toward that Senior.
Ye Lanchen’s slightly narrowed eyes appeared bitter.
Along the way, Ye Lanchen did not utter a word, neither did Chu Wuyou. Naturally, she would not disturb him if the latter did not take an initiative to start a conversation.
His regard turned into indifference.
Ye Lanchen did not get out of the car when they arrived at Yi Jing. Instead, he blurted a series of numbers – the pa.s.scode to the door.
Secretary Liu was quick to respond. Realizing the President’s unwillingness to leave, he got out of the car within seconds and a.s.sisted Chu Wuyou with the suitcase.
“Thanks,” she said with a gentle smile.
“Madam, I can help you with the suitcase…” Secretary Liu was thinking of lending her a hand.
However, before he could finish expressing his intention, he felt a cold stare that was piercing through his back. Almost immediately, Secretary Liu corrected himself. “Madam, the President has to attend an urgent meeting and we’re running late on…”
