Chapter 179: Bite Her To Death

Chu Wuyou was in utter shock. She was confident that Ye Lanchen would be at work by now. Why was he home?

Besides, why did he grab her so abruptly?

Was he attempting to get even for yesterday?

Anyway, Meng Ruoting came home in the end so he was probably in good company last night.

Chu Wuyou raised her head to meet his gaze. He appeared as indifferent as usual yet there was an expression on his face she could not quite place.

At this moment, she could not discern too much emotions from his eyes. The fury and coldness in his eyes from last night had disappeared and was now replaced by a peculiar calmness.

“Don’t you have work today?” Chu Wuyou heaved a sigh silently. The calmness that spread across his face made her heart pound.

The corners of Ye Lanchen’s lips twitched into a faint smile at the sound of that. “I was waiting for you.”

It appeared that she had decided to come home at this time deliberately because she thought he would be at work by now.

Well, it seemed she had given a lot of thought to it!!!

Therefore, he made the smart choice to wait for her at home, instead of going to work.

He discovered she had left in such a hurry yesterday that she forgot to bring her wallet. This was why he decided to ambush her at home because he was sure she would come home to retrieve the wallet.

“Wait for me?” Chu Wuyou was caught by surprise. Had he stayed home instead of going to work just for her?

“Why were you waiting for me?” She was a little fl.u.s.tered to be treated with such honor.

“What do you think?” Ye Lanchen’s eyes twinkled a little when he posed the question. His voice was still outrageously gentle.

“…”

Chu Wuyou shook her head softly because she truly had no idea. She could not believe that he would miss work just to wait for her to come home.

“I need to calm the fire surging in me.” An enigmatic smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.

His words were laced with a deliberate ambiguity yet they also sounded like a reminder. He wanted to remind her that he had listened to the conversation between her and Meng Ruoting last night.

Chu Wuyou was sensitive to anything not involving romantic emotions. She understood him immediately and realized he was there when she called Meng Ruoting last night. It was highly possible that he had heard their entire conversation.

It did not matter because she had nothing to hide anyway. If he had listened to the conversation, should he not be thanking her now, for her thoughtfulness and consideration?

Of course, this proved that he was indeed with Meng Ruoting last night.

He was leaning so close to her at this moment that his breath struck her cheeks in warm puffs. She was welcomed by his breath reeking of alcohol.

Had he been drinking? In the early morning?

Ye Lanchen was a highly disciplined man. He did not seem the type that would drink in the early morning.

She was allergic to alcohol thus his breath, which stank of alcohol, was making her head swim again.

Chu Wuyou wanted to run away but she was being pressed against the wall and there was no other way to escape.

“Where’s Miss Meng?” She tried to recollect her composure and suddenly remembered that Meng Ruoting had stayed over the previous night. However, it seemed like he was home alone. It was strange that Meng Ruoting was not here.

Ye Lanchen, on the other hand, came to another conclusion. He connected the dots by linking her response to what he had said earlier.

He mentioned that he needed to calm the fire surging in him and she was wondering where Meng Ruoting was.

His eyes narrowed though he declined to comment. He lowered his head to place his lips on her neck. Then, he parted his lips and bit down on her soft skin.

“Ouch…” Chu Wuyou cried out in alarm. Was he born in the year of the dog? He sure seemed to like biting people without warning. “Why did you bite me?”

“I didn’t marry a woman so she could be an eye-candy.” Ye Lanchen whispered into her ear with his lips slightly parted. His moist breath felt warm against her skin as he made his intention explicitly clear.

“But you don’t have to bite her either,” Chu Wuyou replied almost instinctively. By then, she was already lightheaded and could not think properly.

He was stunned for a couple of seconds but soon, a grin spread across his face. “Hmm, you’re right. Naturally, I didn’t get married so I can bite my wife. There’s something else that’s more important.”
