Chapter 227: Chu Wuyou’s Ident.i.ty Was Completely Exposed (VIII)

Chu Wuyou had left without a word. She could have at least informed Ye Lanchen with a quick phone call.

The man decided to call her on the cell phone. “Where did you go?” he inquired in a deep voice as soon as she answered.

“I’m accompanying a colleague to close a business deal.” She raised her brows slightly upon hearing his voice.

“Close a deal? You?” Ye Lanchen frowned. Why was she a.s.signed to close a deal on her first day of work?

Could it be possible that she was deliberately avoiding him?

“I’m not sure the details either but it’s an order from the leader. Naturally, I have to follow the orders now that I’m a part of the company. I might be home slightly later today.” Her voice came out a little happy as she suddenly realized she had made the right choice by leaving the office early.

Besides, she was going to discuss official business for his company thus she replied with perfect a.s.surance.

“Where are you? Who’s with you?” Ye Lanchen enquired through gritted teeth as he detected the hint of delight in her voice. That woman was indeed intentionally trying to avoid him.

“Leave it. I’m busy,” Chu Wuyou answered in an imposing manner before hanging up abruptly.

She tried to suppress a laugh as she imagined the frustrated expression on his face at that moment. It was a great feeling. Hah! He should have expected this when he forced her to go to work today.

“Family?” Liu Qin questioned after the woman ended the phone call.

“Yes.” Chu Wuyou’s eyes twinkled. She and Ye Lanchen were officially married thus he was legally her family member.

She did not comment further as she understood Liu Qin’s intention.

Chu Wuyou knew full well that those people would not give up even if she turned down the appointment today. Unquestionably, they would plan another scheme against her soon. She might as well deal with it today to avoid more troubles in the future.

Ye Lanchen stared blankly at the phone. Emotions chased over his features in quick succession when he was reminded of what the woman said just before she hung up on him.

Was she not too puffed up with pride and arrogance?

She was definitely in need of a good scolding!

Simultaneously, the man’s phone rang out of the blue.

“Third Elder Brother, where are you? Big Brother is back and we’re all in Leng Jue. You should come over too.” Fifth Young Master Shen’s voice blasted through the phone in the next second.

“Why is he back again?” Ye Lanchen had been treating Tang Ling coldly ever since their last encounter. Besides, he had just been hung up on by the woman hence the words escaped his throat rather harshly.

“Huh?” Fifth Young Master Shen was stunned by confusion. “Um, are you coming or not then, Third Elder Brother?”

“Yes.” He agreed eventually, thinking that he would not want to return to an empty house.

Ye Lanchen was aware that Chu Wuyou was mad at him for forcing her to go to work today. He decided to let her have fun if she desired.

Given her capability, he was not worried that anyone could bully her.

No one else would be able to bully the woman if even he was always infuriated by her.

Tang Ling was already in the room when Ye Lanchen arrived in Leng Jue. However, the latter did not greet the other man.

Fifth Young Master Shen who stepped into the room slightly later appeared astonished when he encountered Ye Lanchen. “Third Elder Brother, I think I saw Chu Wuyou just now. She went into private room number 008 with a man,” he said in a whisper.

Ye Lanchen’s eyes narrowed immediately. She went into a private room with a man?

A man? Who was that man?
