Chapter 423: Third Young Master Ye Was Provoked (IV)

When that happened, not only Big Boss would be in trouble but also the Tang family. The Gu family had always secretly tried to crush the latter.

Later, when Gu Nan took a fancy to Big Boss, the Gu family had a change of mind and decided to keep the peace with the Tangs.

The Tang family only had one son per generation for several generations in a row. Tang Yuncheng was Elder Tang’s only son. In fact, he had another daughter but that little girl went missing at a very young age. No one had any idea where she was now.

Not many people knew about this.

The birth planning program was strict when Tang Yuncheng was young, thus he only had one son. That made Tang Ling the only child left on the family line.

Gu family figured a marriage between Gu Nan and Tang Ling would ensure the acquisition of the Tang family’s a.s.sets in the future. This was why they had been trying all sorts of ways to push Gu Nan nearer to Tang Ling.

The waterside pavilion gets the moonlight first. However, evidently, Tang Ling the “moon” was too high and distant from Gu Nan’s reach.

Tang Ling smiled all of a sudden as he glanced at Lil Hu. Had there been a time where he was afraid of someone else?

The Gu family had always thought the Tang family was feeble in numbers. They reckoned getting rid of Tang Ling would mean the end of a war.

They thought the Tang family was weak in numbers?!

Weak?!

Not only did they have more than just Tang Ling in the family, but they were also people of great strength too. It would be too late for the Gu family to cry over spilled milk if the Tangs decided to attack.

“Big Boss, what are you smiling for?” Lil Hu was stunned to see the other man smiled. This was the first time he witnessed such a rare occurrence. He thought the man looked rather handsome when he smiled.

The boss was a good-looking man to begin with. Incredibly handsome, to be fair, and he looked even better when smiling. Even Lil Hu, as a man, was enchanted by the smile. However, he could not fathom why the man was smiling at the moment.

“Happy,” the man replied.

“Happy?” Lil Hu became even more baffled. What did it mean?

The other man declined to answer this time though his eyes were suddenly filled with gentleness. It had been a long time since there was a jubilant occasion in the Tang family. He figured he should make it happen.

Lil Hu was certain the boss was genuinely delighted. Could it be possible that Big Boss had taken a liking to a woman?

Did he chase Gu Nan away because of this?

Lil Hu reckoned this was possible the more he thought about it.

Then, he saw his boss retrieving his cell phone to make a call immediately.

He thought the man was eager in going after the woman.

He had no idea his boss was actually calling Third Young Master Ye.

Ye Lanchen noticed the caller ID flas.h.i.+ng on his phone. He threw a glance at Chu Wuyou before accepting the call a couple of seconds later.

“Lil Three, when are you two coming back?” Tang Ling’s voice entered the speaker before Ye Lanchen could say anything.

“What’s wrong?” The latter was still a little skeptical about Tang Ling after the previous incident. This was because the other man showed too much eagerness toward anything relating to his wife.

The skepticism was audible in his deep voice.

Third Young Master Ye knew the other man would not enquire about his return unless it was important. Besides, the man mentioned the two of them instead of just him alone.

“Missing Wuyou. Tell me when you’re coming back. I’ll drop by to see her.” Tang Ling raised his eyebrows playfully as the corners of his lips twitched into a faint smile. He admitted that he had said that deliberately.
