Chapter 214: Caught In The Act By Third Young Master Ye (IV)

Chu Wuyou had been accompanying darling Zhixi in the following days because the little girl still had not fully recovered from the cold.

The woman would make a phone call to Ye Lanchen around five o’clock every evening to enquire about the time of his return. After that, she would tuck the two children in bed before leaving. By doing so, she could ensure to always return to the villa about half an hour earlier than the man.

Ye Lanchen had always been a punctual person thus he would generally return home at the same time he mentioned earlier that day.

This was why she was able to arrive home every evening at the right time without fail.

The man had been occupied with other affairs most of these nights hence he was only able to return home late at night.

Chu Wuyou was always “sleeping” when he returned home and would still be in bed by the time he left the house in the morning.

She did that deliberately to reduce b.u.mping into the man in the hope that he would not always be thinking of her if they did not see each other that often.

Perhaps that would in turn weaken his desire to investigate her background all the time.

She was occupied with looking after darling Zhixi these few days thus she did not have time to scheme about how to acquire the stock owners.h.i.+p of the Ye Company. This was why she had been behaving with extra cautiousness lately.

Several days had pa.s.sed and things seemed to be within her control.

However, Aunt Li had been looking at her strangely albeit not making further comments.

“Husband, what time will you come home today?” Chu Wuyou made the routine phone call to Ye Lanchen as usual. It seemed that darling Zhixi had recovered almost entirely.

The corners of her lips curled into a smile subconsciously upon witnessing her two children playing together happily.

“I have a social dinner tonight. Ten o’clock.” He seemed to have grown accustomed to her daily phone calls. Evidently, he did not dislike this routine.

Even if he felt frustrated to discover her sleeping soundly every time he returned.

“Hmm, okay.” Her voice still sounded gentle like normal.

His eyes twinkled after hanging up the call. He had gone home late at night ever since returning from Country M, only to discover each time that she had already fallen asleep by the time he arrived home.

He considered this for a brief moment and dialed the internal connection to Secretary Liu. “Cancel all of my appointments for tonight.”

The man suddenly did not feel like attending social events tonight. He desired to head home early…

Chu Wuyou had no idea about his unexpected change of heart.

“He’s going home at ten o’clock tonight. That gives me just enough time to help darling Zhixi to a shower and coax her to sleep.” She sounded evidently relaxed after ending the phone call. Although darling Zhixi was almost fully recovered from the cold, the little girl became extremely clingy and would cry aloud if she did not see her mother nearby around bedtime.

Fortunately, Ye Lanchen had been going home rather late these few days hence that provided her ample time to coax the little girl to sleep before heading back to the villa.

“Well, you’ve been playing hide and seek with Ye Lanchen these past few days. Aren’t you worried to be exposed if he decided to go home early one day?” A mischievous smile spread across Qin Yutong’s face as she regarded her friend. “It’s as if both of you are partic.i.p.ating in guerrilla warfare.”

“Ye Lanchen’s always been a punctual man and he would reach home at the time he said he would.” Chu Wuyou was confident about this because these past few days were sufficient to prove her inference.

Ye Lanchen had returned home these few nights almost exactly on the time he promised.

“What if? What if he decides to go home earlier one day?” Qin Yutong pouted. “Besides, aren’t you worried that your housekeeper would tell on you?”

“Aunt Li didn’t go on my back the first day Ye Lanchen returned, thus the probability of her exposing me now is minimal, unless he questions her first.” Chu Wuyou had observed Aunt Li prior to this and she figured the latter was a little intimidated by Ye Lanchen. She believed Aunt Li would not tell on her unless the man posed the question first.

“Well, that better be the case. I don’t even dare to imagine what the consequences would be if something happens out of control and Ye Lanchen finds out about the truth.” Qin Yutong stuck her tongue out silently. She was actually afraid and really wished her friend would succeed in keeping this a secret from Ye Lanchen.
