My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss

Chapter 167: Young Master Ye Is Jealous (V)

Ye Lanchen’s eyes shone with brilliance. Evidently, he did not expect Chu Wuyou to listen to him and return the call obediently.

His expression softened visibly at her submissiveness.

The person on the other end of the phone, however, neither answered nor hung up the call.

This caught Chu Wuyou by surprise. Perhaps the other person did not hear the call?

Chu Wuyou knew that under normal circumstances, Zhixi should be waiting by the phone for her mother’s call, which meant the possibility of her previous speculation was low.

There was only one other likelihood – the phone had been switched off. There was no way Zhixi would do that hence it was highly probable that Zhimo was the person behind this.

“Elder Brother, why did you turn off the phone? I’m about to video call mommy once more.” On the other hand, dissatisfaction was written all over Zhixi’s face. Mommy had hung up on her and now her brother switched off the phone.

“Mommy must have hung up on you because of unexpected reasons. Mommy didn’t answer when you called again, which means she’s not in the right place to speak to you. Someone else is probably with her now so I had to switch off the phone, just in case.” Tang Zhimo had no choice but to explain patiently to his younger sister who was on the verge of crying.

‘Who’s with her? Who are we hiding from?” This caught Tang Zhixi by surprise. She seemed to understand the situation but not fully.

“Mommy’s husband.” Tang Zhimo frowned as he pondered.

“He should be our daddy if he’s mommy’s husband. Why should we hide from him?” Tang Zhixi became more baffled.

Tang Zhimo failed to come up with an explanation.

“Is it possible that mommy doesn’t care about us anymore, now that she’s got a husband? Mommy doesn’t come and play with me as often and she only accompanies her husband.” Tang Zhixi felt more aggrieved the more she thought about it. She pouted her tiny lips and tears filled her eyes quickly.

She thought initially that mommy getting a husband meant they would have a daddy. Turned out, it was mommy who was being kidnapped from her.

Tang Zhimo became anxious as her younger sister was on the verge of wailing. “Don’t you cry. We’ll find an opportunity to test him and see if he qualifies to be our daddy.”

“How?” Tang Zhixi who was about to cry suddenly became interested.

Tang Zhimo leaned in to whisper in her ear. Tang Zhixi, on the other hand, nodded enthusiastically and her eyes shone brighter. Eventually, a beautiful smile spread across her little face.

The person on the other end did not answer the call. Chu Wuyou waited until the call automatically disconnected.

“No one answered.” Chu Wuyou spread her hands in front of her innocently. Well, she was not the one to blame anymore.

Ye Lanchen watched her intently without making a sound. Who knew what was playing on his mind?

“Should I try again?” Chu Wuyou challenged, seeing as the man did not answer.

Of course, she knew that the results would be the same.

“Will someone answer now if you try again?” He stared at her with his half-narrowed eyes and an enigmatic expression washed over his face. He figured that the other party must have detected something and quickly switched the phone off. She could try calling again but it would be to no avail.

She posed the question deliberately albeit knowing the outcome! He gritted his teeth at her manipulation.

Chu Wuyou was still holding his gaze with quiet intensity. Her red lips parted slightly and she looked incredibly attractive. Ye Lanchen narrowed his gaze suddenly and threw himself at her.

Her body and mind reacted almost instinctively out of shock. Chu Wuyou rolled her body around and swiftly avoided his attack.

This was the instinctive reaction she learned from years of training. Her response was made at an extremely high speed because her first instinct was that he was going to hit her.

Ye Lanchen continued staring at her and his gaze darkened even more. Her speed was exceptional. A normal woman would not be as agile as her, therefore...

Chu Wuyou was stunned for a couple of seconds as she realized her response earlier was not appropriate.

Simultaneously, a notification was heard coming from Ye Lanchen’s phone. It was the special reminder that he established for a unique reason.

Ye Lanchen retrieved his phone and his eyes twinkled as he read the message.
