My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss Chapter 213 - Caught In The Act By Third Young Master Ye (III)

Chapter 213: Caught In The Act By Third Young Master Ye (III)

“He said he’ll be home after eleven o’clock, which means I can take my leave after coaxing darling Zhixi to sleep,” Chu Wuyou explained.

“Hmm, that’s not too bad then. I can accompany darling Zhixi to sleep after you leave.” Qin Yutong was still a little bit concerned. The little girl had been throwing tantrums before bed lately due to discomfort brought by the fever. There was no doubt she would cry if her mother was not present.

Chu Wuyou only left by a taxi after ensuring Zhixi had fallen asleep later that night. It was already a little past ten o’clock by the time she arrived at the villa. However, she was surprised to notice that the lights were on. Ye Lanchen told her that he would be home after eleven o’clock. Was it possible that he had come home ahead of the agreed-upon time?

If he returned earlier and found out that she was not home, would he…

She was pondering over the possibilities when the door suddenly opened.

“Madam?” A middle-aged woman stepped out of the house enthusiastically. “I’m Aunt Li. The one that Sir hired to look after Madam?”

“When did you start?” This surprised Chu Wuyou. She never expected Ye Lanchen to hire someone to look after her when he was away on a business trip. She did not even return home in the past few days.

“I came here two days ago,” Aunt Li, who was still grinning from ear to ear, answered naturally without thinking too much into it.

“Hmm, you should rest. I’m heading to my room now,” Chu Wuyou replied curtly in a soft voice. Sometimes, the more a person tried to explain something, the messier it would get. Therefore, she did not mention anything about her absence in the house these past few days and went straight into her room instead.

Aunt Li was stunned for a couple of seconds but did not comment further.

“Where’s Madam?” It was already half-past twelve in the morning when Ye Lanchen returned. He frowned slightly upon discovering only Aunt Li came to receive him.

“Madam’s gone back to the room.” Aunt Li appeared reserved when speaking to the man. Her lips parted as if intending to continue speaking but those words failed to escape her throat when she discovered the man’s overcast face.

Ye Lanchen lifted his head to glance over at Chu Wuyou’s room before heading upstairs. The door was not locked hence he pushed it open easily. However, he noticed she was already sleeping soundly on the bed.

The man heaved a deep sigh. He thought she enquired about the time of his return because she wished to pick him up or maybe wait for him to arrive home but…

Indeed, the man named Tang was a capable person. The man created such ma.s.sive trouble for Ye Lanchen that he did not have time to rest properly in the past three days.

However, the man had been completely inactive back in Jin City. It was as if Tang had vanished into thin air entirely.

In spite of that, Ye Lanchen knew that the man was definitely still in Jin City. Ye Lanchen was aware of the psychological warfare that the man was playing.

Naturally, the man would not give away his position if all he did was retreat into silence. It was undoubtedly a strenuous task to look for a quiet man in a ma.s.sive place like Jin City.

Not to forget that staying hidden was one of Tang’s specializations.

Nonetheless, the man named Tang could not hide in the darkness forever, unless he desired to never step out of Jin City for the rest of his life.

They were both now staying put in Jin City. There was no need for Ye Lanchen to get impatient if the man named Tang stayed unperturbed.

However, upon discovering Chu Wuyou who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Ye Lanchen had the urge to run forward to kiss her until she woke up.

It was already late at night, and he still had not acquired any confirmation from the investigation launched. He decided he would get even with her patiently once he obtained concrete evidence.
