My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss Chapter 61 - Is He Jealous?

Chapter 61: Is He Jealous?

“That’s right. Sis asked Grandpa to bring her home as soon as she recovered. She claimed to still be in love with Big Brother He and begged Grandpa to pull a few strings so that they could get married. However, Grandpa was reluctant, hence he threw this banquet for Sis in the hope that she would find a more suitable marriage candidate. Yet, from the looks of it, Sis only has eyes for Big Brother He, since she hasn’t interacted with other people in the banquet apart from him.” An idea rose in Chu Ninger’s mind as she seemed to figure out something from what Fifth Young Master Shen said earlier. She then proceeded to fabricate a web of lies while keeping a straight face.

“It’s evident that Sis has truly invested her heart in Big Brother He. Not long ago, we were caught in a misunderstanding involving him and Sis is still angry with me even until now.” Chu Ninger pursed her lips slightly, her face a pinched mask of grievance.

It was obvious to Fifth Young Master Shen, who was the chief of police, that Chu Ninger was feeding him false information. Besides, he had witnessed the whole process of that aforementioned incident on the third floor with his own eyes.

“Third Elder Brother, let’s go and have a drink. Sitting next to this disgusting person is making me sick.” Fifth Young Master Shen truly did not have compa.s.sion for women.

The vicious remark came out exceptionally loud and clear.

A sudden burst of laughter escaped people’s mouths when they realized Fifth Young Master Shen’s insult was directed at Chu Ninger.

Both Fifth Young Master Shen and Ye Lanchen slowly approached the bar.

Fifth Young Master Shen stood next to He Yufei, whereas Ye Lanchen sat down beside him instead of positioning himself next to Chu Wuyou.

“Young Master He, cheers.” Fifth Young Master Shen tipped his gla.s.s to He Yufei although his gaze was focused on Chu Wuyou who was sitting by the latter’s side.

He Yufei was taken aback by the toast proposed by Fifth Young Master Shen. Several others had approached him earlier for the same reason but had been politely declined. However, he could not refuse Fifth Young Master Shen.

“Get me a gla.s.s.” He Yufei was unable to move hence he had no alternative but to seek a.s.sistance from Chu Wuyou.

With her brows tightly knitted, it was obvious that Chu Wuyou did not want to follow his order. However, the corners of her lips curled upward into a cunning smile when she caught a glimpse of the quart of beer nearby. Immediately, she pushed it across the table toward He Yufei. “You should drink beer as it keeps you sober for longer.”

Ye Lanchen clasped his fingers around the handle of his gla.s.s ever so slightly. Yet, the icy expression on his face remained unchanged.

Br.i.m.m.i.n.g with anger, He Yufei suppressed the urge to strangle her to death. This woman served him beer albeit knowing full well of his urgent desire to use the washroom.

Only He Yufei knew that she was messing with him. In the eyes of an outsider, Chu Wuyou was only being “considerate” by stopping him from getting drunk.

“Fifth Young Master Shen prefers liquor.” He Yufei hinted at Chu Wuyou again, thinking the latter would comprehend the innuendo behind his words.

“Oh,” Chu Wuyou muttered as if she had understood. Then, she handed another quart of beer over to Fifth Young Master Shen.

Dumbfounded, He Yufei felt a pain in his chest as if he was going to cough up blood. That woman did it on purpose. He feared that after downing this much beer at once, he would really lose control of himself and succ.u.mb to the desire to empty his bladder right there and then.

However, only the two of them knew each other’s true intentions. To anyone else, particularly to the man seated nearby, it appeared that she had his best interests at heart.

Ye Lanchen’s eyes turned green with jealousy and the icy expression on his face became more p.r.o.nounced.
