Chapter 175: The Consequences of Infuriating Third Young Master Ye (V)

“Me?” Chu Wuyou was taken aback by Ye Lanchen’s tone. She looked at the time and thought that Miss Meng should be accompanying him by now. She reckoned Ye Lanchen must have been calmed and comforted which was why she decided to pick up the call.

However, judging from the tone of his voice, his rage seemed to have grown more intense than before.

She already took the cue to leave the house in order to provide Ye Lanchen and Meng Ruoting some privacy. Why was he still in so much fury?

Unless, Miss Meng did not return?

“I don’t care where you are but I want you to appear in front of me within one hour.” Ye Lanchen interrupted her thoughts with the instruction. He did not want to hear her voice right now as it would only ignite the fire in him even more.

Chu Wuyou glanced at the phone after he hung up on her and then shifted her attention back to the little girl, Zhixi, who was now embracing her tightly.

“Mommy, you promised to accompany me tonight.” The sensitive little girl detected that someone was going to snatch her Mommy from her again. She tightened her grasp around her Mommy, afraid of losing the latter again.

Chu Wuyou’s eyes twinkled. Did Miss Meng leave? Was that why he was so exasperated?

If Meng Ruoting had indeed left the villa, would Chu Wuyou not be courting her own death if she returned?

Besides, throwing a quick glance at Zhixi, who was nestled in her arms, she knew that she could not leave even if she needed to.

She promised Zhixi that she would accompany her tonight. The little girl would be heartbroken if she failed to deliver on her promise again.

Chu Wuyou pondered for a few moments and, in the end, decided to make sense of the situation with Meng Ruoting.

“Darling, I need to make a phone call,” Chu Wuyou said to her darling Zhixi in a gentle voice.

“Mommy, you can’t leave. You promised you’d stay with me tonight.” Tang Zhixi tightened her grip even more. She pouted her tiny lips and tears began to form in her eyes.

“Mommy’s not leaving. I just need to make a phone call.” Chu Wuyou felt sorry for the child and she tried to coax her sweetly.

“Alright.” Tang Zhixi surrendered and let go of her mother.

Chu Wuyou reached for her cell phone and walked toward the balcony before calling Meng Ruoting.

A delightful beam spread across Meng Ruoting’s face as she discovered the caller ID that appeared on her phone. She did not answer the call immediately but flashed it in front of Ye Lanchen. “Sister-in-law is calling me. What do you think she’s going to say?”

Ye Lanchen’s eyes darkened and his face fell within seconds. The emotions that chased over his features in quick succession were frightening to watch.

He had called that woman and ordered her to come home but she was now trying to reach Ruoting instead? What was playing on her mind?

The beam on Meng Ruoting’s face became wider as she noticed the overcast on her brother’s face. She finally answered the call and deliberately activated the loudspeaker.

“Where are you, Miss Meng? Haven’t you returned to Yi Jing Villa?” Chu Wuyou cut to the chase and stated her business without unnecessary small talk.

“I’m here.” Meng Ruoting could not resist a smile when she glanced over at Ye Lanchen, who was standing next to her.

“Then why did Young Master Ye still sound so angry when he called me?” This caught Chu Wuyou by surprise. Why would Ye Lanchen still behave like a madman if Miss Meng had decided to stay?

Young Master Ye? Ye Lanchen’s eyes darkened at the sound of that.

Young Master Ye?! She was addressing him as husband last night, and now he was Young Master Ye in her eyes?

Was she really that anxious to cut ties with him?

“Because I can’t calm the fire surging in him,” Meng Ruoting intentionally gave an ambiguous remark.

“How is that possible? Besides you, no one else can calm him now.” Chu Wuyou was taken aback but she did not seem to catch the double innuendo. Chu Wuyou was truly slow-witted in this field.

“I’m already trying as hard as I can. What else can I do?” Meng Ruoting stole a glance at her brother again.

“He’ll be fine as long as you’re there.” Chu Wuyou suddenly realized Meng Ruoting’s explicit remarks and refused to comment further. It was their private matters, after all, and she should not be a part of that.

She did not return today because she intended to avoid any more embarrassing situations, such as the incident that happened this morning.

Her presence in the villa would only make things more awkward.

Which was why it baffled her. She was already being so thoughtful and considerate, so why on earth was Ye Lanchen still behaving like an unreasonable man?!

Ye Lanchen, who was listening to the conversation silently, was flushed in the face. If Chu Wuyou was standing right in front of him now, he would strangle her to death without a moment of hesitation.
