“What happened?” Hongling was eager to hear some juicy gossip although she was truly concerned. She knew that not many things were able to affect Chu Wuyou’s emotions.
“Not much, really. Someone set me up with a jerk that wanted to assault me. I’ve already sorted it out.” Chu Wuyou revealed the truth as she pouted.
She always felt like a little child in front of Senior Hongling. She was grateful for the support both her seniors provided her all these years.
She had long treated them as her family thus she would not deliberately disguise her feelings in front of them, especially with Senior Hongling.
The two of them had a really close relationship.
“Who’s bold enough to set their eyes on you?” Hongling’s tone was laced with playfulness instead of worry. Was the person thinking of bullying Chu Wuyou asking for death?
“When will you be back? I miss you and the two darlings,” Hongling said again.
“Not just yet.” Chu Wuyou heaved a heavy sigh. She also wished she could return sooner but she had no other alternative.
“Because of your temporary husband.” A playful smile spread across Hongling’s face.
“Yup.” Chu Wuyou puckered her red lips before revealing a smile. “He’s still legally my husband although just temporarily. There’s still eleven more months to go before the contract expires.”
She suddenly felt like time passed by unbelievably slow. It had only been less than a month since she married Ye Lanchen although it felt like a lifetime.
“Ha, you still have to suffer for quite a while.” Hongling failed to suppress her laughter on the other end of the phone.
Over in the other room, Ye Lanchen’s face darkened gradually. Temporary husband?
She only regarded him as a temporary husband. Besides, she sounded as if she was eager for the contract to end?!
The woman made it sound like one day with him seemed like a year.
Well, well, well. Ye Lanchen believed he could actually strangle Chu Wuyou to death if she was standing in front of him right now.
The other men dared not utter a word upon discovering the emotions that chased over Ye Lanchen’s face.
Although they knew that their marriage was unusual, the term temporary husband was rather heartless…
They used to think that Chu Wuyou was not a good match to Ye Lanchen, but it seemed like the woman totally refused to acknowledge the man as someone important.
It appeared that she thought nothing more of their contract marriage.
Ye Lanchen picked up his phone again to call the woman. Of course, the phone line was occupied at the moment but Chu Wuyou would still receive a reminder on her side.
She glanced at the other incoming call quickly and frowned. Instead of answering Ye Lanchen’s call, she continued conversing with “Senior.”
Chu Wuyou reckoned it should be alright to ignore the man since she was in the middle of another conversation.
Through narrowed eyes, he stared intently at the woman on the security footage, as if eager to eat her alive.
She took a glance at the phone and noticed that Ye Lanchen had called. However, she pretended to have no clue and instead continued speaking “tenderly and affectionately” with that “Senior.”
Nice one!
Everyone around Ye Lanchen gasped in astonishment.
