Chapter 88 - Does Her Son Look Like Him? (II)
Chu Wuyou should be leaping in joy upon seeing both her darlings approaching; instead, she was starting to get worried.
She knew that Ye Lanchen was a smart man with a scheming mind. It would not be an easy feat to fool him and one wrong move might result in her courting her own death.
Chu Wuyou could not allow him any chance to reinforce his doubts.
After exhaling deeply, Chu Wuyou searched for Ye Lanchen’s phone number and pressed the dial button.
Ye Lanchen who was standing not far behind from her narrowed his gaze when his phone rang. He waited for the ringtone to ring three times before picking up.
“Hello.” His deep, magnetic voice was unusually melodious to the ears. As per usual, not much emotion was detected in his tone.
Chu Wuyou’s lips twitched when she failed to uncover any emotion in his voice. He was a great actor. There he was, stalking her, but managed to pretend as if nothing strange had happened.
“Husband, didn’t you say that you’ll return today? Has your flight landed yet?” Chu Wuyou’s cheerful voice was laced with enthusiastic expectation.
“Huh?” Ye Lanchen was taken aback by the surprise.
Not just by the words that she said, but also the sentiment transmitted through the phone along with her voice. It was exactly the kind of passion that would take over a wife who was anticipating her husband’s return.
This was completely out of his expectation.
“I’ve been waiting for your arrival since early morning, hoping to surprise you, but I can’t seem to locate you.” Chu Wuyou pretended to look around frantically but in actuality, she was trying to remove herself from Qin Yutong and Zhixi’s line of vision.
If Zhixi were to spot her in that instant, there was no doubt she would run toward Chu Wuyou right away while shouting “Mommy.” All hell would break loose when that happened.
Tang Zhimo was observing everything in silence. His cautious gaze that landed on Ye Lanchen was inquisitive but he seemed to understand something seconds later.
It was obvious that the man knew mommy and their relationship was unusual. Extremely unusual!
Upon watching Chu Wuyou’s anxious appearance, a complicated emotion flashed across Ye Lanchen’s eyes.
To pick him up? Hoping to surprise him?
“Husband, is it because I got the wrong time?” Chu Wuyou’s voice was laced with evident disappointment. She stopped looking around and lowered her head in dismay.
Chu Wuyou knew that Ye Lanchen was behind her, observing her every move.
Something changed inside the depth of Ye Lanchen’s eyes. At last, he said, “Turn around.”
Chu Wuyou followed his instruction as a matter of course. She searched around before finally landing her gaze on Ye Lanchen and immediately sprinted toward him in delight.
“Husband, it turns out you’re already here. Why hadn’t I seen you earlier?” Chu Wuyou looked into his eyes, her face brimming with enthusiasm.
Ye Lanchen held her gaze with quiet intensity while trying to catch a lie. However, her natural and sincere smile did not give away anything.
“Give me your phone.” Ye Lanchen shifted his gaze from her bright smile toward her phone.
He remembered watching her make an outgoing phone call when she first arrived at the airport and another incoming call came in moments later. Therefore, the phone must be loaded with key evidence that he was confident to unearth.
Chu Wuyou was seized with terror and a heavy feeling weighed upon her chest. She knew that she could not fool this man easily. On her phone was…
