Chapter 82 - Darlings Are Back, A Chance Encounter At The Airport
“I’m going away on business tomorrow. I’ll be back in three days.” Ye Lanchen announced and left the room after that.
Chu Wuyou caressed her face after he left. The corners of her lips curled upward upon sensing the faint smell of chemicals that lingered in the air. This man was not to be looked down upon because it was difficult for a common person to get their hands on this particular chemical, unless…
Indeed, this particular chemical could remove the freckles on her face.
However, due to the nature of her skeptical attitude, she had added a thin layer of translucent, wax-like gel on her face to prepare for emergencies like this. This kind of gel was ultrathin hence its texture felt almost indistinguishable from human skin.
The gel was waterproof thus the chemical from earlier could not seep through.
Fortunately, the dim light in the room and that phone call that arrived in the nick of the time had rescued her.
His actions from earlier were enough to prove his suspicion toward the authenticity of the freckles on her face.
None other apart from her two darlings and her Senior knew about this.
How did Ye Lanchen find out?
She remembered revealing her real appearance to the taxi driver from five years ago. That man would learn about this if he managed to get hold of the driver.
Therefore, was Ye Lanchen really that man from five years ago?
Was it him? Could it be?
Chu Wuyou felt absolutely terrified all of a sudden.
Although Ye Lanchen was away on a business trip for the next three days, Chu Wuyou was extraordinarily careful in her every move. She almost spent all those days indoor at the villa.
She could not allow Ye Lanchen to find out the truth.
“Wuyou, there’s something I have to tell you, but promise me that you’ll stay calm.” On the early morning of the third day, Qin Yutong reached out to Chu Wuyou through the phone.
“What’s the matter?” Judging from the other person’s nervous tone, Chu Wuyou knitted her brows and was expecting unfortunate news.
“Um, I brought your darlings back home.” Qin Yutong exhaled slowly as she glared at Tang Zhimo who was standing by her side. “I returned to Country M for a personal matter and visited the two darlings. Who would have guessed that these two followed me to the airport without me knowing. Tang Zhimo had even purchased the flight tickets. They said that they would find another way to come see you if I refuse to bring them along.”
“Seeing as you’re not in Country M yourself, I’m afraid that these two darlings would do something silly after I left. What if something terrible happens to them?” Qin Yutong’s voice was laced with obvious annoyance. “Besides, this little lad Zhimo stole my phone to make sure I don’t have a chance to notify you in advance hence I…”
“Do you mean that you’re already at Jin City airport?” Chu Wuyou heaved a sigh as she arrived at the conclusion.
“Yup, Zhixi is asleep so there might be some delay. Do you want to come over…” Qin Yutong was struggling to carry Tang Zhixi with one arm.
“I’ll head over to the airport right away.” Chu Wuyou sounded impatient but there was also a hint of excitement in her tone. She felt like leaping up and down in joy right now, knowing that she could see both her darlings soon.
She did not want to let her two darlings come back to Jin City because she wanted to protect them from harm. However, it would be a long while until she could fly over to Country M, now that she was married to Ye Lanchen. There was no chance she could abandon both her darlings in Country M without ensuring they were in good hands.
It was not for the worst, she realized, for that both her darlings had come home with Yutong. Nonetheless, she needed to come up with the perfect plan to take care of them both.
For caution’s sake, she did not drive herself but took a taxi to the airport.
Coincidentally, Ye Lanchen was leaving the airport by the time she arrived. Anxious, she who was walking in great strides did not notice the former. On the other hand, she was spotted by Ye Lanchen.
Ye Lanchen paused in his tracks. He narrowed his gaze upon seeing her entering the airport looking agitated. What was she doing at the airport?
Her antsy attitude revealed that something was up!
He was eager to find out what else she was hiding from him.
