Chapter 69: Bite Him To Death (I)
Ye Lanchen lifted his gaze slowly to meet Chu Wuyou’s.
Secretary Liu stood nearby. He thought First Young Lady Chu’s acting appeared rather pompous and his lips twitched as if he was suppressing a smile. Nonetheless, for reasons unknown to himself, her acting integrated into the given circumstance harmoniously.
In spite of that, he was unable to pinpoint which aspect in particular.
Ye Lanchen held her gaze with quiet intensity.
“Third Young Master Ye, are you here to catch a flight too? Where are you heading to?” If he continued to remain silent, Chu Wuyou thought she could find a chance to sneak away after exchanging a few words of greetings.
In actuality, she realized she had gone over the top with the greetings earlier. They had only met once, after all.
Although it was true that they had discussed a marriage arrangement on their first encounter.
“I was waiting for you.” Ye Lanchen admitted finally, breaking the silence. The straightforward reply he provided left her with no room to save the situation.
“...”
Chu Wuyou was at a loss for words.
Although she had an inkling that he was trying to prevent her from leaving, his no-nonsense approach still hurt her feelings.
She truly did not want to revive this dead conversation.
Secretary Liu tried hard to stifle a laugh upon seeing the changing of expressions displayed on Chu Wuyou’s face. He must suppress that urge at this moment or he risked getting fired by the president before tomorrow.
“Let’s go.” Ye Lanchen averted his gaze and headed for the exit of the airport.
“Where to?” Desolated, Chu Wuyou demanded in a voice laced with dissatisfaction.
Where were they heading? Why did she have to listen to his order? She had a flight to catch, for goodness’ sake.
“The Chu Residence.” Ye Lanchen paused midway and turned toward her before explaining patiently.
However, it was obvious that his answer displeased Chu Wuyou.
“The Chu Residence? For what?” This caught her in surprise. He mentioned meeting at the Ministry of Civil Affairs yesterday but why did he change his mind all of a sudden?
She thought he would bring her directly to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
“To propose a marriage alliance.” Again, Ye Lanchen explained, even-tempered. His magnetic voice sounded melodious to the ears.
“To pro... Propose a marriage?” Chu Wuyou was completely dumbfounded when she noticed the solemn expression on his face.
In all seriousness?!
As she was reminded about her Grandpa’s exaggerated reaction from last night, she feared he would decide against her will if Ye Lanchen was to visit with the aforementioned proposal.
What if she tried to flee from his clutches? Escaping from this situation would not be a difficulty, given her professional ability.
With this idea sprouting in her mind, she turned sideways slightly and was shocked to find four bodyguards standing behind her in a uniform line. Evidently, that man came well prepared in advance.
Chu Wuyou was struck with a nasty surprise this time. She did not doubt for a second that upon her refusal, that man would instruct those bodyguards to tie her up by force immediately.
She believed that man would have the audacity to carry out an abduction in broad daylight!
Chu Wuyou was a feeble girl, did he really have to do this in the early morning? Not to mention the four bodyguards!
There was no chance she could run away under these circumstances.
She breathed in and out slowly several times to regain her composure.
“Is there room for negotiation?” A true woman knew when to keep a low profile and when to keep her head high. Chu Wuyou was quick to adapt and did not want to fight evil with evil.
She looked into his eyes tenderly while waiting for his reply.
However, ...
