My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss

Chapter 169: Young Master Ye Is Jealous (VII)

Chu Wuyou’s phone rang when she was about to open the door. Realizing it was Qin Yutong calling her, Chu Wuyou picked up the call almost immediately without any hesitation.

“Yutong, are you with the two darlings?” Chu Wuyou questioned impatiently before the other party could speak.

Chu Wuyou who was normally clearheaded became flustered at the well-being of her two children.

“Yes, they’re with me. What’s wrong? The darlings are watching TV. I just came back from throwing out the trash and realized I forgot to bring my phone. Did something happen?” Qin Yutong sounded confused.

“That’s good to hear. I tried calling them earlier but both their phones were turned off. You didn’t pick up your phone as well, so I got concerned.” Chu Wuyou finally released the breath she was not aware she was holding. She felt weak all over her body and leaned against the door for support.

“It was Zhimo who turned off both their phones. He mentioned something about an unexpected situation. Is everything alright at your end?”

“He’s not wrong. Ye Lanchen caught me speaking on the phone earlier whilst I was on a video call with Zhixi.” Chu Wuyou trembled slightly at the thought of the incident that happened earlier. She really did not want to expose her two darlings to anyone else.

“He knows about Zhixi?” Qin Yutong failed to suppress a shriek.

“No, he didn’t see Zhixi. We initiated another video call but it didn’t connect.”

“Darling Zhimo is truly amazing.” Qin Yutong was taken aback. She did not expect Zhimo’s speculation to turn out to be right.

Chu Wuyou was intending to visit her two darlings but Meng Ruoting’s voice suddenly entered her ears. The latter was probably speaking to someone over the phone though her voice was soft.

Thinking that Ye Lanchen would probably return soon since Meng Ruoting was home, Chu Wuyou suppressed her desire.

Tomorrow. She decided that she would pay her children a visit tomorrow.

It was already one o’clock in the morning when Ye Lanchen returned. He appeared evidently gloomy and his cold gaze was capable of sending shivers down one’s spine.

He headed upstairs and stopped outside of Chu Wuyou’s room. He tried to open the door yet to his dismay, the door was locked from the inside.

Ye Lanchen narrowed his eyes. How could she?

The next morning.

Meng Ruoting was awakened from her sleep because of the sound of a ringtone that filled her room.

“Mommy.” A delightful smile spread across her face as soon as she answered the call.

“You left for Jin City again? Didn’t I tell you many times that you shouldn’t head to Jin City to look for your…” The voice that came from the other end was laced with concern.

“Mommy, I’ve got exciting news. Elder Brother’s married.” Meng Ruoting, on the other hand, replied in a voice brimming with joy.

She knew without question that this unexpected news would catch Mommy’s attention.

“…”

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. The person finally came to after several moments. “What did you say? Your Elder Brother is married?”

Although she had left Jin City for over twenty years, she knew every matter concerning her son. How was it possible that he got married all of a sudden if he did not even have a girlfriend throughout the years?

Could it be possible that Elder Ye had forced him into one?

“Yup, yup, my Elder Brother’s married. My Sister-in-law is extremely fun and adorable. I really like her.” Meng Ruoting did not try to conceal her approval toward Chu Wuyou at all.

Meng Shiyao turned silent once again when she heard the girl’s reply. She knew her daughter better than anyone else and this was the first time the latter complimented a person in this manner.

“Your Elder Brother and her??” Meng Shiyao became hopeful again. Perhaps her son had chosen someone that he actually liked. After all, she was fully aware that her son could not be easily persuaded by Elder Ye anymore.
