Initially, Chu Wuyou reckoned this marriage was a win-win situation which allowed each to take what they required. She really thought Ye Lanchen had sought for a fake wife in order to inherit the family business. She, on the other hand, agreed to the arrangement because of her grandpa.
She stated clearly on the prenuptial agreement that they would divorce once he acquired the stock ownership of Ye family business. She wanted to assist him in achieving that goal quickly so they could divorce sooner.
However, judging at the turn of events, she realized things might have been way more complicated than she thought.
“Have you ever heard that honesty is the best policy whereas resistance only brings forth death?” He did not move back after biting her but leaned into her ears instead. Once again, he whispered some threatening words in an indifferent manner.
Chu Wuyou flinched at the acidity in his words. Was that the actual saying? Did he think that she was uncultured?
“I only know that complete honesty lands you in prison for life but concealing the whole truth guarantees a free life,” Chu Wuyou pursued her lips and replied nonchalantly.
She felt as if she had put into words perfectly the way she viewed her current position. Surely she would be tormented mercilessly once she confessed to him about everything, starting from the beginning.
Startled, Ye Lanchen pulled back from the side of her face and glared at her with his narrowed eyes.
He could not believe this woman would reply with perfect assurance as if justice was on her side!
His deathly stare as sharp as the blade seemed to intend to execute the woman right this instant. She would be dead by now if looks could kill.
Chu Wuyou could hear a faint sound of teeth grinding against each other violently. Perhaps she was only hallucinating.
He seemed to be infuriated.
Oh, no, he was unquestionably in rage!
A person would lose their calmness and ability to make judgments when they were furious, which in turn made them less threatening.
Of course, it was also easier for a person to act rashly when they were exasperated such as throwing punches! Would he?
Would she strike back if he started a fight? Could she? She should, right?
Chu Wuyou thought about it when Ye Lanchen turned around and left through the door without a word.
Once he was outside, Ye Lanchen yanked at his tie angrily as if it was the reason that made him feel suffocated. The tie was hanging loosely around his neck right now yet he did not feel more at ease.
Ye Lanchen sucked air through his teeth as he remembered the murderous intent toward that woman that was currently playing through his mind.
What was the point of marrying her? Did he marry her so she could irritate him to death?
This calm man who almost never lost his temper was really in a full rage because of that woman.
He tried to regain his composure before retrieving his cell phone.
The other person picked up the call several seconds later.
“Lanchen, what’s the matter?” The man sounded mature and gentle yet displaying a resolute boldness.
“Big Brother, I want to know the woman’s identity.” Ye Lanchen cut to the chase without wasting a second. Big Brother must know all about her since it was he who introduced her.
He wanted to learn about the woman’s identity. He wished to know if she was the same woman that he had married him for the sole purpose of irritating him to death.
“…”
There was dead silence on the other end of the phone. The former had probably learned about what happened earlier today in the police station. It was evident that the Big Brother knew exactly what Ye Lanchen was talking about.
