My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss

Chapter 43



Chapter 43: Beaming With Joy

Ye Lanchen’s gaze darkened for one brief moment, and the temperature in the elevator seemed to have dropped.

Secretary Liu had been by Ye Lanchen’s side for many years. He could immediately sense the change in the President’s expression.

He was terrified when he noticed the President’s cold, hard gaze.

‘What’s going on with the President?’

‘Is he angry?’

Secretary Liu thought that it was normal for the President to be angry. After all, the President went into the elevator without warning. He believed that it was because of Chu Wuyou.

A short while ago, Chu Wuyou ignored the President completely. A single phone call led to a wide smile across her face. She looked happy, contented and was beaming with joy. Judging from her expression, anyone would know that whoever the caller was, must be someone very important to her.

The difference between her expressions before and after the phone call was too big.

Anyone would be angry.

Nevertheless, Secretary Liu seldom witnessed the President’s fury despite being by his side for many years. The President usually would not reveal any of his emotions, let alone anger.

He felt that the President seemed different today.

Chu Wuyou did not notice what was happening beside her as she was enjoying the conversation with her daughter. The elevator then stopped. Chu Wuyou wanted to let Ye Lanchen leave first but he remained standing at the same spot.

Chu Wuyou was stunned but she did not give it much thought. She walked past Ye Lanchen and exited the elevator.

“Mommy, when are you coming back? You’ve been gone for so long. Brother and I hope that you’ll come back soon,” drawled Tang Zhixi affectionately at the other end of the phone.

“Mm, I’ll be back soon.” Chu Wuyou got out of the elevator. Her tender voice was coated with a hint of a smile. Ye Lanchen was completely ignored behind her.

He was obviously none of her concern.

He twitched his brows when he overheard her reply.

Chu Wuyou got into her car. She adjusted her seat and continued to chat with her kids instead of driving off hastily. There was apparently nothing more important than to talk to her two children.

She did not notice Ye Lanchen right from the beginning.

He did not give the order to drive after getting into his car. Secretary Liu was a quick-witted fellow. He could tell what was about to happen although he could not read the President’s mind.

He decided to wait as the President did not give him the order to drive.

There was a distance between the two cars at the parking lot but there was no obstacle between them.

Ye Lanchen could observe Chu Wuyou as he sat in his car. She had rolled down her car window since she was prepared for a long conversation.

He could see her clearly. He might not have been able to hear what Chu Wuyou said but he could see the obvious, lasting smile on her face.

The air around him grew colder.

However, his car window blocked the view from the outside to the inside.

Time gradually passed and Chu Wuyou had no intention of hanging up. Secretary Liu was getting impatient.

What kind of a phone call would take so long and lead to a face exuding happiness and contentment? Secretary Liu guessed that it was a call from a lover.

Secretary Liu stole a glance at the President but he realized that there was no emotion on the latter’s cool face. His eyes were almost shut and he seemed to be resting.

Secretary Liu’s lips twitched. He neither dared to speak nor breathe.

He had a sudden feeling that the President looked scarier this way. He only hoped now that First Young Lady Chu would end the conversation as soon as possible.

Secretary Liu wondered what the President would do once First Young Lady Chu hung up.

Chu Wuyou’s phone conversation lasted for nearly an hour. Her daughter had not seen her for a very long time. It made her particularly clingy.
