Secretary Liu slowed his car down instinctively upon seeing the taxi pulling to a halt. He fixed his gaze onto the taxi when its door to the backseat was opened. He dared not blink even for a second.
It was the same for Ye Lanchen whose eyes stared ahead with quiet intensity…
The door was pushed open and the woman’s head poked through the gap. Her hair that fell over her shoulder was similar to that of Chu Wuyou.
The upper half of her body was also revealed; the color of her top was exactly the same as the one that Chu Wuyou was wearing, too.
However, Secretary Liu was dumbfounded when that woman stepped out of the car completely.
Ye Lanchen narrowed his gaze abruptly and laughed coldly on the inside. As expected, Secretary Liu was not an equal match to that sly woman.
Secretary Liu said that he had witnessed the woman entering the taxi with his own eyes and that the car had not stopped during the whole journey.
There was only one possibility that could explain the situation; Chu Wuyou had not entered the taxi since the beginning.
Turned out, the truth was as Ye Lanchen had predicted.
In fact, Chu Wuyou realized she was being followed the minute she exited Ye Company. As luck would have it, she came across a woman whose hairstyle was similar to her own. Besides, the woman was also wearing a top in the exact same color as herself. Therefore, Chu Wuyou paid the aforementioned woman five hundred bucks for her cooperation. Of course, it did not take much to deceive Secretary Liu.
Chu Wuyou had already arrived at Qin Yutong’s house long before then.
Qin Yutong’s house was only a stone’s throw away from the Ye Company. It was easily reachable by foot as it was across the shopping street.
“Mommy, you lied again.” The aggrieved Tang Zhixi was already in tears by the time Chu Wuyou arrived.
“Be good, darling. I’m here now.” Chu Wuyou felt her heart being crushed into pieces. She pulled the little girl into her embrace immediately and comforted her gently.
Fortunately, Tang Zhixi was not a crybaby like the other girls. She only wept for a few seconds upon seeing her mother and started smiling once she was safe in the latter’s arm.
“Zhixi, go to the room with your brother. I need to speak to your mommy.” Now that Tang Zhixi was all smiles again, Qin Yutong was hoping she could inquire about their circumstances.
“Oh, okay.” Tang Zhixi had always been an obedient girl. She nodded quickly and leaped to her feet.
“Mommy, can I have your phone?” Tang Zhimo’s eyes twinkled with brilliance and he leaned in to fish for Chu Wuyou’s cell phone.
Tang Zhimo had always played with her phone so Chu Wuyou agreed without giving it a second thought.
“Tell me everything.” Qin Yutong began her investigation as soon as the children entered the room.
On the other hand, Tang Zhimo had unlocked his mother’s phone and found Ye Lanchen’s phone number.
“Elder Brother, what are you doing?” Tang Zhixi suddenly jumped on her brother because the latter had been ignoring her to fiddle with their mother’s phone.
At that moment, Ye Lanchen’s phone number was displayed on the screen of the phone that Tang Zhimo was holding in his hand. Startled because of Tang Zhixi’s sudden attack, his little finger pressed down on the dial button by accident.
Tang Zhixi who leaped at her brother from behind noticed the photo of Ye Lanchen on her brother’s laptop screen. Her elder brother told her that this was the new father their mommy had found for them.
“Father,” Tang Zhixi shouted excitedly at the photo.
Right at this instant, Ye Lanchen answered the call and Tang Zhixi’s loud voice blasted through the speaker of his phone.
Father? For a split second, Ye Lanchen wondered if he was hallucinating…
