Big Brother did not reply to the question, hence Ye Lanchen also remained silent. He had more perseverance than anyone he knew, even more so than Big Brother.
For reasons unknown to himself, however, he almost went hysterical when dealing with that woman. He left the room earlier because he feared he might not be able to control his anger.
“It’s not my place to reveal her private life.” The other man’s voice sounded evidently deeper and more serious when he spoke next after the long silence.
“Got it.” Ye Lanchen frowned slightly but did not comment further. He was fully aware of Big Brother’s status and he would not deliberately make things more difficult for the latter.
“I’ll investigate myself,” Ye Lanchen commented again. Big Brother could not reveal information to him but it did not prevent him from figuring the truth himself.
He reckoned he should employ more power to initiate this investigation!
“Must you do so?” The person on the other end of the phone was not surprised and his voice was a few octaves deeper than usual.
“Yes,” Ye Lanchen answered bluntly without any hesitation.
Nothing came again from the other end of the phone. Big Brother knew Ye Lanchen well enough to know that nothing could persuade the latter once he set his mind on it.
He was fully aware of Ye Lanchen’s capability. Perhaps the truth would unfold as soon as Ye Lanchen employed his full force to investigate the matter further…
“How come you got married all of a sudden? You didn’t even have a girlfriend throughout the years.” Boss Tang suddenly changed the topic of the conversation.
Indeed, the news of Ye Lanchen’s marriage came as a complete surprise. All these years, not one woman could get near to Ye Lanchen, not to mention getting intimate with him.
There was even a rumor being spread across Jin City regarding Ye Lanchen’s sexuality. Fifth Young Master Shen and Ye Lanchen went everywhere in pairs hence people became dubious.
Of course, the accident that happened five years ago was not known to many.
Ye Lanchen’s eyes twinkled. He knew Big Brother well enough to know the latter was not an inquisitive man by nature.
Big Brother who had never taken the initiative to enquire about his private matters before just questioned him about his marriage?!
He even enquired straightforwardly!
It must mean Big Brother was really concerned about this affair.
Was it because it involved Ye Lanchen? Or was it because of that woman?
It would give him something to think about if the answer was the latter.
“Big Brother, is there anything that you’re worried about?” It had always been an open and sincere relationship between him and Big Brother hence he posed the question frankly.
Ye Lanchen was dying for a response.
“…”
Big Brother who was on the other end of the phone refused to comment.
It was sufficient to prove that something was playing on Big Brother’s mind.
However, only Big Brother would know the answer to that.
“I’m not worried about you.” After a long moment of silence, Big Brother eventually provided this evasive remark. It sounded perfunctory yet meaningful simultaneously.
Ye Lanchen hung up the phone. He was slightly baffled by Big Brother’s peculiar behavior.
This was not the end of things. The woman was naïve if she thought she could escape through his grasp!!!
The corners of Ye Lanchen’s lips curled upward gradually into an enigmatic smile. It was captivating yet terrifying at the same time.
Simultaneously, Chu Wuyou who was in the other room shivered all of a sudden.
