It appeared that Chu Wuyou’s grandpa would keep trying until she picked up the call. She figured he might be calling on urgent matters. He would probably be concerned if she kept delaying to answer.
She knew without a doubt that Ye Lanchen would not let her leave his sight at this moment. The man had ordered her to pick up the call right here, right now.
He would not give up unless she did as she was told.
Left with no alternative, she could only brace herself to accept the call.
The man, who was positioned on top of her, leaned closer when she answered the phone.
Her entire body froze. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. It was fortunate that he did not do anything else inappropriate.
“Wuyou, what took you so long? Are you alright?” Elder Chu expressed his concerns immediately.
“Grandpa, I’m fine.” Chu Wuyou tried her best to sound normal. However, Ye Lanchen was on top of her at this moment, tickling her skin with his fingers. This made her extremely uncomfortable.
“Hmm, that’s good to hear. I’m calling to say that I’m leaving town for an urgent matter. I might leave Jin City for quite some time. You must take good care of yourself.”
It sounded like Elder Chu might be away for a long time.
Ye Lanchen frowned slightly. He was planning to visit Chu Residence today to have a proper chat with Elder Chu. It would be difficult if the latter was not going to be in Jin City for quite some time.
“Pass me the phone. I want to speak to the elder…” His eyes twinkled and he suddenly announced. He deliberately spoke right next to her phone in a loud voice.
This caught Chu Wuyou by surprise. She had been guarding against the man but her mission failed. She flew a hand to cover his mouth immediately. However, this would not work as well since the man was positioned on top of her right now.
In the next second, she rolled over quickly to press him beneath her, not forgetting to cover his mouth with her hand firmly.
Ye Lanchen did not struggle to free himself. To be honest, he was actually “flattered” by her “forwardness” but once he remembered her motive…
A dangerous intent flashed across his eyes. She seemed really terrified about Elder Chu finding out about them.
Was she planning to keep this a secret from Elder Chu for life?
His eyes narrowed gradually as he was reminded of what she said in Leng Jue the other night.
“Wuyou, is someone else with you? A man?” Elder Chu’s voice that came from the other end of the phone was laced with a hint of astonishment.
“Grandpa, you must’ve heard wrongly.” She pressed down harder on the man’s mouth for fear that words would escape him again.
The corners of his lips twitched. Heard wrongly? She really had the cheek to lie without a hint of guilt.
“Little girl, are you trying to ridicule me because I’m hard of hearing?” Elder Chu was not a fool.
She pursed her lips as she thought of how to respond.
“Is it Leng Rong? Are you with him?” Elder Chu’s voice entered the phone again right before her lips parted.
Chu Wuyou was positioned closely to Ye Lanchen right now. The phone was actually not too far away from the man either.
Therefore, Elder Chu’s voice was transmitted clearly into his ears as well.
He threw her a deadly stare, narrowing his eyes gradually. He was going to see how she would reply!!!
