Third Young Master Ye’s eyes darkened upon hearing the introduction. However, he suddenly remembered that Chu Wuyou had never disclosed the news of their marriage, thus he thought she was just trying to continue keeping that secret.
He did not think too much into it although he was unhappy. Of course, he did not catch that speck of enigmatic light that flashed across her eyes.
Secretary Li appeared surprised upon hearing the woman’s self-introductory. He wondered when was the last time the President brought his assistant along on a business trip.
“Ah, Assistant Chu. Hello, nice to meet you.” Secretary Li extended his hand to greet the woman enthusiastically despite feeling perplexed.
As soon as she extended her arm, Third Young Master Ye threw his coat over to stop her from shaking the secretary’s hand.
The woman was startled. Could he not carry his own coat? Why must he throw it to her?
This man had definitely become more unreasonable.
Secretary Li was stunned. Somehow he felt as if the president was trying to stop him from shaking Assistant Chu’s hand.
No, that was impossible. He must have imagined it.
“President, should I drop you off to the estate?” Secretary Li questioned tentatively upon entering the car. The president had always stayed in his own estate whenever he came around.
Third Young Master Ye remained silent.
Secretary Li understood that as a tacit reply.
“What about Assistant Chu?” He posed another question.
“I can stay in the hotel,” she replied naturally with a smile.
Secretary Li thought it made sense as the woman was only the president’s assistant. It would be an inconvenience for her to stay in the estate. The latter would not have agreed as well.
“It’s too long a journey to the estate. I’ll stay in the hotel too.” A hint of surprise flashed across the man’s eyes as he suddenly understood the woman’s intention.
She was really trying all she could to stay away from him.
Undoubtedly, he would not let her achieve her goal.
“Ah, sure,” the confused secretary replied.
Was it just him or the president was behaving strangely today?
Since the president was complaining about the long distance, he booked them into a nearer hotel. He went on to sort out the booking procedure upon arrival.
Third Young Master Ye was speaking on the phone by the time he returned.
“Assistant Chu, this is your room card.” Secretary Li had another room card in the other hand, which obviously belonged to the president.
A faint smile flashed across her face. She had anticipated the man’s every move and everything was exactly like she had predicted.
“Secretary Li, the President said you can go since it’s getting late. You can pass me his room card. I’ll hand it over to the President later.” Third Young Master Ye was currently speaking on the phone in the other corner. The woman successfully retrieved the other room card from the secretary.
“Um, alright then. Thanks, Assistant Chu.” Secretary Li knew it was getting late and the president needed his rest. Besides, he was frightened because the latter had been behaving rather moody today. Naturally, he was more than delighted to hear that he had been dismissed.
His assistant would be around to help out anyway.
Third Young Master Ye approached the woman after ending the phone call.
“Husband, let’s go to our room.” Chu Wuyou flashed him an exceptionally sweet smile while looking into his eyes. She was holding both the room cards in hand.
His brows twitched into a frown. He sensed something was not right but he could not tell what exactly it was.
