“Yes.” Chu Wuyou had been putting off inquiring into this particular matter throughout the years, for fear of being discovered by that man. She was more intimidated now that she suspected Ye Lanchen could be that man in question. Therefore, she dared not initiate the investigation herself but entrusted her senior with the burden.
She had faith in her senior’s capability.
Only he could assist her with this matter.
“Also, I don’t wish to alert the other party,” she added under her breath. She did not want to expose her identity to the man before figuring out the truth. She did not want the loss to outweigh her gains.
“…”
The man on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time though his breathing became heavier.
“Senior, I know that this is tough work because it happened many years ago, not to mention my side demand,” Chu Wuyou added slowly. She reckoned her senior’s lack of response came out of awkwardness for being placed in such a difficult position.
“Actually, I learned about the truth years ago,” the man suddenly spoke again. His voice was restrained if examined carefully.
“Senior, is it true? You know his identity all along?” Chu Wuyou could not resist crying out in alarm. She was normally coolheaded but this shocking news was definitely out of her expectation.
Chu Wuyou was too surprised at this moment to detect the changes in the man’s voice.
“Yes, I knew about it all along,” the man replied in a near whisper. His natural husky voice sounded rather coarse. “But, are you absolutely sure that you want to learn about his identity?”
Chu Wuyou was dumbfounded at the question. Initially, she could not be bothered to figure out who that man was because she thought they would never be involved in each other’s life again after that night. Nonetheless, the surprise turns of events proved otherwise.
“Yup.” She did not want to live in doubt anymore; she wanted to be informed since her senior already had the answer in his hands.
It would not hurt her to learn about his identity as long as the latter was kept in the dark.
“Mo Yan.” On the other end of the phone, that man parted his lips and these two words rolled off his tongue gently.
Mo Yan?! She was astonished at the familiar name. She even once claimed that she was Mo Yan’s woman whilst trying to escape from a difficult situation five years ago.
She vaguely remembered telling the same to that man back in that hotel room.
If that man was Mo Yan indeed, then she…
Chu Wuyou recalled that moment when she claimed to be Mo Yan’s woman with perfect assurance and flinched at the memory.
She fully trusted her senior capability hence she did not question further.
Nonetheless, she wondered why did he not inform her about this if he had known since the start? Chu Wuyou soon remembered her senior’s personality; he would not tell unless she inquired.
Chu Wuyou finally released the breath she did not know she had been holding. It was good news as long as Ye Lanchen was not in the picture. This way, her contract marriage with Ye Lanchen became a mere agreement again, and she could file for a divorce as soon as Ye Lanchen acquired the stock ownership to his family business.
By then, nothing could stop her from returning to Country M along with both her darlings.
She had already made her mind up before asking her senior for the favor. If Ye Lanchen turned out to be that man in question, then she would leave immediately with her two darlings and make sure to stay away from the former forever.
Fortunately, luck was on her side…
The man on the other side of the phone appeared concerned upon hearing her relief. Mo Yan was indeed that man from five years ago but he also possessed another identity simultaneously.
However, the information was not revealed to Chu Wuyou at that moment.
