“How did you know that he’s been looking for me the whole day?” Chu Wuyou thought that Aunt Liu’s words sounded strange. It was normal for the latter to know that Ye Lanchen had looked for her but how would she know specifically that he had been looking for her the whole day?
She thought Aunt Liu must have exaggerated the situation!!!
“Sir came home once in the morning, another time at noon, and then called home several times in the afternoon just to check if Madam’s home.” Aunt Liu was an honest person. She replied with the truth since Chu Wuyou asked.
A flurry of emotions stormed across the latter’s face at the sound of that. It seemed that Aunt Liu was not exaggerating earlier.
Did he really need to search for her the entire day?! Did he not have something better to do?
Besides, all she did was go to work. She would naturally be home in the evening. Why did he look for her with such urgency?
“Aunt Liu, how did Sir look when he came home?” Chu Wuyou breathed out silently before probing again.
“Sir appeared really scary when he came home the first time…” Aunt Liu began recounting from memory.
The other woman blinked blankly. Did that mean the situation improved after that…
It was normal that Ye Lanchen would be angry in the beginning. Perhaps his anger eased off as the day went on.
“When Sir came home the second time, he was…” Aunt Li paused for a brief second as if searching for the appropriate description.
Chu Wuyou regarded the other woman with expectant eyes.
Then, Aunt Liu inhaled sharply and announced in a quivering voice, “Terrifying!”
“…”
The woman was speechless.
Things got worse?! That was not good for her!
“When Sir called home after that, his voice gave out a chilly feeling, like how you would feel when you walk past a massive cemetery alone at night on the way home. No, even more frightening than that.” Aunt Liu who had no idea about the other woman’s concerns at the moment continued on.
Chu Wuyou glanced at Aunt Liu. Indeed, the latter was describing in a lively manner that made her feel as if she was personally there.
“I’m full now. I’ll go to bed.” She placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table, before rising to her feet gracefully, intended to retreat to her bedroom.
“Madam, I called Sir earlier and I think he’ll be home soon. Don’t you want to wait for him?” Aunt Liu was baffled. Madam was enjoying the meal just seconds ago but why the unexpected change of heart? Besides, Sir must be coming home soon. He had been looking for her the entire day; was she not going to wait for him to come home at least?
Chu Wuyou, who was walking steadily before, almost tripped. She suddenly felt her legs turning jelly. It must be fatigue. Yes, it must be the exhaustion, which was why she needed to rest.
“I’m tired so I’ll head to my room first.” She suddenly picked up her pace in the next second and rushed upstairs toward her bedroom.
Aunt Liu’s eyes twinkled with surprise. Madam appeared too worn out to barely walk earlier but how could she run so quick all of a sudden?! Did she gain all the energy after the meal?!
Upon entering the bedroom, Chu Wuyou decided to lock the door from the inside after brief consideration.
Ye Lanchen had never barged into her room since they got married thus he could still be considered a gentleman. Perhaps he would not try entering her room now that she had it locked.
Well, Chu Wuyou was definitely an overly-optimistic person!!!
