Chapter 212: Caught In The Act By Third Young Master Ye (II)
Chu Wuyou received a phone call from Qin Yutong not long after Ye Lanchen took his leave.
Darling Zhixi had caught a cold and was currently running a fever.
Chu Wuyou became anxious upon receiving that news. She hailed a taxi and left for Qin Yutong’s place immediately without giving it much consideration.
Fortunately, her darling girl was only suffering from a slight fever.
Chu Wuyou would not resort to performing intramuscular injection on her children under normal circumstances. It was said that a child’s brain would stop developing for seven days with each injection.
She purchased another type of medicine specially made for children and coaxed darling Zhixi into consuming it.
Naturally, the latter craved for her mother’s companion at a time like this.
Chu Wuyou made a phone call to Ye Lanchen and found out that the latter was going on a business trip for three days.
Therefore, she stayed there for three days to accompany her darling Zhixi. Of course, she was too occupied during those days to launch an investigation or plan other affairs.
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
“Mommy...” Tang Zhixi acted coquettishly as she nestled into her mother’s embrace and mumbled weakly, “Don’t go.”
“Okay, Mommy will not go.” The woman took the girl into her arms and placed a hand on the latter’s forehead. Zhixi was still running a fever. Recurrent fevers were not unusual among children.
Qin Yutong who was watching on the side also felt sorry for the girl. “Isn’t Ye Lanchen coming back today?”
“Yup,” Chu Wuyou replied in a low voice. She really could not bear to leave upon seeing darling Zhixi in this condition. However, Ye Lanchen was already suspicious of her and even launched an investigation on her. Perhaps she would only cause more trouble if she decided to not return.
She feared that her reluctance to return to the villa would lead to Ye Lanchen discovering the existence of her two children.
“Which means you’re leaving today?” Qin Yutong understood her friend’s situation and she was also aware of Ye Lanchen’s danger.
“How can I not leave?” Chu Wuyou was really reluctant after turning to look at darling Zhixi.
“You can, but I’m sure your husband will track us down in no time. The existence of these two darlings will also be exposed by then.” Although Qin Yutong behaved casually normally, she was always attentive regarding matters concerning the two children.
The reason Chu Wuyou had not brought her darlings home all these years was to shield them from danger.
She had gotten pregnant before marriage, not to mention that she had no idea who the father was. Not only that her reputation would be ruined if this was exposed to the public, the children would undoubtedly be hurt as well.
“He probably wouldn’t arrive too early anyway. I’ll give him a call to ask what time he’ll be back.” Chu Wuyou gave this a brief consideration before retrieving her cell phone to search for Ye Lanchen’s number.
“Hello?” The man picked up the call after two rings. His voice was slightly deeper but still sounded magnetic and lovely to the ears.
“Husband, are you coming back today? When will you reach home?” She questioned without beating around the bush.
Her darling that had fallen sick really left her with no other alternative. All she could do was to try her best to rush home before Ye Lanchen.
“I’ll be back quite late. Probably after eleven o’clock.” Expectation flashed across the man’s eyes when he replied.
“Hmm, alright. Have a safe flight,” she answered softly before hanging up the phone.
The unexpected response caught Ye Lanchen by surprise. Was that all? He thought she would mention her desire to pick him up from the airport.
“He said he’ll be home after eleven o’clock, which means I can take my leave after coaxing darling Zhixi to sleep.”
