Chapter 189: A Love Confession

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Lanchen would no doubt make a move if he discovered Chu Wuyou was meeting another man. It was a deliberate move to expose Ye Lanchen’s true intentions.

“Senior, why must we meet today?” Chu Wuyou, who was dumbfounded, asked all of a sudden.

She felt that her Senior was acting rather strange today.

Considering his identity, it was obvious that her Senior would not suggest meeting in public. That would place both their lives at risk. She even doubted for a split second if this person was really her Senior.

His entire body froze but his fingers grasped tighter around the cell phone. He detected the hint of doubt in her voice. She even sounded like she was on high alert.

She was doubting him? Guarding against him?

The realization caused his heart to sink.

He had looked after her cautiously for all these years and this was what he received in return?

It hurt him deeply.

However, he was reminded again about her uniqueness, which could affect her nature in handling affairs.

She had always been decisive, never one to do things sloppily.

Not once in all these years had she given any man a chance to pester or flirt with her.

It was as if her heart was strongly fortified. She would never step over the line or allow someone else to do the same.

She had regarded him as a Senior, a friend, or even family, but never as a romantic partner.

This was the cause of his delayed confession, not to mention the fact that she had never given him any chance to reveal his feelings for her.

He decided that he should brush it off. One year would pass in the blink of an eye. He had tried for many years to break her defenses yet he still had not succeeded. He did not believe Ye Lanchen could succeed in just a year.

Moreover, the marriage between them was not built on genuine feelings hence it was impossible that Chu Wuyou would open up to Ye Lanchen easily.

Perhaps he had overanalyzed the situation out of anxiety.

“Wuyou, I need to leave now because an urgent matter has come up. See you next time, if we have the chance.” He made up another reply constructed with carefully chosen words.

He knew her well enough to know how to dissipate her doubts and skepticism.

“...”

Chu Wuyou was once again at a loss for words. Perhaps she had thought too much into it earlier. This man was probably her real Senior instead of an imposter.

The nature of her profession made her overly alert at all times. She hoped her Senior did not overanalyze her reactions.

The man ended the call abruptly, without any hesitation. However, he did not leave after that, instead, he remained to watch her from afar.

He also noticed that Ye Lanchen was watching her from the second floor.

His eyes narrowed instinctively. Evidently, Ye Lanchen was spying on Wuyou because he did not trust her!

Chu Residence.

“Dad, you should give Wuyou a call and get her to come home, even if it’s not for the sake of Ninger. Wuyou hasn’t returned in so many days. Are you really not concerned at all?”

Li Min tried persuading the old man until her throat was croaky but Elder Chu remained unconvinced. She had no other alternative but to ask Chu Zhijiang for assistance.

Elder Chu threw a quick glance in Chu Zhijiang’s direction and finally picked up the phone call.

Delight washed over Li Min’s face. She believed that she could convince Chu Wuyou as long as the latter came home.

“Grandpa.” Chu Wuyou, who was at the mall, was taken aback upon discovering the incoming call.

“Wuyou, are you enjoying yourself?” Elder Chu’s expression softened visibly within seconds, his voice was laced with unbelievable affection.

“Hmm, not bad.” Chu Wuyou mumbled an ambiguous reply because she was not certain of the reason behind this unexpected phone call.

“Okay, that’s what’s most important. Don’t forget to visit me when you have time.” A sweet and gentle smile spread across Elder Chu’s face.
