My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss

Ye Lanchen’s fingers continued exploring Chu Wuyou’s waist a little longer. However, he could not find anything suspicious on her delicate skin that was as smooth as jade.

The movement of his fingers stopped abruptly. Although five years had passed since that night, the memory of that incident remained fresh in his mind. Why was there nothing on her waist?

A strange expression flashed across Chu Wuyou’s eyes as she tried to make sense of his actions.

Right at that moment, the incoming ringtone of Ye Lanchen’s phone broke the momentary silence in the dark.

“Third Elder Brother, Big Brother’s back. Meet us at the usual spot immediately.” Fifth Young Master Shen’s voice was laced with overflowing excitement.

“Okay,” Ye Lanchen mumbled a short reply. Of course, he would not miss the gathering since Big Brother rarely returned. Besides, he needed an urgent favor from the latter.

“I’ll be out for a short while. Rest well.” A different emotion filled Ye Lanchen’s eyes as he studied the sprinkling of freckles across Chu Wuyou’s face.

“Oh,” she answered softly. Her face grew grave upon his leaving the room.

Although Ye Lanchen tried to be subtle, she sensed an eagerness when his fingers caressed her waist. What was he looking for?

There used to be a tattoo on the left side of her waist, the area which he was exploring earlier, but only one person in the world knew about that.

How did Ye Lanchen learn about it?

A possibility suddenly flashed across Chu Wuyou’s mind and the thought of it frightened her out of her wits. Five years ago, when she made love to that man, the latter had touched her tattoo more than once. Therefore, it was likely that he might know about it, too.

Chu Wuyou was frozen with terror. Was Ye Lanchen that man from five years ago?

No, absolutely no way. What were the chances?

What if it was really him? Then she…

“Big Brother, get me something strong that can strip away a facial disguise.” Coincidentally, Ye Lanchen bumped into Boss Tang at the entrance when he arrived at the agreed meeting point.

“Sure, when do you want it?” Boss Tang accepted the request readily without raising any question. Naturally, he knew it must be something serious if Third Brother asked him for a favor personally.

“The sooner the better. Can I get it right away?” Ye Lanchen had never been this impatient before.

“OK, I’ll have someone bring it over immediately.” Boss Tang lifted his head in surprise but he did not mention anything else.

Ye Lanchen remained quiet since he entered the private dining room. Holding a glass of alcohol in one hand, he zoned out into the distance.

“Third Elder Brother, what’s brewing in your mind? I’ve called out to you several times but you didn’t respond to me.” Fourth Young Master Xi thought it was unusual to see the former seated motionless all this while with a glass in his hand.

Even though Third Elder Brother had a quiet brooding disposition, he had never acted like this before. What was the fascinating thought that was playing in his mind?

“Here’s what you’ve asked for.” Boss Tang’s lips curled upward subtly as he looked at Ye Lanchen. Indeed, Third Brother was behaving absent-minded today.

“Thanks, Big Brother.” Ye Lanchen’s eyes twinkled with brilliance as he was brought back to reality by the item placed in front of him.

“Third Elder Brother, what’s this?” Fifth Young Master Shen’s interest was piqued upon seeing the former’s reaction.

Instead of providing an answer, Ye Lanchen rose to his feet all of a sudden and approached the door with the item in hand.

“Third Elder Brother, where are you going?” Both Fourth Young Master Xi and Fifth Young Master Shen who were taken aback by the person’s abrupt decision asked almost simultaneously.

“Home,” Ye Lanchen answered patiently rather than leaving without explaining himself as usual.

“Home? Why are you going home so early? It’s not like anyone’s waiting for your return.” Fifth Young Master Shen’s mouth twitched slightly. The man had just arrived but was ready to leave without drinking any alcohol.

They rarely had the chance to gather with Big Brother. What was the urgent matter that caused Third Elder Brother to want to leave so impatiently?
