Chapter 90: I’m Here Looking For My Father (I)

The corners of Ye Lanchen’s lips formed a tiny arc as he looked at the disgruntled Chu Wuyou. “You’re here to pick me up?” He finally broke the silence.

“Uh-huh. Remember mentioning to me that you’re going away to Country M on a business trip? The earliest return flight from Country M to Jin City is 8 am. I thought that coming to the airport at this time would be perfect but it turns out you are already a step ahead of me,” Chu Wuyou replied, albeit still looking displeased.

“How do you know that I’ve boarded this flight?” Ye Lanchen’s eyes twinkled as he enquired. He should have been out by this time as she mentioned but he had utilized the special passageway.

Nonetheless, how would she know that he had boarded this particular plane?

He did tell her that he was going away for three days, but he did not notify her about the time of his return flight!

“I didn’t know that, but you told me that you’re coming today, didn’t you? I just rushed here before the landing time of the first flight. If I made a wrong guess, then I’ll just wait for the next one. I have the time.” Chu Wuyou stole a glance at him. Her logical explanation seemed to make sense. Yet, her tone was laced with obvious dissatisfaction. Her impatient tone clearly showed that she was still mad at him.

“Let’s go.” Ye Lanchen was inept in coaxing women and someone had ranted for nothing. Despite that, a suspicious smile formed on his face.

“President, we’re running out of time for the urgent meeting.” Secretary Liu quickly reminded Ye Lanchen the minute he saw the latter leaving the arrival hall.

“You should go. I can hail a taxi to get home,” Chu Wuyou said almost immediately because she was just struggling to formulate an excuse to leave.

“Come to the company with me.” Ye Lanchen grabbed her by the arm and led her into the car.

F*ck. Chu Wuyou was dumbfounded and the desire to bite this man to death flashed across her mind once again.

She was dying to see her darlings. Could she refuse to go to his company?

Obviously not. He did not even grant her a chance to say no as the driver had already sped off.

When they arrived at the company, Ye Lanchen brought Chu Wuyou to his office before heading to the meeting.

Several moments later, Chu Wuyou’s phone rang. She stole a glance at the caller ID and scanned around the room for any monitor unit before picking up.

“Mommy, you lied to me again. You told me that you’re coming to pick me up but you didn’t show.” Zhixi’s irritated voice blasted through the speaker the moment she answered the phone.

“Darling, I’m so sorry.” Chu Wuyou felt a tightening feeling in her chest. She was really upset and could not help but curse silently at Ye Lanchen. It was all his fault that she could not see her darling and it was also because of him that she broke her little girl’s heart.

“I don’t need your apology. I want you, Mommy.” Zhixi could not hold it anymore and began to cry her heart out.

“Alright, alright, Mommy will come over right now. Mommy will be there soon.” Chu Wuyou felt her heart shattering into million pieces at the sound of her daughter’s sobbing.

“Husband, is your meeting going to take some time? Can I go shopping while I wait?” Chu Wuyou hung up the call and sent a text message to Ye Lanchen.

“K,” Ye Lanchen answered within a matter of seconds with the shortest reply possible, but it was an affirmative reply nonetheless.

Chu Wuyou heaved a sigh of relief and left the office instantly. At this moment, she did not have the luxury to worry if her actions would raise suspicions. She only knew that her daughter was wailing desperately for her.

Ye Lanchen was standing outside of the meeting room filled with people. His eyes darkened as he stared at his phone and he made a quick phone call. “I want a complete list of all passengers boarding the flight that arrived at 8 am from Country M today. Check if anyone on the list has been in contact with Chu Wuyou.”

“Yes.” The other person replied with a no-bullsh*t, one-syllable answer. It was a voice fueled with unmistakable authority.

“President, Madam left in a taxi instead of going shopping.” Soon, Secretary Liu called to relay the news.

“Follow her. Send me your location and I’ll head over right now. Remember, don’t let her see you.” Ye Lanchen retrieved his car keys and went downstairs immediately. His intuition was right; she was hiding something from him.

He could not wait for the truth to come to light.
