Chapter 100: Her Disdain Toward Him

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Lanchen let his guard down and suddenly became aware of the acute pain in his upper abdomen. His entire body froze for an instant and his hand flew to his stomach subtly when he turned around later. However, he moved his hand away swiftly when Chu Wuyou walked past him a few seconds later.

Her eyes narrowed slightly at the man’s peculiar behavior but she did not comment further.

Ye Lanchen also remained silent after getting into the car. The color had drained from his face by the time he leaned back into the car seat.

Chu Wuyou caught a glimpse of his hand and noticed his fingers pointed at the upper abdomen. He appeared as if restraining his subconscious to press down on his stomach.

By the looks of it, could he be suffering from gastric pain?!

Gastritis was a common issue among businessmen like him who frequented social activities.

Although Chu Wuyou decided before that she would make herself invisible in front of him, she could not bear seeing him in this condition. Perhaps her motherly side had taken over because she subconsciously wanted to do something for the man in pain.

Besides, she reckoned she might be the reason that triggered Ye Lanchen’s gastritis because she had infuriated him.

“Secretary Liu, please pull over for a second.” The soft-hearted woman gave in eventually.

“Oh.” Taken aback, Secretary Liu pulled the car to a halt since the President did not disagree.

Chu Wuyou got out of the car almost immediately.

The throbbing pain in Ye Lanchen’s stomach grew intense. He never thought of restricting her actions hence he did not demand a reason for her behavior.

“President, is it your gastritis again? Should I head over to the pharmacy to get you some medicine?” After Chu Wuyou got out of the car, Secretary Liu finally looked over his shoulder to enquire about his concern.

Now that it was just him and the secretary inside the car, Ye Lanchen pressed down on his upper abdomen forcefully, hoping to relieve the tormenting pain. He winced upon hearing Secretary Liu’s suggestion. “Maybe in a bit.”

“Actually, President, there’s no need to keep it a secret from Madam. On the other hand, she can take care of you if she learns about it.” Secretary Liu was aware of the President’s intention but he could not fathom the reason behind concealing this secret.

Take care of him?

He had never been taken care of since his mother’s departure. He had always been fighting alone in this life.

Throughout all these years, he focused on making himself stronger, more powerful. He had the ambition to conquer; not to be taken care of.

Due to what happened between his parents, Ye Lanchen never again had any woman in his life. Apart from the accident that happened five years ago and of course, his newly wedded wife.

“Eh, Madam has gone into the pharmacy? Is it possible that she went to buy you some medicine?” Ye Lanchen’s train of thought was interrupted when Secretary Liu cried out in surprise.

Subconsciously, Ye Lanchen shifted his gaze toward the entrance of the pharmacy and caught a glimpse of Chu Wuyou’s silhouette.

To buy him some medicine? He was doubtful because it did not seem like something she would do.

He was fully aware of the woman’s unwillingness to marry him. Therefore, he never entertained the idea that she would genuinely care for him.

At least not now.

That wallet was a token of apology because she must have figured that he was annoyed. However, she did not need to please him at that moment, because he was not infuriated nor was he doing anything that could threaten her.

Moreover, in the past few days, he discovered that the woman had been impatient and disinterested in matters not directly related to her.

Besides, he did not tell her about the gastric pain. She, too, had no idea about his gastritis history.
