Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Husband, I can't believe you came despite your hectic schedule." With a smile on her face, Chu Wuyou heaved a silent sigh of relief and walked toward Ye Lanchen. Her voice sounded exactly the same as usual.

"Why? Were you hoping that I wouldn't come?" Ye Lanchen's gaze darkened as he slightly narrowed his eyes. Was there a double meaning behind this woman's words?

He had a hectic schedule; hence how could he spare the time to look for her?

Or was she secretly trying to question his reason for marrying her?

Secretary Liu was trembling in fear as he trailed behind the President. He had never seen such a forbidding color displayed on the latter's face despite having spent years working for him. He despised himself for not being bold enough to make up an excuse so that he could scurry away from this tense situation.

Madam deserved praise for her courage to approach the President with a smiling face at a time like this. However, the poor guy was scared witless for Madam because she was the root of the President's fury.

"Of course not, I'm just afraid to have interrupted your work. I could have gone to you instead if I knew you were finished with the meeting." Chu Wuyou remained all smiles as she held his gaze.

Ye Lanchen did not keep the conversation going. Instead, his penetrating gaze prowled over her face and pounced on her eyes.

"Husband, I bought you this wallet when I was shopping earlier. Do you like it?" Ignoring his X-Ray-like scrutiny, Chu Wuyou flashed the newly-bought wallet in front of his face.

Secretary Liu's lips twitched noticeably because he knew that the petrifying look on the President's face was triggered by Madam.

Did the latter really believe that a wallet could appease the President? Was Madam aware of her own naivety?

Ye Lanchen was stunned for a couple of seconds when his attention landed on the wallet. It was made up of his favorite color, texture, style, and design.

Could it be a mere coincidence? No matter what, this simple gift illustrated her thoughtfulness and attentiveness toward him.

Ye Lanchen's expression softened visibly within the next seconds. He still appeared cold as usual although the indifference had dissipated.

Secretary Liu detected the emotions that chased over the President's features and he was taken aback by the differences that happened in such quick succession. The former could not believe that the usually ruthless President was charmed by a wallet…

He failed to find the appropriate word to describe his feelings at that moment.

"Husband, where are we going now?" Chu Wuyou was evidently more observant than the secretary hence she also noticed the change in Ye Lanchen. Silently, she released the breath she was not aware she was holding. It seemed like the wallet that she bought intentionally had worked.

Of course, Chu Wuyou wished to seize the favorable opportunity to pursue her attack.

Ye Lanchen could not bring himself to be angry even though he figured out what was playing on her mind. Moreover, even until that moment, he had not yet discovered concrete proof that could be used to reason with the woman.

He remembered the first step in his plan was to cook the frog in tepid water. He did not need to worry as he had already made this woman his wife.

Ye Lanchen believed that the sly fox would reveal its tail eventually.

The eventful morning had finally come to an end. It was now time for lunch.

"Let's go for lunch." The usual coldness disappeared in Ye Lanchen's voice when he spoke next.

Secretary Liu blinked blankly at the situation in front of his eyes. Was that all?

Chu Wuyou finally felt the heavy pressure being lifted off her shoulder. However, what she did not know was that right at this moment, her dear son and her best friend were plotting a secret plan to conspire against her.
