“It’s too late.” Ye Lanchen threw a cold glance at Chu Wuyou. His expression fully explained that there was no room for discussion.
Chu Wuyou was seized with terror. Too late? She had not even explained herself, what did he mean by it was too late?
Was forced marriage still legal in this day and age?
Whatever. What could he do if she insisted on not marrying him?
At this moment, Chu Wuyou felt like venting her frustration by screaming hysterically or biting someone. Oh, yes, she could bite him to death.
She had always been a cool-headed person that maintained calmness whenever anything cropped up. For the first time in her life, she had the desire to resort to violence.
However, the icy look that he cast her way quelled the scream that was almost at the tip of her tongue.
As the saying went, he who understands the times is a wise man. She would be out of her right mind to challenge him at a time like this.
The four bodyguards guarding behind looked professionally trained. Besides, she estimated that Ye Lanchen was a good fighter himself.
“Young Master Ye, honestly, it’s a piece of cake to look for a woman that fits those criteria you mentioned last night. Is it because you can’t find the time to do so? If you’re willing, I can take on the role personally to find you the perfect woman of your dream. What about that?” Chu Wuyou tried another approach.
What baffled her was why he insisted on marrying her? He could acquire any woman in the world, given his attractive qualities.
Ye Lanchen looked vacantly at her without saying a word. He appeared dazed as if he was speechless.
Chu Wuyou became anxious by his attentive stare. Did she say something wrong? Why was he staring at her like that? She thought she was being reasonable.
“Otherwise, you can choose to burden your secretary with this task. Judging from his elegant and natural poise, I can tell that he’s a man with outstanding capability. I’m sure he’ll find a great match for you in no time.” Chu Wuyou thought that it might be inappropriate for her to volunteer her service in this matter. The truth was, she wanted nothing to do with him.
“Elegant? Natural poise?” Ye Lanchen suddenly shifted his attention to Secretary Liu. His ice-cold stare sent shivers down the latter’s spine.
Secretary Liu was panic-stricken. He did not provoke anyone but what had he done to deserve this? All this while he had stood there, motionless and silent like a fly on the wall, but still managed to bring trouble upon himself?
He who froze in place dared not speak up but was screaming and cursing frantically in his mind. Why had First Young Lady Chu praised him?
She should be showering compliments at the President! Not him!
Chu Wuyou blinked back blankly at the man. She had babbled incessantly but he seemed to have only registered that particular compliment. It was only an elaborate example and not the crucial point of her long speech.
“Mr. Ye, I’ll have to leave now to catch my flight.” She could not care less about this; her most important task right now was to leave this place immediately.
In actuality, Chu Wuyou did not have high expectations when she expressed her thoughts but Ye Lanchen’s reply sounded as if he was considering the possibility.
“Hmm,” he said in a deep voice.
His answer fostered a sort of premonition in Chu Wuyou’s heart, especially after learning his matter of speech last night…
Then, she discovered Ye Lanchen retrieving his cell phone to make an outgoing call. “Grandpa, I’m getting married. Can you help me…”
F*ck!!!
Chu Wuyou jumped at the sound of that. Was he requesting Elder Ye to make arrangements for the marriage proposal right away?!
She knew he was not an accommodating person!
There would be no way out for her if Elder Ye was the one to initiate the agreement.
Chu Wuyou narrowed her eyes and her body reacted instinctively way before her mind could come up with a tactical solution. She ran forward in a matter of seconds.
Slap!
Using only one swift motion, she hit his cell phone with such brute force that it flew out of his hand!
