  “Can you try to suppress the news?” Chu Wuyou was aware that the only plausible solution right now was to plead Ye Lanchen to suppress the incident from the public’s knowledge.

  Ye Lanchen raised his eyebrows at her bold request.

  Was that possible?

  “Why don’t you tell me honestly what it is that you’re afraid of?” His gaze darkened as he raised the question. Why was she so terrified that the news would spread? Was she worried that someone in particular would learn about it?

  “I’m afraid that Grandpa will know.” The corner of her lips twitched as she heaved a sigh.

  What else could she be afraid of? For her Grandpa to see this news of course. She could not help but shudder as she was reminded of the words that her grandfather had told her. She became absolutely terrified as she remembered her grandfather’s reaction upon learning this news.

  “Is Elder Chu such an intimidating person?” Her reaction caught Ye Lanchen by surprise. The coldness in his gaze disappeared slowly and was replaced by a hint of delight. He could tell that she was speaking the truth.

  However, did she really need to be so petrified of Elder Chu?

  “Of course.” She nodded almost immediately.

  “What would happen if he learns about it?” The man’s curiosity was piqued.

  “He would definitely force us to get married.” She became fearful again upon remembering her Grandpa’s initial reaction.

  “We’re already married.” Ye Lanchen smiled gently. It appeared that the silly girl was so concerned that she became confused.

  “I mean a real marriage. I can’t promise Grandpa wouldn’t do something out of control if he knows,” Chu Wuyou explained quickly, thinking that the man had misunderstood her.

  “Oh, is that so?” He raised his brows playfully. “Is he truly that terrifying?”


  “Yes, absolutely. I’ve tested his patience before. Grandpa mentioned that he’s willing to give everything away if the Ye family ever showed the slightest bit of interest in taking me in as your wife.” Thinking that the nonchalant reaction from Ye Lanchen was a result of ignorance to the seriousness of the problem, she repeated the words that her grandfather told her last time.

  “To give everything away! You can now imagine how crazy my Grandpa is about this.” She stressed again.

  She reckoned Ye Lanchen would not lower his guard now.

  His eyes twinkled with brilliance. He finally understood why she would rather head to the Ministry of Civil Affairs instead of allowing him to drop by Chu Residence with a marriage proposal.

  Turned out she had long known about Elder Chu’s opinion on the matter.

  Elder Chu was awesome.

  Ye Lanchen decided that he should find some time to have a proper conversation with the old man.

  Chu Wuyou said again, thinking that the man was silently contemplating the problem, “Grandpa would never allow us to divorce. Instead, he would undoubtedly force us into throwing a wedding banquet or something of that sort. I don’t think you wish for that to happen either, right? Which is why you must try to suppress the news to prevent my Grandpa from learning about it.”


  Not only that their secret marriage was constructed based on a contract, Meng Ruoting was also in the picture thus surely Ye Lanchen would not want that to happen more than herself?

  Therefore, she reckoned the man would take the initiative in sorting out the matter.

  Ye Lanchen blinked helplessly. “But, my wife, you’re flattering me.”


  Upon witnessing the confusion that washed over her face, he added slowly, “I’m not capable of that.”


  Third Young Master Ye really had the ability to lie without a hint of guilt.
