Chapter 130: She’s The Woman From Five Years Ago, How Could She Be So Stunningly Beautiful! (XVI)
“Husband, don’t you believe me?” Chu Wuyou enquired with an innocent and aggrieved look. She knew better than to reveal her true feelings no matter how nervous she actually was.
“What do you think?” Ye Lanchen’s narrowed gaze met with her pitiful eyes. His hand that landed on her neck moved up and down absentmindedly in the way a predator would tease its prey seconds before devouring it.
Chu Wuyou blinked and appeared astounded. Her lips twitched but no words escaped from her mouth. She continued staring at him that way.
Ye Lanchen refused to break the silence either. The corners of his lips quivered slightly as if he was suppressing a smile.
What a great actress! He wondered how much longer she could continue putting on that pretense.
“President, I found something. Madam bought a woman’s shirt on the second floor at about eleven o’clock.” The highly efficient Secretary Liu returned the call a few minutes later.
Ye Lanchen clasped his fingers around the phone upon hearing Secretary Liu’s words. Eleven o’clock!! He had just arrived at the police station by then and Shen Ting called him to say that she had gone to the ground floor. In short, she had to be at the police station at that time.
Not doing mindless shopping in the mall.
Ye Lanchen looked straight in her eyes with a stern glare. His gaze was merciless and his entire body exuded a dangerous intent at the same time.
The powerful dangerous intent suffocated even Chu Wuyou who was normally adept in controlling her emotions.
Even an innocent person would be scared shitless under his piercing stare, not to mention Chu Wuyou who had actually done something “wrong.”
He continued glaring at her with a penetrating stare. Chu Wuyou feared that if this went on, she would break out of character eventually and reveal a weak spot right beneath him.
She fully acknowledged Ye Lanchen’s incredible mind. His tactics at the police station earlier today enriched her experience.
Chu Wuyou knew being passive was a disadvantage when challenged by a powerful opponent. Resigning herself to death was not her style.
She had always been flexible when faced with problems. She could act immediately and resolutely when required to take tough measures, but could also turn into a weeping beauty within seconds when the situation arose. She would do anything to ensure the final objective was achieved.

Chu Wuyou pursed her red lips and bit down on the lower lip gently. She stared at him with her big, watery eyes as her eyelids fluttered beautifully like the wings of a butterfly.
She perfectly executed this little series of performances. Her impression was genuine down to the finest details.
Her face revealed hidden bitterness and grievances simultaneously but she did not show hints of timidity or nervousness. The pair of pure and innocent eyes could guilt-trip others into apologizing.
Even if Ye Lanchen could detect everything with his stare as sharp as the blade of a knife, he failed to notice any strangeness in her expression at that moment.
Ye Lanchen who was staring at her intently laughed all of a sudden. Perhaps he faltered out of intense rage.
“You better hide your sly little tail away properly, otherwise…” Ye Lanchen inched forward gradually until the desirable distance and he parted his lips to speak the words that clearly reeked of intimidation.
He hesitated for dramatic effect, then his eyes twinkled as he stared at her pure white skin. Without warning, he bit down on the side of her neck. It was not too forceful yet she felt a tinge of pain nonetheless.
Chu Wuyou quivered at the slightest bit. Was he trying to show through actions that he would devour her if he ever caught her in the act? She knew full well that it was not an empty threat…
