My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss

Chapter 73: Prenuptial Agreement

Chu Wuyou narrowed her eyes at the name of the sender. Her face fell immediately as she read the text message.

“The person in the photo is Ye Bowen, the ex-general manager of Ye family business. He’s also the only son of Elder Ye – which means he’s Ye Lanchen’s father. Both his legs were crippled in an accident that happened seven years ago and he has been living in seclusion in Ye family mansion ever since. The only way to approach him is getting into Ye family mansion but it’s not an easy feat.”

Chu Wuyou lifted her head to study Ye Lanchen who was walking in front of her. What a coincidence!

The person that she was looking for turned out to be his father?

Shocked, Chu Wuyou slowed down. She was moving at the speed of a snail.

Those four bodyguards also stopped midway to wait for her.

Ye Lanchen who was leading the way had already slowed down but he finally turned to face her when he noticed she had not caught up. He knitted his brows and rolled his eyes. “Are you planning to spend all three days we have left to get to the destination?”

“Why insist on me when there are so many options in the whole of Jin City? Truth is, I really am not the person you’re looking for, I...” Chu Wuyou was still attempting to persuade him.

“I remember saying that I’ll head over to Chu Residence with a proposal if you failed to show up at the Ministry of Civil Affairs by 9 am.” Ye Lanchen narrowed his gaze at her, his nonchalant voice reeked of intimidation. “You have one hour and thirty minutes left.”

Ye Lanchen glanced at his watch and rooted himself to the ground. His actions meant he would head straight over to Chu Residence with the marriage proposal once the clock struck nine.

Chu Wuyou’s chest rose as she inhaled deeply. She knew he would not let her off the hook easily seeing as he had made quite an effort with the airport ambush.

Therefore, she accepted that she had lost this battle. If she refused to leave with him to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs now, she would then be thrown into a passive position when he proposed at Chu Residence.

“Sure, I can give you my word, but they come with conditions.” Left with no room for retreat, Chu Wuyou agreed through gritted teeth. Of course, everything must come with a price.

“Hm?” Ye Lanchen’s eyes twinkled with surprise. This cunning fox knew how to turn the table around.

“You mentioned that you need a wife. I’m guessing it’s because you want to acquire the Ye family business?”

Ye Lanchen stole a glance at her quietly, refusing to comment.

“If so, we should establish a prenuptial agreement.” Chu Wuyou regarded his silence as an affirmative reply.

“You thought about this to the finest detail.” The prominent coldness in Ye Lanchen’s regard revealed a complicated feeling simultaneously.

“It seems like you’re not too dumb, after all.” He leaned in toward her and probed subtly.

He wished that she was less intelligent in actuality; he really did not need her to be quick-witted at a time like this.

Chu Wuyou pretended to miss the innuendo behind Ye Lanchen’s words and nodded earnestly. “Um, the truth is I’m quite smart by nature. Perhaps you would like to reconsider this arrangement, Mr. Ye?”

He claimed earlier that he disliked a smart woman. Would he change his mind now that he discovered she was not stupid?

“...”

Ye Lanchen narrowed his eyes and felt a sudden tightening feeling in his chest. He decided to not keep the conversation going.

Outside of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Chu Wuyou appeared in front of Ye Lanchen, carrying a printout copy of their prenuptial agreement. She arrived at 9 am on the dot.

Ye Lanchen threw a cold glance at her when he received the agreement. His expression darkened gradually as he browsed through the lines of content printed in black and white.
