Chapter 72: I Think It’s Possible

Sure enough, the person at fault would lose all their confidence once they realized the consequences of their actions.

“So, what’s your plan?” Under Ye Lanchen’s penetrating stare, these words rolled off Chu Wuyou’s tongue against her will.

She felt the urge to punch herself in the face as soon as her voice trailed off. Chu Wuyou should not have shown concern about his plans.

Was she genuinely stupid or had she gone mad when she raised that question? Did she just dig herself into a hole?

Was it too late to rectify her mistake?

Obviously, there was no turning back. Ye Lanchen replied almost immediately, “Should we go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Or Chu Residence?”

He made his intentions crystal clear.

However, he did not pressure her to head over to Chu Residence this time around because she made it clear that she was strongly against that idea. Instead, Ye Lanchen gave her a choice.

He should not drive her to an impasse or it might backfire.

Chu Wuyou’s lips twitched. Her intuition was right; she had dug her own grave and it was an awful mistake.

Ye Lanchen was cruel; not only did he lower her into the depths of ground but also blocked every possible escape.

“Is there a third option?” Chu Wuyou was still struggling for survival. She raised three fingers and wiggled them in front of his face. She looked rather silly but extremely cute.

Her adorable disposition was not at all affected by the disguise of heavy make-up, thick-framed glasses, and a face speckled with charming freckles.

Taken aback, it took Ye Lanchen a couple of seconds to regain his composure and his face darkened. “What do you think?”

“I think it’s possible.” She expressed her honest thoughts regarding his question.

The third option was letting her board the flight heading for Country M.

“Pfft.” A bubble of laughter escaped Secretary Liu.

He enjoyed First Young Lady Chu’s delightful nature.

He had been working for the President for many years but no one dared to speak so bluntly at him. Besides, it was his first time witnessing such an array of emotions being displayed on the President’s face within a day.

Ye Lanchen threw a sharp glance at Secretary Liu before shifting his attention back to Chu Wuyou. “No.” With all seriousness, he declined her suggestion.

His soft voice reeked of determination crushed someone else’s glimmer of hope.

“Mr. Ye, I really am not a suitable candidate. Let me be honest with you, I’m actually a mother of two children.” She had never disclosed to anyone this secret regarding her two darlings, but desperation left her with no other alternative than to come clean.

She leaned in to whisper this into his ears to ensure no one else would hear it.

Chu Wuyou confided in him because she believed he was not one to spread rumors.

However, he only rolled his eyes at the honest confession before turning to leave, clearly dismissing its credibility.

A mother of two children! She had the cheek to say that!

Chu Wuyou was dumbfounded. She wished she could scream at the top of her lungs to express her desire to go on separate ways, but those four bodyguards behind her clearly explained that it was not a possibility.

She tottered behind him reluctantly with her “seven-inch golden lotus”. (TN: In 10th-century China, the most desirable bride possessed a three-inch foot known as a “golden lotus.”)

Ye Lanchen who was leading the way revealed a satisfied grin.

Right at that instant, Chu Wuyou’s cell phone vibrated to notify the arrival of an incoming message.

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