Chapter 140: The White Lotus Is At It Again
“Ruoruo… ”
The familiar voice had Ye Erruo creasing her forehead in annoyance.
“Lin Jingxuan?”
Suddenly, Mo Jiangye stiffened upon hearing that name.
“Are you free to talk now?” That voice rarely sounded so tender.
“Since when have you become my brother? Do you feel no shame and disgust, Lin Jingxuan?”
A low chuckle rang from the other end of the line. “Aren’t I your lover?”
Meanwhile, the eyes of the guys sitting on the sofa bulged wide in shock and their jaws slackened so much that they could fit an entire egg in each of their mouths!
What’s going on? What’s happening here? Lover? Sis-in-law has a lover?
“Is it that man again?” Xu Xu whispered his question to Wang Yiyang, who was right beside him.
Is this the chap who confessed to sis-in-law and tried seducing her away from Boss? It doesn’t sound quite like him, though!
The corners of the woman’s lips twitched. What is he up to again?
“Do you have time? I want to meet you and tell you something.”
Irked, she wanted to just end the call straightaway, but she was stopped by her husband when she tried to do so. He motioned for her to keep talking with him.
“What is it that you want to tell me?”
“Let’s meet up. I have a secret to tell you.”
She scoffed in response. “What’s that secret?”
The man on the line let out a heavy sigh. “I’m sorry, Ruoruo!”
This out-of-the-blue apology had her arching a brow in surprise and curiosity. What is this male white lotus up to?
All of a sudden, she was lifted by the man behind her, which caused her to yelp in surprise and nearly drop the phone.
“What’s wrong, Xiao Ruo?” A worried voice was heard.
Mo Jiangye stared at the phone coldly before shooting a warning gaze at the woman to signal for her to continue speaking. He then proceeded to carry her up the stairs.
“Bo—” Xu Xu, who wanted to call out to his boss, ended up having his mouth covered tightly by Wang Yiyang.
“Keep your mouth shut if you don’t want to end up with broken bones,” whispered the other man. His warning was not only directed to Xu Xu, but also to the rest of the people there.
Didn’t you guys notice Boss’s murderous gaze?
“Surely, sis-in-law won’t get eaten up by him?”
He could not help thinking that something was bound to happen as the bedroom door on the second floor was slowly shut.
Xu Xu, on the other hand, picked up an apple from the table and took a bite. “Someone’s trying to seduce sis-in-law away from Boss again.”
“Why don’t we go up and check things out? What if he beats her out of rage?”
“Tsk… Boss would never hit her even if he were to beat that fella to death. What are you imagining?”
“Just in case, I think we should head upstairs and gauge the situation. After all, Boss has always been a temperamental person.”
For a moment, these men could not help feeling vexed and worried.
“I apologize to you, Xiao Ruo.” Lin Jingxuan repeated himself.
“What for? What do you want to say?”
“Is there anyone beside you?”
Ye Erruo took a look at her husband before answering, “No.”
“Alright then. If you don’t wish to meet me, I’ll just have to clarify something to you on the phone.”
“Go on!”
“How’s life with Mo Jiangye?” he softly asked.
The poker-faced Mo Jiangye placed his wife down on their huge bed before turning around and leaving to pour her a cup of water.
Throughout the phone call, she had been carefully paying attention to the changes in the man’s expression and wondering why he was now allowing her to converse with her ex-lover on the phone when he clearly disliked the idea of them speaking to each other.
“Fantastic!”
Lin Jingxuan let out a forlorn laugh when he heard that. “I wish you happiness, though I still want to tell you the truth.”
Ye Erruo’s patience was running out by now. “So, what the hell do you want to say?”
“I finally understand the reason for your cruel abandonment. It’s because you found out about my affair with Gu Feirou, right? Would you believe me if I told you that I’m only making use of her?”
