Quadruplets’ Charm: The Tycoon’s Hidden Heirs
Chapter 246: Do You Really Want to Stay and Keep Me Company?

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Do You Really Want to Stay and Keep Me Company?

The office door closed, revealing Ye Sihan seated on the sofa, his imposing presence profound, his face betraying no emotion.

Yet the atmosphere seemed very abnormal, oppressive.

Alertness arose in Tang Yu’s heart, as she cautiously glanced at Ye Sihan, "Why did Zhou Qinghua come here to find you? What did he tell you?"

Ye Sihan’s black eyes were frigid and devoid of sentiment as he stared at her, silent.

The oppressive feeling of the silence was truly unnerving.

"What... what’s wrong?"

Ye Sihan stood up and walked toward the office door, "Dinner."

Tang Yu followed Ye Sihan from the office to the Rolls-Royce, uneasily trailing behind him.

Inside the sealed car cabin, the pressure was still low, and Tang Yu felt as though she was about to suffocate.

This wasn’t like going to dinner; it felt more like heading toward the execution grounds.

Ye Sihan, from beginning to end, was looking out the car window, never giving Tang Yu a proper glance.

He seemed to be enveloped in darkness, deterring anyone from getting close.

Tang Yu wanted to speak, but she started and stopped several times, ultimately giving up.

They entered the private dining room.

Tang Yu wished they were outside in the restaurant where the presence of more people meant that the atmosphere wouldn’t be so suffocating.

After the food was ordered, Tang Yu proactively passed over the sanitized towel.

Ye Sihan took it and wiped his hands.

Seeing some interaction between the two of them, Tang Yu couldn’t help but speak up, "What happened? Are you in a bad mood?"

Ye Sihan tossed the towel aside and lifted his cold, emotionless black eyes, his gaze piercing, "You think I would be in a bad mood over something?"

"...Company matters?" Tang Yu wondered internally, it couldn’t be because of me, could it? Didn’t we already resolve everything?

Ye Sihan said nothing, his cold gaze fixed on her without blinking.

"Did I do something wrong?" Tang Yu asked tentatively, "Tell me, and I will change."

Ye Sihan lifted his hand slightly.

Tang Yu got up and went over to him.

But as soon as she reached him, he yanked her by the arm, pulling her forcefully downward—

"Ah!" Tang Yu’s hands flusteredly braced against Ye Sihan’s thighs as she confronted the man close enough to touch, "Ye Sihan?"

With a somewhat cool touch, his fingers pinched her chin, Ye Sihan’s voice was icy as he asked, "What did you do wrong, hm?"

Tang Yu’s long eyelashes trembled with uncertain distress, "I... I don’t know. I haven’t done anything..."

She had been filming all day, only having a meal with her mother.

Ye Sihan hadn’t expressly forbidden her from seeing her mother either.

"If you haven’t done anything, what’s there to be afraid of?"

Tang Yu’s breathing hitched, unable to fathom the emotions behind those dark eyes.

If nothing was wrong, why did she feel a chill?

A knock on the door interrupted them, and Ye Sihan let go of her arm.

Tang Yu had just sat down in her seat when the waiter came in with the dishes.

Once the food was served, they began to eat.

Tang Yu’s emotions were in turmoil when she heard Ye Sihan say, "Don’t overthink it, I have to attend a charity event tonight."

Tang Yu looked up at Ye Sihan, slightly taken aback. Was he informing her?

It seemed as if nothing had happened at all.

Was it because he had to attend the charity event that he was in a bad mood?

"Okay, I’ll stay at home with the kids." After she said these words, Tang Yu gauged Ye Sihan’s reaction and noticed his expression did not waver.

She felt somewhat reassured.

As long as Ye Sihan didn’t say she couldn’t stay at Ye Mansion, it meant there was no big issue.

"Will you be returning late tonight?"

"It depends on the situation."

"Does this count as our date?" Tang Yu boldly asked, a fluttering excitement in her heart.

Ye Sihan looked at her evenly, "Just a meal, why so dramatic?"

Tang Yu’s expression stiffened, and she glanced away in embarrassment, "It was a slip of the tongue."

She awkwardly stuffed food into her mouth with her chopsticks.

Not even knowing what she was eating, perhaps it was something very sour, otherwise why would her heart feel so uncomfortable?

She had thought that Ye Sihan would accept her explanation, after all, falling for him was beneficial to him.

He had always indulgently played along with her.

Why was it now that even mentioning ’date’ felt like foolish wishful thinking...

After finishing the meal and walking out of the restaurant, Tang Yu, who followed Ye Sihan, was surprised to see Yi Die waiting at the entrance.

Avoiding each other at the office, yet here she was, meeting her.

Yi Die, wearing a pretty cocktail dress, stepped forward, "Mr. Ye, I am ready."

Ye Sihan looked at her, his gaze deep and focused, uncertain whether it was her dress or her exquisitely curvaceous figure he was observing.

Tang Yu noticed Ye Sihan’s gaze, why was he continuously looking at Yi Die?

And Yi Die, dressed differently than in her office attire, looked delicate and beautiful.

Tang Yu felt unease and a sourness in her heart.

"Get in the car," Ye Sihan said.

"Yes." As Yi Die got into the car, she glanced back at Tang Yu.

Tang Yu noticed the challenge in that look, then heard Ye Sihan speak in a low and stern voice, "Take a cab back by yourself."

Tang Yu stood at the entrance, watching as Yi Die and Ye Sihan got into the car and left together.

Ye Sihan let Yi Die get in the car but left her behind.

Tang Yu tried to console herself, Ye Sihan was going to a charity gala, and it made sense to bring a female companion like Yi Die.

She knew that sometimes the female assistants from the secretarial department had to accompany Ye Sihan to certain important events.

And what was she?

A third-rate little star from the entertainment circle, also the mother of quadruplets who were kept out of the public eye...

Tang Yu arrived at Ye Mansion by taxi and found the quadruplets playing with little penguins at Ice Castle.

"Mommy, we’re in here!" Junjun waved towards her.

"Mommy, come quick!"

Tang Yu walked over, saw the four chubby children, and felt a softness in her heart as she asked tenderly, "Did you all eat well?"

"Already done!"

"Ate till I was full!" Haohao even stuck out his round belly.

"Daddy?" Xibao asked.

"Why haven’t I seen Daddy?"

Tang Yu said, "Daddy has to work, he’ll come back later."

"Mommy, we want to play inside the castle!" Zhengzheng pulled on Tang Yu’s hand.

Being tugged left and right by the children, Tang Yu was a bit dazed, but she didn’t refuse.

Playing with the children was a way to distract herself; after returning to the room, taking a bath, and calming down, Tang Yu’s mind wandered back to Ye Sihan, who was currently attending the charity gala.

Looking at the time, it was past eight o’clock.

Tang Yu decided to wait for Ye Sihan to come back.

That wait lasted until eleven o’clock.

Standing on the balcony and looking into the distance, there was only darkness, no signs of a car returning.

Tang Yu waited another half hour, but Ye Sihan still hadn’t returned.

She couldn’t help but call Ye Sihan, but the phone rang for a while with no answer.

Just as she was about to hang up, it connected.

Tang Yu asked anxiously, "Ye Sihan, when are you coming back?"

"Mr. Ye won’t be returning, don’t wait up for him."

Tang Yu froze, it was Yi Die...

Why was it Yi Die answering Ye Sihan’s phone? Where was Ye Sihan?

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Yi Die ask on the other end, "Mr. Ye, are you really going to stay and keep me company?"

"Yeah."
