Chapter 264: Chapter 264: I Can’t Catch My Breath

Tang Yu regained consciousness and lowered her gaze, "How did you get here?"

"Ding Jun called me and said you were all playing around here, and asked if I wanted to come over. I didn’t expect Ye Sihan to be here as well," Ye Yuli said. "It’s lucky I arrived just in time, or you would’ve been at a disadvantage."

Tang Yu did not say that she had not wanted Ye Yuli to appear.

"Just now... why didn’t you stay? Don’t you want to see the child anymore?" Ye Yuli paused, then asked.

That was exactly why Tang Yu did not wish for Ye Yuli to show up.

Ye Sihan was not that easy to talk to; it had just been a threat.

Once she made the choice to stay, Ye Sihan would then vent his anger on Ye Yuli.

She knew his tactics all too well.

She couldn’t disregard Ye Yuli’s circumstances for the sake of the child.

Tang Yu did not speak and headed towards the parking lot on the other side.

They got into the car together, the car left, and drove steadily on the road.

After a moment of silence in the car, Tang Yu, who was looking at her reflection in the car window, finally spoke up, "Haven’t seen the child for so long, my mood has changed from initial agitation to much calmer now. Why should Ye Sihan control me every time? I don’t want him to know what’s on my mind..."

"Mhm, you used to be willing to sacrifice yourself for the child, but now you’re not willing anymore, keeping him in the dark is a good thing," Ye Yuli agreed with her thinking.

It was a smart move.

As long as one stays calm, they can’t be led by the nose.

Even Ye Sihan has things he can’t control.

"It seems that it’s not going to work with Ding Jun, it’s okay, I will help you find opportunities again. This, for me, is easy," Ye Yuli comforted her.

"No need," Tang Yu refused.

"Xiaoyu, I want to help you, even if Ye Sihan uses all means to blacklist you from behind," Ye Yuli knew she did not want to leave the capital, so he would do his utmost to protect her.

He was not worried about Tang Yu being blacklisted by Ye Sihan, but rather feared that Ye Sihan would come knocking at her door.

Like before, owning Tang Yu, not treating her as a person.

He admitted that his power was not on par with Ye Sihan’s, but if it was for Tang Yu, he would not hesitate to lay down his life.

In this regard, he was incomparable to Ye Sihan!

"I appreciate your kindness, but using such connections can easily draw unwanted attention, and that would do me more harm than good. I want to rely on myself; let me try," she said.

Ye Yuli thought to himself that this ’someone else’ must be referring to Ye Sihan! He didn’t agree with her but was unable to prevent Tang Yu from insisting on what she believed.

The only consolation was that Tang Yu wouldn’t lose her cool over the child now; she had her own ideas.

Tang Yu returned to her rental apartment and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower upon her return.

The shower was on, the sound of the water hissing.

Tang Yu sat on the floor, her back against the wall, drenched.

Hugging herself as if lacking in security.

Her body was wet, and it was unclear whether her face bore tears or water, only that her eyes were red.

About the child, was she really as calm as she appeared on the surface?

No, she was distressed, her heart ached as if being cut, holding it all in the whole way.

When alone, she could no longer control her true sorrow.

She just did not want Ye Sihan to use the child to control her, she had her moments of breaking free from control.

But now, she regretted it so much she nearly called Ye Sihan right away, admitting her mistake, that she should have stayed, just to see the child.

But she knew in her heart that everything was too late...

Emerging from the bathroom, Tang Yu entered her room, collapsed onto the bed, powerless and desperate.

The cellphone was eerily quiet.

In the past when Yu Zhaohui was around, she could at least call her mother.

Now she had truly become alone...

Tang Yu curled up her body like a shrimp, as if this were a painful self-defense mechanism.

In the silence around her, all she could hear was her own heartbeat.

In this lonely space, they comforted each other.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door.

Tang Yu initially thought it was an illusion, and abruptly got up.

She left the room, walked to the door, and opened it.

As the door opened, a hand like a demon’s claw reaching out from the dark unexpectedly throttled her neck—

"Ugh!" Tang Yu was shoved backwards, her back slamming against the hard wall as she looked terrified at the man before her, as if confronted by a devil, her eyes widened, unable to speak.

Ye Sihan was staring at her with a fierce and ruthless gaze, "Surprised, huh?"

Tang Yu’s lips trembled, "Why are you... "

"Didn’t I say to try leaving the private room and see what happens? Did you think I was joking?" Ye Sihan’s expression was severe, and he applied more pressure with the hand choking her neck.

"Ugh!" Having returned to her senses, Tang Yu struggled, trying to pull the hand from her neck, but she couldn’t move it at all. "Let go, Ye Sihan, let go, I can’t breathe... "

Ye Sihan’s sharp gaze swept around the room, "What, didn’t have Ye Yuli keep you company? Isn’t he opposing me for your sake? Want to give him a call to come over? Huh?"

"I didn’t..." Tang Yu gasped painfully, her eyes flashing with panic, "Don’t—Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, she was pushed into the room by Ye Sihan and thrown onto the large bed, her vision swirling dizzily.

As the dizziness had yet to fade, a dark shadow covered her.

The next second, the sleepwear was torn from her shoulder—

"Ah!" Tang Yu panicked, her body trying to flee but trapped under the dark shadow, "Ye Sihan, what are you doing? Mmm!"

Ye Sihan pulled her hair back, revealing her pale and fragile slender neck, his body seething with malevolence as he stuffed the cellphone into her hand, "Call him to come over!"

Tang Yu, as if grasping a hot potato, flung the phone away in terror.

Her body writhed and struggled beneath Ye Sihan.

Above the neck, however, she couldn’t move at all, her hair being yanked so tightly her scalp was taut.

"Should I help you?"

Tang Yu looked at him with difficulty, her restrained tears filled with defiance, "In the private room, I wasn’t provoking you. I just hate being controlled by you. Moreover, you won’t even let me see the children. Who I’m with shouldn’t matter to you... Ah!"

A sharp pain shot through her scalp.

The Ye Sihan above her grew more terrifying, as though he were about to tear her apart any second.

Recalling the experience of being slapped that day, Tang Yu was so frightened by the psychological shadow that she couldn’t stop trembling.

"Say it again." Ye Sihan, his face full of malice, grew irritable in body and mind due to her resistance, his breaths rough and heavy.

"Say it again... what will you do?" Tang Yu viewed him through trembling tears, "Slap my face again? It doesn’t matter. You already did that day, slapping me once more today won’t make a difference. Ye Sihan, you might as well kill me, so I won’t keep worrying about the kids. It would spare me the revulsion and annoyance of being alive!"

Those desperate words seemed to drain all the courage from her body.

It made her breathing quake, filled with extreme fear.

After speaking, her lips were tightly clenched, afraid that fear would make her recant and beg for mercy on the spot.

"Indeed... I am disgusted, annoyed!" Tang Yu felt her hand pulling her hair trembling uncontrollably.
