Chapter 324: Chapter 324: You Can Only Like Me

At night, Tang Yu slept alone in her room.

She was afraid Ye Sihan would force her to sleep in the master bedroom and had been restless since leaving the children’s room.

She didn’t fall asleep until the middle of the night.

When Ye Sihan entered the room, it was almost two o’clock.

He had stayed in the study until now, not returning to the master bedroom, but coming directly to Tang Yu’s room.

Ye Sihan sat on the edge of the bed and touched Tang Yu’s feet under the quilt, which were warm.

Not like in the rental house, where it was always cold, no matter what.

Isn’t it better here than the rental house? I ask you to come, and you’re so unwilling?

In her sleep, Tang Yu occasionally furrowed her brow or made soft noises.

She didn’t use to be like this when she was asleep.

Ye Sihan’s hand rested on her face, his fingertips gently smoothing her furrowed brow, calming her.

Under the dim light, his dark eyes held a deep, cold darkness as if conveying his emotions to Tang Yu, "Stop fussing, I’m afraid I’ll lose my patience."

When Tang Yu woke up, it was already daylight.

After getting dressed and going downstairs, she didn’t see the four little ones.

Uncle Wen came over with a smile, "Mr. Ye was afraid the children would disturb you. He sent them out to play, but I can call them back now."

"No need."

"Alright, then I’ll go get you something to eat. Mr. Ye hasn’t eaten either; you could eat together!"

"I’m not hungry," Tang Yu instinctively refused and turned to leave.

But her steps faltered and she tensed up when she saw Ye Sihan approaching.

"Are you not hungry, or do you just not want to eat with me?" Ye Sihan closed in, standing in front of her, his oppressive presence something few could withstand.

Tang Yu instinctively took a step back, eyes lowered, and said nothing.

"Ayu, don’t provoke me," Ye Sihan said staring at her, his voice deep.

Inside the dining room, Tang Yu still ended up sitting at the dining table with Ye Sihan.

Uncle Wen said that the four little ones’ bellies had already been filled early in the morning.

Tang Yu glanced at the clock inside the dining room. It was half-past eight, indeed past breakfast time.

Why hadn’t Ye Sihan eaten with the four children?

Busy until now?

From the moment she came downstairs, she had noticed the festive decorations throughout the Ye Mansion, with red "Fu" characters here and there. But even so, Tang Yu could still feel the oppression enveloping the entire Ye Mansion.

As long as Ye Sihan was present, this feeling would not dissipate.

In the afternoon, Uncle Wen and the other servants were busy decorating the entire Ye Mansion splendidly.

Tang Yu sat on the bench outside, watching the four little ones and the penguin play football.

Three penguins versus Junjun, Zhengzheng, and Haohao.

The penguin ran and dove, sliding across the lawn to hit the football with its head, prompting Junjun, Zhengzheng, and Haohao to rush in and fight for the ball.

Tang Yu watched with interest; even the penguins knew how to play football.

The others watching included the penguin and Xibao.

While the penguin showed no emotions, Xibao was tense all through.

So tense that she ended up in her mom’s embrace.

Tang Yu gently patted her little head, "Can Xibao also play football?"

"No play," Xibao shook her head.

Tang Yu knew she understood; she was just lazy and didn’t want to move.

Her children were all very smart.

Even without their mother, they would likely live well...

Tang Yu raised her head and looked towards the distance; the tree trunks and branches were twined with various decorative lights, including those among the shrubs.

She wondered what it would look like when lit up.

The air stirred slightly, and someone sat down beside her.

Upon seeing it was Ye Sihan, Tang Yu subconsciously started to stand up, only to feel a tight grip around her waist, binding her down, making her unable to move.

"Daddy~" Xibao’s chubby face, unaware of the covert actions between daddy and mommy, simply pointed her little short fingers towards the distance for daddy to see, "Greg is so awesome!"

Ye Sihan’s lips curved into a smile as he lifted her onto his lap, "Do you want to kick? Daddy will teach you."

Xibao immediately shook her head, "Mmm..."

Like performing a magic trick, Ye Sihan produced a macaron in his hand and offered it to her.

Xibao’s eyes lit up, and clasping the macaron, she brought it to mommy’s lips.

Tang Yu paused for a moment but followed her daughter’s intention and took a bite.

"It’s tasty, eat."

Only then did Xibao happily start eating, and before she finished, she got down from daddy’s lap, holding the macaron to share with the penguins.

Seeing Xibao walk away, Tang Yu felt the presence of Ye Sihan beside her becoming increasingly unbearable. She stood up to leave but realized his hand was still on her waist.

She tried to pry it off, "Let go..."

"Sit here." Ye Sihan’s voice was not loud, but it was very intimidating.

Tang Yu stiffened her body and really didn’t move an inch.

Her heart, however, was racing and she was panicking.

She wanted to maintain her refusal towards Ye Sihan.

Why couldn’t such a simple wish be fulfilled...

"They look so happy," Ye Sihan’s voice, when it dropped lower, sounded raspy and deep. His gaze settled on Tang Yu’s profile, her ear, and his eyes darkened a bit.

Tang Yu looked off into the distance, her attention on her three sons playing soccer with the penguins on the lawn.

She didn’t even notice the man’s intense gaze on her.

Yes, they were happy, but how long could such happiness last?

Tang Yu was terrified, afraid that she couldn’t protect her children.

Just like before, when she suddenly lost them...

She was a useless mother...

"I forgot to ask you, where did you find them before..." Tang Yu turned her face and Ye Sihan’s visage, so close to hers, took her breath away.

Her voice came to an abrupt halt.

Her mind went blank, forgetting to react.

Cheek to cheek, his breathing hot on her face, she could feel his searing warmth. The overly intimate gesture shocked Tang Yu back to reality, and she abruptly tried to pull away.

But the large palm pressed against her back pulled her closer, and Ye Sihan’s face drew nearer, "Don’t move."

His voice, low and gentle, was like a feather brush, holding a confusing power.

But Tang Yu was filled only with fear, her eyes wide and wary as she stared at the approaching Ye Sihan, her lips trembling, "No... don’t..."

Ye Sihan’s fingertips caressed the corner of her lips, and he involuntarily pressed his own lips towards hers.

"No..." Tang Yu couldn’t move back; she could only turn her face away.

His lips didn’t meet hers but brushed the corner of her mouth instead.

"So unwilling? Why?" Ye Sihan’s voice was husky, his gaze aggressive. "Still angry?"

Tang Yu was so nervous her breathing became rapid, she turned her face away, daring not to move.

Angry? She couldn’t tell. It seemed she didn’t even have the capacity for anger anymore.

"I... don’t like you... anymore," Tang Yu struggled to say her reason.

Coldness flickered in Ye Sihan’s dark eyes, "Say that again."

Tang Yu was so panicked, her head ached with the pressure; she got up in fright and ran towards the children.

Ye Sihan’s hand clenched on the back of the chair, his veins twisted with tension, and his dark eyes watched the slender figure in the distance with a cold and possessive gaze.

A sudden discomfort and irritability in his chest made his breathing grow rough.

No longer like me? Think that by saying you no longer like me everything will just go away? Impossible!

You can only like me!

In your heart, it can only be me!

After finishing dinner, the four little ones played at the entrance of Ye Mansion.

The decorative lights and streetlights all switched on together, illuminating the exterior of Ye Mansion.

"Wow!"

"So pretty!"

"Mommy, look there! Pretty lights!"

"So many..."
