Quadruplets’ Charm: The Tycoon’s Hidden Heirs
Chapter 346: She is rather naughty

Chapter 346: Chapter 346: She is rather naughty

Xing Ling thought to herself, her two brothers were both cunning foxes; as soon as she acted out of the ordinary, they would sense something was wrong.

She could only tell the truth, "It’s all because of the filming location."

"Didn’t you say on the phone earlier that you had it all taken care of? Was there a problem?"

"It was supposed to be fine; we had already started shooting. But then, Ye Sihan appeared and disrupted all our crew’s plans! The director took me out to eat, but how could I eat? I just kept drinking! After the drinking was done, nothing was accomplished!" As soon as Xing Ling thought of Ye Sihan, she felt a surge of frustration.

Xing Yanjie remained composed on the surface, "Tell me about it."

"My understudy, Wu Qianqian, her backer turned out to be Ye Sihan. Do you know Ye Sihan? The most powerful and influential person in the capital. He pities his woman and wants me to give up my lead role for her. Second brother, you should have seen how overbearing he was! He looked at people as if they were worthless!" As soon as Xing Ling finished speaking, her head felt even more dizzy, and she held her head with one hand, "Ah, I can’t take this."

"I’ll take you back to get some sleep."

"No, I still want to eat something; I barely ate at noon." Xing Ling waved her hands vaguely.

After the dishes were served, she managed to eat a few bites, but then she laid her head down on the table and fell asleep.

Xing Yanjie shook his head with a smile, put down his chopsticks, and stopped eating as well.

He took a sip from his unfinished cup of coffee.

He was still pondering how to approach Ye Sihan, and now his darling sister had pointed the way for him.

Putting down the coffee cup, Xing Yanjie stood up, picked up the passed-out Xing Ling, and left the club.

When Xing Ling was drunk, she would just sleep; by the time she woke up, it was already dark.

She lay in bed in a daze for a while before getting up to check out where she was.

The room was unfamiliar, simply decorated, yet luxurious nonetheless.

As she was still somewhat confused, the room door was knocked, "Ling, are you awake?"

"Second brother, I’m up. Come in!" Xing Ling saw who was entering and asked, "Second brother, where is this?"

"It’s the spacious flat our big brother bought before, didn’t I tell you?"

Her fragmented memory finally pieced it together.

Before she came to the capital, her two brothers had told her about the house they had purchased in the capital.

It was just that after she arrived, she went straight to filming and had no time to stay here.

"What’s the password to the house?" Xing Yanjie asked.

"..." Xing Ling.

"You might as well change your profession!" Xing Yanjie said irritably.

"I can’t even think about filming now, the director might as well pack up and go back." Xing Ling said puffing up her cheeks, lying limp against the pillow like a little kitten.

"Not necessarily."

"What do you mean?"

"If you really want to act, second brother can make an effort for you." Xing Yanjie thought it was an opportunity to hit two birds with one stone. "The Xing family has a business deal to negotiate with KING Corporation, and tomorrow there will be a business district foundation gathering in the capital. You can come as my date. Ye Sihan will be there too."

He added after a pause.

Upon hearing this, Xing Ling grasped the intent of her second brother, but the thought of Ye Sihan, who didn’t seem easy to get along with, made her hesitate, "I’ve met Ye Sihan before; he seems like a difficult person to deal with."

"That’s quite normal for someone of his status," Xing Yanjie was unsurprised. He had already done a lot of research before coming. "He also has four children."

"What? Four children?" Xing Ling was shocked. "How can he have so many kids? Hold on, is he married? Then how is he still involved with Wu Qianqian? What a scumbag!"

Xing Yanjie knew only so much.

They could not find any information about Ye Sihan’s wife.

It was a mystery.

Not a single clue was found.

The next day, Xing Ling, dressed in her newly purchased gown, linked arms with her second brother as they entered the foundation’s event hall.

It hadn’t been long since they took their seats when Ye Sihan, surrounded by a crowd, made his appearance.

Upon arrival, his presence alone seemed to lower the decibel level of the entire hall significantly.

Tall with long legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, the sharpness of the black suit he wore exuded a lethal charm, compelling one to take a second glance.

When he spoke with others, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, inscrutable, and his well-defined face radiated a cutting edge.

So what if he is strong? He is still a scumbag!

As his dark gaze lifted, Xing Ling found herself unexpectedly locking eyes with him; her mind buzzed, her heartbeat quickened in fright. It was as if the harsh words she harbored inside had been laid bare!

However, keeping in mind the purpose of her brother’s visit, she forced a smile, waving her hand as a friendly gesture.

Ye Sihan, however, withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, displaying utter indifference.

"Pfft!" Xing Ling scoffed.

"I thought we would see his wife, but it turns out he came alone," Xing Yanjie observed after a while.

"Second brother, aren’t you going to go mingle?" Xing Ling asked.

Those of high social standing came forward to greet him, while those who knew their place stood at a distance, maintaining a posture of respect.

Were just the two of them supposed to sit here, really?

"There are too many people; he won’t remember me well. It’s better to find a chance to meet him alone," Xing Yanjie said. "Besides, didn’t you just wave to him?"

Xing Ling pursed her lips, feeling her brother had a knack for bringing up what was most embarrassing to her.

Had he not seen the look on Ye Sihan’s face just now?

Ye Sihan took his seat, and by coincidence, it was right in front of Xing Ling.

The black suit, with its broad shoulders so close by, gave Xing Ling a sense of pressure more intense than from others.

The host was speaking, and at first, Xing Ling could listen for a bit, but then her attention settled on Ye Sihan in front of her.

She thought, is he really listening so intently?

By all accounts, did such an ordinary charity event require Ye Sihan’s meticulous attention?

Curious, she leaned forward; was he playing with his phone, maybe?

After all, her eldest brother had summed it up for her: silence often heralded mischief.

Xing Ling’s face hovered near the back of Ye Sihan’s neck, her bright eyes struggling to catch a glimpse of the man’s hands.

Ye Sihan, engrossed in the big screen, felt a slight warmth on his skin and a faint sweet scent; a tingling sensation surged, causing his body to stiffen and he abruptly turned around.

Xing Ling thought she had been careful enough, so she never expected to be discovered, but the man turned his face, his thin lips grazing her cheek before landing on her lips.

Although it was just a touch on the surface of her lips, it was enough to stun her, causing her brain to crash.

Ye Sihan had not anticipated this accident either, his dark eyes flickering.

The sweet taste invaded his senses.

Xing Yanjie, beside her, reacted faster, pulling Xing Ling back swiftly, his face unspeakably ugly!

Xing Ling, slowly coming back to her senses, her face flushed, bit her lip, and her eyes flickered, avoiding eye contact.

She really wanted to pretend nothing had happened.

But the atmosphere was too strange.

Especially being stared at by Ye Sihan, it felt as if she had committed an unforgivable sin.

"Sorry, she’s rather mischievous and meant no offense," Xing Yanjie explained, although he hated to think that someone had taken advantage of his little sister—wishing to flay that person alive—but he also knew they were in the wrong.

It was an utterly infuriating accident.
