Chapter 354: Chapter 354: How Dare I

After seeing the results, Xing Ling and the quadruplets were identified to have a biological mother-son relationship.

Xiao Yu let out a breath he had been holding in his chest, which had become slightly uncomfortable due to the prolonged strain, and sat down weakly on the sofa.

Xing Ling really was Tang Yu!

He had wondered how there could be someone so similar!

So, Tang Yu really hadn’t died; she miraculously survived the sea! That was just too unbelievable!

Then, how did she become the Xing Family’s precious daughter? The process was unknown.

Xiao Yu stood frozen for quite a while, unable to digest the fact that Tang Yu was still alive.

If Tang Yu hadn’t died, even if Mr. Ye recovered his memory, it wouldn’t matter!

But how was he going to report back to Mr. Ye? He surely couldn’t just reveal everything that happened between him and Tang Yu in the past...

A few minutes later, Xiao Yu knocked on the door of the highest authority’s office.

Inside, Ye Sihan was buried in documents behind his desk, his deep and forceful aura intimidating.

"Mr. Ye, the paternity test results are out," Xiao Yu presented the report, and as Mr. Ye’s gaze fell on the paper, he said, "Xing Ling is Tang Yu, the mother of the quadruplets."

Ye Sihan saw the black and white proof on the paper, his face carrying an unfathomable chill, without looking up, "Did you know about this already?"

Xiao Yu’s nerves immediately tensed, responding, "I could only suspect it was her, as Tang Yu has been gone for many years, and her dress and appearance didn’t match. Most importantly, Tang Yu didn’t recognize me."

He wasn’t sure if Tang Yu really didn’t remember him and Mr. Ye, or if her acting was just too good...

Ye Sihan slammed the document on the desk, his chilling presence spreading, "She approached with intent, and you didn’t mention a word. Do you not want to be the executive assistant anymore?"

"I’m sorry, Mr. Ye, it was my negligence," Xiao Yu bowed his head, enduring the strong pressure.

How should he explain? If he told all the details of what had happened in the past, what would Mr. Ye’s reaction be? Would he believe it?

Mr. Ye was now firmly convinced Xing Ling had approached with a purpose.

Whether it was the quadruplets or Mr. Ye himself, either could be her target.

The vibrating phone on the desk interrupted the suffocating atmosphere. After seeing the caller ID, Ye Sihan’s expression improved significantly, "Get out."

"Yes," Xiao Yu turned and left.

Before closing the door, he heard Mr. Ye answer the call with the name ’Qianqian’.

Indeed, ever since Mr. Ye had woken up from the hospital, he hadn’t been very trusting of the people around him, including his executive assistant.

His wariness had grown stronger, surely related to the memories he had lost.

And evidently, Mr. Ye now considered Wu Qianqian to be the important woman he had forgotten.

The person Mr. Ye dreamed of was Tang Yu, but he encountered Wu Qianqian, the doppelgänger, first, who had made a preemptive impression.

There was movement at the door of the office. The door opened, and Ye Sihan walked out.

He glanced at Xiao Yu standing at the door.

Xiao Yu followed him, "Mr. Ye, Wu Qianqian is a stand-in for Tang Yu. The woman you dreamed of is Tang Yu; she is the real one."

Ye Sihan paused, turned around, and his cold face showed no significant emotional fluctuation, only a more displeased look when he gazed at Xiao Yu, "What benefit did she give you?"

"... Mr. Ye, what I’m saying is true," Xiao Yu said.

"Whether it’s true or not, I will discern for myself," Ye Sihan said coldly, then turned and walked away.

Xiao Yu stood there, somewhat deflated.

He had brought up the matter of the doppelgänger as a probe, and sure enough, Mr. Ye didn’t believe him.

If he went on, would he, the executive assistant, become a mole from who knows where?

The Rolls-Royce left KING Group, half an hour later.

Ye Sihan and Wu Qianqian appeared in the private dining room of the restaurant, with delicious food spread on the table.

Wu Qianqian was dressed neatly and purely, without overly heavy makeup, which was very comfortable to look at.

Ye Sihan lifted his gaze to stare at her, his thoughts profound.

Xiao Yu had said Wu Qianqian was Xing Ling, the body double for Tang Yu, but he trusted his own intuition more.

His first impression upon seeing Wu Qianqian, and the silhouette of the woman in his dreams, were exactly the same.

At most, Xing Ling could be the biological mother of the quadruplets, but what else?

If her existence was indeed that significant, why would she leave the capital?

"This is very tasty, do you want to try some?" Wu Qianqian offered the cup to him, her eyes smiling.

"I don’t eat sweet things," Ye Sihan returned to reality subtly and declined.

Wu Qianqian hid her disappointment and took a sip herself.

Ye Sihan said, "For someone who likes sweets, let’s pack some dessert later."

"I can’t eat too much either. There are strict requirements for an actor’s figure. It’s because of my self-discipline that I can be a body double for Xing Ling," Wu Qianqian said. "Even if I don’t remain a body double in the future, I want to maintain a good figure and act seriously. I won’t let down your expectations of me."

"Have you been to the capital before?" Ye Sihan asked.

"No, why?" Wu Qianqian didn’t know why he suddenly asked this.

"Nothing," Ye Sihan picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Wu Qianqian looked for a topic, "Aren’t you going to ask what I did today?"

"You tell me."

Wu Qianqian then spoke about how she signed with Caged Studio today, met with some directors and producers in the capital, and shared some interesting events that occurred.

After dinner, Ye Sihan sent Wu Qianqian to Cloud Club.

"Do you have anything on later? I was thinking, since we’ve just finished eating, why not go out for a walk?"

Ye Sihan checked the time on his wristwatch, "I have to go to the company."

"Oh, next time then!"

Xiao Yu was working in the office, when someone suddenly pushed the office door open.

He looked up, saw who was coming in, and immediately stood up, "Mr. Ye, is there anything you want to instruct?"

Ye Sihan sat down on the sofa, "Have Tang Yu and I ever had anything going on? Tell me everything."

Xiao Yu stood there, his body tensed, bracing for the upcoming ’confession’.

So, Mr. Ye had still sensed something was off.

It seemed that mentioning the body double was the right move.

However, looking at Mr. Ye’s demeanor, he appeared to still be unable to accept such a change.

Especially since he had no memory of Tang Yu at all...

"If I find you’ve said one wrong thing, your career is over," Ye Sihan’s voice was as cold as if it came straight out of Hell.

"How dare I," Xiao Yu thought to himself; he wouldn’t dare, even with a hundredfold courage. "When I saw Xing Ling, I was shocked by her resemblance to Tang Yu. I didn’t dare to reveal it to you for fear you’d remember Tang Yu. If she wasn’t her, and you recalled everything, the consequences would be serious."

Ye Sihan furrowed his brows as he looked at him.

"Tang Yu was not sent away by you; she had some misunderstandings with you and then... she committed suicide by jumping into the sea," Xiao Yu chose the word ’misunderstandings,’ leaning towards romantic issues, leading Mr. Ye in that direction.

It was true, after all. If he couldn’t see it before she jumped, then how could he not understand after she jumped?

Mr. Ye had fallen in love a long time ago; he just didn’t know it himself.

Once he realized, it was already too late and beyond remedy.
