Chapter 365: 365

Xing Ling led the quadruplets out of the room and downstairs for a meal.

At the dining table, Xing Ling, Ye Sihan, and the quadruplets were happily having breakfast.

The rich breakfast made Xing Ling feel delighted.

"There’s such a variety of delicious food here, I’ve never eaten like this at home." Xing Ling picked up her phone again and began snapping photos of the foods on the table.

"Mama can eat this every day from now on!" Junjun said.

"Will Mama take us home today?" Zhengzheng asked, and upon hearing this, Haohao and Xibao stopped eating, looking at her with eager eyes.

Xing Ling glanced at Ye Sihan, who had his eyes modestly cast down, and forced a smile, "Well... I have work to do and can’t pick you up every day, but occasionally, it might be possible."

"Does Mama always work?" Haohao asked.

"Yes, on the film set." Xing Ling replied.

The quadruplets didn’t say anything more, seemingly in deep thought.

Seeing that they didn’t ask further, Xing Ling felt somewhat relieved; after all, being an impostor and not exposing any flaws was already a testament to her acting talent.

The more she spoke, the easier it would be to slip up.

Xing Ling reached the film set within ten minutes by helicopter.

After dropping her off, the helicopter didn’t linger, it took off, circled around, stirred up waves over the treetops, and disappeared.

Zhou Yue followed Xing Ling excitedly, bombarding her with questions, "Sis, I was so worried, I thought something might have happened to you! Thank goodness you didn’t lose any limbs; otherwise, my head would be on the block."

"You worry too much, I just went out for one night."

"Where did you go?"

"To Ye Sihan’s house."

"What!" Zhou Yue’s eyes scanned Xing Ling up and down like lasers, "No hickeys on your neck, and you seem to be in good spirits, no oddities in the way you walk..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Xing Ling couldn’t help but interrupt, "What dirty thoughts are you having in your head?"

"You can’t blame me for thinking that way! You’re so pretty, men drool when they see you, and Ye Sihan is a man too!"

"I just stayed over at his place for one night, nothing happened."

"Could it be that he can’t perform?"

"..." Xing Ling was at a loss for words.

Yet her silence, in the eyes of Zhou Yue, the assistant, was as good as admission, "Oh my god, can’t believe that a man who’s at the pinnacle in appearance, intelligence, power, and wealth could have issues in that department? Such a pity."

Xing Ling went inside to change into her costume.

While helping her get ready, Zhou Yue talked about the scenes they were going to shoot today, mentioned using wires, and advised padding her waist with foam boards.

"Sis, your waist is so slim, even padded with foam boards it’ll still look thin on camera." Zhou Yue was envious.

Xing Ling was holding the script, letting Zhou Yue pad her waist.

After a while, Zhou Yue’s curiosity peaked again, "Sis, has Mr. Ye Sihan taken an interest in you? He came looking for Wu Qianqian before, and I heard she’s now getting a lot of opportunities in Kyoto. Could it be that the less competent a man is, the more he seeks out women to seem competent? Just like they say, the more you lack something, the more you want to show it off?"

Xing Ling gave her head a gentle tap with the script, "Why are you so nosy?"

"Well, I just love gossip, that’s why I applied to be an assistant to a star!" Zhou Yue admitted candidly.

"He asked for my help with something, it’s not what you’re thinking," Xing Ling warned her, "You can’t tell my second brother about this, got it? If he finds out, you’re fired."

Zhou Yue immediately zipped her mouth shut.

She thought, if it’s not a romantic affair, then why can’t I tell the second young master?

After shooting a scene in the morning, Zhou Yue called Xiao Yu, "Xiao Assistant, do you have a photo of Ye Sihan’s wife? Can you show it to me?"

"Why?"

"Because I went with Ye Sihan to pick up the quadruplets from school last night! Can that be easily substituted? Do I look very much like the quadruplets’ mom?"

"A bit."

"And then he took me to Ye Mansion. I thought I’d meet the quadruplets’ mom, which could be awkward. But we didn’t run into each other. I’m wondering, could something have happened?" Xing Ling speculated.

"Mr. Ye is not married and had the quadruplets with their mother out of wedlock, which was an unexpected event. Later on, due to some complications, she went missing," Xiao Yu lied.

"Hasn’t she been found?"

"Uh-huh."

"No wonder the quadruplets clung to me as soon as they saw me. They must miss their mother terribly if they haven’t seen her for a long time." Xing Ling felt sympathy for the children. "Do you have a photo? I’m quite curious."

"No. But don’t worry about it. As long as you’re there to comfort the kids when they miss you, that’s enough," Xiao Yu couldn’t tell her the truth, after all, it wasn’t his decision to make.

After hanging up the phone.

Xing Ling felt a sense of pity; she really wanted to see what the quadruplets’ mother looked like.

How similar must they be to have fooled everyone?

Xing Ling, resting on the grass and drinking water in the afternoon, thought she heard the buzzing of a helicopter. Lifting her head, indeed, she saw a black helicopter approaching from the distant horizon.

Zhou Yue was surprised, "They’re coming to pick up again?"

Xing Ling checked the time on her phone, it was only three o’clock.

Even if they were going to pick up the children, there was no need to be so early, was there? After all, it was only a ten-minute journey to the KING Corporation.

As the helicopter landed and its rotor blades ceased spinning, she saw four children bounce out from inside.

Xing Ling’s eyes widened in shock. How did they get here?

She walked over, "How did you guys come here?" She wanted to peek inside the helicopter to see if Ye Sihan was there, but she got tackled—

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

This chorus of ’Mommy’ drew sidelong glances from the actors and staff on set, and the assistant following behind Xing Ling nearly stumbled and fell flat on his face.

Xing Ling couldn’t hide her discomfort.

She wanted to tell the quadruplets not to call her that but feared making them sad.

If she allowed them to address her like this, what would others think?

A celebrity with a secret marriage and children?

"Is Mommy filming here?"

"I want to see where Mommy films!"

"Wow, this place is so fun!"

"Mommy, let’s go!"

Xing Ling wanted to ask the bodyguard what was going on, but her finger was grabbed, and she was dragged forward.

Only after taking the mother a certain distance did the quadruplets let go and start running around to explore, full of curiosity.

Xing Ling had no choice but to hurry over to the director, who was looking confused, and say, "These are Ye Sihan’s children."

With that said, everyone knew just how precious these four children were.

So, if they broke machinery worth millions, the director and staff would still have to inquire whether they enjoyed themselves and if they wanted another one to play with.

They didn’t realize the extent of Ye Sihan’s wealth; a single watch on his wrist could buy the lives and souls of the entire film crew.

It goes to show that wealthy people, even from half a globe away, can still be intimidating.

"Sis, you and Ye Sihan’s children?" Zhou Yue came over, her face still showing utter disbelief.

The director also had his gossip-eager Western eyes wide open.

"Don’t talk nonsense! Their mother isn’t in Kyoto, and because they missed her so much, they asked me to temporarily impersonate her. Don’t say such things in front of the kids," Xing Ling said with a serious face, filled with pity.

"That works?" Zhou Yue was astonished.

The expressions on the faces of the staff nearby were similar.

One can impersonate that?

"I’ve heard I bear a slight resemblance to the quadruplets’ mother. They were very young when she left, so their memory of her is not very clear," Xing Ling learned from Xiao Yu.

"So that’s it, Sis, you scared me. I thought you’d had kids behind my back," Zhou Yue said.

Xing Ling gave her a glance; the comment sounded like she had been betraying her in some way.

She walked over to where the kids were, fearing they might wander off and get lost.

Even though the bodyguards were closely following, she couldn’t help but behave protectively.

"But they’re so good looking! Sis, don’t say anything, the three boys look like Ye Sihan, and the girl looks a lot like you, eh!" Zhou Yue said.

"Really?" Xing Ling picked up Xibao, who had run over.

Xibao threw herself into her mother’s arms, giggling and calling her, "Mommy..."

That call seemed to melt Xing Ling’s heart.

Holding the tiny, soft body, her hands started to weaken.

She looked closely at Xibao’s face; it did seem that the area around the eyebrows was similar, while the nose and mouth looked like they were still in the process of developing fully.

When grown up, she might turn out to be a mini version of Xing Ling.

Xing Ling came back to her senses. What was she thinking?

Had she started believing they were her own children?

She was just someone who looked a lot like the quadruplets’ mother. It was normal to bear some resemblance, right?
