Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Change Clothes

Xing Ling’s complexion was extremely uncomfortable.

She didn’t dare to look at Ye Sihan’s face because she had slept so soundly last night— who knew what might have happened?

When she woke up, she was still holding Ye Sihan.

Just thinking about it made her feel ashamed!

However, during the meal, she sneaked a glance at Ye Sihan, and he seemed totally unaffected, as if nothing had happened.

Was it because her role as a stand-in was dispensable?

Because the helicopter was at the entrance of Ye Mansion, Xing Ling did not go to send the quadruplets off. The children were very sensible and did not ask their father to take them, seeming quite content with their parents being together.

Standing at the door, Xing Ling kept waving until she could no longer see the car, then lowered her sore arm and glanced at Ye Sihan next to her, "Nothing happened last night, right?"

Ye Sihan turned his face toward her, his dark eyes steadily gazing at her, "Did you have a dream last night?"

Xing Ling’s complexion stiffened and visibly reddened, "How... how did you know?"

"That wasn’t a dream." After saying that, Ye Sihan walked away.

Xing Ling was left there, disheveled in the wind.

Her face flushed red.

While sitting on the helicopter, Xing Ling covered her face the entire time until it finally cooled down after a long while.

It wasn’t a dream, so it was real.

Ye Sihan had thoroughly touched her, and not only had she not resisted, but she had also kept leaning into him, as if begging for affection.

"Just kill me!" Xing Ling wailed. She suddenly dropped her hands from her face, "No, this is Ye Sihan’s problem. Why the hell did he treat me like that? Did he have my consent? It absolutely wasn’t my fault! A person who sleeps like an idiot has no capacity to act; that’s a crime!"

The mood was not very pleasant when Xing Ling got off the helicopter, listless.

She also didn’t notice the strange atmosphere on the set, heading straight for her own room with her head down.

She didn’t even see her assistant.

As she pushed the door open and was about to call Zhou Yue, she saw Xing Yanjie, who was sitting comfortably inside eating grapes, which made her stop in her tracks and almost choke on her saliva.

She stood frozen, still hearing the buzzing of the helicopter circling away in the sky.

At that moment, she felt like a primary school student caught red-handed by her parents after staying out all night.

"So, where have you been?" Xing Yanjie asked.

Xing Ling did not speak but looked elsewhere, searching for Zhou Yue.

What was wrong with this person? Being an assistant was so unqualified, not even giving her a heads-up!

Xing Ling knew that lying was useless now. Zhou Yue must have told everything, and if she didn’t speak up, she would not be treated kindly. A thought suddenly alarmed her, "You didn’t do anything to Zhou Yue, did you?"

"If you don’t tell the truth, I can’t guarantee it."

"I’ll tell you!" Xing Ling sat down with a flop, "I went to Ye Sihan’s house to look after the children."

"You’re not a nanny, why would you willingly go to someone’s house to babysit? Has Ye Sihan taken a fancy to you?"

"No!" Xing Ling’s headache grew worse, "I was just babysitting! Didn’t elder brother say he couldn’t find out about Ye Sihan’s wife? His wife was named Tang Yu, and she committed suicide by jumping into the sea. I just happened to look like Tang Yu, so they asked me to take care of the children."

"Do the children accept it?" Xing Yanjie asked, then pinpointed an issue, "How much do you resemble Ye Sihan’s wife?"

Xing Ling perked up when it came to this, moving her chair closer to her elder brother, "Exactly alike! Really, elder brother, you haven’t seen Tang Yu’s photo. When I saw it, it was just like looking in a mirror. Tell me, did mom give birth to twin daughters back then? Otherwise, how could we look so identical?"

An unusual expression flashed in Xing Yanjie’s eyes but quickly returned to normal, "There are many people in this world who look alike. What’s so strange about that?"

"Right?" Xing Ling shook her head, "But it’s too identical."

"Don’t go there next time." Xing Yanjie wasn’t lecturing her anymore, just reminding her.

"I don’t want to go either, but Ye Sihan insists on it. The key is that those four children are even more troublesome than Ye Sihan; I couldn’t refuse." Xing Ling found herself without a defense.

"Did the helicopter come over today?" Xing Yanjie asked.

"It should have, right?" Xing Ling was uncertain.

"Okay, I won’t leave today. I’ll wait for him to come."

"What? Elder brother, there’s no need, right?"

"How is there no need? A man and a woman alone together, how dangerous? Do you want me to tell elder brother?" Xing Yanjie’s face turned slightly green.

Xing Ling felt extremely guilty and kept silent.

"Good, I also want to see those four children and find out if they are as annoying as Ye Sihan."

"No, the quadruplets are incredibly adorable, they’ll melt your heart," said Xing Ling.

"I didn’t ask for compliments," Xing Yanjie replied, unhappy.

Xing Ling pursed her lips, "Then, Big Brother, step out for a moment."

"What for? Kicking me out?"

"I need to change into my costume!"

Xing Yanjie’s face flashed with discomfort, as he knew he was in the wrong and stood up to leave.

Xing Ling supported her forehead with one hand, feeling overwhelmed.

If her second brother found out what Ye Sihan had done to her, he might get furious. Chances were they would cease cooperation on their business, and he might go as far as to strike Ye Sihan in the face.

And Xing Yanjie was a man of his word.

He stayed at the set for an entire day, either watching Xing Ling filming or making business calls.

"They say she looks exactly like Ye Sihan’s wife, and they still haven’t checked... I know, I’ll deal with it. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll bring her back," Xing Yanjie ended his call with Xing Tian and put his mobile phone on the small square table in front of him.

Watching Xing Ling act opposite the male lead, his thoughts drifted.

Ye Sihan’s wife had committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and Xing Ling was found by the seaside, and she had mentioned that her own appearance was identical to Tang Yu’s.

Could it be such a coincidence, that they were the same person?

When Xing Ling woke up in the hospital initially, she remembered nothing, not even her name.

It was as if she needed to rewrite her life, just like a newborn baby.

That year, their biological sister had gone out to sea and drowned, but they found Xing Ling instead.

They were of similar age.

The old grandmother in their family missed her granddaughter deeply and, fearing a shock, they named the rescued girl Xing Ling.

Luckily, the grandmother’s eyesight was poor and she couldn’t see clearly, so she couldn’t tell the difference for a while,

until she passed away.

Later, the current Xing Ling became the precious daughter of the Xing Family, and all the photos and information about their real sister were deleted and erased.

Could Xing Ling be Tang Yu, the one who had committed suicide by jumping into the sea?

If so, then Ye Sihan must have known from the start.

What was he thinking when he saw Xing Ling’s face?

Was it to possess her for himself?

Xing Ling heard the sound of a helicopter above her head, her mood pessimistic.

She had been hoping the helicopter wouldn’t show up.

It was mere wishful thinking!

The helicopter landed in the same spot, and only the bodyguards got off.

Standing next to the helicopter, hands behind their back, they stood as rigid as rifles.

Xing Ling looked towards Xing Yanjie.

Xing Yanjie’s face turned towards the house, "Go change your clothes!"

When Xing Ling had changed, she approached Xing Yanjie, "Big Brother, are you really going? Please don’t. I’ll go clear things up with Ye Sihan and stop visiting him."

"No way," Xing Yanjie got up and headed towards the helicopter.

The bodyguard glanced over and did not interfere.

Xing Yanjie followed Xing Ling all the way into Ye Mansion.

It was his first visit, and he looked around the vast mansion. In the heart of the capital where land was worth its weight in gold, it boasted secluded and stunning scenery.

Indeed, it was home to one of the most powerful families in the capital.
