Quadruplets’ Charm: The Tycoon’s Hidden Heirs
Chapter 384: Talk About What

Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Talk About What

"Ye Sihan..." Xing Ling murmured against his chest, her voice buzzing.

"Mm."

"Now that you’ve touched me, you’re not allowed to touch any other woman." Xing Ling displayed possessiveness.

Ye Sihan didn’t say anything.

Getting anxious, Xing Ling raised her head, "You have to take responsibility for me!"

"How do you want me to take responsibility?"

"Only I can be in your heart and body." Xing Ling pouted.

Ye Sihan didn’t say anything, let go of her, and got up to dress.

With a body in discomfort, Xing Ling sat up, "What do you mean by this?"

"I make no promises." His voice was somewhat cold. "We’re adults, it’s normal."

Xing Ling’s face turned dark, her heart aching with a sour bitterness.

She hadn’t expected Ye Sihan to say such things to her.

His callousness made it hard for her to breathe.

In the end, Ye Sihan only saw her as Tang Yu’s substitute, never intending to take responsibility, just a physical exchange and release between a man and a woman.

That is to say, if Ye Sihan turned around and found another woman, she could only watch.

Straining to maintain her feeble self-esteem, Xing Ling said, "You’re right, it was just a night of indulgence, nothing more."

She pretended not to care, moving her sore and stiff body to pick up the clothes from the floor.

One by one, she put them on.

It’s as if she wanted him to marry her!

Now she just felt embarrassed by the words about taking responsibility that she had said earlier!

Ye Sihan’s dark eyes watched Xing Ling get dressed, silent.

Wu Qianqian sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby, waiting for Ye Sihan and that woman.

When she saw who was walking through the lobby with Ye Sihan, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

Xing Ling?

Since when had she hooked up with Ye Sihan?

She hadn’t believed it when the crew staff called her before, saying that Ye Sihan’s helicopter often came to pick up Xing Ling.

How could this be...

Wu Qianqian’s heart was filled with hatred and distress...

"What do you want to eat?" Ye Sihan asked Xing Ling.

"No need, I’ll go back to my own apartment and pack up, I should be able to leave tomorrow." Xing Ling said listlessly.

Ye Sihan didn’t say anything and dropped her off at the entrance of her apartment building.

As soon as Xing Ling reached the elevator, she heard the car driving away.

She turned around, but could no longer see Ye Sihan’s Rolls-Royce.

Her heart was sour and uncomfortable, indescribably suffocating.

What exactly did Ye Sihan take her for?

This was her first time, casually taken away without significance.

Xing Ling entered her apartment feeling sullen, took out her phone, and saw calls from her second brother, over ten missed calls, showing the urgency with which he was looking for her.

Adjusting her mood, she called back, "Second brother."

"Where are you?"

"At my apartment."

"You stayed at your apartment last night?" Xing Yanjie considered it a possibility that had never crossed his mind.

"Yes." Xing Ling lied.

How could she tell her second brother that she and Ye Sihan had gone to a hotel room last night?

"Then why didn’t you answer my calls? I almost called the police!"

"I drank too much, slept through it." Xing Ling collapsed on the bed, her body so sore she was on the verge of tears.

The way Ye Sihan was last night made her shiver even now when she recalled it.

But what was the outcome?

What did Ye Sihan say to her? No promises? An adult’s game?

Truly outrageous...

When Xing Ling went to the cloakroom to change into her pajamas, she was frightened by the shocking sight of her own body.

How dare Ye Sihan leave her like this, irresponsibly!

Bastard! Son of a bitch!

When Xing Yanjie returned to the apartment and didn’t see Xing Ling, he went to her room and found her propped up on the pillow, playing with her phone.

"Slept all day?"

"Hmm, drank too much." Xing Ling’s complexion was a bit haggard, resembling a hangover.

That didn’t make Xing Yanjie suspect anything, "The director said you left alone. Didn’t even say goodbye?"

"What are you talking about, I did say goodbye. It’s just that they were partying too hard to notice me leaving," Xing Ling lied with a straight face, sounding listless.

Worriedly, Xing Yanjie touched her forehead; her temperature was normal. "You just got over being sick, and you drink like this, really deserves a spanking."

"How old am I to still get a spanking? When I was little, did you often spank me?" Xing Ling asked.

"How could I?"

"You’re just taking advantage because I can’t remember anything." Xing Ling’s head drooped as she scrolled through her phone, bored.

Xing Yanjie, feeling a bit sensitive, asked, "When are you planning to go home?"

"Tomorrow, I guess..." Xing Ling said uncertainly, "Or should I visit the quadruplets before I leave?"

"Just to see the quadruplets?"

"Fine, don’t believe me, you can come with me, to the school," Xing Ling didn’t want to see Ye Sihan right now.

However, after a night’s sleep, her heart yearned for Ye Sihan again.

Is this what liking someone is like?

Despite being hurt by his words, her thoughts were still preoccupied with him.

Was she seeking self-torment?

Yet the affection in her heart wasn’t something she could control.

At the breakfast table, a night’s sleep had refreshed Xing Ling considerably, at least physically.

Tumbling between the sheets with Ye Sihan all night had nearly cost her life.

"Actually, I think it’s best not to visit the quadruplets. You can call them after you get there," Xing Yanjie suggested.

Hearing her second brother say this, Xing Ling realized what he meant.

If she told the quadruplets she was going back in front of them, even if she assured them she’d visit whenever she could, she couldn’t avoid hurting their feelings.

If they cried, she would definitely feel bad.

How could she possibly go back then?

In the end, she agreed with her second brother’s suggestion not to meet the quadruplets.

"Leaving today?" Xing Yanjie asked.

"Tomorrow!" Xing Ling changed her mind again.

She didn’t go anywhere and just nested in her room, checking her phone occasionally.

Ever since they parted, Ye Sihan had not called her once, not a single call, which was utterly heartless.

Xing Ling angrily threw her phone aside, but when it rang, she almost jumped up and almost strained her back getting to it.

Upon seeing that the call was from an unfamiliar number, Xing Ling felt an indescribable sense of loss.

Answering the phone listlessly, she asked, "Who is it?"

"Ling, do you have time? Could I treat you to a coffee?"

Xing Ling instinctively resisted upon hearing this voice. She thought Wu Qianqian understood how to behave and wanted to invite her for coffee before she left. "Thank you for the gesture, but it’s not necessary. Actually, you’re doing quite well now. Just keep it up, and we likely won’t cross paths in the future."

"It’s not that, I wanted to talk to you about something else, about Sihan."

Xing Ling thought, talk about what?

About Ye Sihan, she felt somewhat out of control and agreed to meet.

When she arrived at the coffee shop, Wu Qianqian was already there, seated.

In a private room.

Xing Ling could understand, as Wu Qianqian was no longer the unknown she once was.

"Ling, I ordered your favorite coffee for you," Wu Qianqian said. Upon hearing this, Xing Ling knew this was meant to put her in her place.

Because Wu Qianqian, having been her stand-in before, knew what she drank.

She used to order for her all the time to get close to her!

Showed no reaction on her face, Xing Ling sat down, "Thank you."

The coffee arrived quickly and was placed in front of Xing Ling.
