Chapter 389: Chapter 388: I Always Keep Public and Private Matters Separate

Xing Ling was stunned. "If she’s not your woman, why are you so good to her? Do you take me for a fool?"

She would never believe it!

She had gone to the film set initially just to see Wu Qianqian, and later had her sign with KING Corporation. Now, Wu Qianqian received so many resources that she could barely handle them all, comparable to the top actress in the entertainment industry.

And now you’re telling me Wu Qianqian isn’t your woman?

Who would believe that?

Ye Sihan wasn’t accustomed to explaining himself to others, but the rare times he did, he was doubted.

He truly had no romantic attraction to Wu Qianqian, and the videos and photos in the computer had confirmed that Xing Ling was the girl from his dreams, the silhouette he saw in the background.

He couldn’t distinguish the complex emotions in his heart; he just wanted to keep her by his side.

One day, he would remember everything.

"Lost for words now?" Xing Ling said, seeing Ye Sihan silent and feeling unjustifiably irritated.

Why keep her in suspense like this?

"I’ll say it only once," Ye Sihan did not say anything more.

After all, whether Xing Ling believed it or not, she had no other way to go.

Xing Ling observed Ye Sihan, whose expression hadn’t changed, and wondered. Could it be true that Wu Qianqian wasn’t his woman? Then why was he so nice to her?

So nice that it made her jealous.

Of course, she would never admit to being jealous.

Perhaps Ye Sihan had his reasons?

"I... will believe you for now," Xing Ling said. "However, I still want to stay in the apartment during the day, and it’s best if we keep some distance between us."

Ever since she got off the bed last time, Ye Sihan’s indifferent words had been like a thorn in her heart!

Even if Ye Sihan said Wu Qianqian wasn’t his woman, it didn’t mean he would take responsibility for what happened in bed.

Ye Sihan did not insist, and dropped her off at the entrance of the apartment building.

Xing Ling didn’t get out of the car immediately but asked, "Picking up the child in the afternoon..."

"I’ll come to pick you up."

"Oh." Xing Ling paused for a few seconds, seemingly hoping Ye Sihan would say a bit more. Seeing his lips were firmly sealed and he had no intention of speaking, she then got out of the car.

After she exited the vehicle, the car door closed and the Rolls-Royce drove away.

Standing there, Xing Ling showed contempt, "What’s so great about it? Right now, it’s hard to tell who needs who more!"

In the afternoon, Xing Ling was dozing off with her head nodding like a pecking chicken when Xing Yanjie returned, "Why not go to bed to sleep?"

"I’m not sleepy," Xing Ling lifted her head, sucking off the saliva at the corner of her mouth.

Xing Yanjie laughed softly, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, "Sleep on your second brother’s shoulder."

Xing Ling pushed his hand away, "I said I’m not sleepy. But why did you come back so early today, second brother?"

"Had a meeting and finished up some business, so I came back. I need to go to KING Corporation again later. I have to take a shower first, I haven’t slept all night and feel uncomfortable all over," said Xing Yanjie, getting up.

"Second brother, take care of yourself; don’t dismiss it," Xing Ling frowned.

Xing Yanjie teased her by tweaking her nose, "A man who can’t stay up all night is no good."

"Why?" Xing Ling didn’t understand.

"You’ll understand once you’re married," Xing Yanjie said before he entered the bathroom.

Sitting on the sofa, Xing Ling pondered deeply. What did staying up have to do with marriage?

Then, she thought of Ye Sihan, who had slept with her throughout the night, and her face turned red all at once.

Xing Ling mocked inwardly, usually unnoticeable, her second brother was actually quite reserved!

Xing Yanjie came out after his bath, wiping his still-damp hair, and seeing Xing Ling leaning sideways against the wall by the door, he feigned surprise, "Ling, are you spying on your second brother taking a shower?"

Xing Ling was so annoyed that she hit him, "Who wants to peep at you taking a shower!"

"What are you doing here?"

Xing Ling’s face flashed a hint of embarrassment, "Big brother, can I go to KING Group with you?"

"No."

"Why? I’ll just be your assistant."

"One is Ye Sihan, the other is Xiao Yu, both don’t look like good people."

"That’s not true!" Xing Ling denied. Ye Sihan might be, but Xiao Yu? She couldn’t believe her brother could come up with that! "Anyway, Ye Sihan is coming to the apartment later to take me to pick up the kids, so I might as well stay at KING Group."

Xing Yanjie was concerned, Ye Sihan coming to the apartment? Wouldn’t it be dangerous for his little sister to be home alone?

Ye Mansion was big enough to run around in, but this apartment was only a little over 200 square meters, how far could she possibly run?

Wouldn’t that be like waiting to be pounced on by a beast, like prey?

It would be safer to keep her under his watchful eye, and even if he left her at KING Group, with so many people around, nothing uncontrollable should happen.

"Fine, I’ll take you there."

"You’re the best, big brother!" Xing Ling was happy.

She didn’t think she was going to KING Group because she wanted to see Ye Sihan; it was mainly because she had nothing to do and was bored at home!

She followed Xing Yanjie to the most authoritative floor.

Xiao Yu led the way in front, knocked on the door, and after getting permission, opened the office door.

But it wasn’t Ye Sihan’s office, it was other senior executives’.

There was already a dedicated department handling business cooperation with Xing Yanjie, so there was no need for Ye Sihan to be involved.

After sitting down, Xing Ling listened to them discussing business matters and some details concerning the contract. Both parties were very astute, down to the decimals.

The executives at KING Group appeared very kind-faced, speaking benevolently, but when it came to interests, they were quite assertive.

If they couldn’t agree, they would have to negotiate.

Xing Yanjie showed no sign of wanting to concede.

Xing Ling went from being uninterested to interested, "Otherwise, I’ll take the contract and ask Ye Sihan?"

Before Xing Yanjie could reply, the executive promptly said, "Certainly, certainly, I think that’s a good idea."

"She’s just an assistant," Xing Yanjie said.

"Our KING Group’s assistants, nine out of ten are talents. I think if Miss Xing is willing to step forward, she must have a better method. Why don’t we wait here for the result."

Xing Yanjie still wanted to speak, but Xing Ling had picked up the contract and run off, leaving him glaring at the executives.

The executive smiled and asked his assistant to pour him another cup of coffee.

Ye Sihan was sitting behind his desk dealing with affairs when he heard the sound of someone entering without knocking.

His black eyes lifted for a glance, then narrowed his gaze again.

Xing Ling threw the contract next to his hand, "This is the contract my brother drafted, take a look."

"Someone is responsible for it." Ye Sihan pushed the contract to the side a bit.

This time Xing Ling directly stuffed it into his hand, "That person is too difficult to talk to!"

Ye Sihan’s dark, deep eyes locked onto her, "Am I easy to talk to?"

Xing Ling wasn’t sure, a smile appeared on her face, "Considering that I’m going to be their stepmother, give a little ground, will you?"

"I have always kept my personal and professional lives separate."

"Just this once, okay?" Xing Ling pleaded, stretching out her hand and gently tugging on Ye Sihan’s sleeve, her expression full of supplication. "Hey, Ye Sihan, just to make me happy, you see I can’t even go back to M-country because of your kids, isn’t that sad? If I’m not happy, the kids won’t be happy later on either... Mmph!"

Before she could finish speaking, a large hand reached out and pinched her small face, a shadow covered her, and her lips were devoured.

Xing Ling’s mind went blank, her breathing was rapid, and all she could hear was the pounding of her own heartbeat.

Her lips and teeth were forcibly pried open, possessed without reservation, entwined—
