Quadruplets’ Charm: The Tycoon’s Hidden Heirs
Chapter 395 - 394: What’s with His Possessiveness?

Chapter 395: Chapter 394: What’s with His Possessiveness?

Xing Ling, who had been pressing her ear against the door at the entrance, couldn’t hear anything.

The soundproofing was perhaps too good!

Suddenly, the door opened from the inside, and Xing Ling’s head bumped into Xing Yanjie’s chest as she scrambled to stand up right, "Second brother, you guys didn’t argue, did you?"

Xing Yanjie pulled her into the living room and asked seriously, "If... I mean if one day Ye Sihan is no longer interested in you, what will you do? Have you thought about that day?"

"What do you mean..." Xing Ling didn’t understand why her second brother would ask her such a distressing question.

"A man like Ye Sihan, who can wield power, isn’t someone one woman can control, do you understand?" Xing Yanjie patiently analyzed the pros and cons for her.

In his and Xing Tian’s eyes, Xing Ling was like their own little sister, and they didn’t want her to get hurt.

"But even if you get married, there’s still a chance of divorce! You can’t just not marry because of that possibility, right?"

"I’m only asking you now, if Ye Sihan doesn’t want you anymore, what will you do?"

"Who knows what will happen in the future?" Xing Ling said, annoyed. "How do you know he won’t want to be with me?"

"Second brother doesn’t want you to suffer later. Do you understand? As long as you can bear the pain of separation when the time comes, second brother won’t stop you," Xing Yanjie said, seeing that she was silent, he added, "Think about it carefully."

Then he walked away.

He didn’t forcibly take Xing Ling away either.

Xing Ling stood there, feeling a twinge of fear at the prospect of facing this alone.

She just really liked Ye Sihan and wanted to be with him all the time; she thought this was a good development.

Why imagine such an inauspicious outcome?

Remembering that she was always the one initiating their times together made her feel very insecure.

Did second brother notice something?

Xing Ling was indeed reflecting seriously; if tomorrow, or next month, Ye Sihan said to her, "Leave, I’m not interested in you anymore, I have someone else," could she remain composed?

Just the thought of that possibility made her insides feel as if they had been doused in sulfuric acid.

Hot and painful.

Would she really become desperately miserable at that time?

Xing Ling’s complexion turned a shade paler.

Turning her head, she saw Ye Sihan, who seemed to have appeared at the entrance of the living room at some unknown time, looking as if he had seen right through her thoughts; she hurriedly masked her emotions.

Moving forward, she asked, "What did you talk about with my second brother?"

"What are you thinking?" Ye Sihan countered.

"Nothing..." Xing Ling pursed her lips. "Did he say something unpleasant? Why can’t I know?"

"It’s irrelevant," Ye Sihan said succinctly.

Xing Ling was suspicious; was it really irrelevant, or did he not want to tell her?

It’s one thing for Ye Sihan, but why wouldn’t her second brother say anything?

She felt a heaviness in her heart, and she saw Ye Sihan looking at her.

As if the fear of losing him had been exposed.

"Stop looking," Xing Ling raised her hand and covered Ye Sihan’s dark eyes.

Ye Sihan didn’t move, letting her cover his eyes.

With his vision obscured, Xing Ling finally revealed her low and complex emotions.

She knew she couldn’t control Ye Sihan; she was completely guided by the beating of her heart.

Ye Sihan... did he ever actually fall for her?

Or... was he just interested in her body?

If it was just the body he was interested in, wouldn’t he lose interest one day?

Xing Ling felt a heavy pressure in her chest, tiptoed, leaned in, and pressed her lips against his thin ones, closing her eyes and savoring the bittersweet sense of security this flutter brought her.

That night, Xing Ling slept alone in her own room.

Lying in bed without a wink of sleep, tossing and turning, she wondered what Ye Sihan was doing. Had he gone to sleep?

It was ten o’clock; Ye Sihan wouldn’t go to bed that early, would he?

She said that when she went to sleep, Ye Sihan did nothing to stop her and seemed indifferent.

Even though it was she who had initiated it, Ye Sihan’s inaction still made her feel disappointed.

Was this an indication of being dispensable?

When she and Han Shuo were taken into the car on the street, Ye Sihan’s reaction wasn’t very satisfying either.

Even if she got out of the car, he would accept it.

Even if she was anxious, she still didn’t want to part from Ye Sihan.

It’s okay, even if they broke up in the future, at least she had him now, right...

After sleeping for a night, Xing Ling felt much better and more at ease.

Why always think the worst?

Perhaps she and Ye Sihan could stay together forever!

When she went downstairs and saw the quadruplets in the living room, she walked over and kissed their little cheeks, "Good morning! My little treasures!"

"Mommy, good morning!" the quadruplets exclaimed in unison, their eyes shining as they looked at her.

Sitting across from them, Ye Sihan, seeing Xing Ling in a good mood, kept silent, appearing profound.

After breakfast, she went with Ye Sihan to drop off the quadruplets.

The quadruplets had a private car and a chauffeur to pick them up, so there was no need to worry at all.

But Xing Ling felt that children without their mother lack a sense of security; it would be better to spend more time with them for their growth.

She suddenly realized that looking like Tang Yu was an advantage.

Otherwise, how could she make the quadruplets like her so much?

With the children’s support, it wouldn’t be easy for Ye Sihan to abandon her, right?

Xing Ling, with her face pressed against the car window, was all smiles.

"Happy?"

Xing Ling turned to look at him, Ye Sihan’s face was handsome, with deep-set features, a defined jaw, solemn and steady. Although he emitted an aura that warned others to keep their distance, she couldn’t help but like him on the inside.

She leaned closer, resting her head on his broad shoulder, "What time did you go to bed last night?"

"One o’clock."

Xing Ling looked up in surprise, "That late?"

She had told herself she couldn’t sleep tossing and turning, but it hadn’t been that late!

"Could it be that you couldn’t sleep because you were thinking of me? Why didn’t you come to find me then?" Xing Ling’s heart started to feel regretful. If only she had been more proactive.

Ye Sihan glanced at her, "I was dealing with company matters."

"Ah... truly busy with a myriad of things," Xing Ling sighed. "By the way, could you drop me off at my apartment? I want to check on my second brother."

Ye Sihan was silent, wondering whether that director might also be in the apartment?

No, what was with this possessiveness?

She was just supposed to help him regain his memories.

Why should he want to control her every movement and whom she met?

The car stopped below the apartment building.

Xing Ling leaned in close, shyly kissing Ye Sihan’s thin lips, "I’m off."

She quickly pecked him and then got out of the car, scurrying off like a cat that had just stolen a fish.

Ye Sihan’s lips tightened, feeling an unusual rhythm in his heartbeat.

He pressed his palm over his left chest, a strange, uncontrollable reaction.

His dark eyes remained fixed on the direction Xing Ling had disappeared.

As soon as Xing Ling got home, she called out, "Second brother? Are you home, second brother? Did you go out so early?"

"Ling!" Han Shuo’s head popped out from the kitchen, "I’m here!"

"Han Shuo?" Xing Ling entered the kitchen and saw several broken eggs on the counter, with yolk and whites spilled all over, then glanced uncertainly at a pot filled with water, "You’re cooking, right?"

"I wanted to make noodles, seems a bit troublesome. But don’t worry, failure is the mother of success, it will work out soon." Han Shuo was confident.
