Quadruplets’ Charm: The Tycoon’s Hidden Heirs
Chapter 406 - 405: Becoming One with Nature

Chapter 406: Chapter 405: Becoming One with Nature

A high-level meeting was held to discuss the development of a resort.

Xing Ling was sitting in Ye Sihan’s seat, playing with her phone and eating dessert.

There was a knock on the office door, and without looking up, she said, "Come in."

The person who came in was Yi Die, and her face turned particularly ugly upon seeing Xing Ling sitting in the seat of highest authority.

Early in the morning, she had heard that Ye Sihan and Xing Ling had registered their marriage, and she was so angry she couldn’t vent anywhere.

How could they suddenly get married?

Was it because Xing Ling had kept Ye Sihan so satisfied on their dates that he decided to marry her?

She just couldn’t see how this woman could be so cheap!

She believed that if it were her in Xing Ling’s place, she would undoubtedly do a better job!

Carrying coffee, she walked forward and placed it in front of Xing Ling.

Smelling the coffee, Xing Ling looked up, "For me?"

"I heard you and Mr. Ye have registered your marriage?" Yi Die asked.

"Since you know, shouldn’t you add a ’Mrs. Ye’ when you address me?" Xing Ling could clearly see that this woman was using the coffee as a pretext to fish for information!

And she liked coffee the least!

"I would like to call you Mrs. Ye, but that seat was supposed to be Tang Yu’s. You just got lucky. Mr. Ye didn’t marry Tang Yu, and that regret is made up for with you."

"Are you saying I’m a substitute for Tang Yu?" Xing Ling looked at her with a bad expression.

"The truth is always hard to hear." Yi Die said.

Xing Ling opened a drawer, took out two red books, and waved them in front of Yi Die, "Dare you say your so-called truth in front of Ye Sihan?"

The red color of the marriage certificates stung Yi Die’s eyes and heart.

"Do you know why Tang Yu jumped into the sea?"

Xing Ling didn’t say a word, her expression unchanged.

"Because Tang Yu saw me in bed with Mr. Ye. Tang Yu was stimulated and that’s why she attempted suicide. To be honest, I’m just reminding you kindly, being married to Mr. Ye doesn’t mean you have won. Sometimes, the things you can’t have are the better ones. Who knows who will be the one to suffer in the future?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Xing Ling’s voice turned cold.

Yi Die pointed a finger towards the lounge, "That’s where it happened."

Xing Ling followed her gesture towards the lounge door.

In an instant, she froze there, a strange emotion spreading inside her, causing her hand to shake and her phone to drop to the ground with a smack.

Seeing her reaction, Yi Die was satisfied, "I hope you won’t tell Ye Sihan that it was me who told you this. What if you have other doubts in the future? Only I can provide you with answers. After all, the special assistant Xiao is Mr. Ye’s man; naturally, he won’t tell you the truth."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Xing Ling sat there in a daze, thinking about the possibility of Ye Sihan being in bed with Yi Die, and suddenly felt nauseous.

No, it couldn’t be.

How could Ye Sihan have been with Yi Die? And to have been seen by Tang Yu?

She should trust Ye Sihan.

She couldn’t start doubting Ye Sihan just after getting the marriage certificate.

It wasn’t good for their relationship.

Suppressing the unease in her heart, she didn’t let it show when she saw Ye Sihan afterward.

After Xing Tian finished his meeting, he handed things over to Xing Yanjie and was ready to leave.

At the airport, Xing Ling was lectured alone by her elder brother.

"If you are ever treated unfairly here, call me any time. Don’t let yourself be wronged, you hear me?"

"Don’t worry, I will be very happy," Xing Ling said.

"You’ve married too far away," Xing Tian complained.

Hearing this, Xing Ling felt a sourness in her heart, "I’m sorry, big brother. I will come to see you often."

"Do you really believe that?"

Xing Ling pursed her lips and looked down.

A hand landed on her head and gently rubbed, "As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters to your big brother."

Xing Ling moved forward and embraced him, her voice choked up, "Big brother, have a smooth journey."

Watching Xing Tian pass through security and out of sight, Xing Ling’s eyes were red.

Ye Sihan wrapped his arms around her, "Whenever you miss your big brother, we’ll go see him together."

"Okay."

Xing Yanjie’s car followed behind, and then he saw the Rolls-Royce ahead switch lanes.

He made a call, "Where are you guys going?"

"Going on a scenic drive. Since you’re staying at the Ye Mansion lately, spend some time with the kids."

"What?" Xing Yanjie couldn’t believe it.

"Thanks in advance. Don’t disturb us unless it’s important."

Xing Yanjie wanted to say more, but the call was cut off.

He was so angry that he smashed his phone onto the passenger seat.

Could it be that Ye Sihan couldn’t wait any longer? It must have been so hard for him to hold back until now!

Taking Xing Ling to see the mountains and landscapes, wasn’t that just to avoid any disturbances?

Truly, passion was clouding his judgement!

Poor his little sister!

Xing Ling suggested, "Ye Sihan, can you take me out to sea to play?" As she finished speaking, she felt the arms around her tighten. "What’s wrong? Don’t you like the sea?"

"I don’t like it."

"Alright then, actually I’m afraid of water, but I thought it would be quite safe sitting on a yacht, right? Plus, you’ll be there! Since you don’t like it, let’s not go." Xing Ling didn’t insist.

She just thought it could be something to try out.

Unexpectedly, Ye Sihan didn’t like it.

"I’ve grown up so big, my older and second brother have always been very busy, and they never took me out to sea. They said I was afraid of water, and even had the swimming pool at home filled in! To be honest, are you afraid of water too?"

"Very afraid," Ye Sihan held her tightly.

In this life, he would never allow Xing Ling to approach the sea closely again.

The car stopped by the roadside, and the helicopter had been waiting there.

Ye Sihan carried Xing Ling onto the helicopter.

The helicopter took off slowly, heading towards their destination.

Away from the bustling city area of the capital, they went to even more beautiful surrounding mountain ranges, and finally stopped at the highest peak.

There, one could see the most beautiful sunset.

As soon as Xing Ling got off the plane, she was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the mountaintop.

The eye-capturing green merged with the blue of the sky, encircled by mountains all around, and a crystal-clear lake showcased white mist rising from its surface, like a scene from a fairytale.

Then she saw the little Western-style house to the right and stood stupefied, "Someone lives here? Who stays here?"

Ye Sihan took her hand, "I had it built here."

"Ah?"

"This way, we’ll have a place to stay when we come here, without having to sleep in tents," Ye Sihan’s dark eyes looked at her with tender indulgence.

Xing Ling was dizzy with bewilderment by his moves.

There were only bodyguards at the door, no maids in sight.

"Is there nobody to cook?"

"I’ll cook."

Xing Ling ran to the floor-to-ceiling window, which was the best spot to view the sunset.

When the afterglow peeked out from the treetops, it must be incredibly beautiful.

There was also a fireplace nearby.

The temperature on the mountaintop was relatively low, but with the fireplace, it was warm and comfortable.

"Isn’t this place too wonderful?" Xing Ling felt as if it was just her and Ye Sihan in the world.

Ye Sihan stepped forward, pinning her against the floor-to-ceiling window, his face close, leaning against her forehead, his breath entwining, "Like it?"

"I like it," Xing Ling’s face was hot.

"After the banquet, we’ll go to farther places, I’ll take you around the world," Ye Sihan’s voice was slightly hoarse.

"What about your KING Group?"

"Not as important as you."

Xing Ling couldn’t help but smile, "Ye Sihan, have you been bewitched by me?"

"Yes."

Xing Ling almost laughed out loud; he was being too direct, wasn’t he?

"Do you want to go down for a hot spring?"

"That lake is a hot spring?"

"Natural one."

"Okay."

Standing by the hot spring, Xing Ling watched Ye Sihan take off his clothes and asked somewhat shyly, "All of it?"

"No one will see."

Even though he said that, Xing Ling’s face was red enough.

She simply turned away, back to him, and started undressing.

As she took off her outer clothes and was left in her underwear, she was embraced, "I’ll take off the rest."

"Ah..." As she was held and sank into the hot spring, she was enveloped in warm comfort.

Merged with nature.

"Comfortable?"

"Mhm," Xing Ling wrapped her arms around Ye Sihan’s neck, refusing to let go.
