Chapter 413 - 412: He’s So Afraid of Being Abandoned by Me

Chapter 413: Chapter 412: He’s So Afraid of Being Abandoned by Me

Wu Qianqian, who had been busy for several days, returned to the studio.

She wanted to find Ye Sihan.

But the words Ye Sihan said to her last time made her heartbroken and despondent.

"The things I give you now, I won’t take back, but as for the future, it has nothing to do with me."

"Is it because... of Xing Ling? Don’t you have even a little bit of affection for me? It was you who sought me out first. Do you believe in love at first sight? The moment I saw you in the bar, my heart stirred."

However, Ye Sihan remained indifferent and had her leave.

Her recent work was always fraught with mistakes; she was physically and mentally exhausted, all because of Ye Sihan.

What could she do to capture Ye Sihan’s attention again...

The door to the office knocked, and when she saw Yi Die entered, she was surprised at first, then quickly stood up with a smile, "Assistant Yi, has Sihan been looking for me?"

"No. I knew you were back and just came by to check on you."

Wu Qianqian’s disappointment was clearly written across her face as she turned and sat down on the sofa.

"You want to see Mr. Ye, you can go to his office to find him," Yi Die suggested.

"Now... I am just an artist in Caged Studio, nothing more," Wu Qianqian said listlessly.

"It’s really frustrating, who could have known that Mr. Ye would marry Xing Ling!"

Wu Qianqian was shocked, "What did you say? They got married? When did this happen?"

"While you were away! Xing Ling’s tactics are really impressive. She not only came from behind but also became Mrs. Ye."

"If only I had a family background to show for..."

"How can you belittle yourself like this? You are many times more beautiful than Xing Ling, and your career is taking off. Look, who’s the most popular in the entertainment circle now? Isn’t it you? What does Xing Ling have? Her family’s little assets are nothing in Mr. Ye’s eyes."

"Then what does Mr. Ye like about her?"

"I’ll tell you, a woman’s success doesn’t rely on family background or looks, but on her brain."

"You think I still have a chance? They’re already married."

"If they received their marriage certificate, why didn’t they have a wedding? Have you thought about the problem here?" Yi Die led her on.

"It means... Sihan doesn’t like Xing Ling that much," Wu Qianqian reasoned.

"Right! So what if they’re married? Divorce is even easier." Yi Die took her hand, "Actually, I’ve always been most optimistic about you. You are the one who suits Mr. Ye best."

The despondency on Wu Qianqian’s face vanished.

Under Yi Die’s guidance, she sneakily posted a selfie on a social media platform.

It was an old photo taken in a bar with Ye Sihan.

Ye Sihan saw it, but he didn’t scold her.

It showed tolerance.

Only she was in the selfie, with a man sitting beside her, and only his long leg was shown.

However, the value of that single long leg was enough to become a hot topic of discussion.

It led Yi Die’s fans to speculate whether Wu Qianqian was hinting that she had a boyfriend.

Xing Ling would not have paid attention to this, but after she went to KING Group and saw Yi Die, Yi Die asked her, "Did you see the recent trending search about Wu Qianqian?"

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Mr. Ye came back very late last night, didn’t he?"

"I know he was at KING Group."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Yi Die’s suggestive retort followed, and then she turned and walked away.

Xing Ling didn’t want to be suspicious, but she couldn’t help taking out her phone to check the hot search on the internet.

Yi Die inexplicably brought up Wu Qianqian; there must be a reason.

And then she saw that selfie of Wu Qianqian.

In the booth bathed in dim yellow light, there was a man and a woman.

It seemed to be only a selfie of Wu Qianqian, but the man’s leg was also in the frame.

And there was nothing else.

Xing Ling knew Ye Sihan all too well, so even a single leg was enough for her to recognize it was him.

Wu Qianqian even added a caption to the photo -- "The night is so wonderful."

No mention of love, no mention of romance.

But what made her feel wonderful?

Looking at the comments from her fans below, it was clear that the eyes of the public were sharp and their thoughts acute.

As Mrs. Ye, Xing Ling was only more sensitive.

She was furious and went to the office, didn’t find Ye Sihan, and left to ask others. They told her Ye Sihan was in a meeting.

Yi Die wanted to see Xing Ling lash out, no holds barred. Seeing Xing Ling barge into the ongoing meeting room, a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

What kind of man was Ye Sihan? Even if he had married Xing Ling, as a powerful and high-ranking man, how could he let a woman challenge his authority?

She was just waiting to watch the good show.

Once Xing Ling became disliked, what was a marriage certificate worth?

It would still be the same: married today, divorced tomorrow.

With a loud bang, Xing Ling burst into the meeting room, causing the ongoing meeting to stop as everyone looked at her with varying expressions.

They cautiously looked at the man sitting in a high position.

Ye Sihan’s black eyes slightly widened in surprise.

Xing Ling slammed her phone down on the table in front of him, "Care to explain? Where were you last night?"

Ye Sihan picked up his phone and saw the photo. He tapped the screen, and as the photo shrank, he discerned its source.

A cold light flashed through his slightly narrowed black eyes.

"You said you were dealing with urgent matters at KING Group, didn’t you? What is this? We’ve only been married for so short a time, and you’re already deceiving me?" Xing Ling was furious.

Beside her, Xiao Yu said, "Mr. Ye was indeed at the company last night, he didn’t go anywhere."

The other executives also testified, "Yes, I saw Mr. Ye."

"I saw him too."

"He didn’t finish until around twelve."

Xing Ling looked at those people; they were all Ye Sihan’s subordinates, his own people. Could their words be trusted?

She snatched the phone from Ye Sihan’s hand and turned to leave, exiting the conference room.

"Meeting adjourned." Ye Sihan was in no mood to continue the meeting and followed her out.

Of course, coaxing his wife was the priority.

Just as Xing Ling reached the elevator, she was pulled back into a firm embrace. "Let me go!"

"I have something to show you."

"I don’t want to see anything you have to... ah!" Her words of refusal weren’t even finished when she was lifted into the air, causing her to instinctively wrap her arms around Ye Sihan’s neck.

What a joke.

With Ye Sihan being so tall, if she fell, her buttocks would be untouchable for half a month.

"Ye Sihan, are you listening? I’m angry, put me down now!" she clamored.

Ye Sihan’s face loomed closer, and he kissed her small mouth.

Xing Ling’s face stiffened, and she paused in shock.

Even struggling seemed to be forgotten.

She was carried into the office.

The two women at the reception watched with eyes full of stars, "Oh my God, Mr. Ye kissed Mrs. Ye as if nobody else was around."

"I believe in love again~~"

Only Yi Die felt as if stricken by a blow.

How was this different from what she had expected?

Why did it make Mr. Ye more tolerant? Shouldn’t he dislike Xing Ling’s irresponsible behavior?

This was exactly what mature men detest!

Having placed Xing Ling in the office chair, Ye Sihan’s hands rested on the armrest, forming a cage, preventing her from getting up.

"What are you doing? I’m telling you, don’t even think about using force on me, and I don’t want to hear your explanations!"

Ye Sihan stared at her, affectionate ripples in his black eyes, his voice deep, "Then what do you want me to do?"

Xing Ling found herself at a loss for words.

Divorce?

She was afraid that if she mentioned it, Ye Sihan would agree.

But thinking of those photos, how could she, as the wife, swallow her pride?

Ye Sihan raised his hand to turn on the computer and pulled up the surveillance footage, "This is the surveillance of me from last night."

After hearing this, Xing Ling, though seemingly reluctant and still visibly upset, couldn’t help but look at the screen.

Ye Sihan was seen in his office the entire time in the footage, occasionally on the phone, occasionally attended by executives. Xiao Yu came in the most, busy with work-related matters.

The timeline in the bottom right corner was indeed from the previous night.

Xing Ling, perplexed, said, "But the legs in that photo are clearly yours!"

"You can tell they are mine just by seeing the legs?" Ye Sihan’s gaze intensively focused on her.

Xing Ling began to doubt herself. Could it not be?

Did someone else also have legs as attractive as Ye Sihan’s?

Looking back at the surveillance footage on the computer, she had to admit that she was mistaken.

Because surveillance footage doesn’t lie.

"Not angry anymore?" Ye Sihan cupped her entire small face in his palm, his gaze dominating her from above.

"I..." Knowing she was in the wrong, Xing Ling’s eyes darted around, her cheeks tinted with a faint blush. "It wasn’t like that, so naturally, I won’t be angry. If it was you... If it had been you, I would have left you."

"What did you say!" Ye Sihan’s hand tightened abruptly around her face.

"Ah! That hurts..." Xing Ling felt as if her cheeks were being crushed.

Realizing something, Ye Sihan’s hand trembled and he released Xing Ling’s face, taking a step back.

"Ye Sihan, you hurt me..." Xing Ling rubbed her face.

Although her cheekbones weren’t crushed, her skin was red.

The next second, a rough palm touched her face, the voice becoming huskier, "Let me look..."

His fingertips gently caressed her face.

Xing Ling felt extremely wronged, "Although I was wrong about you, did you have to squeeze my face that hard?"

Ye Sihan’s face moved in, kissing her reddened cheek. "I’m sorry, it was my fault, I won’t do it again."

"I know you didn’t mean it, otherwise I wouldn’t even bother with you," said Xing Ling petulantly.

"Don’t ever leave me, don’t ever ignore me," Ye Sihan’s eyes darkened once more.

Xing Ling paused, seemingly realizing that whenever she uttered such words, Ye Sihan’s expression would become terrifying.

So he was that afraid of being abandoned by her?
