Chapter 414 - 413: Encountered a Difficult Problem

Chapter 414: Chapter 413: Encountered a Difficult Problem

Xing Ling immediately felt somewhat triumphant, lifting both her hands to wrap around his neck, "It’s not like I really don’t want you, stop worrying needlessly."

Yet, Ye Sihan was very insistent, "Say it, that you won’t ever leave me or ignore me."

"Fine, I’ll say it. I will never leave you or ignore you," Xing Ling was not foolish, she added a condition, "but only if you never betray me."

"I never will."

Only then did Xing Ling feel satisfied, leaning in to kiss his cheek.

But Ye Sihan wasn’t satisfied, he gripped the back of her head, his thin lips fiercely pressed down on her small mouth.

He lacked a sense of security.

He needed Xing Ling to promise him over and over again.

To completely possess her was the only way for him to feel at peace.

Xing Ling had thought that Ye Sihan was just being possessive and that after a passionate kiss, everything would be fine.

But then, her clothes were torn off.

Ye Sihan seemed impatient, as if in the next second he was about to tear her apart and devour her.

"Ye Sihan..."

"I want you!"

"But... mm..." Xing Ling’s breathing trembled, unable to believe that she was sitting in the very chair where Ye Sihan usually worked, being fiercely claimed.

A sense of shame was inexplicably magnified.

It made her face flush with redness.

The irrational act almost made her faint.

"What are you calling me? Huh?" Ye Sihan’s breathing was hoarse, his strength almost crushing the person beneath him.

"Mmm, ah!" Crying out, Xing Ling’s body violently shuddered.

"Not going to call out?" Ye Sihan tormented her.

It was as if a beast was killing its prey, making the prey submit, willing to be eaten.

Xing Ling did not want to be tormented both mentally and physically, initially she bit her lip and remained silent, but later she simply could not bear it and cried out husband.

She was even forced to say unspeakable things.

Utterly devastated.

...

In the fierce storm, Xing Ling went limp as mud, her consciousness pulled away, fainting.

When Ye Sihan came to his senses, his expression shocked, he immediately looked at Xing Ling’s face.

Xing Ling was fast asleep.

And what he had just called out was... Ayu.

She didn’t hear it, did she...

When Xing Ling awoke, she was in bed.

Moving slightly, she felt as if her waist was about to break.

"Mmm..." Turning over, she saw through the floor-to-ceiling windows that the sky was already dark.

Behind her was the sound of a door opening, followed by the bed dipping, her body was pulled over, and she fell into warm, solid arms.

"Are you hungry?" Ye Sihan gently nipped at her pouting small mouth.

"Hmph." Xing Ling was displeased.

"Uncomfortable? Let me rub it for you." Ye Sihan’s large hand gripped her slender waist, pressing just right.

"Ah, it’s sore, be gentler..." Xing Ling whined.

While massaging her, Ye Sihan watched Xing Ling’s face carefully, he should not have heard the ’Ayu’ he accidentally called out.

They returned to Ye Mansion.

Xing Ling made a beeline for the dining room.

Uncle Wen smiled, "It’s been ready, you can eat now."

The dinner on the table was very sumptuous, making Xing Ling even hungrier.

She sat down to eat and asked, "Where are the quadruplets?"

"They’re still at Ice Castle! They thought you would have dinner and then come back. Madam, you eat first, I’ll call them over, otherwise you won’t be able to focus on your meal," Uncle Wen said.

Ye Sihan served her a bowl of soup, "Eat slowly, don’t choke."

Xing Ling gave him a glare, how dare he talk?

Would she be this hungry if not for him?

They had gotten up, and he had taken her another time.

She was supposed to have recovered a bit after sleeping all afternoon, but then her legs had gone soft again.

Walking was a tremble.

"My fault," Ye Sihan curved his lips in a smile.

Seeing his attitude of admission was not bad, Xing Ling decided not to hold a grudge.

That night, Xing Ling dreamt again.

It was that same sea.

She was still an observer.

She tried to save Tang Yu.

Tang Yu, don’t jump, you have children! Tang Yu!

Xing Ling awoke with a mix of sadness and bewilderment hidden in her open eyes.

Tang Yu... Ayu...

Belatedly recalling some details that surfaced during the afternoon in the office.

She was fiercely possessed by Ye Sihan, pinned deep into the chair.

In those final moments, the name Ye Sihan called out was not Aling, but... Ayu.

At this moment, as she was held in Ye Sihan’s arms, her heart felt as though it were soaked in a cold pool, losing all warmth.

Ye Sihan said she was not a substitute.

Yet during that act, his emotions erupted along with it, calling out Tang Yu’s name.

She actually really believed that Ye Sihan liked her...

Xing Ling closed her eyes and lay motionless.

As if she were asleep.

In fact, she had been awake all along, tormented by her own discovery.

Now that she was Mrs. Ye, she didn’t know what to do.

It wasn’t until dawn was about to break that she finally drifted off to sleep in a daze.

When Ye Sihan woke up, he saw that the person in his arms was still sleeping.

He kissed her tender face and lingered affectionately for a long time before getting out of bed.

Stepping out of the room, he just happened to intercept the quadruplets running his way.

"Where’s Mom?"

"Sleeping."

"We want to see her."

"No."

He took the quadruplets down to have breakfast.

Ye Sihan just sat there, looking at the company documents Xiao Yu had sent to his phone, with no intention of eating breakfast.

The quadruplets were already used to it.

They knew that Dad was supposed to have breakfast with Mom.

This meant that Mom wouldn’t be able to accompany them to school again.

They would only see Mom after returning in the afternoon...

After sending the quadruplets off in the car, Ye Sihan returned upstairs.

Xing Ling was still sleeping.

Ye Sihan sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at Xing Ling’s sleeping face.

Xing Ling was about to wake up, but when she twisted her head and saw Ye Sihan climbing into bed, she closed her eyes again, looking listless.

Ye Sihan’s body pressed down, covering her from above, "Haven’t slept well?"

"Almost," Xing Ling stirred a little under the covers.

Her response seemed cute.

Ye Sihan couldn’t help but kiss her small lips.

Xing Ling looked a little stunned and turned her face away.

"Are you rejecting me?"

"...I haven’t brushed my teeth."

"I’ll hold you," Ye Sihan picked her up from the bed and carried her towards the bathroom.

After washing up, Ye Sihan carried her out again and placed her at the table in the outer hall.

They ate together.

"I have to go to the office this morning, I’ll be back for lunch," Ye Sihan said.

"Don’t worry about me, go about your business."

Ye Sihan, seeing her absent-minded look, sensed something was wrong and reached out to pinch her jaw, turning her face towards him, "What’s wrong?"

Xing Ling met those unfathomably sharp black eyes, feeling as if she couldn’t hide anything from him.

What would Ye Sihan’s reaction be if she told him?

As she thought about it, the words already came out, "I dreamt of Tang Yu last night."

After she spoke, the atmosphere in the air changed noticeably.

The hand pinching her jaw unnoticeably withdrew.

"Dreamed about what?"

"Jumping into the sea." Xing Ling kept an eye on Ye Sihan’s expression.

Was he good at hiding it? It was really hard to see anything unusual.

"Did someone say something to you?" Ye Sihan’s voice was undisturbed.

His heart had already turned fierce.

"Are you worried about what others say to me? Are you afraid I’ll find out something?" Xing Ling asked.

"No." Ye Sihan looked at her, his gaze tranquil, "Don’t be influenced by her."

Xing Ling wanted to ask, is it me who is influenced, or is it only you?

You even call out Tang Yu’s name when doing that kind of thing.

Do you really see me as Xing Ling, or Tang Yu?

In the end, she didn’t ask anything.

She lowered her head and quietly ate her breakfast.

She had already confirmed that Ye Sihan only saw her as a replacement.

What was the point of bringing it up? To argue?

Would Ye Sihan say she was making a fuss over nothing, jealous of a ghost?

True, Tang Yu was dead and wouldn’t affect her status as Mrs. Ye.

It was just that there would always be a thorn in her heart...

Although Ye Sihan had gone to the company, as he sat there listening to Xiao Yu’s work report, he didn’t catch a single word.

Xiao Yu had finished reporting and noticed that Mr. Ye hadn’t budged.

He knew that not a word had gotten through.

"Mr. Ye, encountered any tough problems?"

"She dreamt, dreamt that Tang Yu jumped into the sea," Ye Sihan said.

Xiao Yu knew it had to do with Xing Ling, as no one else could cause Mr. Ye to be so out of sorts.

"Could she be about to recover her memory?" Ye Sihan’s expression was tense, he stood up, seeming agitated, "How could I let her recover her memory? Absolutely not."

Tang Yu wouldn’t want to stay by his side!
