Quadruplets’ Charm: The Tycoon’s Hidden Heirs
Chapter 416 - 415: The Duties of a Wife

Chapter 416: Chapter 415: The Duties of a Wife

Xing Yanjie didn’t speak but glanced at Ye Sihan before turning around and walking towards the door.

Xing Ling followed, changing her shoes.

Just as she was lifting her foot, her arm tightened, and she was pulled over—

"Ah!" Xing Ling lost her balance and fell into Ye Sihan’s arms. "What are you doing? I’m going out with my elder brother..."

Before she could finish, the door closed.

Looking again, Xing Yanjie had left by himself, with absolutely no intention of waiting for her.

Is this... is this what an elder brother is like?

"Wife, are you mad at me? Huh?" Ye Sihan’s voice was low and hoarse. "If I did something wrong, I’ll change."

"I’m not mad at you, I’m just in a bad mood, maybe my period is coming... Don’t touch me." Xing Ling struggled in his arms, "Ye Sihan..."

"Alright, I won’t touch." Ye Sihan let her go.

Otherwise, with Xing Ling’s tickling-strength, she wouldn’t have been able to break free.

Xing Ling stood a meter away, "Aren’t you going back?"

"No rush."

Xing Ling ignored him and turned back to her room.

She sat on the couch in her room, half-expecting Ye Sihan to come in, but he didn’t.

He hasn’t left, right?

She didn’t hear the sound of the door closing.

If he hadn’t left, what was he doing out there?

When was he planning to leave?

Xing Ling sat and stood in her room, and occasionally pressed her ear against the door to listen for any noise outside.

Nothing at all.

He couldn’t have already left, could he?

Almost two hours passed, and there was still no sound from outside.

Xing Ling couldn’t help but open the door and walk out.

She locked eyes with Ye Sihan, who was sitting on the couch in the living room.

A look of discomfort flashed across Xing Ling’s face, "I’m getting my phone."

She walked over and grabbed her phone from the coffee table.

After taking it and preparing to leave, she stopped and asked, "When are you going back? The quadruplets are still at home!"

"If you’re worried about the kids, why don’t we go back together?"

"I’m not their real mother, what does it matter if I go back or not!" Xing Ling said, and the atmosphere in the air went silent.

She felt like she had said something she shouldn’t have.

Not daring to look into Ye Sihan’s eyes, she fled back to her room in a panic.

Back in her room, Xing Ling held her head with both hands, filled with regret.

Why did she say that?

The quadruplets consider her their real mother, and she was married to Ye Sihan.

What would Ye Sihan think? How upset would the quadruplets be if they heard?

Xing Ling felt her mood was utterly terrible!

After taking a bath and lying in bed, she didn’t care whether Ye Sihan had left or not; she had no desire to check.

Perhaps he had left while she was bathing...

She lay in bed, her thoughts in disarray, until she fell asleep.

At midnight, around twelve o’clock, Ye Sihan pushed the door open and came in.

The lights in the room were still on, and the person on the bed slept soundly, unaffected, with a section of her small waist exposed, completely unguarded.

Ye Sihan walked over, stood at the edge of the bed, and gazed at that peaceful sleeping face with his deep black eyes.

He watched for a good while before turning to go to the bathroom to shower.

After showering, he got into bed and cuddled with Xing Ling as they both fell asleep.

Xing Ling shifted slightly, automatically finding a comfortable position in Ye Sihan’s arms, and continued to sleep soundly.

Ye Sihan’s gaze softened as he watched her compliant form, melting his heart into a puddle.

His thin lips kissed her forehead, her nose, and landed on her soft pink lips.

He heard from Xing Yanjie that Xing Ling was upset because she felt like a replacement.

Why would she think that? Was it because of that dream, or something else...

In the morning, when Xing Ling woke up, her sleepy eyes gazed at the strong male chest in front of her.

For a moment she didn’t realize what was odd.

After all, she woke up in Ye Sihan’s arms every day and was used to seeing this scene.

About ten seconds later, her mind cleared up, she looked up, and with a shock, her gaze met Ye Sihan’s deep and knowing black eyes.

"Morning." His voice was deep, husky, and sensual.

Xing Ling suddenly drew back, looking at him defensively, "Why are you in my bed? Did you sleep here last night?"

He was wearing PJs, not looking like someone who just lay down for a moment.

But like someone who had slept for a night!

"The sofa was uncomfortable, and it couldn’t even fit my legs, so I had to sleep here," Ye Sihan said as a matter of course.

"Then you could’ve slept in my elder brother’s bed!"

"It’s either sleep with you or sleep alone."

"You could’ve gone back to Ye Mansion!" Xing Ling felt her brain was muddled with anger.

To actually let him sleep in her elder brother’s bed?

She should’ve told him to leave the apartment directly, right?

"It was too late; I didn’t want to run back and forth." Ye Sihan sat up, and the blankets slid down, revealing the very sexy shape of his broad shoulders and narrow waist under his pajamas.

Xing Ling bit her lip.

This man was totally playing dirty, wasn’t he?

She threw off the covers and got out of bed to wash up.

Full of irritation, why hadn’t she noticed something was off about the bed last night?

Sleeping in until broad daylight!

With such low guards, someone could throw her onto the street and she wouldn’t even know!

After freshening up and coming out, Ye Sihan’s figure was no longer on the bed in the bedroom.

She left the room.

And smelled something fragrant.

She also heard noises coming from the kitchen.

Ye Sihan was making breakfast...

Why wasn’t her brother making breakfast?

Xing Ling went to another room, pushed the door open, and saw the bed was neat and tidy, obviously untouched.

Clearly, Xing Yanjie hadn’t come back all night!

That’s just going too far!

In the past, she guarded herself against any man who got close to her, including Ye Sihan!

And now?

Once married, they couldn’t wait to shove her into Ye Sihan’s arms!

Isn’t that gap a bit too wide?

"Aling, breakfast is ready." Ye Sihan was calling her.

Xing Ling walked over and said haughtily, "I won’t eat the breakfast you make!" After saying that, she turned to leave.

She was pulled back by Ye Sihan, tender yet domineering, "You must eat breakfast."

Xing Ling’s waist was fixed in place, frustrated, "What if I don’t eat?"

"Then I’ll eat you."

"..."

Xing Ling was pressed to sit down at the dining table.

She didn’t dare challenge the truth in Ye Sihan’s words, for if her brother was not there, she might indeed be...

It was a bowl of noodles, brought to her, causing Xing Ling to pause when she saw it.

Because an egg sunny-side up in a heart shape was in the bowl, and it made her heart skip a beat and her face felt uncomfortable.

"What’s with this shaped egg, I don’t want to eat..."

Ye Sihan’s dark eyes looked deeply at her.

The son takes after her in his prideful demeanor.

Both are equally adorable.

"I’ve never treated you as a replacement," he said. "Everything I told you in the hospital after waking up was true."

Xing Ling felt anxious being seen through, embarrassed, and angered.

She knew it must have been her brother and Ye Sihan who talked.

How dare they betray her!

"I am more aware than anyone who you are," Ye Sihan said huskily.

Tang Yu is Xing Ling, and Xing Ling is also Tang Yu.

"Then why did you... call me Ayu?" Xing Ling couldn’t help but let it out.

Ye Sihan’s face tightened; he had indeed heard it.

"You heard it wrong; it was Aling."

Xing Ling had thought Ye Sihan would explain himself or admit his mistake, but she didn’t expect an outright denial.

She clearly heard Ayu.

She didn’t want to say anything else, she looked down, picked up her chopsticks, and started slurping noodles into her mouth.

Ye Sihan watched her, wanting to clutch her hand but held back, knowing he would be rejected.

It was evident Xing Ling didn’t believe his explanation.

And that was all he could say.

He would rather be misunderstood than tell her she was Tang Yu.

After finishing her noodles, Xing Ling sat on the sofa in the living room.

Ye Sihan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and walked behind her, his tall shadow loomed over her as he leaned down, "I’m heading to the company, do you want to come along?"

"No, I’ll go check on my brother’s company later."

"Take my car."

"No need."

Ye Sihan’s hand locked around her neck from behind, his lips lightly biting her ear and causing Xing Ling’s body to shudder, "Umm... take your hand away..."

"Let me take you."

It sounded like a humble plea.

But his actions were so domineering!

Xing Ling didn’t want to stay alone in the apartment with Ye Sihan. In the end, she had no choice but to get into Ye Sihan’s car to head to Xing Yanjie’s company.

Along the way, Xing Ling’s attention was on the view outside the car window, not initiating conversation.

She ignored the fact that she was being watched the entire time.

"Aling, don’t ignore me," Ye Sihan spoke up.

"I have the right to remain silent."

"Correct, with me, you have 100% freedom," Ye Sihan was easy to talk to, respecting her wishes.

"Don’t worry, now that I’m your wife, I won’t ignore you," Xing Ling said indifferently, as if she planned to fulfill her duties as a wife.

"Does that include sex?"

Xing Ling glared at him, "Not included!"

"Sex is also a duty of a wife."

"Going against a woman’s will is illegal!"

Ye Sihan nodded, "Okay, I’ll wait until you agree before I touch you."

Xing Ling sneered internally, keep waiting then!

When the car stopped, Xing Ling got out.

She just exited the car when she saw Ye Sihan following suit, "Why are you getting out of the car?"
