Quadruplets’ Charm: The Tycoon’s Hidden Heirs
Chapter 417 - 416

Chapter 417: 416

"There’s more than one company in this building, let me take you there."

Xing Ling turned her face to look at the skyscrapers. It was her first time here, and she hadn’t called her second brother, so she really didn’t recognize the place.

"I could ask my second brother to come get me..." Before she could finish her sentence, her hand was pulled along.

Xing Ling couldn’t break free from the grip as she was led all the way to the entrance of Xing Yanjie’s company.

"This is the place," Ye Sihan’s palm tightened before releasing, "I won’t go in."

After speaking, he really turned and left.

Xing Ling watched Ye Sihan’s tall figure walk away, her emotions extremely complex.

She was clearly unhappy about being treated as a replacement by Ye Sihan, yet as she watched him leave, her mood didn’t get any better, but sank even lower.

What exactly do I want...

"Ling?" Xing Yanjie walked out of the company.

"Second brother, I came to visit," Xing Ling returned to her senses.

"Come in." Once in the office, Xing Yanjie instructed the assistant to bring some food and then asked, "How did you get here?"

"I came in Ye Sihan’s car."

"Did you make up?"

"There’s nothing to make up or not make up with, it’s just like this," Xing Ling appeared listless.

Xing Yanjie sat down smiling, put an arm around her shoulder, "I think, even if Ye Sihan had feelings for Tang Yu in the past, that’s all history now. You’re the most important one at the moment."

"How do you know? If he really had no feelings for Tang Yu, why would he marry me then?"

"Liking someone isn’t just about looks, it’s also about her character. Your personality is definitely different from Tang Yu’s; Ye Sihan likes what’s inside you."

"Second brother, why are you defending Ye Sihan in every matter now?"

"I’m not speaking for him, it’s the truth. Besides, didn’t I advise you to think twice before acting? Ye Sihan marrying you turned out much better than I had expected!"

"What were your expectations?"

"To be toyed with by Ye Sihan, and then dumped."

"..." Xing Ling’s mouth twitched. You’re even harsher!

"I also heard some gossip from the entertainment industry yesterday."

"What gossip?"

"Wu Qianqian left the studio within the KING Group. All the resources that were meant for her are gone."

Xing Ling was surprised, "Why?"

"What else could it be? Ye Sihan must be afraid you’ll misunderstand his relationship with Wu Qianqian!"

"I never doubted them..." The misunderstanding from the photo had already been resolved.

"Right, you didn’t doubt them. It’s Ye Sihan who wanted to avoid suspicion, and that’s pretty good already!"

Xing Ling didn’t respond.

Apart from the issue with Tang Yu, Ye Sihan was indeed very good to her.

Maybe I really am being too petty?

But no one would accept someone using another’s name during such intimate moments, right?

If they ever got intimate again, she’d have a psychological shadow!

Xing Yanjie only knew part of the story!

After a while, the assistant came to summon Xing Yanjie for something, and he went to another department.

Xing Ling sat alone on the couch, playing with her phone.

She specifically searched for Wu Qianqian.

There was no scandal at all.

It seemed to be completely hushed up.

Just as Xing Ling was about to put her phone aside, she spaced out when she saw the date on the screen.

Her period was five days late!

Could she be pregnant?

Xing Ling was so scared that she sat up straight!

Pregnant at this time?? Don’t joke around! She was still mad at Ye Sihan!

They hadn’t even resolved their issues yet!

The more Xing Ling thought about it, the more wrong it felt. Her periods had always been very regular, at most a day or two late, but now it was five days!

Isn’t it medically said that over five days is a sign of pregnancy?

When Xing Yanjie returned to the office after being busy, he found Xing Ling wasn’t there.

He called her, and she said she went out for a walk.

"Why wander around alone?" Xing Yanjie was worried.

"Oh come on, I’m an adult, what could happen? I’m just around the corner, I’ll be back soon."

Xing Yanjie figured, maybe a walk might improve her mood?

Xing Ling hadn’t thought to buy a pregnancy test, she seemed unaware of such things.

So she went directly to the hospital.

Once at the hospital, she registered, provided a urine sample, had a blood test, and waited.

Xing Ling sat anxiously on the bench.

What if she was pregnant?

She felt that she would definitely keep it.

This could be her first child.

Even if Ye Sihan didn’t want her, she wouldn’t abandon the child.

"Xing Ling?"

Xing Ling turned her face and saw a tall man approaching with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Meng Jilin smiled as he walked up to her. "What are you doing here? Feeling unwell?"

"Isn’t the hospital you work at a different one?" Xing Ling asked, puzzled.

"Yes, I came here to exchange some academic insights with a friend. I was about to leave but then I saw you," Meng Jilin said. "Are you waiting for a report?"

Xing Ling nodded. "I have to wait half an hour," she said.

"How long have you been waiting?" he asked.

"About five or six minutes," she replied.

Without another word, Meng Jilin pulled out his phone and made a call.

Xing Ling heard Meng Jilin mention a name and asked the person on the other end for a favor to hurry up.

After hearing something from the caller, he ended the conversation.

"You’re pregnant?" Meng Jilin asked.

Xing Ling was embarrassed.

"I’m a doctor, and right now you have a free one at your service. Why not take advantage?" Meng Jilin said with a laugh.

"It’s just... my period is five days late. I don’t know if I’m pregnant."

"It can’t be pregnancy."

"How do you know that?"

"Your womb has been through a serious trauma; it’s impossible for you to be pregnant again," Meng Jilin said bluntly.

In shock, Xing Ling expressed her dissatisfaction. "Are you mistaking me for Tang Yu?"

"If you don’t believe me, you can go get checked yourself. Though, you can’t tell Ye Sihan about this suggestion, or I will be in trouble," Meng Jilin said, looking at his watch. "Your report should be ready soon, wait another five minutes. I have to go now."

The conversation had been appropriately concise.

It only made Xing Ling even more suspicious.

It piqued her interest.

Five minutes later, Xing Ling went to the machine to get her report.

As expected, the results were out.

Not pregnant.

Meng Jilin had been right.

Could it be true... that what he said about her womb was true as well?

How could it be? Xing Ling had no memory of suffering any major accidents.

Xing Ling certainly wasn’t going to believe a word from a stranger!

But as she walked out of the hospital, her steps halted, and then she paced back again.

No problem, she wasn’t believing Meng Jilin’s words; she was merely checking if there was anything related to conception that required attention!

Having married Ye Sihan, of course, she hoped to have a child.

It would solidify her relationship with Ye Sihan.

Aren’t children said to be the bridge between a couple?

Truth be told, if Tang Yu had not died, the bridge between her and Ye Sihan would have been exceptionally solid!

Just as she entered the hospital, Meng Jilin who had not left, appeared from around the corner of the hospital entrance.

His expression was solemn.

As soon as Xing Ling underwent the examination, she would find out the problem.

It’s always more credible for someone to find things out on their own than to hear it from someone else.

Xing Ling sat in front of the doctor, listening to him incessantly talk about her symptoms that indicated she could not get pregnant.

He even mentioned that she had given birth before.

It was as if she was listening to a fantasy.

"What... what are you talking about? Have you confused me with another patient?" Xing Ling was amused, her head buzzing. "I have never had a child!"

"I am a doctor, and the data doesn’t lie," the doctor stated gravely. "Do you have pregnancy stretch marks on your abdomen? Most people have them."

"Those are stretch marks from being overweight."

"If you’re talking about stretch marks on the thighs, that’s normal. Do you know how overweight a person has to be to get stretch marks on their abdomen? At least over three hundred pounds. Have you ever been that heavy?"

Xing Ling’s throat tightened, and she couldn’t speak.

Then, without saying anything more, she snatched the report angrily and left.

Standing at the hospital entrance, she looked over the report again and again.

Apart from her familiar name, everything else was utterly foreign.

So foreign that it made her head spin.

What’s going on?

Why are the results like this?

The phone in her bag started ringing. Taking it out, she saw the incoming call was from Ye Sihan.

Xing Ling dared not answer.

Before she had entered the hospital, she had already had issues with Ye Sihan, but now her feelings were of guilt.

Had she actually had a child with another man behind Ye Sihan’s back? Where was the child?

If Ye Sihan found out, he would certainly divorce her, wouldn’t he?!

No, she couldn’t remember much about her past, so her family must know!

Xing Ling rushed into a taxi hurriedly heading to Xing Yanjie’s company.

When she burst into the office, Xing Yanjie was in the middle of a discussion with a subordinate. Seeing the pale-faced Xing Ling rush in, he gestured for the subordinate to leave and asked, "What’s wrong?"
