Chapter 424: Chapter 423: Who Am I

Mr. Ye didn’t even look at him and left the office directly.

On the way to the Ye Mansion, Xing Ling’s emotions returned to normal.

Ye Sihan had Wen Bo fetch some thicker clothes and wrapped Xing Ling up before taking her to see the penguins at the Ice Castle behind.

As soon as she approached, the penguins crowded around her.

They flapped their little wings in a silly and adorable manner.

They even stood there and let Xing Ling pat their heads obediently.

One of the penguins was even wearing a red bow tie.

"It looks somewhat familiar," Xing Ling said.

"It’s Junjun’s bow tie," Ye Sihan said.

"Oh, right." A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Xing Ling’s mouth.

She didn’t say what had scared her, and Ye Sihan didn’t ask.

He wouldn’t stimulate her again; ever since she saw Xing Lan, Xing Ling’s nerves had become extremely frail.

And Xiao Yu would tell him exactly what was on that cell phone.

He stayed by Xing Ling’s side, never leaving her.

The children did the same when they came back.

Until Xing Ling fell asleep at night.

Ye Sihan, who was wide awake, left the room and called Xiao Yu in the corridor.

Xiao Yu shared the contents of the text messages from Xing Ling’s cellphone.

He didn’t know if it was the only one.

They looked up the strange number, and it was an untraceable burner.

Who that person was, their purpose, and even the location where Tang Yu jumped into the sea was known to them.

Many people knew the spot where Tang Yu jumped into the sea.

Who could it be? How to investigate?

"Let’s use a ruse," Ye Sihan said sternly, his complexion dark and grim.

"Yes," it was the only strategy they had now.

Ye Sihan clutched his cellphone so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

He would make that person regret ever living in this world!

Xing Ling had another nightmare.

This time, it wasn’t Tang Yu jumping into the sea, but Ye Sihan in bed with another woman.

Ye Sihan sat on the bed while that woman kneeled at its edge, doing...

This time, she was once again a bystander who stumbled upon the scene.

Crying, she asked him why he would do this to her...

"Aling, wake up, Aling..."

Xing Ling awoke, her gaze blank as she stared at Ye Sihan’s approaching face, so tense.

She felt her eyes were wet.

And tears were even sliding down.

It was an uncontrollable surge of emotion influenced by the dream.

"What did you dream about?" Ye Sihan’s voice was gentle, and even the action of wiping her tears was very light, as if he was afraid of hurting her. "Don’t be scared."

Xing Ling’s hand was on her chest, "It hurts..."

Ye Sihan’s body shook, and he picked her up, "I’ll take you to the hospital."

Xing Ling caught his arm, "It’s not..."

"What do you want to say?" Ye Sihan’s voice was hoarse as he used his thin lips to kiss her face.

"It’s just a nightmare, it doesn’t matter, everything’s fine once you wake up," Xing Ling didn’t say.

She saw Ye Sihan and another woman’s actions.

Even the woman’s face, it was Yi Die.

Once, Yi Die said she had slept with Ye Sihan, perhaps that claim influenced her to have such a dream!

So what about her? Was she just an observer or a victim?

If she was an observer, why did her chest feel so uncomfortable?

Even to the extent of waking up in tears.

But how could she possibly be the victim...

"Ye Sihan, I’m hungry..."

"All right, I’ll have them bring up breakfast," he replied.

"No need, let’s go downstairs. Together with the children," she said.

"All right."

After going downstairs, Xing Ling was surrounded by the quadruplets.

Ye Sihan, standing not far away, watched Xing Ling’s expression, which seemed unaffected by the nightmare.

Yet his heart continued to sink bit by bit.

Ye Sihan’s phone vibrated.

He took out his phone and glanced at it before turning to one side to answer the call.

Xing Ling looked up. Ye Sihan had his back to her, and she couldn’t hear his conversation, nor could she see his expression.

Having finished the phone call, Ye Sihan said, "Xiao Yu."

"Are we going to the company now?" Xing Ling asked.

"After we eat. The quadruplets don’t need to go to school today, they can stay at home with mom."

On a school day not having to go to school, the quadruplets were beyond thrilled!

Their dad suddenly became so nice, definitely a great dad!

During the meal, Xing Ling asked, "Where’s my phone?"

"In my office. I’ll bring it back later."

Xing Ling didn’t say anything more.

Nobody brought up what had happened, but she felt sure Ye Sihan must have known the contents of the text messages on her phone.

Indeed, with the quadruplets around, Xing Ling rarely had the chance to let her thoughts run wild.

After all, she had to deal with all four by herself.

It wasn’t until noon that Ye Sihan returned.

And he brought back her phone with him.

"Are you done with work?" Xing Ling asked.

"Hmm," he had found Xing Lan.

Xing Lan at first denied that she sent the messages.

What methods had Ye Sihan used?

Even the most stubborn lips could be pried open by him.

In the end, Xing Lan admitted someone sent her a text asking her to provoke Xing Ling.

She also admitted that on the first day she met Xing Ling, she told her who was the real Xing Family heiress.

Unfortunately, the number that sent the text to Xing Lan was also a burner.

Nothing to trace back to.

Ye Sihan even suspected Ye Yuli, who had left the country, but there was no evidence.

When Xing Ling was alone in her room, she deliberately checked the messages in her phone.

That address had been deleted.

However, she remembered it in her head.

Xing Ling wasn’t oblivious to the recent changes in her own emotions.

The once cheerful her was now full of worries.

Even if she didn’t want to, her mind would drift off.

She asked herself, did she really want to continue like this?

She always felt trapped.

Unable to find a way out.

So lost in thought, she only noticed Ye Sihan approaching when he was close by.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing... I want to take a shower."

"I’ll accompany you."

"No, I’m a bit tired, I can manage by myself," Xing Ling refused.

She put down her phone and went into the bathroom.

Ye Sihan looked at the closed bathroom door, his expression grave.

She now knew everything, yet she hadn’t asked.

Did he really need to take the initiative to tell her she was Tang Yu?

A sharp snap echoed from the bathroom.

Ye Sihan’s body jerked, and he rushed towards the bathroom.

The door opened.

Xing Ling stared blankly at the shattered cup on the floor and explained to the person entering, "I accidentally dropped it..."

Ye Sihan immediately picked her up and carried her out of the bathroom, setting her on the bed to inspect her fair feet.

After checking both feet and seeing no injury, his expression finally eased.

Watching Ye Sihan’s anxious demeanor, Xing Ling, without much thought, asked, "Ye Sihan, am I Tang Yu?"

Ye Sihan’s figure slightly tensed, his dark eyes concealing his emotions.

After a moment, he lifted his face to look at her, "You’re not."

"Really? Ye Sihan, actually, it’s okay if you tell me," Xing Ling was prepared for the truth.

She didn’t want to live in confusion.

"I’m not lying to you," there was no sign of deceit in Ye Sihan’s expression.

"But if I’m not Xing Ling, then who am I?"

"Of course, you’re Xing Ling. Your older and second brothers couldn’t be clearer about that."

Xing Ling looked at him, then suddenly stood up and wandered over to the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze.

But she could only see her reflection imprinted on the glass.

Even the bewildered look on her face was clear to see.

And there was Ye Sihan, approaching from behind her.
