Chapter 447: Chapter 446: Let me be alone

"She doesn’t like it," Ye Sihan said after a moment of silence, his voice strained with repression.

Xing Yanjie was surprised that Ye Sihan had actually changed; since Xing Ling didn’t like him, he obediently stayed away.

What a progress!

"How is she?" Ye Sihan asked.

"She looks calm, made me dinner, and now she’s resting in her room, probably about to go to sleep. What I want to tell you is not to press her too hard. If she insists on getting a divorce, just let her have it. As for that agreement, it’s void," Xing Yanjie went so far to say.

Although the Xing Family wasn’t as wealthy and powerful as Ye Sihan, they still held an upper-middle-class status among the rich.

There was no need to use such means to secure their interests.

However, the other party didn’t respond and simply hung up the call.

Xing Yanjie looked at his phone screen and wordlessly tossed the phone onto the table.

I just complimented you on making progress, and it was for nothing.

Xing Yanjie planned to see what Xing Ling was doing, to make sure she wasn’t wallowing in sorrow alone.

He knocked on the door, heard no sound, and entered with worry.

He then saw Xing Ling, who had taken a bath and was now sound asleep in bed.

It seemed she was really exhausted.

How could Xing Ling not be tired? She had barely slept the night before, and now that Ye Sihan wasn’t by her side, all her nerves relaxed.

She slept straight through until eight o’clock the next morning.

After washing up, she went out to see Xing Yanjie sitting on the sofa looking at his phone.

Hearing her, he turned to look, "You’ve nearly slept for ten hours, haven’t you?" He couldn’t help but wonder whether Xing Ling had ever had a good night’s sleep in the Ye Mansion.

Embarrassed, Xing Ling smiled, "Filming is tiring."

Xing Yanjie didn’t say anything, knowing it was useless to ask if Xing Ling was unwilling to talk.

After breakfast, Xing Ling took Xing Yanjie’s car to the set.

A handsome guy arrived on set, making everyone curious, secretly asking who he was.

When they found out, they asked Xing Ling if she could ask her second brother out for a meal.

All Xing Ling could say was she would ask him later.

Spending time with the people from the set was quite relaxing.

It was only at the end of the workday that she inevitably had to return to the Ye Mansion.

After shooting her last scene, Xing Ling looked up to see Ye Sihan, who had appeared out of nowhere and was standing not far away.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked down and walked aside to wash her hands.

Clean, she approached Ye Sihan.

Ye Sihan, who hadn’t seen her for just a day and a night, was unable to take his eyes off her, "Let’s go pick up the kids."

"Okay."

They went to the school to pick up the quadruplets and returned to the Ye Mansion; the quadruplets asked why their mommy hadn’t come home the previous night, and the excuse remained unchanged—work was busy.

She ended up sleeping with Ye Sihan again that night.

Before falling asleep, Xing Ling and Ye Sihan each kept to their own sides of the bed.

When she woke up in the morning, she found herself in Ye Sihan’s arms.

It was the same every day.

Five days later, the director announced that an investor had run off and they had to stop filming for a few days.

When they sort out a new investor, they would continue shooting.

Most of the actors were happy about this because it meant they had time to take on other activities.

But Xing Ling was the only one who felt disheartened and troubled.

With almost five days of work left, this delay was going to prolong it.

After such an announcement by the director, Xing Ling stood there, dazed for quite a while.

Coming back to her senses, she immediately went to find the director, "How much is still needed? I’ll cover it. Let’s just say I’m investing."

"This isn’t about the investment; it’s a bit more complicated. Don’t ask anymore, as soon as it’s settled, we’ll continue shooting. As for you, there’s no loss," the director said.

Xing Ling was anxious inside.

Her loss was far more significant than anyone else’s in the crew!

Xing Ling called Ye Sihan, "Where are you?"

"At the company."

"I’ll come to you," Xing Ling said and then hung up the phone.

About an hour later, Xing Ling entered KING Corporation and appeared before Ye Sihan.

Ye Sihan stood up and walked over to her, "What’s the matter?"

"The filming has been put on hold, did you orchestrate this?" Xing Ling asked.

"Is that so?"

Ye Sihan, apart from you, I can’t think of anyone else who would do this!" Xing Ling said, her chest heaving with anger.

Ye Sihan raised his hand to caress her face, trying to soothe her, "Calm down, I’ll talk to the director later."

It sounded as if he really had nothing to do with it.

But Xing Ling didn’t believe it!

She brushed off the hand on her face, "Don’t try to fob me off, call him now."

Ye Sihan really did listen to her, walked over to his desk, grabbed his phone and asked Xing Ling, "What’s the director’s contact information?"

Xing Ling gave it to him.

She waited quietly by his side, observing Ye Sihan’s facial expressions and tone of voice as he spoke with the director.

Ye Sihan barely spoke; it was mostly the other party talking.

Thus, Xing Ling couldn’t hear anything.

After hanging up the phone, he said, "The director has his own difficulties; it’s not good for me to intervene."

Xing Ling didn’t argue about this with him and hurriedly stepped forward, "If it really has nothing to do with you, then you solve this problem, just as a favor to me. I believe, with your overwhelming power and influence, this is just a matter of speaking a word."

"Even if I have the power and influence, once I step in, I would be owing someone a favor," Ye Sihan said.

This meant he wasn’t going to help.

Xing Ling looked into his eyes, feeling helpless, in pain, and angry, "Since when do you, Ye Sihan, speak like this? It’s obvious you did it, do you think I don’t know that? Just keep stalling! The more you do, the more I will detest you!"

Having said that, she left.

Ye Sihan moved quickly to grab her wrist and pulled her into his arms, "Don’t be mad, I’ll resolve this matter."

"Let go of me!" Xing Ling didn’t struggle but simply looked at him coldly, commanding.

Ye Sihan’s palm tightened for a moment and then slowly loosened under Xing Ling’s tear-filled eyes.

With her freedom regained, Xing Ling left without looking back.

Ye Sihan stared at his own empty palm.

Would it be the same after the filming ends, that the moment he agreed to the divorce, she would leave without looking back?

Didn’t she once say she had fallen in love with him?

Doesn’t she love him anymore?

What exactly does he have to do to make her fall in love with him again?

Ye Sihan felt such a sharp pain in his chest that he could hardly breathe, and his face turned pale.

Ever since Xing Ling had a fallout with him over the film crew issue, she would return to Ye Mansion at night, but she would not share a bed with Ye Sihan.

She had said, if he pressured her, she wouldn’t even stay at Ye Mansion.

It was all for the sake of the children, wanting to spend some last moments with them.

Anyway, she wouldn’t give Ye Sihan the chance to get close to her until the issue was resolved.

In the middle of the night, Ye Sihan entered the room and stood at the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping Xing Ling for a long time without moving.

The trouble with the film crew was indeed his doing; he only wanted to buy himself a little more time to see her.

To change Xing Ling’s mind about leaving.

Five days was simply not enough, too short...

Even at the cost of dragging this out, he was willing...

At least he could still see her...

During the day, Ye Sihan did not go to the company, but Xing Ling was unwilling to stay at Ye Mansion.

She told the butler she was going out.

When the car arrived, Xing Ling felt an oppressive presence approaching from behind.

She didn’t turn around, knowing who it was.

"Where are you going?"

"Leave me alone," Xing Ling said, then got into the car.
