Chapter 455: Chapter 454: We Should Get Divorced After Finishing the Film

After about a minute, she felt the edge of the bed sink down.

She knew Ye Sihan had sat down behind her.

Xing Ling felt a great pressure, uncomfortable.

Yet, she still fell asleep unconsciously.

After she fell asleep, Ye Sihan lay beside her and took her into his arms.

If he had appeared earlier, would Xing Ling have not been hurt?

That was for sure.

The only thing Ye Sihan hated was that he had arrived too late.

Despite his vast power, he couldn’t protect the woman he loved.

The only person he hated was himself!

Xing Ling slept for a long time.

When she woke up, the room was very quiet. She glanced at the time next to her; it was nearly six o’clock.

By this time, the children must have returned, right?

Xing Ling threw back the covers, got dressed, and hurried out of the room.

Reaching the downstairs hall, she immediately saw the quadruplets at the couch.

The quadruplets also saw her, their eyes lighting up as they ran over happily—

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

All four surrounded their mother, clinging to her legs.

Xing Ling felt a sourness in her heart and heat around her eyes as she knelt down and embraced them, "When did you get back? Mommy overslept."

"Daddy said Mommy worked hard and told us not to disturb you," Junjun said.

Xing Ling looked up at Ye Sihan walking towards her.

"Mommy isn’t at home because of work, and Daddy is nowhere to be seen," Zhengzheng complained.

"Did you go off to do something naughty?" Haohao asked.

Xibao immediately glared at Daddy, huffy.

Ye Sihan scooped her up in one move, and also kicked Haohao’s backside, "Don’t talk nonsense."

"Mommy, Daddy kicked me!" Haohao tattled.

"Daddy is also very busy with work. I can testify that he didn’t do anything naughty," Xing Ling said, looking at her four adorable children, feeling an indescribable bitterness inside.

If Ye Sihan hadn’t been smart enough, she would never have been able to see her children in her lifetime.

She was grateful to Ye Sihan, but gratitude was one thing, spending the rest of her life with him was quite another.

"Mr. Ye, is it time for dinner now?" Uncle Wen inquired as he walked over.

Xing Ling was surprised, "Haven’t the children eaten yet?"

Uncle Wen replied, "The young masters and miss insisted on waiting for Mrs. Ye to join them for the meal!"

Seeing her children so well-behaved and understanding, Xing Ling tenderly ruffled their little heads, "You’ll starve."

"Mommy, we’re not hungry!"

"Mm, we had some snacks at school!"

"We wanted to eat with Mommy!"

"We missed Mommy so much!"

Xing Ling’s heart was a tumult of emotions.

She couldn’t talk to the children about what had happened to her, nor could she discuss her relationship with Ye Sihan with them, let alone tell them she was planning to leave this place.

Xing Ling didn’t lack love for them, she loved them very much, more than her own life.

But being alive, the days that passed like years were truly torture.

It was as if her soul was trapped in a dark and endless void, unable to find a way out.

If she wanted to lessen the scars life had dealt her, she absolutely had to stay away from Kyoto, away from Ye Sihan.

Her children would understand her feelings if they knew, wouldn’t they...

After sending the children off to school, Xing Ling and Ye Sihan parted ways.

The car took her to the apartment, where she stayed all the time.

Xing Yanjie wanted to stay at home to keep her company, but she pushed him out the door.

She wanted to be alone and quiet.

Either staring into space, watching movies, or sleeping.

When Ye Sihan entered, he saw Xing Ling lying on the sofa, sound asleep.

He didn’t do anything; he just sat down on the opposite sofa, watching her.

Xing Ling woke up naturally, and was startled to see an extra person in the living room.

She sat up, supporting her still-foggy head, "When did you get here?"

"Why don’t you sleep in bed?" Ye Sihan looked at her quietly.

"I wasn’t planning to sleep. Is it time to pick up the kids?" Xing Ling reached for her phone and checked the time.

The time to pick up the children had already passed.

Then, there was a noise at the door, the door opened, and the quadruplets ran in first, followed by Xing Yanjie.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

All of them climbed onto the sofa, quickly surrounding Xing Ling.

"You’re back, sorry, Mommy accidentally overslept," Xing Ling apologized.

"It’s okay, Mommy worked so long, you should rest more!" Junjun said sensibly.

"Can Mommy stop working in the future?" Zhengzheng asked.

"It’s not like the family can’t support Mommy." Haohao.

"The whole family supports Mommy." Xibao.

Xing Ling not only didn’t smile, but she also seemed somewhat stunned there.

She didn’t know how to react; she just felt immense pressure inside.

Was she just to be supported now?

Was that all her life would be? Staying by Ye Sihan’s side until she died...

The quadruplets noticed their mommy’s reaction; was she unhappy? Did they say something wrong?

Ye Sihan stood up and shooed the quadruplets, "As soon as you come back, you pounce on Mommy. Have you washed your hands? Go wash them now."

"Oh." The quadruplets, their attention diverted, all got down from the sofa and headed to the washroom.

Ye Sihan sat down next to Xing Ling, his dark eyes deeply looking at her, "Let’s go out to eat."

Xing Ling came back to her senses and asked, "When can I start filming the drama?"

Xing Yanjie sat down, "Why the rush? You need to rest more."

"I’m fine now," Xing Ling said. "There are only a few days of filming left. I want to finish it, so I don’t feel like I’ve left something incomplete."

"I’ll ask the crew later," Ye Sihan said.

Xing Ling didn’t respond.

She thought Ye Sihan was just brushing her off again.

And why did she have to ask Ye Sihan about filming? It made it seem like he was her agent.

After dinner, they returned to Ye Mansion.

The car stopped in front of Ye Mansion, and the quadruplets jumped out and ran ahead.

Xing Ling cautioned them, "Run slowly, don’t fall."

"We won’t!"

Standing beside her, Ye Sihan said, "Can you film tomorrow?"

Xing Ling was slightly stunned, then turned to look at him, "I can film?"

"I pulled some strings," Ye Sihan said.

Xing Ling didn’t know whether he was telling the truth or not, and said out of politeness, "Thank you."

"You never need to thank me," Ye Sihan’s gaze was knowing, as if undercurrents flowed within.

Xing Ling turned her face away and went to find the children without seeing the look of disappointment in Ye Sihan’s eyes.

Xing Ling wanted Ye Sihan to understand that there was no possibility between them anymore.

No matter what he did, it would be in vain.

At night, Xing Ling came out of the children’s room and had reached her bedroom door when her arm was suddenly gripped, pulling her to a stop.

She turned back in surprise to meet Ye Sihan’s dark, brooding eyes.

"Weren’t we supposed to sleep together?"

Xing Ling pulled her arm out of his grip, "Is that necessary? It’s only a few days until the shoot ends, and then we’re getting a divorce."

Ye Sihan suppressed the pain in his heart, "Ayu..."

"I want to be honest with you, every day I spend with you, I feel terrible, both physically and mentally. I’m sorry..." After saying that, Xing Ling pushed the door open and went inside.

The door slammed shut.

Ye Sihan stood stiff at the door, breathing roughly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Moments later, as if he couldn’t stand, he leaned against the door, bending over as though overwhelmed by his fragility.
