Chapter 125 -125: The Body Instinctively Goes on Alert
“Stop drinking,” Tang Yu felt uncomfortable and guilty. She then turned and walked over to Ye Sihan, “Why do you have to be like this? Whatever you say goes, okay?”
In the studio, the assistants, the fame, she listened to him about everything!
When Ye Sihan heard this, the pressure emanating from his body suddenly intensified, silencing everyone present.
“Is that your attitude?” Ye Sihan’s raised black eyes were sharp, frostily cold.
“The things you gave me, I… I couldn’t accept them at first,” Tang Yu softened, speaking in a more gentle and yielding tone.
“You’ve accepted them now? Weren’t you the one not answering calls? Who gave you the courage?” Ye Sihan said coldly.
Tang Yu pursed her lips, “I didn’t dare to answer.” What she said was ‘didn’t dare’, not ‘didn’t want to’, “I won’t do it again.”
The people around didn’t move, feeling pressured into being mere backdrops.
They thought to themselves: Mr. Ye’s expression is as cold as frost, but why does it feel like a quarreling couple?
This must be an illusion, right?
“Can I take Sister Xue away? I’ll go to the studio tomorrow,” Tang Yu pleaded, standing there like a repeat offender who had made a mistake.
In front of Ye Sihan, she seemed particularly vulnerable, helpless, and pitiable.
But her eyes were defiant.
During the waiting, the time felt like a slow torture, the air itself seemed to stagnate.
The oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe.
“Don’t let there be a next time.”
Tang Yu felt almost suffocated before she heard that low voice granting clemency, which she reacted to a little slowly, was he really letting her take Li Xue away without any punishment?
“Don’t make me regret this.” Ye Sihan’s dark eyes locked onto her.
“…Thank you.” Tang Yu came back to her senses, turned around to support Li Xue, and led her out of the private room under that sharp gaze.
Li Xue was already unsteady on her feet, leaning on Tang Yu.
“Sister Xue, how are you feeling? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Tang Yu asked with concern.
“Go… what hospital, I didn’t drink… much, just that the alcohol was strong… ah, did you get the money?”
Tang Yu couldn’t help but laugh; if she could still think about money, things couldn’t be that bad.
“Do you need to go back and get it?”
“Never mind, I… regard money as if it’s dirt…”
By the time they got home and got her into bed, Li Xue was completely unconscious.
Tang Yu tried to feed her some honey water, but got no response after calling her several times.
So, she went to get a towel to wipe her face.
In the meantime, she went to check on the children in another room.
The four little ones slept soundly in disarray, cute and adorable.
Tang Yu kissed their little cheeks, which still smelled sweetly of milk.
Li Xue made a call when she was being taken away, which Tang Yu didn’t get, leading to this incident.
At that time, she must have been worried about the children left alone at home, even though the four little ones were already asleep at that point.
The next day, Li Xue woke up with an excruciating headache and came out of her room.
Just as Tang Yu was preparing breakfast, she hurried over to ask, “Sister Xue, are you alright?”
“That liquor was really strong, it could’ve made me pass out on the main road without even realizing it,” Li Xue took the tea Tang Yu poured for her.
“I’m sorry, Sister Xue, it’s all because of me… that you ended up like this…” Tang Yu felt guilty.
“Is it because you didn’t accept his offer to start a company for you?”
Tang Yu nodded.
Li Xue was so surprised that it overshadowed her headache, “Isn’t this a small matter? If you don’t like it, isn’t that simpler?”
“Ye Sihan’s need for control is terrifying, you can’t defy him, not even a little,” Tang Yu had learned deeply. “Anyway, it’s unlikely anyone will have the nerve to expose my affairs by then.”
“Have you really not considered Ye Yuli’s side?” Li Xue was thinking of a backup for her.
Tang Yu didn’t reply.
“Are you worried that Ye Sihan might retaliate against me?”
Tang Yu hadn’t expected to be seen through.
“I hadn’t thought about it before, but tonight’s incident has given me this idea.” Li Xue took her hand, “What could be more important than the children? I don’t want you to live every day in fear. A person whose body and heart have lost freedom, isn’t that the same as being in prison?”
“Sister Xue, you don’t know Ye Sihan. He’s ruthless and capable of anything.” Tang Yu shook her head, not daring to take the risk at all.
“Is he going to kill me?” Li Xue frowned.
Tang Yu didn’t speak; she didn’t want to scare Li Xue—she had seen Ye Sihan firing a gun. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Although Tang Yu said nothing, Li Xue could already see the struggle on her face.
Could he really be a killer?
Then she thought about the fact that Ye Sihan held tremendous power in the capital; if he truly wanted someone to disappear without a trace, it would be all too easy.
“Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out.” Tang Yu said.
But Li Xue felt that this ‘something’ was not easy to come up with.
Tang Yu went to the set to shoot a scene in the morning, then rested in her trailer after finishing.
The assistant would cook for her right in the trailer, making sure she had meals ready to eat, whatever she wanted.
The fridge was even stocked with various premium fruits.
After eating, she’d lie down on the bed for a nap.
This treatment was more generous than that of the most popular, richest, and most famous stars.
When Tang Yu had finished all her scenes for the day, it was in the afternoon.
She saw that there was still time and that there was nothing to do if she went back.
However, even if it were late, she had to visit KING Group—something she had talked about with Ye Sihan in the bar the night before.
If she didn’t go, who knew what terrible thing Ye Sihan might do…
As Tang Yu headed to her nanny van, she overheard complaints from a fellow actress, “They schedule all her scenes first, and by the time it’s our turn, the sky’s dark already…”
The voice wasn’t loud, but if she weren’t meant to hear it, Tang Yu wouldn’t have.
Even if Tang Yu argued, they hadn’t named names, so she walked past without looking and got on her nanny van.
She sat in the car for over an hour before finally reaching the underground parking lot of KING Group.
Tang Yu took the elevator straight to the designated floor.
The glass sensor door opened automatically, and she walked in. The office staff were all busy working and treated her cordially.
As she entered her resting room and sat down, Zhou Rui knocked and came in, saying, “Miss Tang, these are scripts sent by the film company. Do you want to pick one? If you like any, we can accept it.”
Tang Yu looked at the dozens of scripts in Zhou Rui’s arms, seemingly heavy and a bit cumbersome.
“Just put them down for now,” she said.
“Okay,” Zhou Rui placed the scripts down and left.
Then Chen Xindian came in, placed a cup of room-temperature freshly squeezed juice and a delicate pastry in front of her, “Miss Tang, please enjoy.”
He left afterward, too.
Tang Yu looked at the glass of orange juice—it really was one of her favorite fruits, and she liked the pastry, too.
She didn’t know when these preferences of hers had been unintentionally discovered, or was it just a coincidence?
No, she was more inclined to believe the former.
If Ye Sihan could so easily control her whereabouts, what about other aspects of her life?
She took a sip from the glass—sweet and tangy, quite delicious—but it did nothing to lift her spirits.
Picking up a script, she flipped through a page but couldn’t concentrate.
Maybe it was the window? Tang Yu stood up, pulled down all the blinds, and went back to her seat.
She didn’t want to be there, just going through the motions, planning to leave soon.
While she thought that, her body instinctively became alert.
Even through a door, she could feel the increasingly oppressive presence.
The aura of overwhelming power was all too familiar.
Ye Sihan had arrived!
