Chapter 129 -129: Unaccustomed to Eating Outside
Tang Yu stood by the roadside.
The sky had already darkened, pressing heavily on her chest, creating a feeling of tension and unease.
Could she really escape?
No, for the sake of Ye Yuli and Li Xue, she had to succeed!
Tang Yu turned back to the rental house and began to pack her things.
She didn’t plan to take much, just one suitcase.
Then she hid the little ones’ remaining belongings in the corridor, tidying the room to erase any traces of the children’s presence.
In the end, Tang Yu stayed in the house waiting for Ye Yuli’s call.
The time was only six o’clock.
She had no appetite for food at all.
She clutched her mobile phone tightly in her hand, staying in touch with Li Xue at all times.
The phone also had a tracker installed by Ye Sihan, and knowing it was there sometimes wasn’t such a bad thing.
At nine o’clock in the evening, Ye Yuli called her, telling her to take a taxi to the seaside and leave by cruise ship.
Passports and such had all been arranged.
Tang Yu, carrying her suitcase, left and hailed a cab on the roadside, heading straight for the pier.
After paying the driver in cash, she got out.
Not far away, she saw Ye Yuli standing there, tall and striking in a light overcoat with a black suitcase at his side.
The scene was as if he was waiting for a lover to elope with.
Upon seeing Tang Yu, he waved her over.
Tang Yu pulled her suitcase over, “Have you been waiting long?”
“Just got here,” Ye Yuli said, taking her suitcase from her, “Let’s go.”
“I can carry it myself,” Tang Yu said, feeling embarrassed.
“You walk too slowly,” Ye Yuli retorted, his tall figure pulling both suitcases without any decrease in his pace.
Three days later, Tang Yu and Ye Yuli successfully arrived in another country.
They had made the journey quite quickly.
First, they went to a nearby country, then took a connecting flight.
They didn’t have to worry about being detected, as Ye Yuli had bribed their way through the entire journey.
That evening, Ye Sihan appeared in Li Xue’s rental house, which was neat but empty.
Standing by the table, his finger traced along it, picking up a layer of dust.
It was clear no one had lived there for several days.
He was holding his phone in his other hand, with a red dot flashing on the screen—it was the location of the tracker.
Ye Sihan took a few steps and approached the shoe cabinet, opening a shoebox to find Tang Yu’s phone inside.
The tracker had been found, huh?
So the day he met Ye Yuli, it wasn’t a case of taking the wrong phone.
He had been outsmarted by her.
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes stared coldly at the phone, his presence exuding a fearful malevolence.
The bodyguard came to the door and nodded, “Mr. Ye, someone has tampered with the surveillance cameras at the complex’s entrance.”
Which meant they had no idea when Tang Yu had left.
Ye Sihan’s face almost contorted with rage.
Tang Yu had asked for leave from the crew in advance, which he hadn’t taken seriously, as he thought her body needed recovery after being tormented for a night.
To still be able to run was indeed a surprise…
“Hasn’t learned a single clever thing,” Ye Sihan said with a furious laugh, which was incredibly chilling in the depths of the night.
After arriving at the apartment arranged by Ye Yuli, Tang Yu used Ye Yuli’s phone to call Li Xue.
Li Xue was in China, in a city far from the capital.
Her whereabouts were also treated carefully to avoid detection.
In the background, she could hear the little ones calling ‘mommy’ in their milky voices.
A wave of sadness washed over Tang Yu, she so missed the children…
But she needed to hold back for now.
She had to separate from Ye Yuli first, find her own place, and then bring the children over.
After the call, she entered the apartment and handed the phone back to Ye Yuli, “Sister Xue wants to come to live with me, so I’m thinking of finding a new place.”
“No one lives here.”
“You’ve already done me such a big favor, I don’t want to trouble you anymore.”
“So formal?” Ye Yuli teased.
Tang Yu glared at him, “Anyway, I was lucky to have you this time, otherwise I’d still be stuck in Kyoto.”
Ye Yuli watched her without speaking, his eyes revealing the affection he still had for her.
Tang Yu’s gaze shifted slightly, then she heard Ye Yuli say, “You should rest first.”
“Where are you going?”
“I have a place to stay.”
The place Ye Yuli went to was a hotel nearby.
The residence here was not his own, but a friend’s.
It was not difficult for Ye Sihan to guess who had taken Tang Yu away. As long as he checked, the location of his property would be exposed, and Tang Yu, hidden inside, would be quickly found.
After Ye Yuli left, Tang Yu did not go to rest but used the computer in the study instead.
She was looking up rental information.
She would not tell Ye Yuli the address of the place she rented.
She wanted to not only leave Kyoto but also break free from Ye Sihan’s control and disappear from Ye Yuli’s life.
She could see the feelings Ye Yuli had for her, but everything couldn’t be turned back.
After looking for over an hour and feeling really sleepy, she went to lie down on the bed and fell asleep.
She slept for several hours.
Due to jet lag, it was still light when she woke up.
Her stomach growled with hunger.
As she walked out of the room, she thought about grabbing something to eat.
Bread? Sandwich? She would have to make do…
Suddenly, she caught the scent of food in her nostrils.
Tang Yu followed the smell to the kitchen and saw a man cooking with his back to her.
His posture was straight, sleeves rolled up to his arms, skillfully wielding the spatula, definitely not his first time cooking.
Without seeing his face, she knew it was Ye Yuli.
Back when she was at his place, he would cook for her like this as well.
At that time, she thought how happy she would be to have a husband who could cook.
“Awake?”
Tang Yu’s thoughts were interrupted as Ye Yuli turned to look at her, “Mhm, when did you get here? Why are you cooking here?”
“You’re not used to foreign food,” Ye Yuli said as he placed the dishes on the table. “Sit down, it will be ready soon.”
How could Tang Yu really sit there and wait to be served? She busied herself by getting dishes and serving rice.
When they were studying, her biggest complaint to Ye Yuli was her dislike of foreign cuisine; then Ye Yuli would make her Chinese food and deliver it straight to her school.
Her classmates were envious.
Four dishes and a soup, all Tang Yu’s favorites.
Eating, she always felt as if she had returned to three or four years earlier when she and Ye Yuli were together…
“If you want to eat, just tell me,” Ye Yuli said, focusing on Tang Yu who was eating.
For him, the same mirage unfolded, as if he and Tang Yu had never parted…
“No need, I’ve learned to cook now,” Tang Yu indirectly declined.
Ye Yuli’s eyes changed, but he didn’t say anything about her distance.
Now, not in Kyoto, without Ye Sihan, just the two of them was already enough.
“How did you learn to cook? I remember at the beginning you almost blew up the house trying to cook,” Ye Yuli said.
Chewing on the meat in her mouth, Tang Yu swallowed before replying, “It took a long time to learn, I just couldn’t get used to eating out.”
Actually, she learned for the sake of her four little ones, even if she cut her fingers, and the food she made was hard to swallow, she still had to persevere and try over and over again.
She never said, at that time when she was struggling with cooking, she would often think of Ye Yuli cooking for her.
Half in anger, half in sadness.
Angry at being cheated on.
Sad that Ye Yuli, who was so good to her, would find someone else.
Then, turning back to look at the four hungry little cuties, her mood would miraculously calm down.
