Chapter 133 -133: You Became a Male Escort Behind My Back
Xibao remained unmoved, her back turned and motionless—she just wanted her mommy.
“Xibao, come out and have dinner with your brothers, okay? After dinner, Sister Xue will buy you chocolate,” Li Xue tempted Xibao with her favorite chocolate.
Xibao still didn’t budge.
Li Xue hadn’t expected that even chocolate couldn’t coax Xibao anymore.
What to do? Surely, she can’t just let her stay under the table forever, right?
Li Xue thought for a moment, got up to fetch her phone, and opened the photos inside.
There was one of her and Tang Yu taken alone during a visit to the zoo.
“Xibao, look who this is. Is it mommy?” Li Xue continued to crouch at the side of the table, holding up the phone.
When Xibao heard ‘mommy,’ her ears twitched, she turned around, saw her mommy in the phone, and her eyes lit up, “Mommy!”
“Come on, come out, the phone is yours.”
Only then was Xibao willing to come out from under the table, and she had to hold the phone while eating dinner afterward. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Li Xue had no choice but to spoon-feed her.
As long as she didn’t throw a tantrum, it was fine.
But what about next time if this time was managed?
Yesterday, she had been to Ye Sihan’s place.
Not seeing anyone indicated that Tang Yu’s personal freedom was controlled by Ye Sihan.
Did Tang Yu know she went looking for her? Even if she didn’t, for the sake of the children, she would try her best to come out, right…?
The next day, Li Xue sent the four kids to school and then went straight back to the rental house.
Ever since she returned, she had no mind for work.
At that time, having received no further plan from Tang Yu, she made a call to Ye Yuli.
The result brought her devastating news.
She knew then that she had to come back.
The ringtone of the cell phone next to her sounded.
She reached for the phone feeling downhearted, but as soon as she saw the caller ID, her spirits lifted, and she quickly answered, “Tang Yu? Is it you?”
“Sister Xue, it’s me.”
“Are you okay? Has Ye Sihan done anything to you?”
“No, he just locked me up and cut off contact with the outside world, don’t worry,” as always, Tang Yu presented only the good news and not the worries.
“Then when can you come back?” Li Xue asked.
“I don’t know, but I’ll get back as soon as possible.”
“We tried so hard, yet Ye Sihan still found out. How did he manage that?” Li Xue asked.
“He… he must have installed a tracker on Ye Yuli’s cellphone,” Li Xue said in a lower voice.
“What? That’s terrifying!” Li Xue couldn’t believe it. “What kind of sick desire for control is that? Don’t tell me my phone is bugged too? I need to check it later!”
The thought alone sent shivers down her spine.
“Alright,” Tang Yu said, “How are the kids? Are they making a fuss?”
“Not at all, I know how to soothe them,” Li Xue reassured her, “Handle your own matters first, I’m here for this side!”
Tang Yu understood her children well—Junjun, Haohao, and Zhengzheng could bear it and wouldn’t easily show it, but Xibao couldn’t.
So after ending the call, Tang Yu stepped out of the room and went to look for Ye Sihan.
The phone had been given to her, and even though Ye Sihan made it clear that the tracker was still on and she wasn’t allowed to remove it, she still checked for any signs of eavesdropping.
Thank goodness there was nothing unusual.
Indeed, with the tracker in place, what else did he want? She deserved some breathing space after all.
She went downstairs but didn’t see Ye Sihan.
Wen Bo said he was outside.
So she went out of the main hall and looked for Ye Sihan at the entrance of the Ye Mansion.
As she walked along the bushes for a while, she saw a figure with his back to her, wearing crisp dress pants, a deep blue shirt, his stature robust, and clothes tailored to give a sharp silhouette, tall and straight.
“I called Sister Xue, and she’s really worried about me. Can I go back for a while? I’ve been really good; you can’t keep me locked up here forever, right?” Tang Yu tried to keep her emotions calm, appearing soft and compliant, “I can go back now and come over again tonight, is that okay?”
The figure with his back turned gave no response to her.
“Ye Sihan, I’m not a criminal, why do you keep me locked up all the time? My behavior has been good enough these past few days!” Tang Yu started to get anxious. “Please…”
The pleading voice came to an abrupt halt as the man turned around.
The man’s face was not Ye Sihan’s.
But a stranger’s.
Tang Yu was a bit dumbfounded, who… who was this person?
Footsteps came from behind, and when Tang Yu turned around, there stood Ye Sihan.
So had she just said all that to a stranger?
Annoyed and embarrassed, Tang Yu glared at Ye Sihan and ran off.
Ye Sihan frowned slightly, displeased, and looked at his friend, “What did you do?”
“She mistook me for you. Since when do you have a body like mine?” Fu Longting disagreed.
Ye Sihan scoffed contemptuously.
“But are you playing some kind of imprisonment game?” Fu Longting raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ye Sihan ignored him and turned to leave.
Walking into the hall, there stood Tang Yu, looking distinctly uncomfortable.
“What is it?” Ye Sihan asked in a deep voice.
“That person… who is he?” Tang Yu felt uneasy after speaking to a stranger like that.
“A friend,” Ye Sihan replied concisely.
“Was he a colleague from when you worked as a male escort?” Tang Yu could not help but use her own eyes to judge. Because that man’s face was really handsome, features chiseled, a must for that line of work. Seeing that Ye Sihan’s face was tense and he did not speak, not knowing if he would be upset, she quickly changed the subject, “I want to go back home for a bit and will come back later tonight, is that okay?”
Ye Sihan stared at her for a moment, “Take your phone with you.”
Tang Yu knew this was a warning.
The phone had a tracker, and Ye Sihan wanted to keep tabs on her every move.
But, at last, she could leave the Ye Mansion.
“Okay,” Tang Yu said and turned to head upstairs.
Behind Ye Sihan, Fu Longting approached quietly, “Were you moonlighting as a male escort behind my back?”
“…”
The car Tang Yu sat in belonged to the Ye Mansion, of course.
Looking at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the car window, she placed her pale hand against the glass. The sunlight filtering through bathed her face — it tasted of freedom.
Being locked in that room had been so desperate.
But it didn’t mean she was now free to do as she pleased; everything had to be approved by Ye Sihan.
Like a felon wearing an electronic shackle.
Back at the rental place, she input the code and after going inside, found it empty.
The kids continued to go to school, and had Li Xue gone to work as well?
She had taken leave from school; they were in kindergarten, and nobody would suspect anything if they were missing for a month.
And all told, it had only been about a week.
Tang Yu took out her phone and called Li Xue, “Sister Xue, did you go to work?”
“No, just out buying some things. What’s up?”
“I’m back at the rental, but didn’t see you here.”
“You came back?” Li Xue was surprised.
“Yeah.”
“Then I’ll head back now.”
Li Xue had originally gone out to see if there were any toys or snacks to soothe the kids.
Now that Tang Yu had returned, it didn’t matter if she didn’t buy anything.
She was also eager to see Tang Yu; she must be unharmed, right?
After hanging up, she rushed to the roadside to hail a cab.
A taxi stopped by the curb, Li Xue boarded and gave the driver the address.
The taxi started on its way.
