Chapter 84 -84: Really Falling for You
There was a little episode when I went to pick up the kids; I saw the school leaders there too.
They were holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the time, just standing beside her.
Even though Tang Yu was wearing a mask, she was so scared she didn’t dare to look up, grabbing the four little ones and fleeing in a taxi at breakneck speed.
She rushed home and shut the door with a huff.
The four little ones had puzzled faces throughout the entire ride.
Facing the little ones with their big eyes full of confusion, Tang Yu chuckled awkwardly, “We need to hurry up and cook dinner.”
Li Xue emerged from the bathroom, “No rush, I’m at home!”
“Cooking dinner…” Xibao’s voice was soft and milky.
Li Xue melted upon hearing the children’s voices, approached happily, squatted down, and poked her chubby little cheeks, “Tell Snow Mommy, what do you want to eat?”
“Chocolatey…”
“Haha, then how about we have a little bit of chocolatey after dinner, okay?”
“Okay~” Xibao’s eyes squinted in laughter.
Zhengzheng approached Tang Yu, looking up with a confused little head, “Mommy, don’t you like that uncle?”
The first thing that popped into Tang Yu’s mind was Ye Sihan, and she quickly denied it, “No such thing, go play now! Mommy and Sister Xue need to make dinner.”
Once she finished speaking, she dived into the kitchen, clearly not wanting to discuss this topic.
Li Xue followed into the kitchen and saw Tang Yu with a sullen expression, laughing, “Why the panic? Feeling guilty in front of the kids?”
Tang Yu thought, maybe she did feel guilty? After all, they were Ye Sihan’s kids.
But her hesitation was interpreted differently by Li Xue, “Have you really fallen for him?”
“No!” Tang Yu didn’t understand why she would think that.
“Ye Sihan has status, looks, and a great body. It’s normal to be moved!”
“If I were really moved, I wouldn’t be getting my passport reissued,” Tang Yu said.
Li Xue pondered and agreed, “But how did the kids get to the Ye Mansion yesterday?”
“I didn’t even go downstairs, told them I had menstrual cramps,” Tang Yu said, her expression turning a bit sour, “It was all Tang Yifei’s doing. She took it upon herself to bring the kids over.”
“Is she your half-sister from the same father?” Li Xue asked, recalling past conversations with Tang Yu.
“Yeah. She’s the one who fancies Ye Sihan.”
“That’s a normal person.”
“Then why didn’t you fall for him?” Tang Yu teased her.
“Because… I have someone I like,” Li Xue looked at her with a happy smile.
“Ah? Who? Do I know them?”
“It’s a secret.”
“Still keeping secrets…” Tang Yu muttered.
That night, sleeping with the four little ones, Tang Yu reminded them again not to let anyone else know outside that she was their mommy.
“Got it!” the four little ones said in unison in their milky voices, adorably and obediently.
Tang Yu hugged their soft little bodies, smothering them with kisses.
Just hang on a little longer, in half a month, we can leave Kyoto.
The next day, she went to the set close to noon, since she had no scenes in the morning.
In the afternoon, she had two scenes with the male lead.
They nailed it in one take.
Now Tang Yu’s acting had improved by leaps and bounds, unlike when she was new to it and got nervous just from facing the camera, let alone acting.
“Good work,” she said to Xiang Feiyu with a smile.
Xiang Feiyu nodded stiffly and turned away without a word.
Tang Yu watched the retreating figure with bewilderment.
She’d noticed it since arriving on set today.
When directly facing Xiang Feiyu, she was blatantly ignored.
He spoke only to the other actors.
It hadn’t always been this way.
Previously, he would smile and greet her whenever he saw her, or even come up to curry favor.
Now, they were strangers.
Tang Yu didn’t mind, but she found it a bit strange.
When she went to the makeup room and there was no one else around, Xiang Feiyu came to find her.
“Is there something you need?” Tang Yu asked.
“I’m sorry, it wasn’t my intention to give you the cold shoulder. It’s just, I can’t afford to offend the capital.” Xiang Feiyu said with a wry smile.
Tang Yu was taken aback, but then she understood.
The capital in question was Ye Sihan.
“There’s no need to apologize to me,” she said.
Xiang Feiyu didn’t say anything more and left.
Tang Yu sat in the chair, looking at her reflection in the mirror with unfocused eyes.
It must have been Xiang Feiyu’s behavior at the bar that night that had upset Ye Sihan.
At the time, the look in Ye Sihan’s eyes was quite frightening.
She had thought that just taking her away would be enough, but he had also warned Xiang Feiyu.
Now Xiang Feiyu was a popular idol with constant resources and a bright future ahead of him.
He was not someone to be offended lightly.
No matter how famous he became, he couldn’t compare to the terrifying capital that was Ye Sihan.
Crushing him would be as effortless as raising a hand or moving a foot.
Tang Yu took out her phone and glanced at the date—ten days to go!
The end of her period was in eight days, roughly a week.
When Tang Yu was not filming, she went shopping with Li Xue.
Li Xue took a liking to a suitcase, “The one at home is old, and it’s a bit small, this one is large. Once it’s packed, I can help you express it over.”
Seeing her like this, Tang Yu felt even more uncomfortable, “Sister Xue, I’m sorry…”
“What are you sorry for? I’d rather not be able to let you go than see you living in fear every day,” Li Xue said sincerely. “Once you’ve settled down over there, I’ll come to find you. After all, I’m a freelancer.”
“Okay,” Tang Yu was moved. Having such a friend in this lifetime was enough.
At night, when the kids were asleep, Tang Yu and Li Xue each held a small ice cream spoon, digging in as they watched TV, discussing the actors’ performances on screen.
“I’ve heard from the crew that your acting is now on par with those who formally studied acting. Are you that impressive?” Li Xue asked.
“I don’t know, I just fell in love with it as I acted.” Tang Yu had never been too passionate about her work in her life; it was all for earning money.
It wasn’t until she joined a production crew and started acting that she felt it wasn’t just about earning money, but also about having fun.
If only it wasn’t controlled by Ye Sihan.
“Would you still act after leaving here?”
Tang Yu shook her head, “Forget it, I fear the kids might be dug up by others. Best to keep a low profile.”
“That’s true, and it could also alert Ye Sihan,” Li Xue nodded in agreement.
The phone next to them began to ring; it was Tang Yu’s.
She reached for her phone on the coffee table, and upon seeing the incoming call, her whole body stiffened, panic instinctually setting in.
Why would Ye Sihan call her at this time…
“Is it Ye Sihan?” Li Xue could tell; otherwise, Tang Yu wouldn’t have looked so frightened.
“I’ll take it outside.” Tang Yu got up to go to the balcony. Answering, “Hello?”
“Come out,” came a low, emotionless voice that, even over the phone, still imposed a disconcerting sense of oppression.
“It’s really late, is there something you need? I’m not quite convenient right now, how about tomorrow?” Tang Yu tried to reason with him.
“You have three minutes.”
Before Tang Yu could reply, the call ended unilaterally, leaving no room for negotiation.
Tang Yu stood there, gazing out into the pitch dark night, filled with anxiety.
Why did Ye Sihan want to see her?
The less she knew, the more fear she had for the unknown danger.
“What did he say?” Li Xue came to ask.
“…I need to step out, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to come back tonight,” Tang Yu said resignedly and negatively.
She changed her clothes and left. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Li Xue watched the door close and sat on the sofa, no longer in the mood for her ice cream.
