Chapter 93 -93: Went to the pharmacy to buy birth control pills
“What do I need to do?” asked Tang Yu. “After all, I am now your life assistant.”
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes looked at her with deep and dangerous intent. “There will be a use for you, don’t rush it.”
The meaning behind his words was clearly implied, and Tang Yu felt it instantly.
Her complexion changed slightly as she lowered her gaze to continue eating.
It seemed her role as a life assistant would likely be confined to ‘that’ aspect.
Ye Sihan never lacked for assistants, nor was he short of women!
Why not stick with Tang Yifei?
Had his novelty worn off that quickly?
Tang Yu wouldn’t voluntarily bring up Tang Yifei.
After all, Sihan was so unpredictable, who knew whether mentioning her would make him happy or upset…
The vibration of a cellphone broke the silence – it was Ye Sihan’s phone.
Taking out the phone from his inner pocket, he glanced at the caller ID and stood up to leave the dining room to take the call.
Tang Yu turned her head to look at the tall figure standing in the hall, his back to her; she couldn’t see Ye Sihan’s face, so she had no clue as to his expression.
Ye Sihan didn’t say a word, it seemed like the person on the other end was doing all the talking.
After a while, she heard his low voice say, “Uncertain.”
Tang Yu wondered, what was uncertain?
And who was Ye Sihan talking to on the phone? It seemed like he was keeping something from her.
Could it be Tang Yifei?
Tang Yu didn’t want to guess; deciphering Ye Sihan’s profound thoughts was beyond anyone’s grasp.
In the afternoon, Ye Sihan went out.
Tang Yu wandered around the opulent house, realizing it was indeed identical to Ye Mansion.
She learned that when not in residence, professionals were hired to manage the place. Maintaining such a large estate must cost a fortune.
Tang Yu was convinced that Ye Sihan owned more than just this ‘Ye Mansion’.
The life of the rich was unimaginably luxurious.
After wandering around Ye Mansion for a while, she went outside.
There was a driver and a car waiting.
Once on the street, Tang Yu told the car not to follow; she wanted to stroll alone.
But while the car didn’t follow, the driver did.
Not too closely, but always within sight.
Just like Ye Sihan’s surveillance.
Tang Yu realized getting rid of the driver to do something seemed impossible.
So, she deliberately entered the pharmacy, fully aware of the surveillance.
Besides, it was highly probable that Ye Sihan had just been toying with her to satisfy some perverse amusement of his.
Upon entering the pharmacy, Tang Yu asked for the location of the contraceptives.
She had attended university abroad for a year and had spent several more years overseas having children and living abroad.
Hence, communication was not an issue for her.
After purchasing the contraceptives, she also bought a bottle of water.
She walked down the street, taking the pills and sipping water as she went.
Next, she visited a coffee shop for a cup of coffee and some pastries, enjoying the free atmosphere outside.
However, she couldn’t stay out for long and had to return soon.
She needed to be home before Ye Sihan returned.
The place she and the four little ones used to live was in a different district, a good distance away; the area she was in was where the wealthy resided.
The food and drinks were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
So, she didn’t feel the familiarity she once had, just the pressure of invisible shackles.
Looking out at the street, she couldn’t see the driver’s figure.
Indeed, the surveillance on her wasn’t close; escaping would be easy if she just used her wits.
After all, this was a foreign country, not that easy to be found.
But perhaps Ye Sihan had correctly presumed she wouldn’t run away.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have even let her out the door.
Tang Yu checked the time; it was three or four in the morning back home, so calling Li Xue would have to wait until tomorrow morning.
After finishing the coffee, she took a car back home.
Ye Sihan hadn’t returned yet.
Back in her room, she flopped onto the bed, unable to support herself any longer due to the exhaustion of her body.
In fact, her body had not recovered, and the only reason she had gone out was to buy contraceptive pills.
When it was time for dinner, Ye Sihan had not returned.
Owen said Ye Sihan had social engagements and would not be back for dinner.
Tang Yu thought to herself, it would be best if he didn’t come back at all tonight.
She dined alone in a good mood.
After returning to her room, she also called Li Xue; the four little ones had gone to school, and she could only learn about their moods through Li Xue’s words.
Li Xue placated them well, saying that Mommy was on a business trip and would return next week.
Tang Yu listened and felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.
The children had no idea that Mommy was on a business trip with their Daddy…
After hanging up the phone, she thought about what Li Xue had said—whether she could reconcile with Ye Sihan.
How could she reconcile?
Gain Ye Sihan’s sympathy?
Did he even possess such a thing?
She might as well give it a try.
After all, she said it was unrealistic to leave Kyoto with Li Xue.
Because Li Xue still had elderly parents, they were her weak points.
Tang Yu went for a walk around the Ye Mansion after dinner to aid digestion.
The sky had turned completely dark, and Ye Sihan still hadn’t come home.
She had no choice but to return to the living room and sit on the sofa to watch TV.
Her spoken language was good, so she could understand without a translator.
Of course, she wasn’t sitting here to watch TV, but to wait for Ye Sihan.
As a result, eight o’clock, nine o’clock, ten o’clock came, but he still hadn’t returned.
Tang Yu’s body, tormented on the airplane, still hadn’t recovered, and she fell asleep leaning against the sofa.
When Ye Sihan entered the living room, he saw the TV drama on, and saw Tang Yu on the sofa, sleeping with her head tilted, totally unguarded.
Ye Sihan approached, casting a dark shadow over her.
In her sleep, Tang Yu seemed to sense this unusual danger, muttering and turning her body, forgetting that she was sleeping on the sofa, not in bed.
Her head tilted sideways, and then, her sleepy consciousness sensed something was wrong—why was the place where her head rested so hard and even a bit warm?
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and as she looked up, she realized her upper body was in a man’s embrace.
A black suit, a sturdy male physique.
Tang Yu’s mind immediately cleared, and she sat straight, looking at the man who was close by, a bit stunned.
It seemed she couldn’t understand why she was sleeping in Ye Sihan’s arms.
Ye Sihan looked at her confused little face, adorably dazed, his dark eyes shimmering with profound light under the semi-bright, semi-dark lighting.
“You’re back?” Tang Yu adjusted her emotions and asked.
“Why are you sleeping here?” Ye Sihan asked in an even tone.
“Waiting for you,” Tang Yu replied.
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes paused in surprise, seemingly not expecting this answer from her.
“No, I was just watching TV, and then I accidentally fell asleep,” Tang Yu immediately corrected herself as if she had misspoken, hiding her embarrassment.
If she had said, “In a foreign land, seeing you hadn’t come back, I was really worried,” Ye Sihan would definitely be suspicious.
This man, frighteningly astute.
Ye Sihan’s dark gaze fixedly watched her, and outsiders couldn’t discern his profound emotions, not knowing whether he was happy or unhappy.
Faced with his silent scrutiny, Tang Yu inevitably felt unease.
Suddenly, Ye Sihan spoke in a deep voice, “What did you do today?”
“Went out for a stroll, had some coffee,” Tang Yu said.
“Is that all?” Ye Sihan’s gaze became oppressive.
Tang Yu knew she couldn’t hide it, so she candidly admitted, “I also went to the pharmacy to buy contraceptive pills.”
“Can’t you understand what I say?” Ye Sihan’s presence turned icy.
