Chapter 278: Chapter 278: When to Follow Her Chapter 278: Chapter 278: When to Follow Her Two people were eating noodles across the table.
Tang Yu said, “I have to go to the film set later.”
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes flickered towards her, exuding an inherent sharpness.
Tang Yu pursed her lips, bowed her head, and continued eating noodles.
Her heart wavered.
Ye Sihan had already put on his clothes, so he probably wouldn’t continue with what was happening in bed, right?
That would be redundant…
“You’re avoiding ,” Ye Sihan said as he ate his bowl of noodles, placed his chopsticks down, leaned back in his chair, and looked straight at the person opposite him.
His statent was assertive, with no hint of questioning.
The air suddenly beca tense, pressing heavily upon Tang Yu’s frail figure.
“Not at all, I’m not. It’s really because I have to go to the film set—I’m the female lead and my part is quite significant. I can’t keep asking for leave like I used to…” Tang Yu spoke the truth.
Of course, she wouldn’t admit that indeed, there was an elent of avoidance.
“If I want to do sothing to you, who could stop ?” Ye Sihan asserted dominantly.
“I said that’s not what I ant. But in the future, will you let see the child anyti I want?” Tang Yu asked.
Ye Sihan didn’t reply, standing up and leaving the dining table.
Tang Yu’s gaze followed Ye Sihan’s every move, never receiving a response, and her heart gradually sunk.
So that ant Ye Sihan disagreed, right?
Was it because she hadn’t given him what he wanted?
Tang Yu bit her lip tightly, nearly drawing blood, until a sharp pain made her release.
The Rolls-Royce glided smoothly on the road, with Tang Yu sitting next to the window.
She felt the oppressiveness of being in the sa car as Ye Sihan.
She was conflicted, wanting to please Ye Sihan for the sake of the child, yet afraid to get close.
So, she remained very quiet.
No further discussion about the rental house ensued, but Tang Yu could feel the sharp gaze on her as if it could pierce through her body.
Thus, she felt compelled to look towards Ye Sihan, whose eyes, like black holes, seed to possess an imnse gravitational pull, making her feel in danger of falling in the next second.
“Why do you keep looking at ?” Tang Yu asked.
“Afraid?” Ye Sihan asked, his tone unchanged.
“Afraid of what?” Tang Yu denied her internal nervousness. “Later, don’t let anyone see getting out of your car; it’ll lead to more gossip behind my back.”
“If you want to be in this circle, you have to be prepared to be talked about,” he said.
“So things can’t be avoided, but others can,” Tang Yu said.
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes fixed on her, like a bottomless cold abyss, “Is this your way of showing affection?”
“I’m protecting you!” Tang Yu asserted. “Look at those superstars; they never let their private lives get exposed. It brings trouble to the other person.”
Ye Sihan’s hand moved to the cover of his watch, gently caressing it.
In the ensuing silence, Tang Yu noticed his action, her heart feeling uneasy, not knowing its aning or what awaited her.
The unknown danger made her feel incredibly on edge.
“Don’t worry, I won’t force you,” Ye Sihan suddenly said as the car ca to a stop.
Tang Yu got out of the car in a daze, watching the Rolls-Royce turn and drive away.
Her heart didn’t settle because of Ye Sihan’s reassuring words; instead, it beca even more uneasy.
His handso but frosty face had not a trace of warmth, as if it ca from Hell, radiating a chilling coldness.
This was not the progress she had hoped for.
Tang Yu looked at the gray sky, her heart filled with confusion, knowing at least that this developnt was beyond her control…
That afternoon, Tang Yu tentatively called Ye Sihan; no one answered.
She knew that her efforts had fallen through.
Back ho, she entered the bathroom.
When she opened the lid of the washing machine, the sll of the dirty clothes made her step back several paces.
It was the scent of vomit on her clothes.
Tang Yu imdiately held her breath, poured in detergent, and started the washing machine.
Halfway through the wash, she realized Ye Sihan’s clothes were still inside.
Ye Sihan’s clothes were made from high-end materials, so expensive they could cost her life. Was it really okay to wash them like this?
After the wash, she took out the clothes to dry and sighed with relief when she noticed nothing was damaged.
Back in her room, Tang Yu called Ye Sihan again.
She wanted to use the excuse of returning his clothes to start a conversation and to also gauge his attitude towards her.
Again, there was no answer.
She then noticed the suitcase by the wall, the sa one delivered by the bodyguard that morning.
She crouched down, opened the suitcase, and inside were all of Ye Sihan’s clothes.
He didn’t take it away, what does that an? Will he co back?
The phone rang, and Tang Yu thought it was Ye Sihan, her heart skipping a beat.
But it turned out to be Ye Yuli.
She answered, “What’s up?”
“Where are you?”
“At ho.”
“I’m at the entrance to the complex, co out for a bit.”
Tang Yu didn’t know what it was about, but after hanging up the phone, she went to the entrance of the complex.
From a distance, she could see the sports car parked by the roadside, with Ye Yuli casually leaning against it.
Tang Yu walked over, “What do you want to see about?”
“Been busy all day?”
“Yeah, just got ho not long ago. I haven’t even taken a bath yet! Let tell you, don’t ask out. I’m really tired and want to go to sleep early,” Tang Yu declared in advance.
“Just ca to see you, is that not allowed?” Ye Yuli’s cool brows rose slightly. “Won’t you invite up for a sit?”
Tang Yu pressed her lips together, sowhat hesitant.
Ye Sihan wasn’t there, but this man was always soone she dreaded in her heart.
“Are you in contact with Ye Sihan?” Ye Yuli asked.
“With a child involved, contact is ultimately unavoidable,” Tang Yu did not deny.
There wasn’t much to hide from Ye Yuli, no need for that.
“What’s his attitude towards you? Using the child to threaten you?”
Tang Yu felt that it wasn’t Ye Sihan using the child to threaten her now, but rather her actively getting close to Ye Sihan to achieve her goals.
“No. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it myself. Is that what you ca to find out?”
“My engagent with Zhou Qinghua is off,” Ye Yuli said.
“Called off?”
“Getting married to a woman I don’t like is a painful affair,” Ye Yuli said indifferently. “From now on, aside from the person I like, I won’t let anyone else dictate my life.”
Tang Yu felt there was nothing wrong with Ye Yuli’s decision.
She supported him.
Just like asking her to marry soone she didn’t love, she couldn’t even imagine what a lifeti would be like.
Ye Yuli, with his hands in his pockets, asked, “Really don’t want to go out for a spin? Sleeping so early at such a young age, those who don’t know might think you’re in your seventies or eighties.”
“You’re the one who’s in your seventies or eighties,” Tang Yu retorted, glancing at him, “I don’t have your life, born with a silver spoon, able and rich. If I don’t earn money, I’d starve.”
“I’ll support you for life, as a friend.”
“Forget it, I prefer to earn my own money,” Tang Yu refused.
“I heard that you got the bulk of Ye Xianghua’s will?”
“I didn’t take it,” Tang Yu said. “It belongs to Ye Sihan. Whether he wants it or not is his business, I couldn’t care less.”
“Right, you shouldn’t. Otherwise, Ye Sihan might use it to settle scores with you later,” Ye Yuli touched her soft hair. “Okay, go back and rest!”
Tang Yu shrank her head back, “My hairstyle.”
“What do you need a hairstyle for in the middle of the night?”
“Look over there,” Tang Yu pointed to one side.
As Ye Yuli looked over, she reached up and ssed up Ye Yuli’s hairstyle before he could react, and then she ran off.
Ye Yuli watched Tang Yu flee, a gentle and doting smile on his face.
If only Tang Yu knew he had called off the engagent, she would feel less burdened interacting with him.
But what had he just seen?
Ye Yuli looked again towards the side, where a car was parked, seemingly with soone lurking in the shadows, watching.
Ye Yuli walked over, the vehicle becoming clearer, the first thing he scrutinized was its license plate.
The car started and brushed directly past him, dangerously close to his body, just milliters away.
Ye Yuli didn’t even dodge, wishing in fact that Ye Sihan’s car would hit him.
That way, Tang Yu would only hate him more…
Tang Yu walked on alone, the dim streetlights illuminating a limited area.
At this ti, most people in the complex had gone ho.
It was quiet everywhere, but at this mont, Tang Yu actually felt a creepy unease.
It was as if sothing terrifying lurked in the dark.
Just as her nerves were tense, she suddenly sensed soone was following her.
Since when had they been tailing her?
So, this unease was caused by the person tracking her from behind…
Tang Yu’s heartbeat quickened, and she sped up her pace.
No way? She hadn’t heard that security in the complex was so bad!
