Chapter 121 - 121 121 Hurry back
Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Hurry back Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Hurry back The car drove increasingly off the beaten path until it stopped at a private beach by the seaside.
Tang Yu thought they wanted to talk to her by the seaside.
However, after getting out of the car, she saw the villa in front of her.
The lights were bright, reflecting off the dark sea surface and sparkling beautifully—a breathtaking seascape.
“Where is this?” Tang Yu asked.
“Come inside and take a look,” Ye Yuli said.
Tang Yu watched as Ye Yuli walked towards the villa and had no choice but to follow.
What did he want her to see?
She sent a message to Li Xue on the way, telling her that she would be back late.
Li Xue replied with an okay.
After entering, the interior design of the villa was more warm than luxurious.
They proceeded to the second-floor viewing terrace.
Ye Yuli stood in front of the railing, gazing at the distant sea.
Tang Yu walked over and followed his line of sight.
The sea was pitch black in the distance; what was there to see?
“I’m not in the mood to watch the sea with you here. You said you wanted to tell me about Ye Sihan,” Tang Yu said.
“Is Ye Sihan the only thing you can think about right now?” Ye Yuli’s voice was slightly cold, tinged with self-mockery.
Tang Yu frowned slightly, thinking, wasn’t it you who said you wanted to discuss him with me? Otherwise, why would I come here risking danger?
“Doesn’t this place feel familiar to you?” Ye Yuli asked.
Tang Yu didn’t understand. Familiar?
“I’ve never been here before.”
“It seems you’ve completely forgotten what I used to tell you.” Ye Yuli turned around to face her, his stark features appearing gloomy in the nighttime light. “After we get married, we’ll live by the sea.”
Tang Yu was stunned.
She… should have remembered, but there was no reason to bring it to mind.
It was her second birthday in a foreign land, and it was a surprise from Ye Yuli.
While they were eating cake, Ye Yuli said that after her graduation he would propose, promising her a warm home with a seaside villa. She could pursue her own career and have children whenever she wanted.
How Tang Yu yearned for a home of her own.
Since Yu Zhaohui left home, she had been drifting around like a vagabond.
So, when she heard Ye Yuli say that, her heart was incredibly touched.
She even fantasized about having children with Ye Yuli—two would be best, a boy and a girl.
But… what followed deviated from the original trajectory, spiraling in an unknown direction.
It became more and more outrageous…
“It was I who lost you,” Ye Yuli said, his eyes revealing pain.
Tang Yu looked down, “If we could separate, it means our fate wasn’t strong enough. Let’s leave the past behind. You should look forward, and there’ll be girls better suited for you waiting.”
“What about you?”
Tang Yu hadn’t thought about herself; she only knew her future would definitely include four children.
“But this villa is no longer suitable to live in. Settling abroad is more appropriate. My promise still stands—if you nod right now, I will take you away immediately,” Ye Yuli looked at her.
Li Xue was playing with the four little ones, checking the time. Tang Yu might not come back for a while.
“When is Mommy coming back?”
“In a little while.”
“Liar!”
“Mommy…” Xibao’s little chubby face fell with disappointment.
Li Xue hurriedly soothed them, “I’m sure she’s just busy with something else, so she’s running late. No worries, let’s go take a bath, and Mommy will be back after we’re done~”
“Is Mommy going to find Chocolate again?” Zhengzheng had a flash of inspiration.
Li Xue didn’t think so.
If it were Ye Sihan looking for her, why would she change her phone?
Li Xue had just gotten all four little ones into bed and was preparing to take a shower when the cellphone in the living room began to ring.
She picked up the cellphone.
When she saw the name on the caller ID, she was scared stiff.
She hastily tossed the cellphone aside as if it were a hot potato.
The cellphone kept ringing, its persistence like the devil’s own hounding.
Li Xue held her breath, not daring to move.
After the ringtone stopped, she came back to her senses and immediately called Tang Yu.
Tang Yu froze, her heart racing.
To take her away, how tempting it was.
But for what reason? Even if she truly wanted to rekindle her past relationship with Ye Yuli, the fact of her having four children had already closed off that path.
The problem at hand was hers alone.
Just as she was about to speak, her own cellphone rang.
She took out her phone, not yet seeing the incoming call clearly when Ye Yuli snatched it from her.
“What are you doing? Give me my cellphone back!” Tang Yu tried to snatch it back.
Ye Yuli, tall with long legs, simply held it up high, out of her reach.
“Ye Yuli!”
While they were fighting over the cellphone, Li Xue waited anxiously on the other end, thinking what’s going on, why isn’t she answering the phone?
Suddenly, she stood stock-still as if petrified.
She heard the automated voice ask if she wanted to wait or answer, as Ye Sihan called again.
So, at this moment, Ye Sihan on the other end would be told that the line was busy…
Li Xue brought the phone before her eyes, staring at the screen nervously.
She felt as though she could sense the pressure emanating from Ye Sihan.
Now, trying to avoid it was futile. The first call might be excused by not being near her phone, but what about now?
Li Xue took a deep breath and answered, “Hello?”
There was a second of silence on the other end, and discerning that the voice wasn’t right, Ye Sihan’s low voice came through without a hint of warmth, straightforward and concise, “Where is she?”
“Tang Yu has gone out. I only realized when you called that she had taken the wrong phone. I was just about to call her, then your call came through, and I answered,” Li Xue came up with a flawless excuse.
“Where to?”
“She didn’t say,” Li Xue feigned ignorance.
The other end didn’t reply, hanging up the call directly.
Ye Sihan sat in the back of the Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance of the complex. Under the dim car lights, that cold and unfathomable face was visible, his sharp, deep eyes peering through the black car windows into the complex.
He then took out his phone and called Xiao Yu, his thin lips scarcely moving, “Find out where Ye Yuli is right now.”
Li Xue hurriedly called Tang Yu again.
She had to say that Tang Yu had already gone out, in case Ye Sihan came knocking on the door for her and found the children instead, didn’t she?
That was Tang Yu’s greatest fear.
But what on earth was Tang Yu doing? Why wasn’t she answering the phone?
She called again, but still, no one answered.
Ye Yuli glanced at the incoming call, his brow furrowing with confusion, “Tang Yu?”
The name on the caller ID was indeed Tang Yu.
Why would Tang Yu’s phone show an incoming call from Tang Yu?
Noticing his moment of confusion, Tang Yu jumped up and snatched the phone, stepping aside to answer the call, “Sister Xue, what’s the matter?”
“You… you need to come back quickly! Ye Sihan knows you’re not at home! I told him you took the wrong phone when you went out!” Li Xue said anxiously.
“And then?” Tang Yu’s breathing became unsteady from the fright.
“He didn’t say anything and just hung up.”
“Got it, I’m heading back right now,” Tang Yu hung up and turned to leave.
“The door is locked, you can’t leave,” Ye Yuli didn’t try to stop her.
Tang Yu looked at him in surprise, “Please, you have to let me go!”
What do you think?
