It was the time for lunch, and the absence of any other guests could only mean that Ye Sihan had cleared the place. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Tang Yu considered this a good thing, as it meant that if the quadruplets got a bit loud while playing, they wouldn’t disturb anyone else.

The restaurant served home-style dishes.

They were colorful, fragrant, tasty, and delicious.

Halfway through the meal, Tang Yu remembered she had asked her assistant to get boxed lunches.

Her phone was on silent because of the filming.

She pulled out her phone, and indeed, there were several missed calls.

"I’m going to make a call over there," Tang Yu walked aside and called her assistant back, "Sorry, my phone was on silent. I ran into a friend and am eating out, so don’t wait for me."

"Ah? Should I come pick you up?"

"No need, I’ll head back after eating, it’s fine."

Even after hanging up, the assistant still seemed worried.

Tang Yu thought to herself, her assistant must not have seen an actress slip away by herself like this before!

If something happened, her assistant would certainly be scolded.

Others might view her as capricious.

However, Tang Yu felt certain that there would be no accidents, and there was nowhere safer than being with Ye Sihan...

As she turned around, a shadow loomed over her.

Tang Yu took in a sharp breath, instinctively stepping back until her back pressed tightly against the solid wall.

The man in front of her closed in, her body tensed and paralyzed, breathing halted for a moment as she locked eyes with those bottomless black pupils.

The strong aggression made her heart pound like a drum.

"What... What are you doing? The kids..." Tang Yu’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz; she had no idea when Ye Sihan had appeared behind her.

"Who were you on the phone with?" Ye Sihan’s dark eyes reflected Tang Yu’s flustered little face, seemingly unable to accommodate anyone else at this moment.

Not even the quadruplets could stop his actions right now.

"With the assistant, if you don’t believe me, you can check..." Tang Yu spoke with a voice so low she was barely audible, Ye Sihan’s thin lips were too close to her own.

One careless move, and they could touch.

"Saying... I was eating with a friend..."

"A friend? Hmm?" Ye Sihan lifted her chin, exposing her entire face to his dark eyes.

Tang Yu felt the danger of being looked down upon as if she was naked.

"I don’t know what to say, Ye Sihan, you are too close to me... Mmm!" Tang Yu’s protest was swiftly silenced, as her face was engulfed by the shadow and her lips overtaken.

Tang Yu’s eyes widened in fright.

This was still a restaurant!

Even if Ye Sihan had cleared the venue, there would still be waiters and the like!

Her schoolgirl outfit was lifted, and a hand slid into her waistband, causing her waist to tense and tremble.

That area was very sensitive.

The roughness of his palm felt so intense it almost seemed like it would snap her waist in two.

"Mommy?"

Frightened, Tang Yu gathered all her strength and forcefully pushed Ye Sihan away.

Ye Sihan was pushed back a couple steps, puzzled.

Glancing at Xibao, who stood there with a curious expression, he observed Tang Yu with sharp eyes, his thin lips still glistening with traces of saliva from someone else.

Tang Yu’s face flushed with embarrassment and a sense of guilt.

She took Xibao’s hand and left quickly.

How could she let a child see such an ’R-rated’ scene!

It was all Ye Sihan’s fault!

Before leaving, she shot an angry glare at Ye Sihan!

After Tang Yu and Xibao sat down, Ye Sihan also came over to sit down.

His expression was normal, as if nothing had happened.

In contrast, Tang Yu felt like she had done something wrong and was caught, too embarrassed to even look at Xibao’s face.

Xibao was naive and probably didn’t understand what had happened, and she wasn’t a talkative child...

Just as Tang Yu thought this, Xibao spoke up—

"Daddy bit Mommy’s mouth!"

"Pfft!" Tang Yu was caught off guard by the soup in her mouth, immediately reaching for a tissue to cover her mouth.

Her face and ears reddened, whether from being choked by the soup or the shame of being exposed.

Or perhaps it was both.

The quadruplets stared at their beloved mommy with round, puzzled faces.

They didn’t seem to understand why mommy had suddenly choked.

"Daddy, why did you bite Mommy’s mouth!" Junjun was the first to question, adorably fierce, gripping a fork, ready to settle the score with Ye Sihan.

Tang Yu stiffened even more, wishing she had covered Junjun’s mouth knowing there would be questions!

"Look out!" Junjun posed with an attacking gesture.

Tang Yu didn’t dare to look at how dark Ye Sihan’s face had become; she immediately covered Junjun’s mouth with one hand and took the fork from him with the other.

"Quiet, eat your meal."

Zhengzheng, "We’ll attack together!"

"Protect Mommy! Daddy is so slow!" exclaimed Haohao.

"Shouldn’t bite your mouth..." Xibao said with a stern face, seemingly even more indignant.

Tang Yu was stunned; Ye Sihan wanted the children to protect her?

She couldn’t believe it, but children don’t lie, do they...

"Still want to eat or not?" Ye Sihan’s face darkened, full of intimidation. "If you don’t eat, I’m sending you back."

"He’s going to bully us!" Junjun let go of Mommy’s hand, huffing and puffing.

Tang Yu patted Junjun’s little head, "Let’s eat, Mommy has to go to work later, and it wouldn’t be good to be late."

It was only then that the four little ones shifted their attention and diligently tackled the food in front of them.

Tang Yu glanced subconsciously at Ye Sihan across the table and unexpectedly met his deep, dark eyes, causing her heartbeat to skip a beat.

She hurriedly lowered her gaze, eating the fruit salad in front of her.

But her mind was in a mess.

Her heart felt sorrowful; Ye Sihan affected her too greatly.

She should try to change this situation.

Asking herself, could she do it?

She would try her best...

After eating, she returned to the set.

Sitting in the car, they stopped back on the same route.

Tang Yu kissed her little darlings and said to Ye Sihan, "I’m getting off here."

"Hmm," Ye Sihan’s face was emotionless.

No sooner had Tang Yu stepped out of the car than she heard Ye Sihan’s deep voice, "Take it."

When Tang Yu turned back, something was thrown at her, and she caught it hastily with both hands.

It was a men’s long overcoat, black in color, high-end tailoring, and clearly not cheap at a glance.

Could Ye Sihan wear cheap clothes? Definitely not.

"Wear it."

Tang Yu looked up to find Ye Sihan’s black eyes cold and profound, hiding an inscrutable inner world.

Did he think there was something wrong with her overcoat?

She said uncertainly, "This is for men."

Wearing it, what would others think when they saw her?

"Can’t wear it?" Ye Sihan looked at her steadily, the silent pressure palpable.

Tang Yu pursed her lips, shook her head, took off her own overcoat, and put on Ye Sihan’s.

It was very long, reaching nearly to her ankles. It was very big, big enough to wrap around her twice.

She remembered that it looked just medium-length on Ye Sihan, so why did it look like a kid stealing an adult’s clothes when she wore it?

However, it was much warmer than her own coat.

Especially her lower legs, not cold at all.

"Thank you." After wrapping it around herself tightly, she waved to the quadruplets and then ran off.

Seeing this, the four little ones also wanted to get out of the car.

Ye Sihan directly shut the door, blocking them.

Tang Yu returned to the café, where work had not yet started.

The assistant saw her and asked, "Miss Tang, have you finished eating?"

"Yes."

"Oh, why did you change your overcoat? It looks like... a man’s?" Not that the assistant was particularly sharp-eyed, anyone with eyes could tell it was a man’s clothing.

It didn’t fit at all.

Could it belong to that so-called ’friend’ of hers?

After all, she had just gone to see a ’friend’!

"It’s your boyfriend’s coat, isn’t it? Giving his own coat for his girlfriend to wear, that’s really romantic!" The assistant’s eyes sparkled with love.

Tang Yu wanted to say ’no,’ but after a moment’s thought, she didn’t.

Why bother explaining? It would only make things worse.

There was no such thing between her and Ye Sihan, just an abnormal possessiveness!

A female actress approached and noticed the men’s overcoat on her, "That coat looks expensive! Is your boyfriend very wealthy?"

"It’s not expensive," Tang Yu replied perfunctorily.

"How can it not be expensive? I remember this coat from a magazine, it’s six or seven hundred thousand! There are not many in the whole world!"

Tang Yu remained calm on the surface but was shocked internally.

A coat worth six or seven hundred thousand? And Ye Sihan had just tossed it to her like throwing away trash?

"This one I’m wearing is a fake." After saying that, Tang Yu walked away.

The following assistant said, "Don’t introduce your boyfriend to her, she... she’s not very nice, she’ll go after any man with money."

Tang Yu thought silently, Ye Sihan is not my boyfriend.

And he doesn’t lack for one actress more.
