Chapter 274 No room for discussion
In the video, two individuals, a man and a woman, sat on a bed inside a bedroom. Tightly cuddled by the man, the woman snuggled into his warm embrace, intimately whispering.
Just a glimpse did Ye Sichen recognize that woman. It’s Xia Nuan, and that man must be Ye Enchen.
His eyes turned somber and his fingers tightened as he clicked the keyboard of the phone. He, then, deleted the video.
“Haven’t you watched TV, dad?” said Wuyou, walking in unexpectedly towards Ye Sichen.
The voice brought Ye Sichen’s sense back. Looking at Wuyou, he pulled him up in his arms. “Not yet, anything interesting?”
He asked him with a forced smile, and was stoical at his discomfort.
“Is mom going to leave us?” Wuyou whimpered.
Ye Sichen, however, consoled his son, “Don’t let it be a bother. Mom loves you all forever.”
“Then why she didn’t come and see us. Nianci was sick, but she would rather drink with the man than stay with us?” Wuyou grumbled.
Hearing his complaint, Ye Sichen felt a little bit depressed. “Mom was at work…”
“No more lies, dad. I saw her on TV with Uncle Shen. I’m not a simpleton.”
Ye Sichen, however, said nothing as response. He stood up and moved towards the television. The news being played now was the secret dating between Xia Nuan and Shen An, with some evidentiary photos inside and outside the bar. Shen An held Xia Nuan and walked into a car. They held each other tightly and intimately, which was beyond normal relationship. Moreover, the reporter strenuously emphasized that Xia Nuan had got a new model lover and already fostered him for several months.
A slight press, followed by a black screen.
Ye Sichen looked at Wuyou, and faced Nianci who was sobbing for her mother. He then cuddled her in arms. “Daddy will stay with you today, alright?”
Nianci nodded, with her hands circling his neck,
“Okay.”
Seemed to feel her father’s restrained irritation for her mother, she thoughtfully withdrew her lachrymal and soon lied in sangfroid on Ye Sichen’s shoulder.
He fed her the medicine, and the latter fell asleep under his comfort. He put her on the bed.
Wuyou and Ansheng also remained silent and merely stared at their father.
“It’s late. Time to hit the sack,” said Ye Sichen, giving them a spoiled smile.
Ansheng stretched his arms, asking for hugs, and soon Ye Sichen brought him into his dream. Meanwhile, Wuyou opened his eyes. His voice broke in the tranquility, “Dad, don’t be mad at mom. There must be some misunderstandings. Just make sure to make things clear when you meet her. Don’t be mad, please.”
Ye Sichen covered for Wuyou, “Okay. Don’t worry.”
Wuyou relieved and closed his eyes.
All three kids fell asleep. Ye Sichen then left to his study.
Ken came in and reported him another situation. He asked, “Sir, are you sure to release Luo Lan?”
Ye Sichen nodded, “Yeah. Although she had done some bad things, she failed. I hope she can realize her mistakes and start a new life.”
“Okay, I’m on it.” Ken nodded and then started to execute his command.
However, Ken told Ye Sichen something one hour later.
“Luo Lan has already got out of prison, but she was sent to a mental hospital for treatments.” Ken said.
Ye Sichen frowned and asked, “Check on the specific hospital. Have a look.”
He hung up, then called Luo Mi, but the latter didn’t want to answer him all the time. Several times later, he quitted.
After a dizzy night, the kids were stick to the schedule. Rehearsals continued.
“Xia Nuan designed these costumes. Would you like them, sir?” The makeup artist Aka and the costumer came to him with a suitcase.
Ye Sichen frowned and said, “I’ve already had mine. I don’t need them.”
“Yes, but there is a tiny flaw on that one, so…”
“That’s okay. Nothing is perfect.” He disrupted Aka.
Aka kept silent, then took away Xia Nuan’s designs.
Xia Nuan waited outside, seeing Aka’s upset face when she came out with her designs. She knew clearly that Ye Sichen didn’t want to use the costume she designed.
She was full of expectations, but now she felt quite depressed for the situation.
“I’m sorry. Mr. Ye doesn’t want these.” Aka apologized.
When Xia Nuan learned that there was a flaw on his costume, she once again recommended her designs to his staff. She hoped that he could dress it, but failed again.
Xia Nuan smiled, handled Aka’s suitcase, and said, “It’s okay. Maybe he really doesn’t need these.”
Today in the morning, Xia Nuan saw the news about her and Shen An. Of course, Ye Sichen saw it, too. The bad thing was that Ye Sichen would keep her further away because of the rumor. They already had issues after all.
She sat in the car, waiting for him outside his rehearsal site. However, she found some suspicious guys were wandering back and forth in the shadow. She was alerted because it looked like they were monitoring this place.
Xia Nuan got a call from Mrs. Baili’s staff at this moment.
“The Madam wants to see you.”
Xia Nuan was distracted to wait for Ye Sichen. She said, “I cannot make it on time. Can we talk later?”
“No. She wants to talk about Ye Sichen.”
Xia Nuan had to go.
Ye Sichen went out from the site, wearing a black suit. He was ready to go.
“That car belongs to Ms. Xia. She was waiting for you all the time. Maybe she is in a hurry, so she just left.” Aka said in a low voice.
Ye Sichen stared at the car blankly for a while, then he got in the car.
Di Luoke was inside. After Ye Sichen fastened himself into the car seat, he stretched, sat up, and then started the car.
“I saw someone monitoring you. I don’t know whether they come from Xia Nuan or Mrs. Baili. These people appeared the same time Xia Nuan came here.” Di Luoke told him.
Ye Sichen looked gloomy, watching the front.
“Anything new about the Allies?” Ye Sichen asked.
Di Luoke said frankly, “Ye Enchen is very close to them. Be careful, sir.”
Ye Sichen remembered the video that Ye Enchen cuddled Xia Nuan…
Xia Nuan met Mrs. Baili, and the Madam told her a message.
“The Allies knew that Ye Sichen is Ni Feng’s son. I’m wondering who released the message.”
Mrs. Baili looked at her, “There is nobody but us knowing about it.”
Xia Nuan looked heavily, “I didn’t tell anyone. Maybe the Allies are investigating him in private all the time? If so, please protect him. Madam, you know, Ye Sichen means a lot of benefits for Yuezhao Organization.”
“It could be. Maybe the Allies transferred their eyes on him, because they had dug nothing from Di Yun.” A short wit flashed in Mrs. Baili’s eyes. “However, it can be a good thing if they had already known his identity.”
Xia Nuan had a bad feeling to hear that. “Mrs. Baili, I don’t understand.”
“You don’t have to. Listen to me, keep an eye on Ye Sichen’s concert.” Mrs. Baili ordered.
Xia Nuan looked at her, feeling confused.
Mrs. Baili continued, “Add the concert to 200.”
“Mrs. Baili, he cannot bear it.” Xia Nuan refused her immediately.
“Are you worried about him?” Mrs. Baili raised her eyebrows, came closer, and said, “You should know that you are a member here. You have a mark on your arm. As my subordinate, you’d better stay away from him. I heard that you delivered three kids for him, but he kept them away from you, right?”
Upset flashed in her eyes, “No, it’s not what you are thinking.”
“You don’t have to explain. I don’t care about the kids. I only need to know whom you are working with.” Mrs. Baili asked.
Xia Nuan hid the guilt in her eyes, “I’ve already joined Yuezhao Organization. Of course, I am with the Organization, so is Ye Sichen. If he is aimed by the Allies, then the Organization is aimed.”
“Leave him alone. If you are with me, that will be great. You didn’t let me down in the end.” Mrs. Baili was delighted, holding Xia Nuan’s hand.
For a moment, Xia Nuan had an illusion that Mrs. Baili’s eyes were kind.
“Mrs. Baili, 50 concerts are saturated enough for him. We cannot make it 200, please give it a second thought.” Xia Nuan tried to persuade Mrs. Baili, and asked her not to be so hard on Ye Sichen.
“It must be 200. We said in the agreement that Ye Sichen should obey whatever the organization asked. Easy to be touched is no good for you. If you wouldn’t like to do so, I’ll ask someone else.”
Mrs. Baili seemed determined. There was no room for discussion.
