Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Not Really Accepting Her, Are You? Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Not Really Accepting Her, Are You? Tang Yu felt uncomfortable and turned her gaze away after her thoughts were seen through.

The implication in Ye Sihan’s words made her face turn red.

Because she had indeed been so ‘tired’ that she fell asleep…

It was only after the Christmas atmosphere had completely ended that Ye Sihan and his group returned to their country.

Upon their return, their clothes instantly changed from cool to being wrapped in layer upon layer.

The four little ones on the plane found this change hard to adapt to.

Especially Junjun, who only changed his clothes and put on a hat that covered his ears after being caught by Ye Sihan.

He looked like a round, rolling ball.

Cute and amusing.

Tang Yu still hadn’t realized where she was going while sitting in the car, and when the car stopped and she found herself at the Ye Mansion, she didn’t move for a long time.

Ye Sihan looked back at her after getting out of the car.

Even the four little ones were puzzled, “Mommy, why aren’t you getting out of the car?”

“We’re home now, Mommy?”

“No need to work, Mommy can finally come home now!”

“Mm-hmm!” Xibao nodded vigorously.

Tang Yu was still in a daze, wondering if the children were to be dropped off first before she was sent back to that temperatureless rental house?

After getting out of the car, the four little ones ran happily ahead, eager to see their little penguins.

Tang Yu asked Ye Sihan, who was beside her, with little confidence, “When will you take me back to the rental house?”

“You go ask the kids,” Ye Sihan said and then walked inside.

Tang Yu was slightly stunned.

She could ask the kids? The kids would definitely not agree, right?

But did Ye Sihan mean to say that this was the kids’ idea?

Definitely not.

Even if it were the children, they couldn’t change Ye Sihan’s mind.

Following behind, Tang Yu looked at Ye Sihan’s tall and sturdy back and wondered if she was back living at the Ye Mansion again, feeling delighted within.

Upon entering the hall, the warmth inside was a completely different world from the outside.

It was warm, instantly dispelling the chill from her body.

The servants inside the Ye Mansion were all dressed in a thin uniform, which was more than sufficient.

Seeing Ye Sihan take off his coat, Tang Yu also began to undress.

Halfway through, she put it back on, “I’m going to check on the kids.” Then she turned and ran away.

Ye Sihan watched Tang Yu exit through the now empty doorway, and only after a moment did he withdraw his gaze.

“Mr. Ye, will Miss Tang stay for the night?” Uncle Wen approached and asked.

Ye Sihan shot him a deterring glance and headed upstairs.

Uncle Wen knew he had been too talkative, but he really hoped Tang Yu would stay!

After all, the children were really hard to soothe without a mother!

Tang Yu, on her way to the Ice Castle, ran into the four little ones playing with their little penguin.

On such a day, it was even colder by the Ice Castle.

Perhaps the little penguin didn’t want its young masters to catch a cold, which is why it came out to welcome them.

Tang Yu went up and petted the little penguin. It tilted its head and looked at her with its round eyes.

The maid brought the penguin’s food.

The four little ones clamored to feed it.

Tang Yu smiled, knowing they could eat on their own.

But she noticed that the penguin had two faces as well.

When eating fish off the ground, it was quite rough.

But when eating from the children’s hands, it was nothing but gentle.

“Mommy, I finished my little fish first!” Junjun held up his two empty little hands.

“Good job,” Tang Yu said with a smile, stroking his soft hair.

Junjun went back to playing with the penguin.

Tang Yu raised her head and looked into the distance unintentionally, her expression freezing as she saw Ye Sihan standing on the balcony of the second floor of the Ye Mansion, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Despite the distance, that sharp and profound gaze still exerted pressure.

Powerful, undiminished in the slightest.

“Daddy! I see Daddy!” Junjun noticed the figure on the second-floor balcony and waved with joy.

Ye Sihan turned away callously, going back to his room.

“!!!” Junjun was hugely upset, stomping his feet in anger, “Stinky Daddy is ignoring me!”

Tang Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

By evening, Ye Sihan still hadn’t mentioned taking Tang Yu back.

Tang Yu naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to ask Ye Sihan if she could stay here for the night.

What if she said too much, and Ye Sihan changed his mind and asked her to leave?

No, she wanted to stay with the children, even if it was just for one night.

It was unexpected, but her stay turned into several days, as if she had just moved in.

But Tang Yu was very clear that even if she really moved in, she still wouldn’t feel secure, as if she could be driven out of Ye Mansion at any moment.

She was just a lodger, after all.

During the day, Ye Sihan went to his company, the four little ones went to school.

Tang Yu, left alone, took to shopping.

Because she hadn’t forgotten to make up for the gift to Ye Sihan.

Giving a gift to Ye Sihan required careful consideration.

The things Ye Sihan used were mostly not available in the market, they were tailor-made, and quite pricey.

If we’re talking about buying based on price, Tang Yu definitely didn’t have that kind of money.

She could only start from the ‘thought’ that counts.

But after considering this and that, she still didn’t know what to choose.

“Back already?”

Concentrating on looking at men’s ties, Tang Yu lifted her head to see Lin Shuhuan and Zhou Qinghua approaching.

It was Lin Shuhuan who had just asked.

Tang Yu didn’t speak; she was acutely aware of how bad her relationship with these two people was.

For them to take the initiative to greet her could only mean ill intentions.

“Convinced Brother Ye to take you out for a spin and still haven’t learned to be more polite to Aunt Lin?” Zhou Qinghua mocked. “Aunt Lin is the closest elder to Brother Ye. Treat Aunt Lin well, and you might have a chance to marry into the family in the future. Isn’t that right?”

Tang Yu knew that nothing good would come out of Zhou Qinghua’s mouth.

Not wanting to start a conflict, she was just about to turn and walk away.

“Choosing a gift for Sihan?” Lin Shuhuan asked. “We’re here looking at clothes for Yuli, why don’t we do it together?”

Tang Yu looked at her, puzzled.

Why was Lin Shuhuan sounding so nice? Had she changed?

“You are, after all, the biological mother of four children. Knowing Sihan won’t marry you, there’s no need to make things difficult for you,” Lin Shuhuan said.

Zhou Qinghua was confused by her side, what did that mean? Surely they weren’t going to actually stop making things difficult for Tang Yu, right? How could they allow that?

Zhou Qinghua was about to speak when Lin Shuhuan stopped her with a look—

“Yuli’s birthday is coming up soon, you’d better take a good look too, don’t choose something he doesn’t like, he’ll want to see you even less,” Lin Shuhuan said.

“I know.”

The words were directed at Zhou Qinghua, but Tang Yu also took them in.

Indeed, if Ye Sihan didn’t like it, she would undoubtedly miss a chance to get closer.

More often than not, gifts could touch people’s hearts…

“Tang Yu, what have you chosen? What are you planning to choose? I remember Sihan’s birthday isn’t this soon,” Lin Shuhuan said.

“It’s for Christmas. I wasn’t prepared, now I’m making up for it,” Tang Yu said.

“Is that necklace around your neck given by Sihan?” Lin Shuhuan had sharp eyes.

Tang Yu subconsciously touched the necklace around her neck because she was wearing a sweater with a small V-neck, revealing it.

And she admitted directly, “Yes.”

When Zhou Qinghua saw the necklace, she was momentarily unable to discern its material.

But it definitely wasn’t cheap!

Lin Shuhuan walked up to the tie cabinet and said, “He has plenty of expensive stuff, what he lacks are gifts with significance.”

That struck a chord with Tang Yu.

She had yet to think of a ‘thoughtful’ gift!

“Give a belt!” Lin Shuhuan said.

“Right, if you want to hold onto a man’s heart, give him a belt,” Zhou Qinghua, although not understanding Lin Shuhuan’s intentions, was fine with standing united.

“But not just any ordinary belt, it has to be special, one of a kind,” Lin Shuhuan said. “I remember when Sihan just came of age, he liked a particular belt, but the manufacturer had gone out of business and it wasn’t sold anywhere anymore.”

“Since you’re so thoughtful, why not have one tailor-made for Big Brother Ye.”

Tang Yu was intrigued, “May I ask, which brand it was?”

“It’s no longer available. I’ll look for it later; if I can find it, I’ll give it to you as a sample,” Lin Shuhuan said.

“Thank you.”

“Since the gift recipient is Sihan, of course I hope he will be happier when he receives it,” Lin Shuhuan finished, turning to another men’s section.

When no one was around, Zhou Qinghua asked in a low voice, puzzled, “Why is Aunt Lin helping Tang Yu? Has she really accepted her?”

“Do you think that’s possible?” Lin Shuhuan had her calculations in mind. “Just wait! She’s got a tough time ahead! After all, no one knows Sihan better than I do. Also, see that necklace around her neck? The gem on it was acquired by Sihan at an auction last month, three billion!”

“What!” Zhou Qinghua was shocked, her eyes filled with envy as they nearly popped out of her head.
