Chapter 22 -22: Help Me
The space with Ye Sihan present always seemed to have a particularly low air pressure.
“Did Mr. Ye leave so soon?” Tang Yu asked.
“Yeah.”
“Oh.” Tang Yu touched her nose, thinking to herself, Your attendance at the engagement party was awfully perfunctory, as if just making an appearance. After a pause, she asked with curiosity, “Mrs. Ye Yuli… do you call her Aunt Lin?”
The moment she finished her question, a chill appeared to seep through the already low pressure atmosphere, crawling up her spine, sending shivers throughout her body and numbing her scalp.
Her breathing became cautious and guarded.
Had she said something wrong…?
The elevator made an abnormal noise with a clang and stopped moving, causing Tang Yu to let out a scream in fright.
Then, the lights flickered twice and went out, plunging the entire elevator into pitch darkness.
“Ah!”
“What are you screaming about?” Ye Sihan frowned in the dark, his demeanor remaining calm.
But Tang Yu wasn’t able to hear him, her body going limp, leaning against the elevator wall, and slowly sliding down to sit on the floor.
Ye Sihan took out his phone and made a call, quickly getting through, “Mr. Ye.”
“Send someone over, the elevator has malfunctioned.”
He ordered the bodyguards to be faster than the hotel staff.
After making the call, he realized something wasn’t right. The breathing in the darkness was heavy, each breath sounding as if it was struggling for air.
Ye Sihan turned on his phone’s flashlight and saw Tang Yu pressed against the elevator wall, her hand on her chest, her mouth wide open gasping for air, but it seemed like she couldn’t take in any oxygen.
Her reaction was obviously not normal.
Ye Sihan crouched down, tilting her face upward to maintain a better breathing posture, “Relax.”
Tang Yu couldn’t relax at all; she used all her body and soul just to breathe heavily.
As if the moment she relaxed, she would suffocate to death.
She felt terrible; even the light from the phone was not enough.
Reaching out, her hands clung tightly to Ye Sihan’s arms as if they were a lifeline she refused to release, “Save… save me…”
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, each breath a tremendous struggle.
Ye Sihan’s eyebrows knit together, recognizing this as claustrophobia. A little light was of no use.
Tang Yu twisted in discomfort, her fingers gripping Ye Sihan’s arm so tightly they contorted, her skin pale and bloodless.
And the longer the time dragged on, the more serious the problem became.
Tang Yu was in extreme pain, feeling like she was going to die there.
But… but she couldn’t die, she had four children to care for. If she died, what would become of the children? She didn’t want this…
“Help me…” Tang Yu managed to speak two difficult words, her breathing becoming even heavier, her brain beginning to lack oxygen. It was a mere instinct to seek survival.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, a warm presence pressed against her lips, and oxygen flowed into her mouth.
Like a person unable to breathe on their own being given an oxygen mask, gradually, the frantic rising and falling of her chest eased.

The instinct to live made Tang Yu’s lips actively seek more air, desiring more oxygen.
When the elevator doors opened, that was the scene that greeted the onlookers.
Tang Yu was clinging weakly to Ye Sihan, unwilling to stop their kiss.
Ye Yuli, Zhou Qinghua, and Luo Bingbing stood at the elevator doors, shocked by the scene before them.
The bodyguards and hotel staff didn’t know what to do, and could only stand there dumbfounded.
Ye Sihan’s thin lips parted, and he picked up Tang Yu from his arms, stepping out of the elevator.
Tang Yu remained limp and dazed, incapable of taking care of herself and unaware of the situation, letting Ye Sihan carry her away.
To others, her behavior was interpreted as being kissed until her legs went weak.
“This… Yuli, did your brother really take a fancy to Tang Yu?” Zhou Qinghua panicked, looking toward Ye Yuli and then freezing.
At that moment, Ye Yuli’s expression was extremely grim, and he turned and walked away.
Luo Bingbing chased after him but only managed to see the tail lights of the Rolls-Royce as it sped away, leaving her so infuriated she felt like her lungs were about to burst.
Halfway through the ride, Tang Yu finally calmed down; thinking about the terrifying encounter in the elevator and how Ye Sihan had given her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, she lowered her lashes and whispered softly, “Thank you…”
“Is it congenital?”
Tang Yu knew what Ye Sihan was asking. She pursed her lips, looked out the car window, and didn’t answer his question, “Please let me out here, I’ll take a taxi back.”
Ye Sihan, seeing that she dared to ignore his question, unexpectedly didn’t force her. More than that, he didn’t seem very interested, “The address.”
Tang Yu gave the address.
When the car arrived outside the residential complex, Ye Sihan lifted his thin lips coldly, “Are you sure this is the place?”
Tang Yu knew she had previously lied about her real address and now fessed up honestly, “I wouldn’t dare deceive you again.”
“I hope you always remember that.” Ye Sihan reminded her with sharp, piercing eyes carrying an intense danger.
After Tang Yu got out of the car and watched the Rolls-Royce vanish, she took a deep sigh of relief.
She truly didn’t dare to lie to Ye Sihan; this was indeed Li Xue’s residence.
Ye Sihan was too shrewd, and any irregularities could easily be detected.
Fortunately, Ye Sihan wouldn’t easily go to Li Xue’s place, so the four kids were at no immediate risk of being exposed.
Even so, she had to be careful at all times.
As soon as she entered the house, the four little ones rushed towards her—
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
Tang Yu was pushed back a step by their soft little bodies, feeling a blissful satisfaction.
In her mind, she thought about what would happen to them if she had really suffocated to death in the elevator…
So, for the sake of her children, she would strive to live.
“Why are you back so soon? I thought you’d come back after lunch!” Li Xue said.
“Just showing my face was good enough,” Tang Yu said.
Li Xue knew she went to a classmate’s engagement party but was unaware that this classmate was in cahoots with Luo Bingbing.
If she knew, she definitely wouldn’t understand her actions.
Sigh. It was just that she couldn’t stand Ye Yuli’s self-righteous demeanor.
Tang Yu and Li Xue cooked lunch together, and the four little ones played happily in the living room.
The three sons were more lively and active, while Xibao was sweetly naive, accidentally bumped into something, and rolled straight into the corner like a ball.
“Xibao, are you okay?” Tang Yu asked when she saw it.
“Um!” Xibao sat in the corner, with a face full of naïve confusion, as if he didn’t understand how he could have rolled so far.
The three sons ran over with their little legs, “Xibao, are you hurt?”
Xibao lifted his chubby little face and smiled happily.
“They’re so cute! I love them!” Li Xue’s eyes sparkled, “And they’re so sensible and easy to take care of!”
Tang Yu laughed, “Yeah, otherwise I definitely would have struggled to handle them alone.”
She spoke lightly, but the hardship was known only to her.
After all, when they were first born, she had to take care of the children all night long, adjusting her sleep and routine to fit theirs, with no one to help, almost leading to depression.
Thankfully, it got much easier after they turned two.
They stayed in all afternoon, and after dinner, Tang Yu and Li Xue went out to walk the kids.
The four little ones waddled about like little penguins set free, flapping their arms as they ran forward, utterly joyous.
Tang Yu hoped they could remain this carefree for a lifetime.
