Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 52

About half an hour later, Xiao Li finally came out of his office.

His expression had clearly eased, which probably meant that his private conversation with Ye Yuning had yielded a good outcome.

The moment Xiao Shuo stood up, the pain made him grimace, and Xiao Li shot him a glare!

But the ferocity in those eyes was also noticeably softer than before, revealing that the beating had achieved its desired effect, which allowed Xiao Li to breathe a sigh of relief.

After seeing the two off, Chen Wei hurried back to the office to find Ye Yuning. "Is this... is this really an apology visit?"

"What do you think?" Ye Yuning snorted.

An apology? Thinking of Xiao Li’s kind appearance just now, she only had two words to describe it: hypocritical!

And all that talk about how she was wronged... Was it only today that he, as Xiao Shuo’s father, learned about the despicable things Xiao Shuo had done?

Chen Wei also found it unlikely and asked, "Was it about the Xiao Corporation’s affairs then?"

Ye Yuning nodded. "Mm," she agreed, then said, "It seems the Xiao Corporation’s new CEO can really keep that spoiled heir in check!"

Though she wasn’t particularly bothered about who would keep him in check for her! But who wouldn’t want some peace and quiet?

To think Xiao Shuo could harass and threaten her at any moment for Ye Tong’s sake. Even if she wasn’t physically harmed, it was still incredibly annoying.

She had to deal with so many business partners day in and day out; where would she find the time to waste on such a despicable man?

It’s good if he can be kept in check!

Chen Wei asked, "So, has the Xiao Corporation given you a satisfactory explanation now?"

"Mm, not bad!" Ye Yuning felt particularly good.

Remembering the scene where Xiao Shuo had been beaten by Second Master Xiao earlier, she thought for the first time that Second Master Xiao also seemed quite formidable.

He had been so arrogant when trying to make trouble for her on Ye Tong’s behalf before, but this time he was just as pathetic!

Who would have thought she’d live to see the day Xiao Shuo apologized while grimacing in pain!

"So, are we planning to cooperate with the Xiao Corporation on Nanjia Peak again?"

Chen Wei’s heart leaped into her throat. All she could think of were those heartbreaking nights spent working overtime for the Xiao Corporation.

Speaking of cooperation, Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "Those are two separate issues, right?"

"Ah?" Separate issues? Chen Wei stiffened. No, this...!

Ye Yuning said, "Xiao Shuo was causing trouble for me, and his fiancée smashed up my office. It’s only right he gives me an explanation, isn’t it?"

So what does this have to do with whether or not to cooperate on Nanjia Peak again?

Chen Wei took a deep breath and numbly nodded. "Yeah, that makes sense."

But the problem is, the Xiao Corporation isn’t necessarily one to play by the rules. Today, even Second Master Xiao was called over, and he beat Xiao Shuo like that in the office. This apology clearly has a purpose!

"Alright, time to clock off," Ye Yuning announced. She didn’t want to continue dwelling on matters related to the Xiao Corporation.

She was already starving, and Xiao Linye had said he would make her something delicious tonight.

They both had the surname Xiao, so why was there such a huge difference between them? This comparison only made Xiao Shuo seem even more pathetic!

While she was talking with Xiao Li earlier, Xiao Linye had sent her a message.

The WeChat message didn’t say anything; it just showed a photo of tonight’s ingredient: a rabbit.

Ye Yuning immediately replied, "Ten minutes until I’m home!"

Then she rushed out of the office as if her feet had wings.

Chen Wei, following a few steps behind, couldn’t even squeeze into the same elevator.

When she entered her apartment, a rich aroma, mingled with other savory scents, greeted her.

This instantly tantalized Ye Yuning’s taste buds!

She went inside, changed her shoes, and then her clothes.

By the time she had freshened up and came out, Xiao Linye’s dry pot rabbit was already on the table.

Ye Yuning quickly turned to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

Xiao Linye watched her agile figure, a soft smile curling the corners of his mouth.

Ye Yuning was really hungry!

She hadn’t eaten much that afternoon, which was why she had planned to leave work early. However, Xiao Li’s arrival had delayed her by an hour.

Xiao Linye picked up the orange juice, and Ye Yuning immediately asked, "Is it iced?"

The man paused what he was doing at her words. Then he looked at her. "Alternating between hot and cold, are you trying to end up in the hospital in the middle of the night?"

"No, my stomach is fine!"

Every time she ate something she shouldn’t, it usually didn’t affect her stomach, but her teeth. Besides, tonight’s dry pot didn’t have chili peppers; she’d be fine!

Even though she said that, Xiao Linye didn’t indulge her. "Room temperature tastes just fine."

Ye Yuning pouted but didn’t reply.

A dish like dry pot just had to be paired with an ice-cold drink; otherwise, it wouldn’t be satisfying.

Seeing her pouting, Xiao Linye chuckled. "When it comes to eating, you seem to really indulge yourself."

Hearing the word "indulge," Ye Yuning paused.

Then she replied, "Food is paramount to the people. Since it’s paramount, shouldn’t it be a primary source of enjoyment in life?"

This left Xiao Linye speechless.

But did she know how many people ended up weighing several hundred pounds because of this "paramount importance"? However, it seemed she didn’t need to worry about this problem, because despite treating food as paramount, she still weighed less than a hundred pounds!

Just as Xiao Linye finished pouring Ye Yuning her orange juice, a message from Lai Shuo came through.

The moment the phone screen on the table flashed, Ye Yuning instantly saw the word "Manlang."
