Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 659

Xiao Linye already knew the child in her womb was his. So, his presence here now... was it because of the child?

Thinking of this, Ye Yuning trembled uncontrollably.

If that were truly the case, given their respective statuses and the current situation, he probably wouldn’t allow this child to remain. So, his personal visit was to ensure the child was... removed?

At this thought, Ye Yuning’s chest tightened, the feeling of suffocation intensifying...

A long moment passed without Xiao Linye’s reply.

Ye Yuning closed her eyes. "My child," she whispered, "can you just pretend you never existed? Please?"

No matter what, she had decided to keep this child. She knew she couldn’t contend with the Xiao Family, but she *wanted* to keep this child!

Xiao Linye’s breathing grew heavier.

Ye Yuning continued, "Don’t worry. I will never let him know who his father is, nor will I ever take him back to Upper City."

The moment she finished speaking, Xiao Linye pulled her into his embrace again.

Ye Yuning stiffened, and it felt as if her blood surged backward.

"Yuning," Xiao Linye began, his voice thick and choked with guilt.

Hearing that guilt, alarm bells blared in Ye Yuning’s mind!

Tang Xi had once said that when a man speaks to a woman in such a tone, it’s either because he has already done something terrible or is about to. Considering the current situation, Xiao Linye was likely the latter.

She clenched her fists, her voice trembling uncontrollably. "I swear, every word I said is true. It absolutely won’t affect your relationship with Qi Mulan."

"Shut up!"

At the mention of Qi Mulan, Xiao Linye’s tone turned frigid.

Hearing his frigid tone, Ye Yuning’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

"I’m telling the truth, really—" MMMPH! Before she could finish, his lips crushed down on hers, fiercely sealing them.

The familiar scent of tobacco, the familiar softness—Ye Yuning’s pupils constricted violently.

No, this isn’t right! This...!

Xiao Linye kissed her with a desperate fierceness, as if he wanted to devour her whole, to meld her into his very bones.

No one knew what he had endured from last night until this moment. He was filled with self-reproach and a boiling anger, wishing he could personally tear apart the one who had almost harmed her.

Feeling his overpowering presence, Ye Yuning stiffened. Then, snapping back to reality, she shoved him away with all her might.

SMACK! A crisp slap echoed through the quiet hospital room.

She stared at Xiao Linye, her face a mask of fury and disbelief. "Are you insane?"

Xiao Linye said nothing.

The air in the hospital room fell utterly silent.

Xiao Linye looked at Ye Yuning, her eyes wide with terror, and his heart ached even more.

Ye Yuning stared at him, wary and trembling. "You... you..."

She was so enraged, so bewildered, she was utterly speechless.

Her ex-husband, whose wedding was imminent, had just done *that* to her? It wasn’t just inexplicable; it was a profound humiliation!

If Ye Yuning was angry, Xiao Linye felt a suffocating tightness in his own chest.

The events of the past few days had been chaotic, but he had finally begun to make sense of them. Yet, facing Ye Yuning now, he was momentarily at a loss for how to begin.

Xiao Linye sighed. He took her hand, saying nothing, and gently rubbed her palm, which was still red from slapping him.

Ye Yuning instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but Xiao Linye held on tighter. "Let me go," she demanded.

"Ningning..." Xiao Linye murmured, his voice pained.

BANG! Suddenly, the hospital room door was flung open, and Kang Xuan rushed in. "Sir, it’s bad!"

Disturbed, Xiao Linye’s eyes flashed with displeasure. He turned and shot Kang Xuan a cold glare.

When Kang Xuan saw that Ye Yuning was awake, his expression froze. He quickly turned and exited the room.

"Sir, I’ll wait for you outside."

With that, the hospital door closed once more.

Xiao Linye turned back to Ye Yuning and gently caressed her cheek. "I need to step out for a moment."

At that moment, he was just like a husband telling his wife where he was going!

Without waiting for Ye Yuning’s response, Xiao Linye stood up and walked out.

The hospital door opened and closed again.

Left alone in the room, Ye Yuning felt utterly frozen...

What in the world was going on? Even if her mind was usually quick, this... this was all too much...

Hurriedly, she pulled out her phone and called Tang Xi. "Xi Xi, has something happened in Upper City?"

"Gui Xingli and Ling Yan are now demanding 11 billion from Old Mr. Xiao! They added an extra billion because of what happened to you last night!"

Ye Yuning was speechless.

So *that* was part of it too?

"Are you saying what happened to me last night is connected to Old Mr. Xiao?"

Since waking up, Ye Yuning had been struggling to process everything. Now, her mind was in even more of a turmoil.

Tang Xi replied, "It’s not entirely clear if it’s directly related, but it probably is. Otherwise, Ling Yan and Gui Xingli wouldn’t be so dead set on blaming Old Mr. Xiao."

Ye Yuning fell silent.

This...

"Then, is there some problem with Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan’s wedding?"

"Nope!"

"Nothing at all?"

"I haven’t heard any whispers. In fact, I just saw a news report where Qi Mulan mentioned that the custom-made ring Xiao Linye had designed for her has arrived."

Ye Yuning was silent again.

"And let me tell you, that ring is seriously huge and incredibly flashy!" Tang Xi exclaimed, her voice tinged with indignation.

Ye Yuning said nothing.

Hearing this, Ye Yuning’s breath caught in her throat.
