Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 670

Ye Yuning was in pain, truly in pain.

The child was something she was willing to risk her life for, yet now it was gone.

How could she not be heartbroken?

"Regardless of anything else, the most important thing right now is you," Tang Xi said in distress.

The more important the child had been to Ye Yuning, the more excruciating the pain of its loss was now.

"I’ve already accepted that he won’t be in my world anymore. I’ve accepted that I will never return to Upper City. What more do they want from me?"

"Ningning..."

"I didn’t obstruct his marriage to Qi Mulan. He can be with whomever he loves. How much more do I have to compromise?"

Ye Yuning cried, her cries hysterical.

Listening to her low, hoarse sobs, Tang Xi felt even more pained. She said she had compromised... When had Ye Yuning ever compromised? Since they had known each other, Ye Yuning had never yielded. In her world, for anything that concerned her, she would strive for perfection and ensure it remained firmly within her grasp. However, this time, facing the loss of this child, was likely her only compromise.

"I’ve already compromised! Why are they still treating me like this?" After that choked cry, she dissolved into whimpering sobs.

This was the first time Tang Xi had seen her so helpless. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Setting aside the soup she was holding, she gently embraced Ye Yuning.

"Xi Xi, I don’t want anything else. I just want this child, can’t I? Do they really have to push me this far, to be so utterly merciless?"

Tang Xi remained silent for a moment. Yes, utterly merciless, bent on complete annihilation! Things in Upper City had also gone crazy. Ling Yan and Gui Xingli were the first to get the news. They had asked her to take care of Ye Yuning here. Meanwhile, back in Upper City, they were frantically confronting the Xiao Family patriarch.

"Don’t cry. Crying is bad for you right now, bad for your body."

"Was my compromise this time also a mistake?" Ye Yuning asked, her voice choked with emotion.

Tang Xi said, "You didn’t make a mistake. The people of the Xiao Family are despicable."

"They have no moral bottom line themselves, yet they think I’m the one who has made them a joke..."

"Right, that’s exactly it!" Tang Xi said.

Now, whatever Ye Yuning said, Tang Xi would agree with her.

Although Ye Yuning’s mind was somewhat jumbled from the loss of her child, Tang Xi had to admit, Ye Yuning was right! The Xiao Family had been a constant source of ridicule for years. With a grandson like Xiao Shuo, when had the Xiao Family ever truly been respectable? The headlines in Upper City were constantly dominated by him. He spent his nights in revelry! He was the one who had made Ye Yuning a laughingstock, yet now the Xiao Family blamed her for turning them into one!

"Stop crying now, be good," Tang Xi comforted her softly.

Ye Yuning said, "Xi Xi, I really hate him..."

The "him" she spoke of was Xiao Linye.

In Ye Yuning’s heart, Xiao Linye’s appearance at this critical juncture meant he was here to take away her child, ensuring he and Qi Mulan would have no future worries.

"Does he truly have not even a sliver of affection left for me?"

Tang Xi found no words. Did he? She truly didn’t know anymore... Of all things, human affection was the most fickle. Xiao Linye had seemed so good to Ye Yuning before. Who could possibly know when his heart had actually changed towards Ye Yuning?

"Stop thinking about it, okay!"

Ye Yuning said, "But when we were together, everything was so good. Why can’t he spare even a little of that past affection now?"

Tang Xi was quiet. Spare any affection? Facing Ye Yuning’s raw grief, Tang Xi took a sharp breath. "If he truly cherished the bond you shared, he wouldn’t have gotten engaged to Qi Mulan so soon after breaking up with you."

When it came to affection, Tang Xi truly didn’t believe Xiao Linye had shown any, at least not for Yuning anymore.

"Ningning, if we women rely on a man’s affection, we’re only tormenting ourselves."

Tang Xi wasn’t sure if she was saying those words for Ye Yuning or for herself. When she first started seeing Jiang Bo, things had been good too. A goodness so profound it had felt like it was etched into her very soul... Yet who could have guessed that when they separated, all that apparent goodness had been calculated.

"You’re right," Ye Yuning murmured. "We can’t rely on it. Relying on it is just torture!"

Before, she hadn’t understood why things between Tang Xi and Jiang Bo had ended up so badly. Jiang Bo had clearly been so good to Tang Xi at the beginning; why had they later resorted to physical fights? Back then, Ye Yuning hadn’t quite understood, assuming it was due to Tang Xi’s work. But now, after her own experience with Xiao Linye, she... finally understood! Feelings? When things were good, there were solemn vows of eternal love. When things turned bad, there was only hysteria! The contrast between then and now was so stark, it was like they became someone she didn’t even recognize.

"Don’t think about these things anymore," Tang Xi soothed, patting her shoulder.

Ye Yuning said, "But I just feel awful, really awful," her voice tight with pain, as if she could barely breathe.

"It’s okay. It will get better soon. Time heals all wounds."

Some cruelties in life, even when you see them and understand the supposed wisdom about them, still strike at your deepest emotions. How could the pain be any less? The only solution is to entrust all the wounds you’ve suffered to time...
