Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 673

Ye Yuning slept for a very long time.

Tang Xi saw that the soup had cooled. She had reheated it several times, but in the end, the soup had completely evaporated. With no other choice, she decided to go back and make a new batch.

Tang Xi was managing the meals. Xiao Linye remained in the hospital room, not leaving for a moment, while Qin Jinchuan stood guard outside.

Who could have imagined that such a strong brotherly bond would now be completely shattered?

When Ye Yuning woke up, she saw Xiao Linye sitting exhaustedly on the chair beside her bed. Hearing her stir, Xiao Linye immediately stood up. "You’re awake? Are you thirsty? Hungry?"

At that moment, his tone was filled with gentleness. For a fleeting moment, it felt as if they had returned to their days at Shanyu Pavilion.

But it was only for a moment. Ye Yuning quickly came to her senses; seeing the hospital room, she knew where they were. This wasn’t Shanyu Pavilion, and they... they could never go back to how things were!

When she didn’t respond, Xiao Linye took the initiative to pour her some warm water. "Would you like some water?"

Ye Yuning looked at him, but withdrew her gaze after just one glance.

Clearly, by now, she didn’t want to see Xiao Linye, nor did she wish to say a single word to him. Xiao Linye watched her like this.

His heart... clenched painfully...

"You’ve slept for so long. Do you need to use the restroom?" he asked gently.

It had to be said, even though he was the fearsome Seventh Master Xiao of rumor, when it came to Ye Yuning, he was truly a man with a remarkably considerate heart.

Ye Yuning turned over and got out of bed. Having slept for so long, she did indeed need to use the restroom.

When nature calls! She couldn’t very well hold it in and make herself suffer just because he was there.

When Xiao Linye saw her get up, he quickly moved to help her with the IV drip, which the doctor had only just set up.

However, the next moment, Ye Yuning silently held out her hand to him.

Xiao Linye stammered, "I—I’ll help you..."

Ye Yuning just watched him quietly, saying nothing.

Her silence was suffocating to Xiao Linye, yet he remained resolute.

"There, there, let me help you." Now, anything concerning her, he wanted to handle personally.

A fire ignited in Ye Yuning’s eyes.

The next moment, she lunged forward, forcefully trying to snatch the IV bag from his hands.

Xiao Linye instinctively raised the IV bag over his head, easily evading her grasp.

Ye Yuning wasn’t very tall to begin with.

Xiao Linye said gently, "Let’s go to the restroom first, alright?"

His tone was as gentle as he could make it, yet his determination to care for her was firm.

But people... when they make a mistake, they shouldn’t delude themselves into thinking they’ll always have a chance to make amends. For grave errors, one might wish to atone, but the other party isn’t always willing to grant that opportunity. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Take Ye Yuning at this moment, for example. Beneath Xiao Linye’s gentle gaze, she was utterly cold, her eyes filled with a thick layer of frost.

Finally, right before Xiao Linye’s eyes, she ruthlessly yanked the IV needle from the back of her hand.

Xiao Linye’s breath caught. "Ye Yuning..."

Blood spurted from the back of her hand due to her violent action, an instantly shocking sight. Xiao Linye instinctively reached to check her hand.

But Ye Yuning had already turned away coldly and walked straight into the restroom.

BANG. The restroom door slammed shut, leaving Xiao Linye standing rigidly in place, IV bag in hand, unable to process what had happened for a long time.

She, who was so afraid of pain, had just now, so unhesitatingly...

Qin Jinchuan, hearing the commotion from outside, pushed the door open and entered, only to find Xiao Linye holding the IV bag, his expression stiff.

Xiao Linye shot him a fierce glare.

From the moment Qin Jinchuan had started standing guard at the hospital room door, Xiao Linye had been seething, wanting to rush out and beat him up at any given moment.

Qin Jinchuan met his gaze and stated coolly, "Retribution."

His already constricted chest tightened further upon hearing Qin Jinchuan’s cutting remark, his heart leaping into his throat.

If one were to truly analyze it, wasn’t this retribution? And a particularly cruel form of it. This little woman, she was his undeniable, harsh retribution.

Qin Jinchuan hadn’t interfered in their conflict; Ye Yuning’s emotions were volatile and could erupt at any moment. Witnessing her torment Xiao Linye filled him with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Despite their many years of brotherhood, Qin Jinchuan strongly disapproved of Xiao Linye’s actions regarding Ye Yuning. Whatever his reasons for getting engaged to Qi Mulan, it shouldn’t have happened so quickly. The way it had played out at the time seemed utterly heartless!

「In the hospital room.」

Ye Yuning emerged from the restroom and climbed directly onto the bed. Her movements were so abrupt that Xiao Linye’s heart once again leaped into his throat.

"You’re in a delicate condition right now; don’t make such large movements."

He had medical knowledge. He knew that women recovering from childbirth shouldn’t make strenuous movements, as it could affect their recovery. Although she hadn’t gone through a full childbirth, she had suffered massive blood loss this time, and her body had undoubtedly sustained considerable internal damage.

However, in response to his anxious words, Ye Yuning offered only disdainful silence.

Xiao Linye stepped forward, placed the IV bag on the bedside table, and reached to check the back of her hand.

But Ye Yuning had already pulled the covers over herself completely.

Xiao Linye felt a lump in his throat. "Let me see!"
