Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 708

Ye Yuning scoffed, "I’m not going to stoop to her level!"

To say that Xia Andai was infuriating was an understatement; anyone who took her seriously would be angered to death. Over the years, Ye Yuning had grown accustomed to her sharp tongue.

"Elder Mr. Xiao asked Ling Yan and Gui Xingli to see him," Xia Andai said, pulling up a chair and sitting down.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuning and Tang Xi exchanged glances. Tang Xi’s eyes were filled with confusion; she clearly hadn’t known about this.

Then she looked at Xia Andai. "Why does Elder Mr. Xiao want to see them?"

Haven’t they already discussed everything that needed to be discussed? It’s just that they never reached an agreement. Elder Mr. Xiao’s stance was very firm; even if it meant disowning his grandson, he wouldn’t pay that sum of over ten billion. So, what did it mean for him to suddenly want to meet Ling Yan and Gui Xingli?

Xia Andai said, "No matter how much of a scoundrel he is, he’s still his own grandson. Words spoken in anger don’t count."

Tang Xi nodded. "That’s true!"

No matter what, Xiao Shuo was a descendant of the Xiao Family. As useless as he was, he was still a person. Since he was a descendant of the Xiao Family, Elder Mr. Xiao couldn’t possibly ignore him completely.

Ye Yuning remained silent, her brow furrowing at these words.

Xia Andai glanced at her. "I don’t think this is as simple as it looks. You should be careful."

At this remark, Tang Xi and Ye Yuning both turned to look at her.

"What do you mean, not simple?" Tang Xi asked, confused. Didn’t they just say he’s a Xiao Family descendant and Elder Mr. Xiao would definitely take care of him? It’s only right for him to look after his own grandson, so how could it be complicated?

Xia Andai explained, "When it comes to the Xiao Family, whatever Elder Mr. Xiao does probably seems right. But the issue is, at this critical juncture, how does he suddenly have the time to deal with Xiao Shuo’s affairs? Knowing Ye Yuning is back, shouldn’t all his attention be on handling the situation between Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye? Yet now, he’s involving himself with Xiao Shuo, whom he previously wanted nothing more to do with."

"Yeah, it does seem a bit off for him to be dealing with Xiao Shuo’s matters right now," Tang Xi said, looking at Ye Yuning with a grave expression.

Ye Yuning said, "Let’s just wait and see what tricks these people are up to!" Didn’t I know what was waiting for me in Upper City when I came back from Turanxi?

Tang Xi added, "Anyway, just be careful."

"For now, I’m focusing on recuperating," Ye Yuning stated.

Xia Andai remarked, "At present, that’s the only sensible thing you can do." The implication was that Ye Yuning should avoid making any moves, especially concerning her career or other affairs in Upper City.

Ye Yuning understood Xia Andai’s meaning. "Right now, I don’t have the time or energy for anything else." I can’t even keep up with the orders coming in from outside. As for Upper City, I really don’t have the mental energy to deal with it right now!

"It’s better that you don’t have time," Xia Andai said. "Just wait; things will quiet down eventually." She trusted Ye Yuning understood her.

Xia Andai and Tang Xi left.

Xiangti was filled with people arranged by Xiao Linye. Tang Xi mentioned that when she came in, she saw bodyguards everywhere. This showed that Xiao Linye’s protection for Ye Yuning this time was truly comprehensive. This was also the main reason Xia Andai had advised Ye Yuning not to go out. Let the people outside make a scene if they want. We’ll see how far they can take it. The important thing was for Xiangti to remain peaceful.

When Xiao Linye returned, Ye Yuning was on the phone. Although she was in Upper City, her studio had expanded significantly, and she naturally needed to manage its affairs properly.

Seeing Xiao Linye enter, she quickly said a few words to the person on the phone and then hung up.

No matter her attitude over the phone, the moment she saw Xiao Linye, any warmth vanished from her eyes.

Xiao Linye stepped forward and embraced her. "You need to rest more right now, understand?"

Ye Yuning retorted, "I can’t stay in bed all day, can I?"

Xiao Linye fell silent. Hearing her icy tone, he felt a pang of bitterness. On the phone, Kang Xuan had said Ye Yuning had a good day; Gui Xingli had joined her for lunch. Afterward, Ling Yan had stopped by, as had Yan Jun, Xia Andai, and Tang Xi. He felt somewhat displeased knowing they had all visited. After all, Ye Yuning’s body primarily needed proper rest, and with their visits, she would have to get up and entertain them.

Suppressing the ache in his chest, Xiao Linye spoke again, his voice even gentler, "Dinner’s ready. Would you like to eat in the room or go downstairs?"

Ye Yuning replied, "Let’s go downstairs." She had never been comfortable eating in the room.

Xiao Linye nodded. "Okay."

With that, he swept her up into his arms.

Ye Yuning instinctively cried out, "AH! What are you doing?"

Xiao Linye said, "Taking you to dinner."

"There’s no need! Put me down," Ye Yuning struggled. She could walk on her own; she didn’t want to be carried by Xiao Linye.

Xiao Linye looked down at her, a hint of pain in his eyes. "Don’t move. Be good."

"I want to walk by myself!"

"No."

Her attitude was firm, but Xiao Linye showed no sign of yielding.
