Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 714

Ye Yuning didn’t want to share a bed with Xiao Linye.

However, Xiao Linye showed no sign of leaving that night. After what seemed like an endless struggle, Ye Yuning grew tired and collapsed onto the bed, listless.

"Xiao Linye, you’re just shameless," she said viciously, her back turned to him.

Xiao Linye turned over and pulled her into his arms. Ye Yuning struggled briefly, but he didn’t loosen his grip. Exhausted, she had absolutely no strength to resist. The man was silent, his warm breath tickling her neck. After an unknown amount of time, an exhausted Ye Yuning fell asleep.

Yet Xiao Linye, in the dim space, opened his eyes, thinking of what Ye Yuning had called him just moments before.

Shameless, am I? How could he dare to care about shame? Especially in front of her, he didn’t dare! If he chose his pride, he would lose her completely. So, it was better to discard his pride.

He hadn’t planned to cling to her like this; after all, her health wasn’t good. But thinking of her attitude toward him, if he really let her go on being this cold, he would lose her for good. With that thought, Xiao Linye couldn’t hold back any longer.

That night, Xiao Linye held Ye Yuning all night without sleeping, cradling his regained treasure in his arms. To prevent any mishap, he stayed vigilant the whole time.

As for Ye Yuning, she slept exceptionally well that night, probably worn out by Xiao Linye’s antics. Once she fell asleep, she didn’t wake again until the next morning, when she realized she was resting on Xiao Linye’s arm.

Her breath hitched sharply!

You, you... Why is this person still here? she thought.

Xiao Linye looked down at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Facing such warmth, Ye Yuning involuntarily drew in a sharp breath. Demon! she muttered internally. Sure enough, this Xiao Linye was a demon, a lethal one at that.

"Awake?" Xiao Linye asked.

Ye Yuning, not in the best of moods, tried to rise from his embrace, but as soon as she moved, she heard Xiao Linye grunt.

Ye Yuning paused. "What now? Trying to feign injury?"

"You slept on my arm all night. Now it’s completely numb," Xiao Linye said.

Ye Yuning was speechless. She had slept on Xiao Linye’s arm the entire night? This was preposterous! Now, she almost wished she could slap herself twice. How pathetic! What kind of constitution did she have now? In her view, her physical stamina was very poor. She glared fiercely at Xiao Linye before getting up.

Xiao Linye, seeing her fierce gaze, laughed. When had he ever noticed this girl being so adorable? But then again, she had never fully shown her true nature in front of him before. That was why he had never associated her with the foster daughter of the Ye Family.

"Aren’t you getting up?" Ye Yuning asked, clearly annoyed. She had finished dressing and came out to find Xiao Linye still lying on her bed.

Xiao Linye held out his hand to her. "Help me up."

Ye Yuning was speechless again.

Seeing him like this, she was utterly exasperated. What on earth is he planning to do!

Her already grim expression darkened even further. Taking a deep breath, she clenched her teeth. "Have you still not figured out what exactly happened between us?"

Xiao Linye fell silent.

Hearing Ye Yuning’s words, his heart felt as if it had been tugged sharply. He didn’t know how long she would hold this old grudge, but each time he heard her bring it up, it felt truly awful.

Ye Yuning paid Xiao Linye no further attention. Regarding his actions the previous night, she felt like someone completely unworldly, with no idea how to deal with him.

She had just sat down in the dining hall when Xiao Linye came downstairs shortly afterward. Kang Xuan unconsciously glanced towards the staircase, then lowered his head again.

Xiao Linye had arranged the breakfast! He had originally intended to get up and prepare it for Ye Yuning himself, but since she was sleeping on his arm, he worried that moving would wake her. So, he had instructed the kitchen to prepare it according to his directions.

Ye Yuning said, "I received over ten billion from your father yesterday!"

The moment Xiao Linye picked up his bowl of porridge and heard her words, he froze.

Over ten billion? Was it from the negotiation Gui Xingli and Ling Yan had with him? He had been adamantly opposed to the idea before, so why had it suddenly been accepted now? Over ten billion—this was no small sum!

Xiao Linye frowned at Ye Yuning but remained silent.

Ye Yuning continued, "I’ve accepted the money. Your father will likely make it a condition for me to leave you, and I’ll agree. After all, over ten billion is worth it!"

Kang Xuan, standing in a corner of the dining area, felt a cold sweat trickle down his back when he heard Ye Yuning’s words.

She truly dared! Would she actually sell out Xiao Linye for over ten billion? Does she even understand what kind of loss this deal would mean for her once it was done?

Xiao Linye knew she was deliberately provoking him. Instead of getting angry, he laughed. "That money is hardly enough to buy our separation."

"No matter what it’s for, I’ve taken the money. As soon as he proposes a condition, I’ll accept!" Ye Yuning declared.

"What if he wants you to marry Xiao Shuo?"

Ye Yuning was silent.

The atmosphere in the dining room instantly quieted. They were all intelligent people; upon hearing about the over ten billion, they immediately understood what might happen next.

Ye Yuning scoffed, "Then I’ll marry him. It’s just marrying someone, isn’t it? It’s not like I haven’t been married before!"

At these words, Xiao Linye’s face turned frighteningly dark.
