Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 718

When Xiao Linye came home for lunch, he could distinctly sense that Ye Yuning’s aura had softened considerably, though she still treated him with indifference.

Throughout the meal, no matter what he said, she wouldn’t reply, remaining utterly silent. After finishing, she went directly upstairs.

When Ye Yuning’s figure disappeared around the bend in the stairs, Xiao Linye looked towards Kang Xuan, who was standing to the side.

Kang Xuan stepped forward. "Miss Yan Jun came by today."

"What did she say?" Xiao Linye asked.

"The Old Master plans to let the Third Young Master out, but the condition is that he marries the lady. However, the Third Young Master is too afraid of you to come out, and the Old Master is quite furious about this."

Xiao Linye was silent for a moment. Hearing this, a cold sneer touched the corner of his mouth.

"So, he’s just wasted over ten billion?"

"It seems so, at present!" Kang Xuan said.

No wonder that little minx was happy; so that was the reason, Xiao Linye thought. Indeed, it was something to be happy about. Father has been scheming his whole life, yet when people are truly afraid, they don’t compromise so easily.

Ye Yuning went upstairs and lay down directly on the sofa in her room.

When Xiao Linye came in and saw her like that, he sighed, walked over, and covered her with a blanket.

Ye Yuning opened her eyes and glared at him coldly, still without speaking.

Xiao Linye asked, "You really don’t want to talk to me?"

Ye Yuning turned her head to the side, remaining silent.

Xiao Linye’s warm palm covered her cold cheek. "It doesn’t matter if Ningning doesn’t want to talk to me; I’ll talk to you."

"Who cares if you talk to me!" Ye Yuning snapped.

He was the one who treated me with indifference before, and now he says he wants to talk to me? Is that necessary? It’s not necessary anymore, she fumed internally.

Xiao Linye watched her, a trace of bitterness in his eyes.

"Yes, Ningning doesn’t care, but I do. I care a lot."

Faced with this side of Xiao Linye, Ye Yuning simply stopped talking. Dealing with someone like him could really infuriate a person to death!

Xiao Linye said, "After your confinement period ends, I’ll take you out for a walk."

She remained silent.

"Be good during this time, and don’t leave Xiangti!"

There were also some other troubles to deal with, so it wasn’t suitable for her to go out during this period.

When Ye Yuning heard the word "confinement," a shadow of sorrow crossed her eyes.

What exactly is a confinement period for a woman who hasn’t had a child? she wondered bleakly.

No matter what Xiao Linye said, she remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

Xiao Linye felt helpless. He didn’t leave until a call came from Lai Shuo. Before leaving, he told Kang Xuan not to allow any unrelated people to enter.

Kang Xuan naturally agreed. He hadn’t managed the Turanxi matter well; now, no matter what, he had to protect Xiangti diligently.

Xiao Linye’s predictions proved correct. Old Master Xiao had suffered a setback because of Xiao Shuo and was now particularly furious with Ye Yuning.

Xiao Linye had just left when Housekeeper Zhong arrived at Xiangti, right on his heels.

Seeing him, Kang Xuan’s expression turned serious. "Housekeeper Zhong, please leave."

"The Old Master wants to see the Seventh Young Madam," Housekeeper Zhong said, his tone still polite.

When Kang Xuan heard the words "Seventh Young Madam," his brow furrowed involuntarily. But it was only for a moment before his gaze hardened.

He said, "Go back and tell the Old Master that if he truly wishes to see the Seventh Young Madam, he should inform the Seventh Young Master and have him bring her back."

Trying to lower our guard with a mere title? That’s hardly likely, Kang Xuan thought. He knew all too well why Housekeeper Zhong had come looking for Ye Yuning at this time. Even if Old Master Xiao were to accept Ye Yuning, it wouldn’t happen this quickly.

Upon hearing this, Housekeeper Zhong’s breathing grew heavier. "Kang Xuan, how long have you served the Seventh Young Master?"

Kang Xuan remained silent.

"I’m afraid you don’t quite understand the Old Master’s temper!"

"The Old Master’s temper is not my concern. I only need to remember the Seventh Young Master’s instructions," Kang Xuan replied. Right now, Xiao Linye was primarily guarding against the Xiao Family’s old residence.

Seeing that Kang Xuan was impervious to persuasion, Housekeeper Zhong’s eyes darkened. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"The Old Master is determined to see the Seventh Young Madam today!"

"Very well, then let the Seventh Young Master return and bring her over," Kang Xuan stated, his attitude equally firm.

This firmness made a dangerous glint flash in Housekeeper Zhong’s eyes. He glanced sideways slightly and gave a subtle look to the bodyguards behind him.

Seeing this, Kang Xuan’s gaze sharpened!

...

After Xiao Linye left, Ye Yuning felt drowsy and listless.

Losing a child must take a terrible toll on a woman’s body, she thought. My energy levels are certainly low.

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, a commotion erupted downstairs.

She didn’t want to bother with it and simply pulled the comforter over her head, intending to go back to sleep.

But the noise from below grew louder and louder.

Annoyed, she got up and went to the window to look. She saw two bodyguards in black dragging a person out the main gate and tossing them.

A closer look revealed... Housekeeper Zhong? she thought in surprise.

"Housekeeper Zhong, please forgive our actions!" one of the men called out.

"You... how dare you be so disrespectful!" Housekeeper Zhong raged.

He hadn’t expected Xiao Linye to station so many men here. Clearly, taking Ye Yuning away today would be no easy task, he fumed internally.

Kang Xuan said, "We are merely following the Seventh Young Master’s orders. As we’ve already told you, you need to inform the Seventh Young Master!"

Kang Xuan spoke each word with unyielding firmness.

Housekeeper Zhong was so enraged his face turned ashen.
