Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 722

Ye Yuning accepted the cup of water Kang Xuan handed her. After drinking more than half of it, the anger in her heart still couldn’t be suppressed.

She scoffed, "You’ve got some nerve. Aren’t you afraid he’ll find out and fire you?"

"Even if it means getting fired, I have to say it," Kang Xuan said. "This is a critical period for you; how could he make you angry?"

"Exactly," Ye Yuning said. "You’re more sensible than he is, and you’re just an assistant."

At this moment, Ye Yuning was indeed quite angry. His actions were already infuriating enough. Now he was throwing a tantrum? What right did he have to be angry?

Kang Xuan took the water cup she handed back but didn’t pursue that line of conversation. Instead, he changed the subject, asking, "You barely ate anything just now, did you? Shall I have the kitchen make something else for you?"

After arguing with Xiao Linye, Ye Yuning had hardly been in the mood to eat anything. She hadn’t had much of an appetite to begin with anyway.

However, seeing Kang Xuan’s excellent attitude now, and considering he had even dismissed Butler Zhong that day, Ye Yuning nodded. "Have the kitchen make me a bowl of noodles."

"I’ll make it for you. I’m best at making noodles."

"You?" Ye Yuning was a little skeptical.

But then she remembered how surprisingly skilled Xiao Linye was at cooking, so she figured Kang Xuan might be quite reliable too.

But this was Xiangti, and they had a professional chef. "There’s no need for such trouble; let the kitchen do it."

"It’s no trouble, no trouble at all!" Kang Xuan insisted. "As long as Madam wishes to eat, it’s no trouble at all."

Ye Yuning: "..."

Little did she know, Kang Xuan was actually terrified of being sent away, as he wouldn’t be able to report back satisfactorily upon his return. The situation in Upper City was extremely complicated at the moment, and he dared not leave Xiangti for even an instant. As for the Qi Family and the Xiao Family, no one knew what they were plotting in the shadows.

Kang Xuan quickly hurried into the kitchen. He then stealthily made a call to Xiao Linye.

「」

Meanwhile, Xiao Linye was in his car. His anger had mostly subsided, and he even felt a twinge of regret. He must have been insane! What on earth had he been doing just now? Losing his temper at *her*?! When he’d heard Ye Yuning utter those words in such a regretful tone, he had been driven mad with anger. But he had actually...

He pinched the aching bridge of his nose. Just as he was about to turn the car around and go back, Kang Xuan’s call came through.

"Sir," Kang Xuan began, "did you have an argument with Madam?"

"How is she?" Xiao Linye asked. His tone now clearly carried a hint of worry.

"Madam told me to get lost," Kang Xuan replied, "and to take all our men with me."

Xiao Linye: "..."

She really was furious. He knew full well what kind of temper she had, yet he’d lashed out at her then... It couldn’t be helped; too many things had happened at the company today.

"I’m coming back immediately," Xiao Linye said gravely.

His car had just reached an intersection. He yanked the steering wheel and made a U-turn.

However, just as he completed the turn, he heard Kang Xuan say from the other end, "Don’t! Please don’t come back yet, Sir!"

"What?" What did he mean, *don’t come back*?

"I just barely managed to coax Madam into a better mood," Kang Xuan said.

Xiao Linye: "..."

With those words, Xiao Linye’s expression chilled. What did he mean, *he* had coaxed *her* into a better mood? Did *his* woman need *this man* to soothe her?

Kang Xuan, on the other end of the line, still hadn’t sensed anything amiss and continued, "Please don’t come back yet, Sir. If you return now, Madam will refuse to eat again."

So, he was implying that the mere sight of him made Ye Yuning lose her appetite? Xiao Linye’s expression grew even grimmer.

"What are you doing?"

"I’m cooking for Madam!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Xiao Linye: "..."

The atmosphere inside the car instantly turned glacial.

"Are the kitchen staff all dead?" This time, his voice was utterly devoid of warmth.

Hearing Xiao Linye’s words, Kang Xuan’s mind went blank for a moment. "N-no, Sir, of course not!" Why would he ask if the kitchen staff were dead? He and Madam had argued; it wasn’t as if the kitchen staff had sown discord between them. How could the Sir say such a thing about them? Kang Xuan really didn’t understand.

"If the kitchen staff aren’t dead," Xiao Linye pressed, "then why do *you* need to cook for her?"

"Madam wants to eat noodles," Kang Xuan explained.

"And the kitchen staff can’t make them?" Xiao Linye retorted.

"N-no, that’s not it!"

Kang Xuan’s mind completely seized up. He had absolutely no idea what on earth had set his master off this time. He had nearly been kicked out of Xiangti; wasn’t it right to do something to properly get back into Madam’s good graces? Why was his master angry? What was he so angry about? Kang Xuan was genuinely baffled.

"Get out of the kitchen," Xiao Linye commanded. "Immediately."

"Ah? Sir..."

"Get out!"

Kang Xuan: "..."

Suddenly, a wave of profound grievance washed over him. What on earth had he done wrong? Why did his master have to speak to him so harshly? Was it really fair to treat him this way?

"Did you hear me?" When Xiao Linye heard no response from Kang Xuan on the other end of the line, his tone grew even sharper, almost cutting.

"H-heard you, Sir," Kang Xuan stammered.

"..."

"Then... what will Madam eat?" Before the call ended, Kang Xuan asked this, utterly bewildered.

The line went utterly silent.
