Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 724

Xiao Linye didn’t care about any of that.

Ye Yuning struggled to pull her hand free from his, but Xiao Linye wouldn’t let her.

"Why don’t you get up and have something to eat first? You hardly ate anything at noon."

"And why didn’t I eat anything?"

"Blame me, it’s all my fault," Xiao Linye coaxed softly.

Their earlier argument had made their already precarious relationship even more fragile.

Now, no matter Ye Yuning’s attitude, Xiao Linye was determined to do one thing: persist relentlessly!

Ye Yuning began, "You..."

"Eat first. I know you’re angry, but please, eat first, alright? If you don’t eat properly, where will you get the energy to stay angry?"

"Who has that much energy to waste being angry with you!" Ye Yuning said irritably.

Xiao Linye said, "Yes, yes, yes. After eating, you’ll have energy to sleep."

Ye Yuning fell silent.

This man was a real scoundrel!

Xiao Linye resorted to tactics he had never used before.

With dogged persistence, he lifted Ye Yuning from the bed, wrapping her in a thin blanket.

Then he carried her to the small table.

"Did you make this?" Ye Yuning asked, looking at the bowl of noodles.

Two fried eggs sat on top of the noodles.

Xiao Linye said, "If you want to eat in the future, just tell me. You’re not allowed to ask Kang Xuan to cook for you."

"Did I ask him to cook?"

"No, he just can’t keep his hands to himself!"

Ye Yuning was taken aback.

She didn’t quite understand what Xiao Linye meant. Was Kang Xuan not allowed to cook for her? Or did he consider his assistant too precious for such tasks?

Xiao Linye asked, "Do you want me to feed you?"

"No need!"

A knot formed in Ye Yuning’s chest.

She had never seen this side of Xiao Linye. What on earth was this act all about?

She wanted nothing to do with Xiao Linye, but he seemed to ignore her protests completely.

Even though she didn’t want to see him, he showed no sign of leaving.

"Try it. Quick!"

Ye Yuning scoffed.

She didn’t want to eat the noodles he had made, but she was genuinely hungry now.

After all, who was it that had tormented her so much at noon? She couldn’t care less anymore.

She had just taken a bite when Xiao Linye’s phone vibrated.

The man took out his phone, glanced at the number—it was Kang Xuan—and answered, "Hello."

"Sir, something’s happened."

"What is it?"

"Miss Qi..."

The moment he heard it concerned Qi Mulan, Xiao Linye instinctively covered the phone’s receiver.

However, Ye Yuning had already heard.

But at that moment, she showed no reaction, merely continuing to eat her food quietly.

Xiao Linye glanced at her, then took the phone out to the balcony.

It was unclear what was said on the other end.

In less than a minute, Xiao Linye returned to the room, his expression dark and grim.

He looked at Ye Yuning, about to speak, but then...

Ye Yuning said coldly, "If you’re going, just go!"

She wasn’t a fool. Years in her line of work had made reading people a fundamental skill. His attitude clearly showed he wanted to leave, didn’t it? Fine, then. Go! Just go!

Xiao Linye nodded. "I won’t be back tonight. Kang Xuan will stay here with you."

Ye Yuning’s already sullen face darkened further when she heard Xiao Linye say he wouldn’t be back all night.

Utter indifference filled her eyes.

The moment she looked up, she saw Xiao Linye’s retreating figure hurry out of the room.

He left. He left because of Qi Mulan. And he claimed he and Qi Mulan were divorced! Yet, it was clear their past abroad still held sway.

Not long after Xiao Linye departed, Kang Xuan came upstairs and stood at the doorway. "Madam!"

The bedroom door was open; Xiao Linye, in his haste, hadn’t bothered to close it.

It was a clear sign of how rushed his departure had been.

Ye Yuning put down her chopsticks. She had only managed a few bites of the noodles and now had no appetite left.

"What happened to Qi Mulan?" Ye Yuning asked icily.

Kang Xuan replied, "We don’t know the situation yet. Sir asked me to take good care of you."

"’Ha! "Take good care of me,"’ she repeated, her voice laced with scorn.

His assistant would look after her, while he went to care for his ’current wife’? True, even though he and Qi Mulan had divorce papers, everyone in Upper City still considered Qi Mulan his current wife.

Seeing Ye Yuning’s displeased expression, Kang Xuan worried she might take her anger at Xiao Linye out on him by telling him to get lost.

Before Ye Yuning could speak again, Kang Xuan quickly interjected, "Sir is really going too far, abandoning you like that!"

Ye Yuning retorted, "Isn’t it normal for him to abandon me?"

Now she understood perfectly. No matter what happened, Xiao Linye’s first instinct was always to abandon her.

Kang Xuan urged, "Please eat a little more. Don’t let your anger towards someone like him harm your health."

Hearing this, Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow at Kang Xuan.

A sneer touched her lips. "Aren’t you afraid he’ll have your hide?"

"Afraid?" Kang Xuan said. "But Sir has truly gone too far. You can’t forgive him so easily after this."

What a mess! Previously, whenever anything happened with Madam Ye, his first reaction was to abandon her. Now, when he was supposedly begging for forgiveness, something came up with Miss Qi, and he’d abandoned Madam Ye again!

Ye Yuning scoffed, "Forgive?"

Forgive him? Had she ever truly forgiven Xiao Linye? His sudden change earlier had swayed her only because she hadn’t had time to process it. However, his departure because of Qi Mulan jolted Ye Yuning back to reality.
