Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 728

Back in Turanxi, he had seen Xiao Linye’s unwavering determination to win Ye Yuning over.

He was dead set on getting Ye Yuning back.

And just yesterday afternoon, Xiao Linye had finalized his divorce from Qi Mulan.

Therefore, Qin Jinchuan had assumed everything was settled.

But who could have predicted such a turn of events today! It seemed he had miscalculated...

"Will you forgive him?" Qin Jinchuan asked, instead of answering Ye Yuning’s question.

Ye Yuning: "..."

Would she forgive Xiao Linye?

Hearing Qin Jinchuan ask such a question, Ye Yuning actually felt a sense of suffocation.

She lowered her gaze to the water cup in her hands.

She now repeated to Qin Jinchuan what she had just told Gui Xingli.

"Ever since I learned about his connection to my deceased brother, it feels like our destinies were intertwined from the start."

"You mean..."

"Does everyone think he has to take care of me—through marriage—because of my brother?"

Qin Jinchuan: "..."

Yes, that was indeed the case!

Sheng Hanyi’s death back then was inextricably linked to Xiao Linye.

Without Sheng Hanyi, there would be no Xiao Linye today. He wouldn’t have survived this long.

Ye Yuning: "But now, no matter how he tries to compensate me, it’s him I don’t really want." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

This was her true feeling at this moment.

Perhaps Xiao Linye would treat her well for a lifetime because of her brother.

But at the same time, during her recent interactions with Xiao Linye, she had become acutely aware of one problem.

The truth was, the amount of trouble surrounding him was simply overwhelming.

Especially complications involving women!

"Apart from Qi Mulan, are there others?" Ye Yuning asked.

Qin Jinchuan: "Qi Mulan has always prided herself on being close to him. Many women admire him, but he hasn’t been romantically involved with any of them."

"Did Qi Mulan have a relationship with him before?"

"No!"

"Then you’ve seen it too. Qi Mulan had no actual relationship with him, yet she still caused me so much trouble. By that logic, other women, even those not involved with him, could bring similar complications."

"..."

"I’m inherently not fond of romantic drama, especially when other women are involved!"

Even though she herself was a woman.

But emotionally, while she hadn’t experienced much over the years, she had witnessed a fair amount.

At least, the relationships she had observed didn’t align with her own values.

The mess stirred up by Xiao Shuo and Ye Tong alone...

...had already disgusted her to an extreme. If romantic relationships inevitably involved a persistent third-party entanglement, she would rather do without.

Hearing Ye Yuning speak so lucidly and calmly, Qin Jinchuan felt his heart clench.

"So, you won’t get back together with Xiao Linye?"

"Of course not," Ye Yuning said.

In that moment, her answer was utterly firm.

Perhaps last night, under Xiao Linye’s relentless pursuit, she had wavered for a moment.

But today’s events had made her understand completely!

If she truly got together with Xiao Linye, she would likely face such troubles continuously.

And these were precisely the things she loathed the most.

Hearing such a firm response, Qin Jinchuan nodded. "Alright, I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"Starting today, I will protect you."

His words, in that moment, were also particularly resolute.

Upper City was currently a somewhat troublesome place for Ye Yuning. However, because of Shang Yu, she couldn’t simply leave.

But Qin Jinchuan now clearly understood how Ye Yuning truly felt about Xiao Linye.

Since she had already developed such aversion, then he, Qin Jinchuan, couldn’t be blamed for disregarding their brotherly bond.

He had wanted to honor their bond.

But now...

Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow, "No need!"

"So, you want Xiao Linye’s protection?"

Ye Yuning: "..."

Want it?

Of course not!

But the current situation was somewhat complex, and some things were...

Qin Jinchuan: "I’ll have Kang Xuan leave this place, and he can take Xiao Linye’s men with him."

Ye Yuning: "Qin Jinchuan, you should be very clear. I’ve reached the point of abhorring so-called romantic relationships."

She stated bluntly.

Originally, Xiao Linye had been somewhat of a savior to her in matters of love.

After Xiao Shuo had shattered her worldview with his kind of relationship, Xiao Linye had seemed like a beacon of light in the darkness of her emotional world.

But who could have thought that this beacon would now dim so completely, making her despise such entanglements even more?

Qin Jinchuan: "I know. But rest assured, I won’t pressure you."

Ye Yuning: "Why bother..."

"Ningning."

"What he did to me before, you’ve also done. You should know that!"

"Enough!"

Before Ye Yuning could finish, Qin Jinchuan cut her off abruptly.

"I’m much cleaner than he is."

At least in matters of the heart, he, Qin Jinchuan, believed that if he were in Xiao Linye’s shoes today, he wouldn’t have gotten entangled with Qi Mulan—not with Ye Yuning in the picture.

For Xiao Linye to go looking for Qi Mulan at a time like this, whatever his reasons, was utterly repulsive.

Ye Yuning’s breathing grew heavy, and for that moment, she couldn’t utter a single word.

She appeared articulate and logical, but inwardly, her heart was in turmoil.

Only one thought echoed in her mind: she didn’t want to be further entangled with Xiao Linye, nor did she want any involvement with Qin Jinchuan.
