Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 734

Xiao Linye was still at the hospital; there was no need to ask what he was doing there. What other reason could there be besides Qi Mulan?

"What exactly happened to Qi Mulan?" Ye Yuning asked. She hadn’t asked a single word about it for a month, but now she finally spoke up.

Kang Xuan said, "It must be because Master Xiao ended the marriage unilaterally. She couldn’t take it, so..."

So what?

Kang Xuan didn’t continue, but Ye Yuning already had a rough idea of the situation.

"Boss, if you’re unhappy, how about I help you apply for more compensation money?"

Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow and then nodded. "That would be good!"

After all, it was an investment. One couldn’t just request a sum based on initial figures; when it actually came to spending, money was needed everywhere. If the funds were exhausted, where would she find more to cover the expenses? True, with the help of Ling Yan and Gui Xingli, she had managed to scrape together over ten billion from Elder Xiao. But life was so long; who knew what future financial needs might arise? So, if it was possible not to touch her own money, then she shouldn’t.

"Tell Xiao Linye about it."

"Hmm?"

"Set up a time. Don’t go to Xiangti; it’s not appropriate right now," Ye Yuning said.

With him and Qi Mulan in such a state, his appearing frequently at his ex-wife’s house at this time... Although she, Ye Yuning, had never cared much for her reputation. But if that reputation stirred up trouble, it would ultimately be undesirable!

Kang Xuan remained silent.

Just when the topic had seemingly shifted, it was brought up again.

Seeing his silence, Ye Yuning looked up at him. "What’s wrong?"

"I... I don’t dare!" Kang Xuan stammered, clearly agitated.

Ye Yuning frowned.

Kang Xuan was genuinely afraid. Passing such a message to Xiao Linye was practically a death wish! Even though Xiao Linye himself had been courting disaster all this month...

When it was time to get off work, Kang Xuan, who was driving, thought for a moment before pulling out his phone to send Xiao Linye a message. The message read: "Let’s set a time to talk outside. Don’t come to Xiangti!"

The brief message was enough to convey Ye Yuning’s current attitude towards him. However, Xiao Linye didn’t reply.

Ye Yuning didn’t care.

One month! A whole month. It had been enough time for her to sort out everything regarding Xiao Linye.

Yan Jun had said that she needed to be wary of the Xiao Family now. But whatever the Xiao Family’s intentions towards her were now, she didn’t care...

「Upon arriving at Xiangti」

Kang Xuan respectfully got out of the car to open Ye Yuning’s door. The moment she stepped out, she saw the Cayenne parked in the courtyard.

She knew without thinking that the car belonged to Xiao Linye. During the time they were together, he’d driven a Passat, pretending to be poor. Now that they were separated, it was either a Silver Angel, a Cayenne, or a Maybach! The infamous Xiao Seventh Lord apparently loved cars; it was said his garage housed all sorts of luxury vehicles. This Cayenne was relatively ordinary for him.

Kang Xuan also saw Xiao Linye’s car and glanced nervously at Ye Yuning as she alighted. "The Master is already back."

Ye Yuning walked in, her expression dark.

Seeing her return, Madame Chen hurriedly approached to respectfully take her bag and coat.

Xiao Linye was sitting in the dining room. Hearing the commotion, he looked towards her.

Ye Yuning glanced at Madame Chen. "When did he get back?"

"Just ten minutes ago."

Ye Yuning said nothing.

Just ten minutes ago! He must be incredibly busy. She had barely heard any news of him this past month, which showed he must have been constantly by Qi Mulan’s side.

Ye Yuning walked over and sat down opposite him.

The kitchen staff probably hadn’t adjusted to the fact that Ye Yuning had completed her postpartum confinement; they were still preparing highly nutritious meals. She wasn’t the type to gain weight easily, and the staff had been feeding her very well this past month.

Looking at the black-bone chicken, turtle, and fish soup on the table, Ye Yuning didn’t touch it.

Xiao Linye picked up a bowl, ladled some soup into it, and placed it in front of her. Ye Yuning didn’t even glance at it.

Holding her own rice bowl, she ate some slices of meat with chili oil. Her requirements for home-cooked food weren’t high; something simple and appetizing was enough.

Soon, her bowl of rice was empty.

Madame Chen approached. "Miss."

"No more, thank you," Ye Yuning said, shaking her head.

She usually ate little in the evenings. Then, using the same bowl she had eaten her rice from, she ladled some soup for herself. From start to finish, she didn’t spare a single glance for the bowl of soup Xiao Linye had served her.

Xiao Linye frowned slightly as he looked at her, but ultimately, he said nothing.

This continued until the meal ended.

Ye Yuning then said to Madame Chen, who was standing nearby, "Madame Chen, remember to see the guest out."

Madame Chen hesitated. Hearing the words "see the guest out," she stiffened and instinctively glanced at Xiao Linye.

The two of them—Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye—didn’t say anything to each other, but the atmosphere was clearly tense.

Kang Xuan had known something major would happen today, so after getting out of the car, he hadn’t even dared to enter the house.

Madame Chen looked uneasily at Ye Yuning, but Ye Yuning had already turned and was walking upstairs.

From the moment she had entered the house, through dinner, and up to now, she had consistently treated Xiao Linye as if he were thin air.

Xiao Linye’s expression was terribly dark, his entire aura chillingly distant.
