Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 736

However, her freedom was fleeting.

Xiao Linye quickly pulled her back into his arms and sat her down. Ye Yuning said angrily, "Don’t give me that."

Did he think he could fool her like last time? Was she that easy to fool? She was furious!

Xiao Linye kissed her forehead. "Which routine? Hmm?"

In his arms, she seemed as delicate as a kitten.

Seeing Ye Yuning remain silent, Xiao Linye asked, "Trying to fool me again?"

Ye Yuning scoffed.

That only works if there’s still a chance, if you can still fool the other person. But she wasn’t going to give Xiao Linye even the slightest chance now. Even if he wanted to try and fool her, he wouldn’t find an opening.

Xiao Linye brushed aside the stray hairs by her ear.

Before he could speak, his phone vibrated, interrupting them.

Xiao Linye picked it up and glanced at the screen. As he answered, he released Ye Yuning.

It was unclear what was said on the other end.

He was only heard saying into the phone, "I’ll be right over. Try to keep her stable for now."

With that, he hung up. Without even changing, he grabbed a coat and headed out.

He swept past Ye Yuning, a gust of wind in his wake, said nothing, and went straight outside.

Ye Yuning stood rooted to the spot.

His scent lingered. She closed her eyes; no one knew what she was truly feeling at that moment.

Qin Jinchuan knew Xiao Linye was returning today and had hurried over.

However, just as he stepped out of his car, he saw Xiao Linye emerging from the villa.

Qin Jinchuan frowned and approached. "Are you going out?"

He hadn’t been back for a month! How long had he even been back now?

Xiao Linye merely glanced at him, said nothing, then got directly into his car and drove off.

Qin Jinchuan was speechless.

His expression involuntarily darkened.

Truthfully, he didn’t want Xiao Linye and Ye Yuning to reconcile. But Xiao Linye’s current behavior... it truly left him speechless. What on earth had made him suddenly care so much about Qi Mulan?

Kang Xuan appeared from somewhere.

He’d just seen Xiao Linye leave, and he too was shocked. Why did he just leave? He actually...

When Qin Jinchuan saw him, his temper flared. "What’s gotten into your master lately?"

Especially his attitude towards Qi Mulan—it was baffling. Previously, in Turanxi, he had seemed intent on dealing with Qi Mulan decisively. Now, it seemed he had, but this past month...

Kang Xuan shook his head. "I don’t know!"

Clearly, even he couldn’t comprehend Xiao Linye’s sudden change in attitude towards Qi Mulan.

Logically, considering their past or even Ye Yuning’s place in his heart, his recent attitude was completely out of line.

Qin Jinchuan frowned and turned back into the villa.

Upon reaching the entrance hall, he saw Ye Yuning inside, eating.

He couldn’t tell if she hadn’t eaten enough earlier because she’d been sulking while Xiao Linye was around, or if she was now just venting her frustrations.

Regardless, she was tearing into a piece of meat with large bites.

Qin Jinchuan approached with a furrowed brow and sat directly opposite her.

Seeing him, Ye Yuning frowned. "Why are you here?"

"Why do you still let him into this place?" Qin Jinchuan snorted coldly.

In his opinion, Ye Yuning shouldn’t have let Xiao Linye in at all.

Ye Yuning said, "That’s Lord Xiao Qi of Upper City, a man no one dares to provoke. He goes where he pleases. Who could possibly stop him?"

Qin Jinchuan asked, "Is that all?"

"What else could it be?" Ye Yuning retorted. "Why else would I let him into Xiangti? To put it plainly, I simply couldn’t stop him!"

Qin Jinchuan asked, "Why did he leave again?"

"Probably because Qi Mulan is trying to kill herself again!"

What else could it be? He’d been by her side for a month, just arrived at Xiangti today, and a single phone call had summoned him away.

Other than Qi Mulan, Ye Yuning couldn’t think of any other reason.

Qin Jinchuan listened to her indifferent tone and sighed. "You and him, sigh..."

"Isn’t this what you wanted to see?"

Seeing Qin Jinchuan sigh, Ye Yuning stuffed a piece of chicken into her mouth, then took a large gulp of soup.

Qin Jinchuan said, "It’s true I don’t want you two together, but his current attitude towards Qi Mulan is really strange."

They’d been friends for so many years; he thought he understood him quite well.

However, Xiao Linye’s current actions truly baffled Qin Jinchuan.

Ye Yuning said, "Whether it’s strange or not, it has nothing to do with me. I’m only focused on my tourism venture now."

"Focusing on your career? Are you really that nonchalant?"

"Can I afford not to be? Or do you think I should also resort to histrionics and suicide threats?"

She really wasn’t that kind of person! She disdained such actions. If she were, Xiao Shuo would have been driven mad by her long ago. During those years when Xiao Shuo was her fiancé, he fooled around so much outside, yet she never bothered with it. Honestly, it was simply because she disdained to! If she had truly cared, who knows what methods she would have employed? Those other women wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Qin Jinchuan said, "You’re not that kind of person!"

He said it without a second thought.

Ye Yuning truly wasn’t that kind of person; otherwise, the Xiao Family and the Qi Family would have been turned upside down by now.

"You might not want to cause them trouble," Qin Jinchuan continued, "but they won’t let you off the hook. The Xiao Family and the Qi Family—both of them!"
