Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 741

Resigning for such a reason... I can’t even begin to imagine how furious Xiao Linye would be if he found out.

Kang Xuan said, "You will protect me."

"Are you so sure about that?"

"Yeah, very sure, because you’re protective of your own!"

That was indeed the truth.

Over the years, why were people at Manlang reluctant to leave? Salary was one aspect.

Another reason was that no one dared to plagiarize works from Manlang!

Ye Tong was an exception last time, but she paid the price for it.

In the past, if such an incident occurred, Ye Yuning would tear the culprit to shreds.

"Fine, you’ve got nerve. But can you handle one more thing?" Ye Yuning took another sip of water and asked.

Kang Xuan asked, "What is it?"

"The matter of applying for the money."

Ye Yuning had never thought of handling that matter herself—hadn’t she always let Kang Xuan apply for it? Now he’s gone and directly said the man has character issues! How is he going to face Xiao Linye after this?

When Kang Xuan heard this, he was petrified!

Right, how could I forget about that? It’s over!

Kang Xuan was completely flustered.

Actually, it was also because during this period, Xiao Linye was busy dealing with Qi Mulan one moment and Ye Yuning the next, which Kang Xuan simply couldn’t stand. In fact, the Xiao Family had been constantly causing trouble, and Xiao Linye was still always by Qi Mulan’s side. So when Ye Yuning agreed to let him stay and work at Manlang, he got angry and rashly...!

Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, you have to get me the money, or it’ll be very difficult for us to proceed with that project."

"Don’t you have over ten billion?" Kang Xuan felt like crying.

When it comes to investment, it’s always best to use one’s own money; it’s more dignified!

Ye Yuning said, "I have money, but I’m not using it. He owes me, so he should be the one to pay."

Kang Xuan fell silent.

Alright, so now whenever she wants to use a significant amount of money, she definitely has to go to Xiao Linye.

"Then fine, I’ll go ask for it."

"..."

"After all, he’s the one who owes you, not the other way around. What’s there to feel awkward about?"

Although approaching Xiao Linye at this time might get him chewed out, he still had to do it—it was his job now.

Ye Yuning patted Kang Xuan’s shoulder and then gave him a thumbs-up. "Good awareness."

"Of course," Kang Xuan replied superficially, but deep down, he was truly on the verge of breaking down.

Going to Xiao Linye at this time would definitely mean a scolding, but there was no other way; he had to go!

Thinking of his fate, Kang Xuan couldn’t stop sighing.

***

Meanwhile, Xiao Linye had spent another entire night at the hospital.

The next morning, as Ye Yuning came downstairs, she heard the sound of a car engine from outside.

That sound... it was unmistakably Xiao Linye returning.

Kang Xuan had just placed porridge on the table. Seeing Ye Yuning come down, he quickly removed his apron. "Boss, take your time eating."

Then he ran off like a streak of smoke, obviously trying to avoid Xiao Linye.

Ye Yuning didn’t even know that Kang Xuan was now the one making her breakfast.

But seeing how terrified he was of Xiao Linye, Ye Yuning felt a little worried about whether he could actually secure that sum of over ten billion for her.

Just as she sat down, Xiao Linye entered from outside.

He was still wearing the clothes from the previous night.

Ye Yuning acted as if she didn’t see him, picking up her bowl of porridge and taking a sip.

The porridge is quite good! She remembered Kang Xuan used to cook before, but his attempts back then really left much to be desired. Who would have thought his cooking skills would improve so dramatically in such a short time?

Xiao Linye sat down across from her.

Ye Yuning lowered her head to pick at some side dishes, not saying a word.

She was now treating Xiao Linye as if he were thin air.

Xiao Linye watched her, and seeing her silence, his expression darkened further.

"Sir, your porridge."

It was Chen Sao who brought him a bowl of porridge, breaking the tense atmosphere.

However, even so, the atmosphere in the room didn’t improve much.

Xiao Linye looked at Ye Yuning.

Yet even under such pressure, Ye Yuning showed no intention of speaking.

After a while, Xiao Linye finally spoke, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Ye Yuning paused, spoon in hand, without looking up. "What on purpose?"

Clearly, she didn’t understand what Xiao Linye was talking about.

Xiao Linye said, "Kang Xuan’s matter."

At the mention of Kang Xuan, Ye Yuning recalled how peculiarly he had behaved last night when he talked about his reason for resigning.

She couldn’t help but let out a scoff. "Have you seen Kang Xuan’s reason for resigning?"

Xiao Linye’s breathing grew heavier.

Ye Yuning continued, "The people closest to you think there’s a problem with your character. You should really take a good look at yourself."

This is the most dreadful thing for a person. If everyone around you starts to think there’s something wrong with you, that’s truly terrifying. And these weren’t just any people; it was the assistant who had worked for him for so many years who couldn’t stand it anymore.

Xiao Linye’s eyes darkened.
