Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 742

Ye Yuning picked at some side dishes and said, "Kang Xuan has joined Manlang now. Don’t make things difficult for him."

"Oh? Protecting him now?" Xiao Linye scoffed.

"Can’t I?" Ye Yuning retorted.

"You can, of course, you can!" Xiao Linye replied. "But I was actually hoping to discuss your tourism route project. Now, it seems unnecessary."

Hearing this, Ye Yuning paused, the food halfway to her mouth, and stared intently at Xiao Linye.

She raised an eyebrow. "You’ve looked at it?"

"That route isn’t suitable. Investing in it will definitely lead to a loss. Don’t waste your effort."

Ye Yuning fell silent. She didn’t like hearing that at all. Even though Xiao Linye was competent in business, his words made her very uncomfortable.

"What do you mean, ’not suitable’? You just don’t want to invest the money, right?"

After all, it was over ten billion. She knew getting that much money wouldn’t be easy. But Xiao Linye’s direct refusal still upset her.

Xiao Linye frowned. "That route isn’t suitable. You’ve been in tourism design for so many years; you should know its drawbacks."

"I know about the drawbacks! But who can resist people’s desire for novelty and fun?"

"You..." Xiao Linye’s breathing grew heavy. This side of Ye Yuning was giving him a bit of a headache.

"In short, that route won’t work. I won’t approve it."

Ye Yuning fell silent again. He wouldn’t approve?

She lowered her gaze and sniffled. "If my brother were here, I could do whatever I wanted. I wouldn’t have to care about what anyone else thought."

"Are you trying to leverage that debt of gratitude?"

"You do owe my brother, don’t you?"

Xiao Linye was speechless. His head throbbed even more. During the time they were together before, they had never had any conflicts of interest, so things had been easy then. But now, Ye Yuning... she was actually...

Ye Yuning pressed, "Do you owe it or not?"

"I owe it!"

"Then is fifteen billion too much for that debt?"

"Do you think that’s pocket change? That it grows on trees?" Xiao Linye’s temper flared. He hated being threatened, especially when someone leveraged a past favor. This feeling was truly unbearable.

Ye Yuning retorted, "I don’t know if it’s like leaves to you, but you owe the debt, don’t you!"

"I’ll find you a different, suitable investment. Drop this idea for now."

"I only want this one!"

"You..."

"I trust my own judgment," Ye Yuning stated stubbornly.

She truly believed in her assessment and was aware of the drawbacks Xiao Linye had pointed out. But these drawbacks were nothing compared to those in other tourism routes she had designed before.

Ye Yuning finished her meal and stood up abruptly. "I’m off to work."

"Stop right there!" Xiao Linye was thoroughly irritated.

Ye Yuning paid him no mind, acting as if she hadn’t heard him, and walked straight out.

When Lai Shuo received word and came over, he saw Ye Yuning in a poufy dress. Paired with a small jacket, she looked just like a child.

Seeing her, Lai Shuo paused. Although he disliked her, he still bowed his head respectfully. "Miss Ye."

Ye Yuning didn’t spare him a glance and got straight into the car. Her attitude was extraordinarily arrogant.

Lai Shuo felt thoroughly snubbed, and a wave of displeasure washed over him.

After Ye Yuning got into the car, Kang Xuan wasn’t there. She immediately made a call, which was answered quickly.

"Boss."

"We’re leaving."

"Okay, please wait for me a moment."

She hung up. Kang Xuan had hastily hidden upstairs earlier. Hearing Ye Yuning say they were leaving, he hesitated at the top of the stairs; Xiao Linye was still downstairs, and he didn’t dare go down. But he also didn’t dare keep Ye Yuning waiting. Finally, he gritted his teeth and descended the stairs.

Xiao Linye heard the movement and looked up to see Kang Xuan coming down the stairs. His expression darkened at the mere sight of him.

"Sir," Kang Xuan greeted.

"Kang Xuan," Xiao Linye said, each word dripping with menace, "you’ve really got some nerve."

Kang Xuan’s back stiffened. "I have to go. The boss is waiting for me."

That single word, ’Boss,’ infuriated Xiao Linye further. That scoundrel! Who exactly *was* his boss?

Sensing the murderous aura directed at him, Kang Xuan didn’t dare linger and quickly fled. Watching him run off, Xiao Linye grew even more incensed.

As Kang Xuan hurried out, he passed Lai Shuo. Lai Shuo’s expression soured further at the sight of Kang Xuan, but Kang Xuan ignored him and left.

When Lai Shuo entered, he found Xiao Linye’s face dark and stormy.

"Sir," Lai Shuo said, approaching him.

Xiao Linye narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Fire Kang Xuan for me."

"You seem to have forgotten, Sir. He already submitted his resignation letter last night!"

Xiao Linye was rendered speechless. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth in anger.

Every single one of them was determined to cause him trouble! Ye Yuning and Kang Xuan... were those two conspiring to be the death of him? Or did they both have a death wish?
