Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 751

But even if Xiao Linye was being a disappointment, Kang Xuan believed it was his own fault.

What do women hate most? It’s when the damn man who keeps professing his love is never by her side when she needs him most.

This time Xiao Linye had truly gone too far... When Ye Yuning was in her postpartum confinement, he had actually been taking care of Qi Mulan the entire time.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Linye gave Kang Xuan a cold glare. Kang Xuan felt a tremor in his chest from the stare and quickly took out his phone to dial Ye Yuning’s number, but her phone was off.

"It’s off," Kang Xuan said to Xiao Linye. It’s not my fault I can’t get through, right?

Xiao Linye said, "You’re her assistant now, aren’t you? Don’t you have any other way to contact her?"

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

Normally, a boss has two phone numbers: one for work and a private one. The number he was dialing now was her private one. He really had no idea what Ye Yuning’s work number was. It was one thing for him not to know, but why didn’t Xiao Linye, as her ex-husband, know either?

Kang Xuan looked at Xiao Linye nervously, seething inwardly but not daring to speak!

Xiao Linye said, "Get Chen Wei to call her."

"Ah?"

"What? You said you were spiritually job-hopping; did you actually switch allegiances?"

Kang Xuan fell silent.

This is awful! How could he dare say he’d really switched allegiances? He hurriedly called Chen Wei.

However, before the call connected, the office door opened from the outside, and Ye Yuning appeared at the entrance. She looked at the two men inside, her expression stiffening for a moment before she raised an eyebrow.

Kang Xuan quickly stepped forward. "Boss, Seventh Master Xiao forced his way in; I couldn’t stop him!"

Xiao Linye said nothing.

His expression, already dark because Ye Yuning had dined with Qin Jinchuan, turned even more menacing upon hearing Kang Xuan’s words. He shot Kang Xuan a cold glare, as if he wanted to devour him.

Ye Yuning had been suspicious about what these two were doing secretly in her office. Now, hearing Kang Xuan’s words, her suspicion somewhat abated.

She waved her hand. "You can go out first."

"Okay." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Kang Xuan, as if granted amnesty, quickly turned and left the office.

Now, only Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye remained. Ye Yuning glared at him coldly. "What are you doing here? Is everything settled with Qi Mulan?"

Her tone was light, as if Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan were husband and wife, and she was merely a tactful outsider. Her current attitude starkly emphasized the distance between them.

Xiao Linye took a deep breath. "Did you return that more than ten billion to Qin Jinchuan?"

"He asked me to invest in a tourism project for him; consider it an initial investment."

Xiao Linye was silent.

He took another deep breath. Qin Jinchuan asking her to invest for him clearly had ulterior motives.

"Why do you think he wants you to invest for him?" Xiao Linye asked coldly.

Ye Yuning replied, "Naturally, because he trusts me."

Xiao Linye retorted, "He trusts you? How much is your character worth?"

Ye Yuning fell silent, glaring coldly at Xiao Linye.

Clearly, their way of interacting now was completely different from before. During their time at Shanyu Pavilion, she had been tender and thoughtful, while he had been gentle as jade; both had shown each other their best sides. But from the moment they completely parted ways, Shanyu Pavilion seemed to have become a dream for them—a dream that, upon waking, they would never resume.

At this moment, Xiao Linye was being sarcastic. Ye Yuning’s lips curled into a mocking smile. "Regardless of what my character is worth, Qin Jinchuan trusts me. It’s more than ten billion; I wanted to return it, but he wouldn’t accept it!"

"Ye Yuning, do you even have a brain? Can’t you see his intentions towards you?"

"I’ve seen them. I can keep emotions and business quite separate." Since Qin Jinchuan said the money was for investment, she would ensure he profited in the tourism industry.

Xiao Linye took another deep breath, his complexion growing even uglier. "You can keep them separate? On what grounds? Is your reputation not tarnished enough already?"

"My reputation is tarnished, but wasn’t that caused by your Xiao Family? Now you’re blaming me for these unclear entanglements?"

Ye Yuning scoffed. She had never imagined she would argue with Xiao Linye during their time at Shanyu Pavilion. Given the attitude he had shown back then, it hadn’t seemed possible for them to fight.

One truly cannot judge people solely by their best side! Tang Xi was right... In the beginning, everything is wonderful; you can even talk in bed all night without feeling tired. It’s the novelty! Once that wears off, only interests remain.

She felt this was how it was between her and Xiao Linye; he had been the first to tire of her. So, when the news about her being Xiao Shuo’s ex-fiancée broke, Xiao Linye had merely used it as an excuse to create a scene.
