Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 760

He looked at Ye Yuning’s delicate cheeks, met the stubbornness in her eyes, and felt his heart clench.

Especially the words "wild girl," which now hammered against Xiao Linye’s chest.

When Sheng Hanyi was alive, he had always been searching for Ye Yuning.

The one he couldn’t let go of was this sister of his...

If Sheng Hanyi had found her sooner, who would now have the right to point at her and scold?

Xiao Linye closed his eyes briefly. "You know, all the worries your brother had for you were unnecessary."

His tone carried a hint of helplessness and a touch of indulgence.

If Sheng Hanyi knew his sister was so sharp-tongued, why would he have worried about her?

She was more likely to devour others than be devoured herself; what was there to worry about?

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuning’s gaze froze.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Linye didn’t scold her directly. She had thought he would reprimand her.

But he hadn’t!

Xiao Linye stood up and turned to leave the room. "Go to sleep. I’ll be in the study for a while."

Ye Yuning snorted, remaining silent.

What was he going to the study for? No need to guess; he must be dealing with Qi Mulan’s matter.

He had said he wanted a serious talk, but now there was no need.

No sooner had Xiao Linye turned to leave than Ye Yuning’s phone began to ring.

This time, it was a call from the Xiao Family.

Since Old Master Xiao had started that plan involving Xiao Shuo, the Xiao Family had seemingly disappeared from her life.

But she had always known her issues with the Xiao Family weren’t settled.

Old Master Xiao wouldn’t let her off easily.

And now, here it was!

The entire Upper City was in an uproar today, and now the call had come.

Old Master Xiao’s plans for her had probably begun too!

Ye Yuning answered, "Hello."

"Miss Ye, it’s me," came Butler Zhong’s voice from the other end.

Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

"The Old Master wishes to see you."

"When?"

"Right now. I’m on my way to pick you up."

Ye Yuning was speechless.

Old Master Xiao wants to see me, at this hour?

Ye Yuning retorted, "I’ve already gone to bed!"

Clearly, she didn’t want to see Old Master Xiao. In Ye Yuning’s view, these people were irrelevant to her.

Now, these people were causing her trouble, and deep down, she instinctively didn’t want to deal with these hassles.

Butler Zhong said, "I’m afraid you’ll have to endure some trouble!"

The attitude on the other end remained firm.

The tone sounded respectful, but the implication was undeniably forceful.

"What if I say I won’t go?"

If they were going to be forceful, Ye Yuning wasn’t one to back down easily.

If she said she wouldn’t go, then she wouldn’t. Threats wouldn’t work on her.

Butler Zhong continued, "Miss Ye, you’re probably planning to live in Upper City for some time, aren’t you?"

So, politeness hadn’t worked; now came the threats.

Ye Yuning stated, "If he wants to see me, fine. Then have his precious son, Xiao Linye, bring me to the Xiao Family residence."

Go to the Xiao Family residence by myself? Definitely not happening.

Whatever tricks Old Master Xiao had up his sleeve, with Xiao Shuo still in the picture, I’m not stupid enough to fall for them.

I won’t just walk into Old Master Xiao’s trap!

So, with Old Master Xiao now wanting her to visit the old mansion, Ye Yuning was determined not to go.

Butler Zhong, on the other end of the line, clearly hadn’t expected her to respond this way.

"Miss Ye, if you continue like this, it won’t be good for you."

"Xiao Linye is at Xiangti tonight. What excuse do you expect me to use to leave? That I’m going out to find other men?"

"You..."

Just as Xiao Linye pushed the door open and entered, he heard Ye Yuning’s words, and his face immediately darkened.

Ye Yuning also saw him, her expression showing no intention of backing down.

"Stop calling me! And tell your Old Master I know exactly what he’s planning. Tell him to give it up!"

He was the one talking about shame earlier, yet he’s the one causing such a stir today? What’s he trying to do? Force me to marry Xiao Shuo?

That Xiao Shuo... I’ve looked down on him from the start, and I’m even less likely to consider him now.

And marriage is something one must be very careful about.

That cur, Xiao Shuo, is a jinx to anyone who gets involved with him.

He has no ability to earn money whatsoever. If I actually married him, I’d have to give him half of our marital assets.

Only a lunatic would marry that bastard Xiao Shuo.

Ye Yuning hung up the phone abruptly.

Facing Xiao Linye’s gloomy expression, she chuckled. "Your family’s patriarch seems to be in a hurry now."

Xiao Linye demanded, "Looking for what man?"

Ye Yuning remained silent. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

So he just walked in and only caught that one line? Explaining it would be a long story, and right now, I have neither the energy nor the inclination; I’m already exhausted.

Seeing she didn’t respond, Xiao Linye swiftly closed the distance between them. He grabbed her slender neck. "Ye Yuning, you’d better be straight with me."

Ye Yuning was already furious, and Xiao Linye’s action pushed her over the edge. "You! A man who can’t even be faithful himself, and you dare to demand honesty from me? Are you out of your mind, Xiao Linye?"

He spent over a month with another woman, and now he’s accusing *me* of being dishonest?

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! That reasoning wouldn’t hold up anywhere, would it?
